98. One by one, you'll battle.Copy !req
99. And in the end, only one of youCopy !req
100. will be crowned America's
Next Drag Superstar.Copy !req
101. But before we get started,Copy !req
102. I want to take a moment
to celebrate each of you.Copy !req
103. First up, turning looks,
stunting pretty,Copy !req
104. she's the bitch
from New York City.Copy !req
105. Take a look.Copy !req
106. - My name is Aquaria,
and I am a superstar.Copy !req
107. I'm here to prove to peopleCopy !req
108. that I actually do have the
chops that I say that I have.Copy !req
109. I went with
Russia hooker urine.Copy !req
110. I can walk on this runway
in a diaperCopy !req
111. and they would eat me up.Copy !req
112. - Every week, you brought
amazing looks to the runway.Copy !req
113. - It is an iconic
fashion moment.Copy !req
114. - Hi, Aquaria.Copy !req
115. - Hi, RuPaul. How are you?Copy !req
116. - Now, you were never
in the bottom two.Copy !req
117. - I'm not really into bottoming
as far as I know now.Copy !req
118. But I am not necessarily
opposed to tryingCopy !req
119. or at least lip syncing.Copy !req
120. - Yes, of course.
Well, now what's your strategyCopy !req
121. for slaying
these lip syncs tonight?Copy !req
122. - I've definitely learned
what the audiences likeCopy !req
123. and what the fans like from me,
which is for me to be me.Copy !req
124. And I think I've tickled
your fancyCopy !req
125. a couple of times on purpose,
by accident, either/or.Copy !req
126. So I know how to impress you.Copy !req
127. I know how to impress
the audience,Copy !req
128. and I'm definitely here
to steal this showCopy !req
129. and hopefully a check, so...Copy !req
130. - Yeah. So now,
of all the top four,Copy !req
131. who is the toughest queen
to take down tonight?Copy !req
132. - Definitely,
the toughest to take downCopy !req
133. seems to be Asia O'Hara.Copy !req
134. She has been doing this for...Copy !req
135. she has been doing drag
for nearly 46 yearsCopy !req
136. or something like that
approximately.Copy !req
137. And that's not age-ist.Copy !req
138. That's just knowing that
she's proven herselfCopy !req
139. to be someone who is
fierce freaking competition.Copy !req
140. - So, now, Aquaria, tell me.Copy !req
141. Who are Gina and David
Palandrani?Copy !req
142. - Not their government names.Copy !req
143. - Are they from Philly?
- They are from Philly.Copy !req
144. They are my beautiful mother
and father, so supportive.Copy !req
145. - Whoo! Whoo-whoo!Copy !req
146. - Now, I know
you have a restaurant.Copy !req
147. Do you serve Philly cheesesteaks
at the restaurant?Copy !req
148. - Well, where we live, you don't
call it a Philly cheesesteak.Copy !req
149. - Oh, what do you call it?Copy !req
150. - A cheesesteak.
