Copy !req
2. You'll all be starring
Copy !req
3. in Henny,
I Shrunk The Drag Queens!
Copy !req
4. Watch where you're going, lady!
Copy !req
5. I'd help, but you're doing
such a good job.
Copy !req
6. Olivia Lux.
Copy !req
7. You know how to do
that character.
Copy !req
8. The thing is,
we've seen it a lot now.
Copy !req
9. Kandy Muse.
Copy !req
10. You were very sedate,
Copy !req
11. and I think
you can bring us more.
Copy !req
12. - Rosé.
- You were so prepared.
Copy !req
13. You knew every line
inside and out.
Copy !req
14. You're the winner
of this week's challenge.
Copy !req
15. Kandy Muse, shantay you stay.
Copy !req
16. Olivia Lux, sashay away.
Copy !req
17. Yes!
Copy !req
18. - Oh, fucking.
- Wow.
Copy !req
19. Olivia just sashayed away.
Copy !req
20. It's sad as always
to see another sister leave,
Copy !req
21. but it was her time to go.
Copy !req
22. "Believe in yourself
as I believe in you.
Copy !req
23. Your polite diva, Liv."
Copy !req
24. Love you so much, baby.
Copy !req
25. - Love you so much, Olivia.
- Love you so much.
Copy !req
26. Divalicious diva.
Copy !req
27. Olivia has done so much.
Copy !req
28. She's top five
on RuPaul's Drag Race.
Copy !req
29. She's been doing drag
for like a year.
Copy !req
30. That's iconic.
Copy !req
31. I cannot even fathom
Copy !req
32. what she'll be doing
in three years.
Copy !req
33. Congrats, you,
winning the challenge.
Copy !req
34. Thanks. Now I have three wins.
Copy !req
35. And that feels great
heading into,
Copy !req
36. you know, the very end
with three.
Copy !req
37. So what are we at now?
What's the tally?
Copy !req
38. I won the roast.
Copy !req
39. Oh, shit. What did I win?
I won...
Copy !req
40. Just say four.
Copy !req
41. Just four. Just won
all the challenges.
Copy !req
42. Yeah, I won The Ball
and Snatch Game.
Copy !req
43. Just The Ball and Snatch Game.
Copy !req
44. But I've even
more proud than my wins.
Copy !req
45. Like, I didn't lip sync once.
Copy !req
46. I also have never
lip synced for my life.
Copy !req
47. Yes, I've been in the bottom
three times,
Copy !req
48. but, bitch, I don't give
a fuck end of the day.
Copy !req
49. The same way I fought tonight
to be top four,
Copy !req
50. I will fight
to be in the fucking finale.
Copy !req
51. What do you think
is gonna happen?
Copy !req
52. Do you think
we're all gonna make it?
Copy !req
53. I mean, we were gagged
at the beginning,
Copy !req
54. so they might gag us
at the end, diva.
Copy !req
55. It could be
that one of us goes home.
Copy !req
56. It could be
that two of us go home.
Copy !req
57. It could be
that none of us go home.
Copy !req
58. We don't know, but all of us
wanna be in the grand finale.
Copy !req
59. We wanna fucking fight,
we want that goddamn crown,
Copy !req
60. and that's exactly
what we came here to do.
Copy !req
61. Baby, I'm gonna throw
some marbles.
Copy !req
62. Run, baby.
Copy !req
63. I'm not going any fucking where.
Copy !req
64. Like, not a fucking chance.
Copy !req
65. As much as I love these bitches,
Copy !req
66. athletes don't go
to the Olympics
Copy !req
67. to make friendship bracelets.
Copy !req
68. I'm ready to
take these bitches down.
Copy !req
69. Love 'em so much.
Copy !req
70. Hot pockets, come on.
Copy !req
71. Come on, hot pocket.
Ham and cheese.
Copy !req
72. We're about to smell the cheese
once I get outta this.
Copy !req
73. - All right.
- Eew!
Copy !req
74. - That is actually rotted.
- That is disgusting, bitch.
Copy !req
75. I have been through it.
Copy !req
76. The roller coaster
has been real. Aah!
Copy !req
77. There is just nothing
that is gonna get in my way
Copy !req
78. of me and that crown.
Copy !req
79. Okay, but, like, we're top four.
Copy !req
80. - I love that for us.
- Yeah, me, too.
Copy !req
81. I could not be more determined
to stay here,
Copy !req
82. and nothing
is going to stop me now.
Copy !req
83. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
84. - Oh!
- Isn't she cute?
Copy !req
85. - She's a woman!
- Yeah, she's a woman.
Copy !req
86. There's still one more hurdle
to make it to the grand finale.
Copy !req
87. Put this on.
Copy !req
88. I don't even know
what's hotter than fire,
Copy !req
89. but it's up under my ass
to make it there.
Copy !req
90. Because I did not
come past this hurdle
Copy !req
91. to not make it to the next one.
Copy !req
92. So let's play and let's slay.
Copy !req
93. Because it's top four,
mother fuckers.
Copy !req
94. I'm a gay ass bitch,
I'm Joey Jay.
Copy !req
95. The winner ofRuPaul's Drag Race
Copy !req
96. receives a one-year supply
Copy !req
97. of Anastasia Beverly Hills
cosmetics
Copy !req
98. and a cash prize of $100,000.
Copy !req
99. Top four!
Copy !req
100. So it's a new morning.
I'm feeling refreshed,
Copy !req
101. I'm ready for a brand-new week,
Copy !req
102. and I'm ready to slay the rest
of these bitches
Copy !req
103. and win.
Copy !req
104. Baby, there is $100,000
on the line.
Copy !req
105. If y'all win the prize money,
Copy !req
106. what are you y'all gonna do
with the prize money?
Copy !req
107. Invest in my drag.
Copy !req
108. - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
109. It's going
right back into Symone.
Copy !req
110. Just like all the rest of
our fucking money at all times.
Copy !req
111. Yeah, what are you doing?
You're actually surprised.
Copy !req
112. You gonna do
something different?
Copy !req
113. Oh, I was just gonna,
I don't know,
Copy !req
114. like, buy a boat or something.
Copy !req
115. Where you going, bitch?
Copy !req
116. Yeah. What?
Copy !req
117. Well, I want a boat because...
Copy !req
118. I just want a boat.
Copy !req
119. Ooh, girl!
Copy !req
120. She done already
done had herses!
Copy !req
121. My top queens.
Copy !req
122. Throughout this competition,
Copy !req
123. when they went low,
you went high.
Copy !req
124. - You right.
- And now is your chance
Copy !req
125. to leave an indelible mark
on this competition.
Copy !req
126. Now, between
us squirrel friends,
Copy !req
127. whenever I leave
an indelible mark,
Copy !req
128. I just sneak out the back door
and blame it on the dog.
Copy !req
129. Okay, Ru.
Copy !req
130. - Indelible.
- Indelible.
Copy !req
131. I don't know what that means.
Copy !req
132. Hello, hello, hello.
Copy !req
133. Yes, yellow.
Copy !req
134. Yellurr.
Copy !req
135. My queens, you've made it
to the top four
Copy !req
136. of RuPaul's Drag Race!
Copy !req
137. Now, this week
is your last chance to prove
Copy !req
138. you've got the charisma,
uniqueness, nerve, and talent
Copy !req
139. to make it to the grand finale
of Season 13.
Copy !req
140. Wow.
Copy !req
141. - Just one question remains.
- Uh-oh.
Copy !req
142. Do you feel lucky?
Copy !req
143. - I do!
- Oh, baby, I feel very lucky.
Copy !req
144. I hope so, because
for this week's maxi-challenge,
Copy !req
145. you'll be performing
the world premiere
Copy !req
146. of my new song
Copy !req
147. Lucky.
Copy !req
148. Now, each of you
will be singing and dancing
Copy !req
149. to your own original verse.
Copy !req
150. - Oh!
- Werk, bitch.
Copy !req
151. And soon, you lucky bitches
Copy !req
152. will be working with
the mega-talented Jamal Sims.
Copy !req
153. Yes!
Copy !req
154. I love Jamal!
Copy !req
155. I'm ready to choreograph
my whole life now,
Copy !req
156. as long as Jamal's here.
Copy !req
157. Like, America's
gonna think I'm psycho
Copy !req
158. because I'm obsessed with Jamal,
but I'm obsessed with Jamal.
Copy !req
159. For your Luckylooks,
Copy !req
160. Last but not least,
Copy !req
161. each of you will be my guest
on Inside Drag Race,
Copy !req
162. an intimate conversation
with me, Michelle Visage,
Copy !req
163. and a bowl
of 13-year-old TicTacs.
Copy !req
164. Mmm.
Copy !req
165. Ladykins, this is not the moment
to hold anything back.
