from pageants
Copy !req
122. is confidence is key.
Copy !req
123. So every challenge,
I'm, like, bitch,
Copy !req
124. even if I'm going
into the challenge
Copy !req
125. and I don't feel
that confident,
Copy !req
126. bitch, I'm, like,
you gonna fake it
Copy !req

Copy !req
148. My track record look good.
Copy !req
149. My track record
is strong.
Copy !req
150. My track record like wood.
Copy !req
151. My track record
real long.
Copy !req
152. Oh, my goodness,
your track record looks good.
Copy !req
153. Oh, thank you, Mama.
Copy !req
154. Now, Angeria, did the little boy
from Sparta, Georgia
Copy !req
155. ever imagine
he'd be standing here tonight?
Copy !req
156. You know, I knew that
I was gonna be something.
Copy !req
157. I knew I was gonna be
successful.
Copy !req
158. I just didn't know what
I was gonna be successful at.
Copy !req
159. But you know what?
We here.
Copy !req
160. If you would have told me
years ago
Copy !req
161. that I would have been doing
Copy !req
162. my first step and repeat
in Las Vegas,
Copy !req
163. I would have not believed you.
Copy !req
164. Yes. We a long ways
from Sparta, Georgia, Mama.
Copy !req
165. That's right.
Copy !req
166. Now, how has your life changed
since Drag Race?
Copy !req
167. Oh, it's been amazing.
Copy !req
168. You know, people,
they come up to me now.
Copy !req
169. They recognize me
in the grocery store.
Copy !req
170. They recognize my parents.
Copy !req
171. Like, it's just amazing.
Copy !req
172. Like, I really could
have never imagined
Copy !req
173. that this would be me,
Copy !req
174. like, at all.
Copy !req
175. Like, I'm, like, girl, okay.
Copy !req
176. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
177. It's a little different,
but I think it's safe to say
Copy !req
178. I'm getting used to it.
Copy !req
179. So who's here
supporting you tonight?
Copy !req
180. Oh, my God.
My lovely mother and father.
Copy !req
181. Hello, Mama and Papa Angeria.
Copy !req
182. Now, did you always know
you were raising a star?
Copy !req
183. Well, yes, I really did.
Copy !req
184. Because I can remember, you
know, her as a kindergartner.
Copy !req
185. She won her first crown.
Copy !req
186. And then from one through 12
after that,
Copy !req
187. every year
she had a crown on her head.
Copy !req
188. She got a crown
from kindergarten?
Copy !req
189. Oh, yes, yes.
Copy !req
190. Yes, she really did.
Copy !req
191. For doing what?
Copy !req
192. She was queen—
she was king of kindergarten.
Copy !req
193. - The queen/king of kindergarten.
- Kindergarten, yes.
Copy !req
194. Okay.
Copy !req
195. Yes.
Copy !req
196. Well, Angeria
turned out so great.
Copy !req
197. Do you have advice
for other parents
Copy !req
198. who may be raising a king
or queen of kindergarten?
Copy !req
199. Well, I would say just love
your kids for who they are
Copy !req
200. and always, you know,
stand by them
Copy !req
201. for whatever they wanna be,
and, you know,
Copy !req
202. just support them
and love them.
Copy !req
203. Yeah, I love that.
I love that.
Copy !req
204. Now, Angeria, I've always said
drag doesn't change who you are.
Copy !req
205. It reveals who you are.
Copy !req
206. So what have you learned
about yourself through drag?
Copy !req
207. The one thing that I can
definitely say that I learned
Copy !req
208. is honestly something
that my mom has been telling me
Copy !req
209. since I was
about four years old,
Copy !req
210. and that's I can do anything
I put my mind to.
Copy !req
211. - I love that.
- Yes.
Copy !req
212. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
213. I put my mind
to being a drag queen,
Copy !req
214. and look at me now.
Copy !req
215. Well, Miss Angeria,
you have done yourself,
Copy !req
216. your parents,
and Sparta, Georgia very proud.
Copy !req
217. Give it up for Angeria.
Copy !req
218. If you're Team Angeria,
Copy !req
219. sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
220. Coming up next, more
show-stopping performances
Copy !req
221. from our top five showgirls.
Copy !req
222. Later, we'll crown
Miss Congeniality
Copy !req
223. when the grand finale
ofRuPaul's Drag Race continues
Copy !req
224. from Las Vegas.