- Oh.Copy !req
151. - That's true.Copy !req
152. - Mama Aquaria,
a little birdie told meCopy !req
153. that you have a history
with one of our judges.Copy !req
154. Actually, we have a photoCopy !req
155. of your meeting
with one of our judges.Copy !req
156. There you are.Copy !req
157. - It's all coming back to me.Copy !req
158. - What was the event
that you were at?Copy !req
159. - Oh, "The Nutcracker."Copy !req
160. - Was your Giovanni
in "The Nutcracker?"Copy !req
161. - Yes, he was
The Nutcracker and—Copy !req
162. - Oh! Giovanni
was The Nutcracker?Copy !req
163. - Yes, he was,Copy !req
164. and he had been cracking nuts
for a number of years.Copy !req
165. - Aquaria, you should be
very proud that you have parentsCopy !req
166. who have supported youCopy !req
167. from being The Nutcracker
to being a nut packer.Copy !req
168. - When we come back,
more with Aquaria.Copy !req
169. - Coming up, get ready for
an epic lip sync smackdownCopy !req
170. for the crown
when the grand finaleCopy !req
171. of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
continues.Copy !req
172. - Hey, RuPaul. I have to say
what an accomplishment,Copy !req
173. and what "Drag Race's" influence
has been on our pop culture.Copy !req
174. It's played such a roleCopy !req
175. in fostering a global message
of inclusionCopy !req
176. and accepting individualsCopy !req
177. for just being
their authentic selves.Copy !req
178. And you and your show
have made that happenCopy !req
179. in a way bigger
than anybody could imagine.Copy !req
180. So congratulations to you all.Copy !req
181. Thank you
for letting us all to seeCopy !req
182. that we're all
just humans in drag.Copy !req
183. - Oh, my God.Copy !req
184. Oprah! We love Oprah!Copy !req
185. Oprah!Copy !req
186. Thank you, Oprah!Copy !req
187. Okay, now we've got
some fan questions.Copy !req
188. Let's go to the audience
and hear what they have to say.Copy !req
189. First up is Jaymes Mansfield.Copy !req
190. - Hi, Aquaria.Copy !req
191. - Hey, shape shifter!Copy !req
192. - Aquaria,
Ari from New York says,Copy !req
193. I loved your Melania
in the Snatch Game.Copy !req
194. How would you
make America great again?Copy !req
195. Like truly great
and not just great for some?Copy !req
196. - Facts are facts, America.Copy !req
197. America's not great
for all right now.Copy !req
198. And for me, I think
creating opportunityCopy !req
199. for people to feel included,Copy !req
200. whether it's within
our own communityCopy !req
201. or the country as a whole,
I think is very important.Copy !req
202. As Melania Trump once said,
"Any hole is a goal."Copy !req
203. And I think that—Copy !req
204. That cannot only apply
to something humorous,Copy !req
205. but also creating opportunity
and filling that opportunity.Copy !req
206. Thank you.Copy !req
207. - So what would it mean to youCopy !req
208. to be crowned America's
next drag superstar?Copy !req
209. - For me, I've been a fan
of this show since it started.Copy !req
210. I remember catching Season 1.Copy !req
211. Especially Nina Flowers, I was
like I don't know what it is,Copy !req
212. but I see something
about me in her.Copy !req
213. Let me be a fan of this
as long as I can.Copy !req
214. And to go from that positionCopy !req
215. to literally
being in the Final FourCopy !req
216. of probably the coolest season
of "Drag Race" ever.Copy !req
217. Facts are facts.Copy !req
218. - And, finally, Aquaria,Copy !req
219. I want to thank you
for giving me my new mantra.Copy !req
220. Any hole is a goal.Copy !req
221. Give it up for Aquaria,
everybody!Copy !req
222. Next, a queen
who's both motherlyCopy !req
223. and one bad ass mama.Copy !req
224. Let's take a look.Copy !req
225. - Texas is back in the house.Copy !req
226. My name is Asia O'Hara.Copy !req
227. I'm known for doing pageants,Copy !req
228. but I'm also
a versatile performer.Copy !req
229. With a "Baywatch" body, even
though she got a hurricane face.Copy !req
230. - Oh, my gosh!Copy !req
231. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
232. - It's about to be
"Asia O'Hara's Drag Race."Copy !req
233. I'm about to own
this whole building!Copy !req
234. - You were one of the most
eye catching on the runway.Copy !req
235. - You betcha!Copy !req
236. - Hi, Asia. How you doing?Copy !req
237. - Good. How are you?Copy !req
238. - So, Asia, who's rooting
for you tonight?Copy !req
239. - Hopefully, the entire world,Copy !req
240. but most importantly—Copy !req
241. But most importantly
my drag daughter KileyCopy !req
242. and my lovely boyfriend
Bret are here.Copy !req
243. - So, Bret, how long
have you and Asia been together?Copy !req
244. - A little over a year.Copy !req
245. - So Mama Ru wants to knowCopy !req
246. what are your intentions
for my child here?Copy !req
247. - We're going to get married.Copy !req
248. - You are gonna get married?Copy !req
249. Does he know about this?Copy !req
250. - Well, he does now.Copy !req
251. - Now, Asia, we've got
some fan questions for you.Copy !req
252. Let's see.
Oh, ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
253. it's Olympian Gus Kenworthy!Copy !req
254. You went to the Olympics!Copy !req
255. - I did.