Copy !req
166. And if you're lucky,
in two weeks,
Copy !req
167. you could be the one queen
crowned
Copy !req
168. America's next drag superstar.
Copy !req
169. Mm!
Copy !req
170. I love it. Yeah!
Copy !req
171. This is our last chance
to literally show the judges
Copy !req
172. that we deserve
to be in the finale,
Copy !req
173. and, girl, am I gonna show them
Copy !req
174. that I deserve to be
in that fucking finale.
Copy !req
175. Racers, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.
Copy !req
176. So for this challenge
Copy !req
177. we have to come up with
our own original lyrics,
Copy !req
178. and talk about why we're lucky
to be in the top four,
Copy !req
179. and kind of, you know,
brag on the girls.
Copy !req
180. Rosé, why are you wearing that?
Copy !req
181. Because over here,
we're dressing in metallics.
Copy !req
182. Silver and gold, a foreshadow,
if you will, my angel.
Copy !req
183. Oh, yeah, the top two,
Copy !req
184. and then the two
that are gonna go home next.
Copy !req
185. I'm so excited
Copy !req
186. because it's a performance-based
song and dance challenge,
Copy !req
187. and I'm a song and dance
kind of girl.
Copy !req
188. Let's see yours.
Oh, my God, your handwriting
Copy !req
189. looks like Declarations
of Independence.
Copy !req
190. John Hancock, mama.
Copy !req
191. Oh, baby, putting the cock
in the hand, okay?
Copy !req
192. Wait, so you're singing
this whole thing?
Copy !req
193. Like, at the end, I might spin
a little baby rap moment
Copy !req
194. just because
I haven't done that yet.
Copy !req
195. Oh, she's a rapstress.
Copy !req
196. You know, I actually...
I do rap sometimes.
Copy !req
197. I've never heard you do that
back in New York.
Copy !req
198. Well, you're gonna
discover that I can rap.
Copy !req
199. When the coronavirus hit
and all of the bars closed down,
Copy !req
200. one way that I, like,
turned a quick buck
Copy !req
201. was I would go on social media,
Copy !req
202. and I'd be like, "Send me
X amount of dollars,
Copy !req
203. I will write you
a personalized rap."
Copy !req
204. And, bitch,
people went wild for it.
Copy !req
205. So I'm a self-employed
social media rap star.
Copy !req
206. Is anybody singing?
Copy !req
207. I'm fully gonna go in
and, like, singing,
Copy !req
208. like, doing the words in,
like, a funny way to the beat.
Copy !req
209. I'm not singing anything.
Copy !req
210. I feel like I have been
a little bit cunty
Copy !req
211. throughout the season,
if you will.
Copy !req
212. And so I really want to do
Copy !req
213. kind of more
of a "love yourself" vibe.
Copy !req
214. It's, like, so different for me
Copy !req
215. to just be, like, "la-la-la,
rainbows, and I loves it,"
Copy !req
216. but that's how
I fucking feel right now!
Copy !req
217. It's, like, yes!
Copy !req
218. And I feel, like,
write that down!
Copy !req
219. I just feel so happy and proud
of where I am right now.
Copy !req
220. Everything that's
coming out of my brain
Copy !req
221. is just so happy and cutesy.
Copy !req
222. I started writing one that
was, like, a little too nice.
Copy !req
223. Like, love yourself,
like, blah, blah, blah.
Copy !req
224. And I was like, all right,
let's reel it back a little bit.
Copy !req
225. - Baby, it's a brag track.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
226. It's the top four.
We gotta lay it out.
Copy !req
227. - Be a little cunt-alina.
- Cunt-alina.
Copy !req
228. Okay, maybe we calm it down.
Copy !req
229. Like, we're not trying
to solve world peace here, gorg.
Copy !req
230. I will say, though,
I am a little bit nervous,
Copy !req
231. because I don't know
if y'all realize,
Copy !req
232. but every single time we had a
fucking group live performance,
Copy !req
233. I was in the bottom two.
Copy !req
234. And I'll be damned if
I'm gonna be in the bottom two
Copy !req
235. one more fucking time
in the finale.
Copy !req
236. Baby, what are you
gonna do different?
Copy !req
237. I'm noticing a pattern here,
my love.
Copy !req
238. Kandy has suffered
and been in the bottom
Copy !req
239. for challenges like this.
Copy !req
240. I can see things
going south for her.
Copy !req
241. Coming up...
Copy !req
242. At first
I'm a little hard-headed,
Copy !req
243. but, like, I'm also
fucking delusional.
Copy !req
244. The shyness thing,
it ends up being an excuse
Copy !req
245. for you to not really
spread your wings.
Copy !req
246. Do you have what it takes
to thwart that off?
Copy !req
247. Well, this is our version
of The Actors Studio.
Copy !req
248. Yeah, of course.
Copy !req
249. - And Gottmik is here.
- Oh, hello!
Copy !req
250. It's time to have my talk
with Ru and Michelle,
Copy !req
251. and I am so excited.
Copy !req
252. - Always so stylish.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
253. Even as a kid,
were you stylish as a kid?
Copy !req
254. Not the most.
Copy !req
255. Since I was in Catholic school
my whole life,
Copy !req
256. I was just uniformed
out of my mind,
Copy !req
257. and I never
even thought about it.
Copy !req
258. Where'd you go to high school,
in Phoenix?
Copy !req
259. Yes, yeah, no, I...
Copy !req
260. - Yes, yes, no?
- Yes, yes, and no, okay?
Copy !req
261. So when did
the transition start?
Copy !req
262. - Like, three years ago now.
- Wow.
Copy !req
263. Yeah, and then I got
my top surgery one year ago,
Copy !req
264. like, last month.
Copy !req
265. We're twins.
Copy !req
266. I know!
Oh, what a fun year for us.
Copy !req
267. Tell me about Gottmik,
the name Gottmik.
Copy !req
268. What's the significance?
How did you come to that name?
Copy !req
269. It is my... the first part
of my old first name
Copy !req
270. and then the first part
of my last name,
Copy !req
271. and then I switched it.
Copy !req
272. That sounds like math, but...
Copy !req
273. So you took Mik and Gott,
from Gottlieb.
Copy !req
274. - Okay.
- And just put Gottmik.
Copy !req
275. - And now I go by Kade.
- Okay.
Copy !req
276. I love it.
It's a porn star name.
Copy !req
277. - It is.
- That's where I got it.
Copy !req
278. - You got it from a porn star?
- It was a porn star name.
Copy !req
279. Oh, my God,
you're clocking me on TV.
Copy !req
280. Did you think that you,
baby Gottmik...
Copy !req
281. - Baby Gott Mik.
- Baby Gott Mik.
Copy !req
282. Did you just come up with that?
Copy !req
283. I did. Thank you.
Copy !req
284. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
285. My new single
available on iTunes.
Copy !req
286. Baby Gottmik,
you got here to the final.
Copy !req
287. I know. I'm just so happy.
Copy !req
288. Have you surprised yourself
in this competition?
Copy !req
289. Unbelievably so.
Copy !req
290. I just learned that I'm so
much more than this physical,
Copy !req
291. like, crr-crr,
like, gorgeous face thing.
Copy !req
292. And now coming in here, I don't
even think about that really.
Copy !req
293. That was your thing that
you had to break through.
Copy !req
294. You're not a seasoned performer,
you're a visual artist.
Copy !req
295. Looking back
at all the challenges,
Copy !req
296. I can see where things
started clicking for me, too.
Copy !req
297. And you have come so far
by just trusting who you are.
Copy !req
298. Your brand of intellect
Copy !req
299. allows you to actually
describe your sense of humor.
Copy !req
300. Even the outfit you had on
last week with the watches,
Copy !req
301. it was so satisfying,
that entree into your psyche.
Copy !req
302. I'm charmed by you,
and that tickles me.
Copy !req
303. You're not only a pioneer,
but you have this...
Copy !req
304. What's that French term?
Copy !req
305. Joie de vivre.
Copy !req
306. - What is it?
- Joie de vivre.
Copy !req
307. That thing, that thing
she's talking about.
Copy !req
308. There's this freedom about you
that is infectious,
Copy !req
309. and there's an ointment
to clear that up, too.
Copy !req
310. I'm just having
so much fun being here.
Copy !req
311. Everyone's like,
"I'm so excited to be home."
Copy !req
312. I'm like, "Not me!"
Copy !req
313. I'm gonna move
into the werkroom!
Copy !req
314. I'm literally
gonna be in the corner
Copy !req
315. and I'm gonna be like,
"Oh, new girls."
Copy !req
316. I'll be behind the fabric wall.
Copy !req
317. Squatting?
Copy !req
318. This interview is just magic,
Copy !req
319. and I'm laughing, she's
laughing, Michelle's laughing.
Copy !req
320. It just couldn't
get better than that.
Copy !req
321. Well, thank you so much,
Gottmik.
Copy !req
322. You are lovely,
and we've got some TicTacs
Copy !req
323. on the side of the stage
for you.