Copy !req
225. From Las Vegas,
Copy !req
226. welcome back to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Copy !req
227. Now, our next
top five finalist
Copy !req
228. is a badass combination
Copy !req
229. of brains, beauty,
and body-ody-ody.
Copy !req
230. Take a look.
Copy !req
231. I'm a tall drink of water,
Copy !req
232. and I made a pretty big splash
this season.
Copy !req
233. Coming into the finale,
Copy !req
234. I'm so excited
to be among my people,
Copy !req
235. feeling so at home with
all of the other strippers.
Copy !req
236. I came into the competition
Copy !req
237. very focused on proving myself
to be a talented drag queen.
Copy !req
238. I wanted to show most of all
Copy !req
239. that I'm incredibly
good-looking.
Copy !req
240. What?
Copy !req
241. It's so hot.
Copy !req
242. I would say
my journey on Drag Race
Copy !req
243. was kind of like this.
Copy !req
244. We started out pretty strong,
Copy !req
245. then we shit the bed
a little bit.
Copy !req
246. I'm known for being
an outfit repeater,
Copy !req
247. which to the gays
is a cardinal sin.
Copy !req
248. I almost got the chop,
but the drag gods saved me.
Copy !req
249. I came back and won through
the power of shit-talking.
Copy !req
250. This is why Jorgeous lost.
Copy !req
251. I have no qualms
about being competitive,
Copy !req
252. but going through
the competition has taught me
Copy !req
253. how to roll with the punches
Copy !req
254. and pull yourself back together
after falling apart.
Copy !req
255. Michelle, put a top on!
Copy !req
256. Are you drowning?
I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
257. It would be so cool to win.
Copy !req
258. Tonight the demon queen
of Seattle
Copy !req
259. is gonna take you
on a heavenly ride.
Copy !req
260. So watch out, Sin City.
Copy !req
261. I'm gonna have
so much fun tonight,
Copy !req
262. and I'm gonna look so hot.
Copy !req
263. You know, the only thing my
outfit is missing is the crown.
Copy !req
264. Hello, Bosco!
Copy !req
265. Now, you are a strange
and exotic queen, darling.
Copy !req
266. Where does that aesthetic
come from?
Copy !req
267. I think this is the first time
that Great Falls, Montana's
Copy !req
268. been described as "exotic."
Copy !req
269. I used to watch cartoons
and read so many books
Copy !req
270. and try to be anywhere
but where I was
Copy !req
271. for a very long time.
Copy !req
272. So I kind of started
bringing that
Copy !req
273. and started dressing up as that.
Copy !req
274. Always loved villains
Copy !req
275. and I've always loved
icy bitches.
Copy !req
276. Now, you've got three wins
under your corset,
Copy !req
277. and as Jorgeous pointed out,
Copy !req
278. you were in the bottom
three times in one episode.
Copy !req
279. You shit-head.
You were so funny for that.
Copy !req
280. You should have saved it
for the roast.
Copy !req
281. You know, at this point,
I've lost so many times
Copy !req
282. that the only thing that
makes sense is for me to win.
Copy !req
283. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
284. So what surprised you
the most this season?
Copy !req
285. You know, I don't think
I went into this
Copy !req
286. expecting to make
a lot of friends.
Copy !req
287. That wasn't my priority,
by any means.
Copy !req
288. But I've walked away with,
like, not only friends,
Copy !req
289. but, like, a sisterhood.
Copy !req
290. And... it's incredible.
Copy !req
291. Yes!
Copy !req
292. Now, has your family
in Montana been watching?
Copy !req
293. They have been watching.
Copy !req
294. This is the first time
they've ever seen me in drag
Copy !req
295. was for, um, the show,
Copy !req
296. and I've had some family members
come to some of my shows now,
Copy !req
297. and they have seen
every angle of my taint.
Copy !req
298. And that's what I really wanted
Copy !req
299. to set out
and accomplish at this.
Copy !req
300. So who's here supporting you
tonight?
Copy !req
301. I have Miss Lucy Lips
Copy !req
302. and my incredibly handsome
boyfriend Blake.
Copy !req
303. Lovely. Now, are you excited
for Bosco tonight?
Copy !req
304. So very excited, so happy
to be here to support her.
Copy !req
305. And so describe
your relationship
Copy !req
306. in three words, Blake.