- Wow!Copy !req
256. - It's like a straighter,Copy !req
257. not as fun sporty version
of "Drag Race."Copy !req
258. Asia, Andre from Birmingham diedCopy !req
259. during your Buttrface
challenge,Copy !req
260. and he wants to know have you
ever been catfished online.Copy !req
261. - Oh, my God.Copy !req
262. - Hoo!Copy !req
263. - No!Copy !req
264. Yes, I have been catfished.Copy !req
265. Unfortunately, people love
to catfish drag queens.Copy !req
266. That is like a sport now.
- Really?Copy !req
267. - And luckily
I didn't bite the bait,Copy !req
268. but, yeah, I have been almost.Copy !req
269. - Well, thank you, Gus.
- Thank you guys.Copy !req
270. - Now, all season you were
lifting your fellow queens up.Copy !req
271. What you gonna do
to tear these bitches down?Copy !req
272. - I'm not looking
at this experienceCopy !req
273. as an opportunity
to tear bitches down.Copy !req
274. I'm looking at it
as an opportunity to showCopy !req
275. that I'm the best person
for what you're trying to do.Copy !req
276. - Ooh, bitch!Copy !req
277. - There we go!Copy !req
278. - Asia, your parents passed away
several years ago.Copy !req
279. And in case they're watching,Copy !req
280. because, you know,
they get VH-1 in heaven,Copy !req
281. what would you say to them?Copy !req
282. - Oh.Copy !req
283. - Asia, we love you!
- Thank you.Copy !req
284. I would say to my mom,Copy !req
285. thank you for being
a symbol of excellenceCopy !req
286. for how people should help
other people down their roads.Copy !req
287. And I would tell my father,Copy !req
288. thank you for being
such a great exampleCopy !req
289. of what type of man I should be.Copy !req
290. Because it was through
dressing up like a womanCopy !req
291. I learned how to be a man.Copy !req
292. - All right.Copy !req
293. - Work! Work! Work!Copy !req
294. - Last but not least,
I have talked to my lawyersCopy !req
295. and I think I owe you an apologyCopy !req
296. for allegedly slapping you
this season.Copy !req
297. - Yes.Copy !req
298. - I would like to offer you
a chance to slap me.Copy !req
299. So go ahead, Asia.
Slap the one personCopy !req
300. who brought you to "Drag Race."Copy !req
301. The one person who stands
between you and $100,000.Copy !req
302. I'm ready.
You can give it to me.Copy !req
303. - Um, maybe I jumped the gun.Copy !req
304. Maybe I should wait
and see how tonight plays out.Copy !req
305. - Okay, sure.Copy !req
306. Asia, all kidding aside,Copy !req
307. thank you for reminding us
that kindness is cool.Copy !req
308. Give it up for Asia O'Hara!Copy !req
309. - Coming up,
our top four queens face offCopy !req
310. in a sudden death lip sync
smackdown for the crown.Copy !req
311. And an extra special saluteCopy !req
312. to a decade of "Drag Race"Copy !req
313. when the grand finale of
"RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.Copy !req
314. - RuPaul, Michelle Visage,Copy !req
315. this is to congratulate you
on your last 10 years.Copy !req
316. It's brilliantly done,Copy !req
317. and all I have to say is
shantay you stay.Copy !req
318. And Finty
has to say to you...Copy !req
319. - Good luck
and don't it up.Copy !req
320. - Wow!Copy !req
321. Welcome back to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."Copy !req
322. And thank you both.Copy !req
323. You know, when I think about it,Copy !req
324. the only queen Dame Judi Dench
hasn't played is me.Copy !req
325. Now, once in a blue moon,
life gives you a second chance,Copy !req
326. and this queen would be the
first to tell you all about it.Copy !req
327. - Like a Phoenix from the ashes,
Eureka is back!Copy !req
328. I got something to prove,Copy !req
329. and I'm here
to slay.Copy !req
330. - Alana was amazing.Copy !req
331. - Your mama. We do drag
to celebrate ourselvesCopy !req
332. in a political climate
where right now,Copy !req
333. none of us feel like
we belong truly.Copy !req
334. - The minute you said,
be yourself to free yourself,Copy !req
335. I was just like...Copy !req
336. I'm the elephant queen!Copy !req
337. What are you gonna be?Copy !req
338. - Oh, my goodness.Copy !req
339. So tell me, Eureka,Copy !req
340. what was it like watching
yourself this season?Copy !req
341. - Honey, the camera definitely
adds 54 pounds.Copy !req
342. - You know.Copy !req
343. - So tell me this.Copy !req
344. Who are you looking forwardCopy !req
345. to lip syncing against tonight?Copy !req
346. - I'm looking forwardCopy !req
347. to lip syncing against
all of them reallyCopy !req
348. if it means I get the crown.