Copy !req
324. Thank you, I'm starving.
Copy !req
325. Perfect.
Copy !req
326. Oh, it's the glowing TicTac orb.
Copy !req
327. - Good job, sweetheart.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
328. Thank you, bye!
Copy !req
329. - Bye-ee!
- Bye-ee!
Copy !req
330. You never want that to end ever.
Copy !req
331. I'm so sad that I'm even
walking off the stage right now.
Copy !req
332. But I am on cloud nine,
and no one can bring me down.
Copy !req
333. Come on down, Rosé.
Copy !req
334. - Hi!
- Hi, Rosé!
Copy !req
335. Here we are at the final four.
Copy !req
336. The final four.
I can't believe it.
Copy !req
337. I can believe it,
but pinch me, you know?
Copy !req
338. You got the theater bug
very early.
Copy !req
339. What was that moment
when that spark ignited?
Copy !req
340. The first time
I was ever really onstage,
Copy !req
341. I was about six years old.
Copy !req
342. It was the Christmas pageant,
Copy !req
343. and I got the big
Deck the Hallssolo.
Copy !req
344. Were you here, or were you
still in Scotland?
Copy !req
345. I was in Scotland.
Copy !req
346. Have your parents seen Rosé?
Copy !req
347. Oh, many times.
Copy !req
348. Oh, they live,
they live for Rosé.
Copy !req
349. And are they here in America?
Copy !req
350. Mm-hmm, they're in Houston.
Copy !req
351. Oh, in Houston.
Copy !req
352. That's where,
when we moved to America,
Copy !req
353. that's where we moved to,
to Texas.
Copy !req
354. You're kind of new to drag,
aren't you?
Copy !req
355. Yeah, I'm three years.
Copy !req
356. That's pretty new, considering.
Copy !req
357. And you're a theater person.
Copy !req
358. You've been singing,
dancing, acting.
Copy !req
359. - Forever, yeah.
- All these years, yeah.
Copy !req
360. What made you then go, huh,
I'm missing something?
Copy !req
361. Well, I was in New York,
Copy !req
362. and I was auditioning
and I was working,
Copy !req
363. and I just didn't feel
inspired anymore.
Copy !req
364. I felt like the industry
was trying to put me into boxes
Copy !req
365. that I didn't feel
like I belonged in.
Copy !req
366. So there's a freedom in drag
that I didn't feel in theater.
Copy !req
367. When I allowed myself
to start playing in drag,
Copy !req
368. I realized that
I'm way, way more queer
Copy !req
369. than I'd ever imagined.
Copy !req
370. And whenever I'm in drag,
Copy !req
371. I'm doing everything that
I've always done on stage
Copy !req
372. in any role.
Copy !req
373. It's just I'm... I'm Rosé.
Copy !req
374. There's a sort of perfectionist
part of your personality.
Copy !req
375. How has that changed?
Copy !req
376. I think I've loosened it up
a little bit.
Copy !req
377. There comes a point
where you have to let go.
Copy !req
378. Being in the moment
and finding your joy,
Copy !req
379. which emanates from within,
is life's sweet spot.
Copy !req
380. That's the goal.
Copy !req
381. What's your ultimate
show biz dreams?
Copy !req
382. I still would love
to be on Broadway as Rosé.
Copy !req
383. And I would love...
One of my biggest dreams
Copy !req
384. would be for me and my girl
group to be on the radio.
Copy !req
385. We're talking about
Stephanie's Child.
Copy !req
386. Stephanie's Child, baby!
Yes, werk.
Copy !req
387. What do you think
they are going to say
Copy !req
388. about your appearance
here in this competition?
Copy !req
389. And the fact that
you got further than Jan?
Copy !req
390. Are you competitive that way?
Copy !req
391. We are, but we're
more so supportive.
Copy !req
392. - Great.
- And Jan, uh...
Copy !req
393. yeah, I think Jan's
gonna be really proud of me.
Copy !req
394. Well, listen,
we're doing this competition
Copy !req
395. in the time of the coronavirus.
Copy !req
396. And I just wanna thank you
for participating
Copy !req
397. at a time when the world
is upside-down.
Copy !req
398. Thank you also
for sacrificing your life.
Copy !req
399. Listen, there's very few things
I would do that for,
Copy !req
400. but coming here
was definitely one of them.
Copy !req
401. - Thank you, Rosé.
- Thank you, darling.
Copy !req
402. - Thank you so much.
- Yeah, cheers.
Copy !req
403. - Cheers.
- Congrats.
Copy !req
404. It's nice to have
a more relaxed conversation
Copy !req
405. with Ru and Michelle
about my time here,
Copy !req
406. and I know that they've really
seen my growth and my journey,
Copy !req
407. which is really nice.
Copy !req
408. Hi, Kandy.
Copy !req
409. Hey, Kandy girl!
Copy !req
410. Michelle, do you have
any room for a little Kandy?
Copy !req
411. I got a sweet tooth.
Copy !req
412. Ooh, always.
Copy !req
413. Why did you choose
the name Kandy?
Copy !req
414. With a "K."
Copy !req
415. Well, I was watching
an Andy Warhol documentary.
Copy !req
416. It was on the life
of Candy Darling,
Copy !req
417. who was his beautiful muse.
Copy !req
418. And I wanted to be
gorgeous like her,
Copy !req
419. so I was like, oh, Candy.
Copy !req
420. And then my boy name is Kevin,
Copy !req
421. so Kevin with a "K,"
Kandy with a "K."
Copy !req
422. Most people think it's for
Kardashian, but mm, no, no, no.
Copy !req
423. - Oh, wonderful.
- No.
Copy !req
424. You lip synced
for your life last week.
Copy !req
425. - Literally.
- You had a panic attack,
Copy !req
426. you had high blood pressure,
you had some asthma,
Copy !req
427. and you probably had
a little bit of the Zika.
Copy !req
428. Not the Zika!
Copy !req
429. I think it was when I put
that pockets look on,
Copy !req
430. I knew I was, like,
baby, they gonna read me.
Copy !req
431. And I asked the girls backstage,
those shady fucking bitches,
Copy !req
432. I asked the girls,
I said, "Does this look good?
Copy !req
433. Do not lie to me."
Copy !req
434. All them bitches looked at me
Copy !req
435. and said,
"You look fabulous, bitch."
Copy !req
436. - No, they didn't.
- I swear to God.
Copy !req
437. Roll back the fucking tapes.
Copy !req
438. But I didn't feel my best.
Copy !req
439. What was the concept, boo?
Copy !req
440. Baby, your guess
is as good as mine.
Copy !req
441. How have you changed since
you entered this competition?
Copy !req
442. I walked in here thinking that
I have to be a badass bitch
Copy !req
443. and show the girls
how I'm the best.
Copy !req
444. I was ready to fight
every bitch up in here.
Copy !req
445. And now I'm just, like,
I'm a little, like, Care Bear.
Copy !req
446. I'm like, someone please hug me.
Copy !req
447. Are you surprised
you're sitting in that chair?
Copy !req
448. I'm not gonna sit here
and lie to you
Copy !req
449. and say, oh,
I'm so shocked to be...
Copy !req
450. No, I earned my spot
in the top four.
Copy !req
451. Have any of the critiques
from the judges
Copy !req
452. struck a chord with you
in particular?
Copy !req
453. At first,
I'm a little hard-headed.
Copy !req
454. I'm like, well, bitch,
I know better than you.
Copy !req
455. But, like, I'm also
fucking delusional.
Copy !req
456. But, like, you know,
it's a journey and a half.
Copy !req
457. But I'm taking it all in, and
I'm really trying to apply it.
Copy !req
458. Before here, everyone
would make fun of my lisp,
Copy !req
459. my gap, my weight,
just the way I talk.
Copy !req
460. And everything that
I've been made fun of,
Copy !req
461. it's been celebrated here.
Copy !req
462. I think from there is where
I'm like, okay, I can do this.
Copy !req
463. - We love that.
- That's it.
Copy !req
464. That's the key right there.
Copy !req
465. You got it, kiddo.
Copy !req
466. Do you have any questions for us
before we wrap it up?
Copy !req
467. Did you really hate
that pockets look that much?
Copy !req
468. - Girl.
- You know what?
Copy !req
469. It was... it was almost
bad enough to be good again.
Copy !req
470. That's exactly
what I was going for.
Copy !req
471. You are such a liar.
Copy !req
472. Such a liar.
Copy !req
473. You are a very, very
special queen,
Copy !req
474. and I am so excited to see
what the world has for you.
Copy !req
475. If Ru thinks I'm special,
Copy !req
476. and the gag is not a lot of
girls hear that from Ru, okay,
Copy !req
477. that has just fueled my fire,
Copy !req
478. and I am ready to fight
with every fucking inch of me.
Copy !req
479. - Thank you, Kandy.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
480. - Bye-ee.
- Bye-ee.