Copy !req
307. Uh...
Copy !req
308. it's never boring.
Copy !req
309. That was three words, yeah.
Copy !req
310. Very well done.
Copy !req
311. And Lucy, is it true that
you made some of Bosco's looks?
Copy !req
312. I made some pieces
here or there.
Copy !req
313. I let her borrow
some things, yeah.
Copy !req
314. Lucy, did you make all those
bras, corsets, and panties?
Copy !req
315. You know, I wish I could
take credit for those,
Copy !req
316. but, you know, in Seattle,
Copy !req
317. we support and celebrate
all types of drag,
Copy !req
318. but the one thing that
we really love to celebrate
Copy !req
319. is naked sluts.
Copy !req
320. Oh!
Copy !req
321. I like naked sluts.
Copy !req
322. And you know,
if they don't like it,
Copy !req
323. wear less and charge more.
Copy !req
324. That's right.
Copy !req
325. That's right.
I love it.
Copy !req
326. All right,
final question, Bosco.
Copy !req
327. What do you love the most
about drag?
Copy !req
328. So drag—oh, sorry.
Copy !req
329. The estrogen
is slappin' right now.
Copy !req
330. Yeah, drag taught me
who I wanted to be
Copy !req
331. and, like, taught me
how I want it to be.
Copy !req
332. I love that.
Copy !req
333. Bosco, the drag gods love you,
and so do we.
Copy !req
334. Give it up for Bosco!
Copy !req
335. If you're Team Bosco,
Copy !req
336. sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
337. Up next, our top five
showgirl showdown continues.
Copy !req
338. And later, a special surprise
powered by Cash App.
Copy !req
339. Plus, the final
lip sync for the crown,
Copy !req
340. when the grand finale of
RuPaul's Drag Race continues
Copy !req
341. from Las Vegas.
Copy !req
342. Welcome back to the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Copy !req
343. Our next showgirl is proof
Copy !req
344. that you can't keep
a good queen down.
Copy !req
345. It's Daya Betty.
Take a look.
Copy !req
346. Hello, Las Vegas.
Copy !req
347. I am Daya Betty,
the wild card of Season 14.
Copy !req
348. Ca-caw! Ca-caw!
Copy !req
349. My journey started off
Copy !req
350. not the way
that I had anticipated.
Copy !req
351. My first episode, going home.
Copy !req
352. But what do you know,
I got to come back,
Copy !req
353. and I really was just
eyes on the prize
Copy !req
354. from that point forward.
Copy !req
355. I was not going to let anyone
or anything get in my way.
Copy !req
356. It feels so good to be here,
because more than anything
Copy !req
357. I'm doing it to prove to myself
that I know who I am.
Copy !req
358. I am my own brand,
Copy !req
359. with that punk rock attitude
Copy !req
360. and a fierce
competitive streak.
Copy !req
361. I look nothing like her.
Copy !req
362. I think the most important thing
that I've learned is resilience,
Copy !req
363. being able to ultimately fail
at something
Copy !req
364. and then come back and bite it
in the ass and keep going.
Copy !req
365. I'm known for being outspoken,
and some people don't like it.
Copy !req
366. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
367. Fuck it. I think being
yourself and being authentic
Copy !req
368. is the most important part.
Copy !req
369. It's Daya and Jasmine!
Copy !req
370. You don't always
have to sugarcoat things.
Copy !req
371. It's probably best
that I don't sugarcoat things,
Copy !req
372. because it would make
my blood sugar all out of whack.
Copy !req
373. My drag is all about
being confident, powerful,
Copy !req
374. and a little edgy
thrown in there.
Copy !req
375. A little bit of a diva attitude,
Copy !req
376. but this rock star mindset,
and mash 'em together.
Copy !req
377. It makes a perfect
drag combination.
Copy !req
378. Tonight I am so ready
to give you a show.
Copy !req
379. I think you guys know
how much I want that crown.
Copy !req
380. I am ready to go in
guns a-blazin'
Copy !req
381. and show everybody what I got.
Copy !req
382. Wow, Daya Betty.
Copy !req
383. Well, Daya Betty, you ain't
a fighter, you're a lover.
Copy !req
384. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
385. Now, Daya,
you were sent packing
Copy !req
386. after your very first episode,
Copy !req
387. but you earned your way
to this grand finale.