- Okay.Copy !req
349. And what would you do
with $100,000?Copy !req
350. - My mother raised me and my two
sisters as a single motherCopy !req
351. and was put in debt
because of that,Copy !req
352. also with her medical condition.Copy !req
353. So what I would like to do isCopy !req
354. I would like to actually
pay off all of those debtsCopy !req
355. and be able to give my family
a fresh start at life.Copy !req
356. - Well, hello, Mama Eureka
and Monique!Copy !req
357. You're her twin sister?
- Yes.Copy !req
358. - And who's
the more dominant twin?Copy !req
359. - Obviously Eureka.Copy !req
360. - Honestly, being extra
is what makes her so wonderful.Copy !req
361. - Yes.Copy !req
362. - And you are gonna do it.Copy !req
363. - I love you, Mom.Copy !req
364. - Thank you so much.Copy !req
365. Okay, now time for
some fan questions.Copy !req
366. Let's say hello
to Mariah Paris Bolenciaga!Copy !req
367. - All right, Miss Eureka,Copy !req
368. us being two queens
from the south,Copy !req
369. we know we love our snacks.Copy !req
370. We love to savor, devour,Copy !req
371. and then there's just some
to throw away.Copy !req
372. That brings me to my question.Copy !req
373. Wait! Wait!Copy !req
374. That was...Copy !req
375. That was the leadup
to the question?Copy !req
376. - So that brings me
to our question.Copy !req
377. Shag, marry, kill
your top three fellow sisters.Copy !req
378. - I would probably Asia,Copy !req
379. marry Kameron Michaels,
'cause she's quiet.Copy !req
380. I talk a lot. I think
a match made in heaven.Copy !req
381. - Uh-huh.Copy !req
382. - And I would kill Aquaria.
Why not?Copy !req
383. - And finally, Eureka,Copy !req
384. your "Drag Race" experience
has been one wild ride.Copy !req
385. What do you think it all means
sort of metaphysically speaking?Copy !req
386. - I think it meansCopy !req
387. that we don't know the path
that we're designed,Copy !req
388. and we have to follow that path
with our best foot forwardCopy !req
389. and as much positivity and joy
as you can.Copy !req
390. What this path has done for me
is it has taught meCopy !req
391. you have to care for the people
that love you the mostCopy !req
392. instead of worrying about
what society and what mediaCopy !req
393. and what our peers
tells us we have to be.Copy !req
394. We are so much more than that.Copy !req
395. And we are family.Copy !req
396. Treat each other like family.Copy !req
397. - Thank you.
And remember, Eureka,Copy !req
398. you're never too much.
You are everything.Copy !req
399. - Give it up for Eureka!Copy !req
400. - Everything!Copy !req
401. - Next, a silent
but deadly queenCopy !req
402. whose powerhouse lip syncs
took her all the way to the top.Copy !req
403. Take a look.Copy !req
404. - I'm Kameron Michaels,Copy !req
405. and I'm the muscle queen
from Nashville, Tennessee.Copy !req
406. Outside of drag, I am
a tatted muscle dude at the gym.Copy !req
407. And then I tuck it back,
throw on some pads,Copy !req
408. and walk out
looking fishy as.Copy !req
409. I like to think
I'm silent but deadly,Copy !req
410. but maybe I need to be a
little more on the deadly side.Copy !req
411. - You set the bar
very, very high.Copy !req
412. - I did not think
you could lip syncCopy !req