Copy !req
481. Come on up here, Symone.
Copy !req
482. How are y'all doing?
Copy !req
483. What do you use on your skin
Copy !req
484. that makes it so sheeny-shiny
and delicious?
Copy !req
485. Just baby oil.
Copy !req
486. I hate you.
Copy !req
487. Okay, so you're
in the House of Avalon.
Copy !req
488. How did you hook up with them?
Copy !req
489. I was doing drag
before I met them,
Copy !req
490. and I did a competition
in Arkansas called Fresh Fish.
Copy !req
491. And one of the house members,
Copy !req
492. he was one of the judges
on the panel.
Copy !req
493. That's when I first met them,
and I knew at a very young age
Copy !req
494. I was not gonna live
the rest of my life in Arkansas.
Copy !req
495. And I had to figure out
how I was gonna get out,
Copy !req
496. and they helped me in drag,
with queer culture,
Copy !req
497. all these things
I didn't even really know
Copy !req
498. because I didn't... I wasn't
surrounded by it as a kid.
Copy !req
499. The House of Avalon
was from Little Rock,
Copy !req
500. and they all moved to L.A.?
Copy !req
501. - Moved here, mm-hmm.
- Everybody?
Copy !req
502. Everybody, yep.
Copy !req
503. Moving to L.A. was hard,
Copy !req
504. and I didn't realize
how hard it would be.
Copy !req
505. I had to change
a lot about myself.
Copy !req
506. When I see your brilliance,
Copy !req
507. I immediately think, oh, God,
Copy !req
508. I wonder how deep
the saboteur is?
Copy !req
509. Do you have what it takes
to thwart that off?
Copy !req
510. I think so, especially coming
through all of this, I had to.
Copy !req
511. I'm very shy,
and people would look at me
Copy !req
512. like I don't understand
where it comes from.
Copy !req
513. You have everything,
you have a sense of style,
Copy !req
514. you know how everything's
supposed to look.
Copy !req
515. What is it
that makes you so shy?
Copy !req
516. And kind of woke me up,
and being, like,
Copy !req
517. if you wanna be a star, you're
gonna have to act like it.
Copy !req
518. It's a journey.
It's a work in process.
Copy !req
519. Tell us, tell us what
you think we feel about you.
Copy !req
520. I think you guys
think I am fierce,
Copy !req
521. and that every time
I round the corner
Copy !req
522. I just feel the energy
from the judges' panel,
Copy !req
523. and so she comes on.
Copy !req
524. And sometimes
I can't look at y'all
Copy !req
525. because if I do,
I'll break character.
Copy !req
526. So...
Copy !req
527. Yeah, when you
walk out on stage,
Copy !req
528. that character,
for lack of a better term,
Copy !req
529. when did that develop?
Copy !req
530. - Oh, man.
- You know, that girl.
Copy !req
531. - That girl.
- Symone.
Copy !req
532. As soon as I started doing drag.
Copy !req
533. Because to me, Symone is the me
Copy !req
534. I didn't allow myself
to be as a kid.
Copy !req
535. Symone helps Reggie
Copy !req
536. not be so in his head
all the time.
Copy !req
537. She is the confidence,
she's the essence,
Copy !req
538. the je ne sais quois.
Copy !req
539. The shyness thing, it ends up
being a crutch and an excuse
Copy !req
540. for you to not really
spread your wings.
Copy !req
541. Wow. That's not how my...
I never thought of it like that.
Copy !req
542. Let me give you another one,
blow your mother fucking mind.
Copy !req
543. Do it, do it, boo!
Copy !req
544. The power that you have in drag,
Copy !req
545. it's available to you
when you're not in drag.
Copy !req
546. You are Symone.
Copy !req
547. - I'm Symone.
- All right, Symone.
Copy !req
548. You wanna fix yourself a plate?
You hungry?
Copy !req
549. I would love
to fix myself a plate.
Copy !req
550. - You hungry? Yes.
- I'm hungry, yeah.
Copy !req
551. Yeah, well, we got some
13-year-old TicTacs over there.
Copy !req
552. Just for you.
Copy !req
553. And I'm gonna take
all 13 years of them.
Copy !req
554. Hearing that analysis
of what that really is,
Copy !req
555. it's basically saying
you're in your own way
Copy !req
556. about making it
to the finish line.
Copy !req
557. Because, baby, it's not
that you lack anything.
Copy !req
558. It's that you're not
allowing yourself to shine.
Copy !req
559. Coming up...
Copy !req
560. And five, six,
seven, eight, pop it.
Copy !req
561. Uh-huh, and two, pop it.
Copy !req
562. - One, two...
- Ooh!
Copy !req
563. No, girl, you not moving on.
Copy !req
564. Aah!
Copy !req
565. What's up, ladies?
Copy !req
566. - Jamal!
- Jamal!
Copy !req
567. It's time for us
to learn the choreography
Copy !req
568. for Lucky.
Copy !req
569. The last time we worked
with Jamal was the Rusical,
Copy !req
570. so he knows what he wants us
to improve upon
Copy !req
571. and deliver
for this final challenge.
Copy !req
572. This is a critical moment
in the competition,
Copy !req
573. and I really want
each individual to shine.
Copy !req
574. I wanna bring out what you guys
Copy !req
575. have maybe not
have been bringing out
Copy !req
576. in the other challenges.
Copy !req
577. This will be the hardest I've
been on you the whole season.
Copy !req
578. It's really critical
that you guys nail this,
Copy !req
579. and it's gotta be great.
Copy !req
580. Symone, we're gonna start
with you.
Copy !req
581. Okay. Going into it,
Copy !req
582. I am, like, okay, you know
you have three left feet,
Copy !req
583. so rather than
trying to feel like
Copy !req
584. you need to be a dancer
on a tour, have fun with it.
Copy !req
585. This part is sex on a platter.
Copy !req
586. One, two, three, four,
Copy !req
587. five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
588. - Oh.
- All right?
Copy !req
589. So let's see that.
Copy !req
590. One, two, three, four,
Copy !req
591. five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
592. - One, two... uh-oh.
- Ooh!
Copy !req
593. - Not sexy. All right?
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
594. If somebody
were sitting in there,
Copy !req
595. how would you make love
to that chair?
Copy !req
596. I would go...
Copy !req
597. That's what I'm looking for.
Copy !req
598. - Okay.
- Don't think about the count.
Copy !req
599. It should be this is fun,
this is frilly.
Copy !req
600. - It's flirty fun.
- This is sexy.
Copy !req
601. Again, one, two, three, four,
Copy !req
602. five, six, seven, eight, one.
Copy !req
603. - Mm.
- I love that.
Copy !req
604. The counts were wrong,
Copy !req
605. but the attitude
is starting to get there.
Copy !req
606. Like RuPaul said earlier,
Copy !req
607. the power that's
available to me in drag
Copy !req
608. is just the same that's
available to me outta drag.
Copy !req
609. And so I literally just
need to tap into that.
Copy !req
610. Gottmik, what I realized
working with you was
Copy !req
611. that you're not a counter.
Copy !req
612. A lot of performers who aren't
dancers connect to lyrics.
Copy !req
613. That's what I want you
to focus on.
Copy !req
614. I want you
to focus on the lyrics.
Copy !req
615. Don't worry about
the one, two, three, four.
Copy !req
616. Worry about selling
the lyrics, okay?
Copy !req
617. So that's what
we're gonna work on today.
Copy !req
618. Oh, I fucking love you!
Copy !req
619. Yeah? All right!
We're gonna pop two times.
Copy !req
620. Pop, pop.
Copy !req
621. Mama Ru said
we're all born naked.
Copy !req
622. Pop, pop.
Copy !req
623. Yeah, pop, pop.
Copy !req
624. Pop, pop. I'm like, ooh, child!
Copy !req
625. Look at this little white boy
up in there.
Copy !req
626. We know what
we have to work on? Yeah?
Copy !req
627. Listening to the words
and killing it.
Copy !req
628. Don't second guess it,
just go with it.
Copy !req
629. Okay, werk.
Copy !req
630. With Jamal's help,
Copy !req
631. I'm gonna have this down
gorgeously.
Copy !req
632. Maybe just not yet.
Copy !req
633. Kandy Muse is up next!
Copy !req
634. The first thing we're gonna do
is we're gonna go one, pop,
Copy !req
635. and you're gonna go
pop, pop, puss, woomp, pop.
Copy !req
636. - Ooh!
- And woomp, pop.
Copy !req
637. I want you to tap it,
just pat it.
Copy !req
638. - All right.
- All right?
Copy !req
639. I can't hit it too hard, baby.
Copy !req
640. Yeah, and then from here,
one and two,
Copy !req
641. hold three, four,
Copy !req
642. five, six, seven, eight,
and it goes back, all right?
Copy !req
643. Let's see that. One, pop it.
Copy !req
644. Uh-huh, and two, pop it,
Copy !req
645. uh, boom, ga-ga-ha,
ya, ya, ya, ya.
Copy !req
646. All right?
Copy !req
647. I have to figure out where
you said back like that,
Copy !req
648. but, yeah.
Copy !req
649. Find that little middle ground
where it's still sexy.
Copy !req
650. - Right, not only... yes.
- You understand?
Copy !req
651. I want it to be raw,
but we're going to harness it.
Copy !req
652. Give me precise moves.
Copy !req
653. The last time Jamal saw me,
Copy !req
654. I was in the bottom two
fighting for my life.
Copy !req
655. So I really need to make sure
that everything I'm doing
Copy !req
656. doesn't look like I'm at a club
Copy !req
657. flopping around
like a fucking fish.
Copy !req
658. - Rosé.
- Hi.
Copy !req
659. You're gonna go
one, two, three, four,
Copy !req
660. five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
661. It's very Dreamgirls.
Copy !req
662. One, two, three, four,
and five, six, seven, eight.
Copy !req
663. - Ooh!
- Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
664. - I felt that.
- I did, too.
Copy !req
665. Rosé, that fucking bitch.
Copy !req
666. She can literally see the step,
and she picks it up.
Copy !req
667. I don't understand it.
Copy !req
668. It's a gift. I wish I had it.
Copy !req
669. All right, now we're
going into the rap,
Copy !req
670. and I need you
to go wap, wap, wap.
Copy !req
671. So, yeah, so watch this.
Copy !req
672. - This is gonna be a challenge.
- Shit.
Copy !req
673. Jamal wants me
to kind of break it down,
Copy !req
674. So I'm gonna
have to work on that.
Copy !req
675. It's lower body,
lower body, lower body,
Copy !req
676. and it's attitude, woomp, woomp.
Copy !req
677. It's not a step.
Copy !req
678. It's not
a one, two, three, four.
Copy !req
679. It's a swag, uh.
Copy !req
680. It's really, really important
that you bring the realness,
Copy !req
681. and it's not so perfect.
Copy !req
682. I don't want you to be perfect.
Copy !req
683. You know,
I want you to loosen up
Copy !req
684. and really deliver
a real performance,
Copy !req
685. you know what I mean?
Copy !req
686. - All right.
- Rosé is a perfectionist,
Copy !req
687. and I think that the judges have
seen that the entire season.
Copy !req
688. But I think for the finale,
they wanted her to loosen it up.
Copy !req
689. But she's not delivering,
and there's a possibility
Copy !req
690. that one girl
fucked up a tiny bit,
Copy !req
691. and Ru could be like, mm,
no, girl, you not moving on.
Copy !req
692. Coming up...
Copy !req
693. What was y'all first
impressions of each other?
Copy !req
694. Rosé, well, I just thought
you were a shy little angel,
Copy !req
695. which is so fucking weird now.
Copy !req
696. I love these girls so much.
Copy !req
697. But one of us has to go home.
Copy !req
698. It is not going to be me.
Copy !req
699. Aah! Y'all, today's the day!
Copy !req
700. We are doing
the Luckyperformance.
Copy !req
701. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
702. And I am ready to fight
and make it to the grand finale.
Copy !req
703. Because, bitch, I'm trying to be
America's next drag superstar.
Copy !req
704. Our last runway
getting ready moment.
Copy !req
705. Oh, my goodness gracious.
Copy !req
706. Yes!
Copy !req
707. Ooh, I love you so much.
Copy !req
708. I love you more.
This is so exciting.
Copy !req
709. It's a bittersweet moment.
Copy !req
710. It's so fabulous, but it's also,
like, man, this is it.
Copy !req
711. This is our last time
to be in front of the judges.
Copy !req
712. This is the last time
I'm gonna do a challenge.
Copy !req
713. - We're here at the end.
- At the end, girl.
Copy !req
714. Mik, this wig needs
to not make it anywhere.
Copy !req
715. Keep this away from me.
Copy !req
716. I don't know how
it keeps running away.
Copy !req
717. - Did you bring that?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
718. What did you bring that for?
What was your intention?
Copy !req
719. You never know.
Copy !req
720. You never know.
Copy !req
721. It's RuPaul's Drag Race
Season 13.
Copy !req
722. What's happening
on the side here?
Copy !req
723. Is that supposed to be a fade?
Copy !req
724. There's lace
around the sideburns.
Copy !req
725. That is everything.
Copy !req
726. - Oh, wow.
- That's artistry!
Copy !req
727. I'm sad.
I wanna stay here forever.
Copy !req
728. More runways!
Copy !req
729. Mik fully wants,
like, 75 more episodes.
Copy !req
730. - I know.
- I love these girls so much.
Copy !req
731. But if one of us has to go home,
Copy !req
732. it is not going to be me.
Copy !req
733. Y'all, I freaking love
this new song
Copy !req
734. that we are about to go
and fucking do the video for.
Copy !req
735. - I know.
- It is so cute.
Copy !req
736. Baby, I'm so excited for today.
Copy !req
737. My verse is lit,
I sound awesome,
Copy !req
738. and I'm also ready as fuck.
Copy !req
739. So, y'all, what was y'all's
first impressions of each other?
Copy !req
740. Rosé, well, I just thought
you were a shy little angel,
Copy !req
741. which is so fucking weird now.
Copy !req
742. Yeah, I didn't really know
you were hilarious.
Copy !req
743. Like, you literally told us
you were a comedy queen,
Copy !req
744. and I was confused.
Copy !req
745. I'm not gonna lie.
Copy !req
746. I did not care at first
when I first met you.
Copy !req
747. I was, like, oh, well,
another one, and I did not...
Copy !req
748. Another one!
Copy !req
749. Another pretty chicken,
as Miss Kandy likes to say.
Copy !req
750. A bland piece of chicken,
Perdue, ain't no seasoning.
Copy !req
751. You know, she had no salt,
no damn pepper,
Copy !req
752. no garlic,
no nothin' on her ass.
Copy !req
753. Getting to know you,
you are funny, bitch,
Copy !req
754. and you're just...
You're a star, and I love it.
Copy !req
755. It's been a complete 180
in my opinion of you.
Copy !req
756. She is just a powerhouse,
and I'm so happy
Copy !req
757. that she finally let down those
walls and allowed us to see it.
Copy !req
758. Because I don't like
uncooked chicken.
Copy !req
759. And Kandy, I was, like,
Copy !req
760. oh, we got
the loud girl this season.
Copy !req
761. Okay, we'll see.
Copy !req
762. People usually have a
preconceived notion of who I am
Copy !req
763. and what I bring to the table
before I walk into the room.
Copy !req
764. You know, being the Kandy Muse,
everyone knows who she is.
Copy !req
765. No, I'm kidding.
Copy !req
766. But honestly, to see you
be so sensitive
Copy !req
767. and owning your stardom
Copy !req
768. and everything about you
is inspiring, it really is.
Copy !req
769. I love you, gal.
Copy !req
770. Oh, I love you, too!
Copy !req
771. I'm your sister for sure.
Copy !req
772. It's interesting,
because coming here,
Copy !req
773. I didn't think I was gonna
make any, like, close friends.
Copy !req
774. But, like, y'all
are like my good Judys,
Copy !req
775. my little besties, my best
friends from this point on.
Copy !req
776. Tea.
Copy !req
777. Y'all, this is so special.
Copy !req
778. I know, it really is.
Copy !req
779. I can see how much
we have all grown.
Copy !req
780. Like, our growing journeys here,
they've all been so crazy.
Copy !req
781. - Yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
782. Before this competition,
my friends were all like,
Copy !req
783. "If you ever got on Drag Race
Copy !req
784. "and you have to do
any type of comedy,
Copy !req
785. I don't know
what you're gonna do."
Copy !req
786. Really?
Copy !req
787. Yeah, they were like,
"You have to sing or something."
Copy !req
788. And I was like, "You're right,
I can't do it!"
Copy !req
789. Like, so scared.
Copy !req
790. - Why?
- And then now I'm here,
Copy !req
791. and I don't even
wanna do makeup anymore.
Copy !req
792. I'm like, I just wanna be
a comedian, apparently.
Copy !req
793. Symone, should we go
on a roast tour together?
Copy !req
794. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
795. Seeing who I am now
Copy !req
796. compared to who I was
when I first walked in
Copy !req
797. is just so crazy,
and I'm so proud of myself
Copy !req
798. and what I did here,
and I'm ready to win.
Copy !req
799. When I first walked in here,
Copy !req
800. I put a lot of kind of
pressure on myself
Copy !req
801. just to make sure I was
representing the trans community
Copy !req
802. and the trans guy community
especially,
Copy !req
803. because there's just not a lot
of representation there at all.
Copy !req
804. And I feel like
I've learned here
Copy !req
805. that the best way
to represent your community
Copy !req
806. is by just being you.
Copy !req
807. The pressure's just unnecessary.
Copy !req
808. Yeah. That's the lesson
I learned, for sure.
Copy !req
809. That right there,
exactly what you said.
Copy !req
810. Coming out of this experience,
Copy !req
811. I've had to unpack
a lot of things about myself.
Copy !req
812. I was a very lonely
and very shy kid.
Copy !req
813. I didn't love myself.
Copy !req
814. And to come in this competition
and to be able to blossom,
Copy !req
815. and the Symone that everyone
sees, I finally see it.
Copy !req
816. And let me tell you, when you
finally get on the other side,
Copy !req
817. it is a beautiful
fucking feeling.
Copy !req
818. Nobody can take that from me.
Copy !req
819. I love me, and I can say that.
Copy !req
820. I can say that now.
Copy !req
821. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
822. The tea is there's four bitches
here, there's one crown.
Copy !req
823. But the gag is how many of us
Copy !req
824. are going into the actual finale
for the crown?
Copy !req
825. Well, I definitely
see myself there,
Copy !req
826. so I'm going to be there.
Copy !req
827. I will say that out loud
and proudly, so...
Copy !req
828. - I mean, same.
- Yeah, I didn't come this far.
Copy !req
829. I'm not going
fucking anywhere, bitch.
Copy !req
830. - Yeah.
- And I'm bringing it, baby.
Copy !req
831. I'm bringing the fucking
roast Perdue chicken.
Copy !req
832. That's the main course.
Copy !req
833. - Oh, same.
- And I wanted to be top four,
Copy !req
834. because I wanna lip sync
against you bitches.
Copy !req
835. Yes, very that.
Copy !req
836. Like, wouldn't that
be fucking gag?
Copy !req
837. I'm so close to being in the
finale of RuPaul's Drag Race,
Copy !req
838. and I am not going
to fuck this up.
Copy !req
839. Ahh.
Copy !req
840. And what?
Copy !req
841. Welcome to the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Copy !req
842. Tonight it's just family.
Copy !req
843. Michelle Visage, now, when's
the last time you got lucky?
Copy !req
844. Honey, I don't get lucky,
I stay lucky.
Copy !req
845. Style superstar Carson Kressley,
Copy !req
846. I hear your lucky number
is 69. Is that true?
Copy !req
847. No, it doesn't bring me luck,
just a neck ache.
Copy !req
848. Ow.
Copy !req
849. And the hilarious Ross Mathews.
Copy !req
850. Ross, do you carry
a lucky charm?
Copy !req
851. Well, these have always
brought me luck.
Copy !req
852. White diamonds.
Copy !req
853. Why they gotta be white?
Copy !req
854. This week,
we challenged our queens
Copy !req
855. to shake their ice
and roll the dice
Copy !req
856. in an epic performance
of my new single Lucky.
Copy !req
857. And tonight on the runway,
category is Drag Excellence.
Copy !req
858. Racers, start your engines,
Copy !req
859. and may the best drag queen win.
Copy !req
860. Coming up...
Copy !req
861. You are so talented.
Copy !req
862. You can sing, you can act,
you can dance.
Copy !req
863. You are a star.
Copy !req
864. Don't throw up.
That's not washable.
Copy !req
865. Get ready for the world premiere
of Lucky.
Copy !req
866. Oh, my goodness!
Copy !req
867. Yes!
Copy !req
868. Category is Drag Excellence.
Copy !req
869. Up first, Gottmik.
Copy !req
870. Oh, you guys,
I think she's spotted us.
Copy !req
871. Circle gets the square.
Copy !req
872. I am polka-dotted head to toe.
Copy !req
873. All of my glory holes
out and proud.
Copy !req
874. My makeup is stamped.
Copy !req
875. I have my clown whiteface,
Copy !req
876. but then I also have holes
that show my skin tone.
Copy !req
877. This look is really creative,
Copy !req
878. out of the box,
show-stopping drag.
Copy !req
879. I feel so Baby Gottmik, bitch.
Copy !req
880. I feel what?
Copy !req
881. Gorg.
Copy !req
882. Gottmik? It's more like Spotmik.
Copy !req
883. I love it, period.
Copy !req
884. Kandy Muse.
Copy !req
885. Thank you for being transparent.
Copy !req
886. Now, that's a queen
that likes it meshy.
Copy !req
887. We love a meshy bottom.
Copy !req
888. Walking down the runway
for the last time,
Copy !req
889. I feel so beautiful.
Copy !req
890. A lot of girls for the finale
Copy !req
891. usually choose to wear gowns
and all this glamorous stuff.
Copy !req
892. But Kandy don't do glamour
and gowns, baby.
Copy !req
893. So I'm giving a true-to-me fun,
Copy !req
894. sexy, flirty, and chic, but ho.
Copy !req
895. Doesn't matter
what circumstances I'm put in,
Copy !req
896. Imma always be
cute and easy, bitch.
Copy !req
897. Kandalisa.
Copy !req
898. I've heard of a lace front,
but she got a lace back.
Copy !req
899. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
900. Rosé.
Copy !req
901. Is that
a shillelagh in your pocket,
Copy !req
902. or are you just happy to see me?
Copy !req
903. Beam me up, Scotty.
Copy !req
904. This look is a dream for me,
Copy !req
905. to wear a gown of tartan.
Copy !req
906. It is Scottish as fuck.
Copy !req
907. My hair is the most
beautiful shade
Copy !req
908. of Scottish orange ginger,
Copy !req
909. and it is down
to my fucking ass.
Copy !req
910. I am in love with the way
I look from head to toe.
Copy !req
911. I'm not plaid about it.
Copy !req
912. She kilt it.
Copy !req
913. Symone.
Copy !req
914. - As Leontyne Price.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
915. Y'all, do these
sleeves make my ass look big?
Copy !req
916. Sleeve Symone alone!
Copy !req
917. I am wearing
this beautiful purple gown
Copy !req
918. with larger-than-life sleeves.
Copy !req
919. They are so obnoxiously big,
and I love an obnoxious sleeve.
Copy !req
920. And I feel just
on top of the world.
Copy !req
921. I really wanted to make
the statement of our hair
Copy !req
922. and the way we wear it
is beautiful.
Copy !req
923. I wanted to bring Black
excellence to this competition,
Copy !req
924. because I wanted to show
Copy !req
925. that you can be that
and be unapologetic about it.
Copy !req
926. She is cornrowing
down the competition.
Copy !req
927. Even her sleeves are in drag.
Copy !req
928. Ladies and gentlemen,
Cicely Tyson.
Copy !req
929. Coming up...
Copy !req
930. I have goosebumps
because I enjoyed it so much.
Copy !req
931. I was like screaming watching
Copy !req
932. I can see your heart your soul,
sometimes your lower intestines.
Copy !req
933. Welcome, queens.
Copy !req
934. Hi!
Copy !req
935. You all have
been through so much.
Copy !req
936. I know how tough it is
to do this competition,
Copy !req
937. especially during these trying
times here on planet Earth.
Copy !req
938. I just wanna not only thank you,
Copy !req
939. but applaud you
for a job well done.
Copy !req
940. Give yourselves
a big round of applause.
Copy !req
941. And just a little word of advice
when you go out into the world
Copy !req
942. after you leave
this competition.
Copy !req
943. Pay your taxes...
Copy !req
944. And don't
read the Comments section.
Copy !req
945. Just don't. It's not worth it.
Copy !req
946. The truth is, the only comment
you need to remember
Copy !req
947. is that you are a star,
Copy !req
948. and I'm proud of each
and every one of you.
Copy !req
949. All right, so this is
gonna be your last critique...
Copy !req
950. - Ooh.
- Before we decide who makes it
Copy !req
951. to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Copy !req
952. So let's get started.
Copy !req
953. - First up, Baby Gottmik.
- Baby Gottmik.
Copy !req
954. This look is really fashionable
and completely original.
Copy !req
955. You hit that sweet spot...
Pun intended...
Copy !req
956. Where it's glamorous,
Copy !req
957. but it also has
a really chic sense of humor.
Copy !req
958. Yes. Thank you.
Copy !req
959. And you've brought that
in almost every look
Copy !req
960. this entire competition.
Copy !req
961. Some of the best looks, I think,
in Drag Raceherstory.
Copy !req
962. Thank you. That's...
Copy !req
963. Don't throw up.
That's not washable.
Copy !req
964. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
965. In your performance
in the video...
Copy !req
966. It was, like,
Gottmik is going for it.
Copy !req
967. - Fantastic work.
- I was watching that tape,
Copy !req
968. and when
you weren't even taping,
Copy !req
969. you were smiling and you were
so excited to be here.
Copy !req
970. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
971. And I so appreciate
your attitude.
Copy !req
972. Gottmik, your journey,
it's been so much fun to watch.
Copy !req
973. From your performance in
the Rusical to your Snatch Game,
Copy !req
974. you've impressed me every week.
Copy !req
975. You are creative.
Copy !req
976. That is what excites me.
That's what turns me on.
Copy !req
977. And I am so proud of you.
Copy !req
978. You know, there were a few times
during this competition
Copy !req
979. that you mentioned your parents,
Copy !req
980. and it really touched me
when you mentioned them.
Copy !req
981. Because I think about kids
around the world
Copy !req
982. who don't feel that they fit in
here or they fit in there
Copy !req
983. or what box they're
supposed to fit in.
Copy !req
984. You've given them a roadmap,
Copy !req
985. and I watched you in this
competition grow and expand.
Copy !req
986. I am so proud of you,
Copy !req
987. and I know your parents
are proud of you, too,
Copy !req
988. because now they
really understand
Copy !req
989. what a gift you are
to this world.
Copy !req
990. I can't even thank you enough.
Copy !req
991. I just really feel like you
do understand what I'm doing.
Copy !req
992. I just wanna,
after this competition,
Copy !req
993. take the same energy
you put into me,
Copy !req
994. and put it into the community
and the world.
Copy !req
995. That's what it's all about.
Copy !req
996. Thank you, Gottmik.
Copy !req
997. Thank you.
Copy !req
998. Up next, Kandalisa Muse.
Copy !req
999. This look on the runway tonight,
super detailed.
Copy !req
1000. The tailoring is right,
the proportions are right,
Copy !req
1001. the makeup, the hair,
Copy !req
1002. that highlight
on the apples of your cheeks,
Copy !req
1003. all of those details, super fun.
Copy !req
1004. And then in the music video...
Copy !req
1005. You just have tons of charisma.
Copy !req
1006. My favorite lyric in your verse
in the video
Copy !req
1007. is "from the hood to Hollywood."
Copy !req
1008. I relate, I get it,
and it's authentic.
Copy !req
1009. I did an adult film called
Hood to Hollywoodactually.
Copy !req
1010. Hey!
Copy !req
1011. So it resonates with me as well.
Copy !req
1012. Still have the scars.
Copy !req
1013. I am so happy you are here.
Copy !req
1014. And, yes, there have been
some moments
Copy !req
1015. where you fell off the horse,
so to speak,
Copy !req
1016. mostly with some of the looks.
Copy !req
1017. But you get back on every time.
Copy !req
1018. You found your lane,
and you stayed true to you.
Copy !req
1019. Whether it was Bossy Rossy,
Copy !req
1020. when you got that win
in the roast...
Copy !req
1021. She died.
Copy !req
1022. No one else can do Kandy Muse.
Copy !req
1023. When you needed to fight,
you fought
Copy !req
1024. like a girl from
the South Bronx would.
Copy !req
1025. Absolutely.
Copy !req
1026. You've gotta fight,
you've gotta want it,
Copy !req
1027. and that's what you have.
Copy !req
1028. You have that drive,
and it's exciting.
Copy !req
1029. And you're so funny,
Copy !req
1030. I want Kandy breakfast,
lunch, and dinner.
Copy !req
1031. I watch you and love you
because you're so funny.
Copy !req
1032. But more than that, I can see
your heart when you perform.
Copy !req
1033. Your heart, your soul,
sometimes your lower intestines.
Copy !req
1034. You give your all.
Copy !req
1035. Thank you so much, Kandy.
Copy !req
1036. Thank you.
Copy !req
1037. Up next, Rosé.
Copy !req
1038. What a journey
it's been for you.
Copy !req
1039. From the first lip sync,
I could see your face the most
Copy !req
1040. going "what the fuck?"
Copy !req
1041. "Are you for real?"
Copy !req
1042. You are so talented
and such a presence
Copy !req
1043. and are so good at what you do.
Copy !req
1044. And you've also grown so much.
Copy !req
1045. You're a professional,
and it shows.
Copy !req
1046. This runway look,
which is so gorgeous,
Copy !req
1047. I love the pleating details
and the lace details.
Copy !req
1048. This is, like, a formal night
at Highclere Castle.
Copy !req
1049. You always bring a look that
is somehow on-brand for Rosé.
Copy !req
1050. And you bring a level
of professionalism and polish
Copy !req
1051. to the runway
that I really appreciate.
Copy !req
1052. In your music video, when you
come to the stage, you're ready.
Copy !req
1053. You hit every mark, you had
all the beats in the dance.
Copy !req
1054. Your voice was beautiful,
Copy !req
1055. and then you went into
this speed rap, which I loved.
Copy !req
1056. Every challenge
that I worked with you on,
Copy !req
1057. you were the most prepared
when they walked on set.
Copy !req
1058. From the commercial
to the movie parody
Copy !req
1059. when you were on your knees,
Copy !req
1060. which is always a good way
to get ahead in Hollywood.
Copy !req
1061. I think you're sort of
the full thing.
Copy !req
1062. You have style, you're funny,
Copy !req
1063. you can sing, you can act,
you can dance.
Copy !req
1064. They call that
a drag grand slam,
Copy !req
1065. which you can also order off
the menu at Denny's if you ask.
Copy !req
1066. I am so proud of you.
Copy !req
1067. You deliver.
Copy !req
1068. We can always depend on you
Copy !req
1069. to come through
and make it work.
Copy !req
1070. You can do it all.
Total package.
Copy !req
1071. Total package.
Copy !req
1072. You should be very proud
of yourself,
Copy !req
1073. because I definitely am.
Copy !req
1074. Thank you.
Copy !req
1075. Up next, Symone.
Copy !req
1076. This is spectacular.
Copy !req
1077. You do a thing that's very rare,
Copy !req
1078. where, no matter what you wear,
Copy !req
1079. you're wearing the clothes,
they're not wearing you.
Copy !req
1080. You are in charge,
you are selling it,
Copy !req
1081. you are looking gorgeous,
you are looking regal.
Copy !req
1082. I just think we should
take a picture of this
Copy !req
1083. and we should email it
to Anna Wintour,
Copy !req
1084. and we've got the October cover.
Copy !req
1085. How many iconic looks
has Symone already had?
Copy !req
1086. I have goosebumps
Copy !req
1087. because I enjoyed it so much
all season long.
Copy !req
1088. Thank you.
Copy !req
1089. In the performance
in the Luckyvideo,
Copy !req
1090. again, a real standout.
Copy !req
1091. You have so much charisma,
Copy !req
1092. and I'm buying
whatever you're selling,
Copy !req
1093. including Sweet Toof.
Copy !req
1094. You're gonna need it.
Copy !req
1095. I've ordered a case
at the Wiggly Piggly.
Copy !req
1096. Do you remember
Mary Poppins' purse?
Copy !req
1097. Yeah, and she would just
pull, like, a ladder out?
Copy !req
1098. Well, I think you stole
the bitch's suitcase,
Copy !req
1099. because you're pulling
some shit out
Copy !req
1100. week after week after week.
Copy !req
1101. I wasn't here
for some of the foibles.
Copy !req
1102. I guess the singing
didn't go so well.
Copy !req
1103. It didn't, no.
Copy !req
1104. After coaching you
through that vocal challenge
Copy !req
1105. and getting to
where you were in Lucky,
Copy !req
1106. I was, like,
screaming watching it.
Copy !req
1107. Because you did it.
Copy !req
1108. I listened.
Copy !req
1109. This competition is about
learning what you're good at,
Copy !req
1110. camouflaging what you're not,
and staying true to yourself.
Copy !req
1111. When we falter, when we fall,
Copy !req
1112. it gives the world
an opportunity
Copy !req
1113. for them to see us get back up
and then survive,
Copy !req
1114. and that's what you have done,
Copy !req
1115. and looking good as you do it.
Copy !req
1116. - Love it, love it.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1117. Thank you, Symone.
Copy !req
1118. Of course. Thank you.
Copy !req
1119. Coming up...
Copy !req
1120. The time has come...
Copy !req
1121. for you to lip sync...
Copy !req
1122. for your life!
Copy !req
1123. Queens, to share
your wisdom and experience,
Copy !req
1124. especially with our
young viewers around the world,
Copy !req
1125. it's become a Drag Racetradition
Copy !req
1126. for me to ask you this question.
Copy !req
1127. Gottmik, you gave us permission
to show this childhood photo.
Copy !req
1128. Yeah.
Copy !req
1129. What do you have to say
to your two-year-old self?
Copy !req
1130. Hi, Kade. That's your name now.
Get into it.
Copy !req
1131. You know,
there's one side of you
Copy !req
1132. that just loves
laughing and life,
Copy !req
1133. and then there's another side
Copy !req
1134. that just feels like
you just don't fit in.
Copy !req
1135. And you just need to realize
Copy !req
1136. that you have to live
your truth,
Copy !req
1137. and the second you trust
that you know who you are,
Copy !req
1138. your whole life is gonna change.
Copy !req
1139. Those years of being
uncomfortable in your own skin
Copy !req
1140. is gonna make you grow
an even thicker skin,
Copy !req
1141. and you're gonna be able
to look in the mirror
Copy !req
1142. and say, "I love you."
Copy !req
1143. And you're gonna
take over the world.
Copy !req
1144. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1145. Kandy Muse.
Copy !req
1146. What advice do you have
for your three-year-old self?
Copy !req
1147. - Oh!
- Aw!
Copy !req
1148. Uh...
Copy !req
1149. People are not gonna get you.
Copy !req
1150. People are gonna try
to physically hurt you,
Copy !req
1151. mentally harm you.
Copy !req
1152. There's gonna come a time
in your life
Copy !req
1153. where you are
gonna have to choose
Copy !req
1154. if you're gonna wanna
live your life to the fullest...
Copy !req
1155. or end up in jail.
Copy !req
1156. But you are gonna grow
so strong from it.
Copy !req
1157. And you don't
have to put the blame
Copy !req
1158. on yourself for everything.
Copy !req
1159. That you can't change.
Copy !req
1160. And you're a cunt, bitch,
you've always been cunt.
Copy !req
1161. - Look at that hat.
- Love that.
Copy !req
1162. Rosé, what advice do you have
for your two-year-old self?
Copy !req
1163. You are so severely blessed
by a love
Copy !req
1164. that your parents will teach you
throughout your life.
Copy !req
1165. A lot of kids don't get that.
Copy !req
1166. And one day you're gonna find
something called drag,
Copy !req
1167. and you will finally begin
to really understand yourself.
Copy !req
1168. And then it is your job
to teach others that love.
Copy !req
1169. And you gotta
take that bow tie off,
Copy !req
1170. because there's four bitches
Copy !req
1171. that are gonna read you
for looking too perfect.
Copy !req
1172. Put it in the hair, yeah.
Copy !req
1173. So cute.
Copy !req
1174. I like the bow tie.
Copy !req
1175. I'm not a big fan of bow ties.
Copy !req
1176. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1177. All right, Symone.
Copy !req
1178. What advice do you have
for your three-year-old self?
Copy !req
1179. Reggie...
Copy !req
1180. You're gonna grow up
and you're gonna believe
Copy !req
1181. all the things
that people say about you.
Copy !req
1182. That there is something
wrong with you,
Copy !req
1183. that you can't be Black and gay,
Copy !req
1184. that you can't be feminine
and be successful.
Copy !req
1185. And you are gonna hate yourself.
Copy !req
1186. Please don't make
the mistake I did.
Copy !req
1187. Love yourself,
Copy !req
1188. and then you're gonna go
and live your dream one day
Copy !req
1189. and meet somebody
who inspires you.
Copy !req
1190. And she's gonna call you a star.
Copy !req
1191. And you're going to do
everything they say
Copy !req
1192. that you couldn't do,
Copy !req
1193. and you're gonna be great.
Copy !req
1194. Thank you.
Copy !req
1195. Thank you, queens.
I think we've heard enough.
Copy !req
1196. While you untuck
in the werkroom,
Copy !req
1197. the judges and I
will deliberate.
Copy !req
1198. You may leave the stage.
Copy !req
1199. Okay, just between
us squirrel friends,
Copy !req
1200. what do you think?
Copy !req
1201. We've got our final four,
Copy !req
1202. and they are
a fabulous final four.
Copy !req
1203. Wow.
Copy !req
1204. Let's start with Baby Gottmik.
Copy !req
1205. Gottmik's performance
in the Luckyvideo
Copy !req
1206. just shows how far she's come.
Copy !req
1207. It's just a tremendous amount
of growth in a season.
Copy !req
1208. And then don't get me started
on the fashion.
Copy !req
1209. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
1210. I think my favorite thing
Copy !req
1211. is when high fashion
meets stupid.
Copy !req
1212. - Yes.
- And that was it tonight.
Copy !req
1213. 101 reasons to love it.
Copy !req
1214. She was never in the bottom
Copy !req
1215. and she's just really
gotten better and better
Copy !req
1216. and that was just
so fun to watch.
Copy !req
1217. Beyond all of the looks
and the growth,
Copy !req
1218. this kid has charmed me
to no end.
Copy !req
1219. Kandy Muse. Kandalisa.
Copy !req
1220. In the Luckyvideo,
she was ready,
Copy !req
1221. and I was so here for it.
Copy !req
1222. I will tell you this.
Copy !req
1223. When it comes to understanding
what Kandy Muse is saying,
Copy !req
1224. I'm up to about 90%.
Copy !req
1225. The quality of her voice
is so original.
Copy !req
1226. Everything about Kandy
is original.
Copy !req
1227. And she's grown as a person.
She's grown as an artist.
Copy !req
1228. She's got it.
Copy !req
1229. Rosé.
Copy !req
1230. In these challenges,
she was so ready, on her mark,
Copy !req
1231. knew her lines,
had the character.
Copy !req
1232. Are we sure she's not a robot?
Copy !req
1233. Totally.
Copy !req
1234. Is she Vicki from
Small Wonderall grown up?
Copy !req
1235. Her verse in Lucky,
Copy !req
1236. of course the minute
she started singing,
Copy !req
1237. I was like, "That's Rosé."
Copy !req
1238. She also dropped a rap,
Copy !req
1239. and she was speed-rapping.
Copy !req
1240. That's not easy,
Copy !req
1241. and you could hear
every word she was saying.
Copy !req
1242. I think she's at her best
Copy !req
1243. when she can combine
that structure
Copy !req
1244. she puts into everything
and her heart.
Copy !req
1245. Rosé is a true
professional. Wow.
Copy !req
1246. All right,
let's move on to Symone.
Copy !req
1247. You know, I could not
take my eyes off of her.
Copy !req
1248. The camera,
when it looks at her,
Copy !req
1249. it's like it's pointing.
Look over here.
Copy !req
1250. And you just,
you can't ignore her.
Copy !req
1251. - Look over there!
- Look over there!
Copy !req
1252. You can't ignore her.
Copy !req
1253. What an absolute joy to watch.
Copy !req
1254. It's just above and beyond.
Copy !req
1255. It's two plus two equals 5,000.
Copy !req
1256. You know, I can't believe
Copy !req
1257. Symone's from
a little town in Arkansas.
Copy !req
1258. A star that bright
was just unknown,
Copy !req
1259. waiting to be discovered.
Copy !req
1260. And, you know, her emotional
speech on the runway,
Copy !req
1261. it was so beautiful.
Copy !req
1262. It's a close race, Ru.
Copy !req
1263. Silence! I've made my decision.
Copy !req
1264. Welcome back, queens.
Copy !req
1265. You all did
an amazing job this week
Copy !req
1266. and all season long.
Copy !req
1267. And Michelle, Carson, Ross,
and I feel very lucky
Copy !req
1268. that we got to share
this incredible adventure
Copy !req
1269. with each of you.
Copy !req
1270. However, before
I can determine who moves on
Copy !req
1271. to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race,
Copy !req
1272. I want to see you all
lip sync for your life.
Copy !req
1273. I have not been in the bottom
two during this competition,
Copy !req
1274. and this is the top four.
Copy !req
1275. The stakes are higher than they
ever have been or will ever be.
Copy !req
1276. But you're going to do it
Copy !req
1277. one at a time.
Copy !req
1278. I am truly gagged to my core.
Copy !req
1279. I assumed I was gonna be
running around the stage
Copy !req
1280. with all four of these bitches,
Copy !req
1281. just bumping into them,
living my fantasy, but, no.
Copy !req
1282. Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me
Copy !req
1283. and save yourself
from elimination.
Copy !req
1284. The time has come...
Copy !req
1285. for you to lip sync...
Copy !req
1286. for your life!
Copy !req
1287. Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
Copy !req
1288. Ladies, I've made my decision.
Copy !req
1289. When I call your name,
please step forward.
Copy !req
1290. Gottmik.
Copy !req
1291. Kandy Muse.
Copy !req
1292. Rosé.
Copy !req
1293. Symone.
Copy !req
1294. Ladies...
Copy !req
1295. you are all moving on
Copy !req
1296. to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Copy !req
1297. That's right. We've got
ourselves a final four.
Copy !req
1298. Con-drag-ulations, queens.
Copy !req
1299. Thank you.
Copy !req
1300. Now I wanna hear from you,
the viewers.
Copy !req
1301. Are you Team Gottmik,
Copy !req
1302. Team Kandy,
Copy !req
1303. Team Rosé,
Copy !req
1304. or Team Symone?
Copy !req
1305. Let your voice be heard,
Copy !req
1306. and tune in next week for
RuPaul's Drag Race Reunited.
Copy !req
1307. And join us in two weeks
for the grand finale,

1308. where we're gonna crown
ourselves a winner, baby.
Copy !req
1309. Now remember,
if you can't love yourself,
Copy !req
1310. how in the hell
you gonna love somebody else?
Copy !req
1311. Can I get an "amen" up in here?
Copy !req
1312. - Amen!
- Amen!
Copy !req
1313. That's right.
Now let the music play!
Copy !req