Copy !req
388. Where does your determination
come from?
Copy !req
389. Oh, my gosh.
Well, I mean,
Copy !req
390. I was just, like, raised
in a household of people
Copy !req
391. that were super strong-willed
and outspoken,
Copy !req
392. and all of my families are.
Copy !req
393. Maybe it's just something in
the water in Missouri, you know?
Copy !req
394. Like, cigarette butts,
dead bugs, and determination.
Copy !req
395. Now, this season
Copy !req
396. you were compared
to your sister Crystal Methyd.
Copy !req
397. Yes.
Copy !req
398. Did she have any advice for you?
Copy !req
399. Well, she told me
to grow a mullet,
Copy !req
400. but that's not really
possible for me, so...
Copy !req
401. And if you were
a member of DeBarge,
Copy !req
402. which member would you be?
Copy !req
403. Who's DeBarge?
Copy !req
404. - What?
Copy !req
405. And what inspired you
to do drag?
Copy !req
406. Well, I get a lot of
inspiration from, like,
Copy !req
407. women that don't necessarily
follow the social norms.
Copy !req
408. You know, like, I like
that rough around the edges
Copy !req
409. kind of aesthetic.
Copy !req
410. And, you know, I'm bald,
so I like putting on a wig
Copy !req
411. and pretending I have hair
for once.
Copy !req
412. So who's here
supporting you tonight?
Copy !req
413. Yeah, I have
my boyfriend Tanner.
Copy !req
414. - Yay, Tanner!
- Yes, Tanner.
Copy !req
415. And then my—
Copy !req
416. the other House of Methyd
member, Lux.
Copy !req
417. - Oh, wow.
- Yes, yes.
Copy !req
418. Tanner, what makes you
the most proud of Daya Betty?
Copy !req
419. I would say
what makes me most proud
Copy !req
420. is how she's not afraid
to express her emotions
Copy !req
421. and deal with them.
Copy !req
422. And as you can tell,
Copy !req
423. she puts her heart
into everything she does,
Copy !req
424. and she does it flawlessly.
Copy !req
425. - Yes, she does.
- Love you.
Copy !req
426. All right,
final question, Daya.
Copy !req
427. What's the most important thing
you'll be taking away
Copy !req
428. from your time at Drag Race?
Copy !req
429. I just think it's really
important to remember, like,
Copy !req
430. life is gonna
throw you curveballs,
Copy !req
431. things are gonna get you down,
Copy !req
432. things are not gonna go
as you planned.
Copy !req
433. But what matters
is how you get up from that
Copy !req
434. and how you stand tall
Copy !req
435. and you keep fighting
through it.
Copy !req
436. I love that.
Copy !req
437. Now, Daya Betty, I say this
as a compliment.
Copy !req
438. There ain't nothin' safe
about you.
Copy !req
439. Give it up for the dangerous
and delightful Daya Betty!
Copy !req
440. If you're Team Daya Betty,
Copy !req
441. sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
442. If you're loving the Season 14
grand finale songs,
Copy !req
443. they're available now
to download and stream.
Copy !req
444. Up next, the showgirl
showdown continues
Copy !req
445. with performances
from the final two queens.
Copy !req
446. Later, America's reigning
drag superstar Symone returns
Copy !req
447. when the grand finale of
RuPaul's Drag Race continues
Copy !req
448. from Las Vegas.
Copy !req
449. Welcome back
to the grand finale
Copy !req
450. of RuPaul's Drag Race
from Las Vegas.
Copy !req
451. Tonight's showgirl
showdown continues
Copy !req
452. as I determine
which two queens
Copy !req
453. will lip sync for the crown.
Copy !req
454. Up next, she's a queen with
a mix of sugar and spice, girl.
Copy !req
455. It's Lady Camden!
Copy !req
456. Place your bets,
ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
457. because luck be a lady tonight,
Copy !req
458. even though
we all know at this point
Copy !req
459. she don't need no luck.
Copy !req
460. Viva Las Vegas, baby!
Copy !req
461. We love you, Lady Camden!
Copy !req
462. I'm really proud that
I feel like a rock star now,
Copy !req
463. after entering the competition
a kind of timid little mouse.
Copy !req
464. I think the queens
and the judges
Copy !req
465. were sleeping on me.
Copy !req
466. I hope she kicks
Daya Betty's ass.
Copy !req
467. I just might.
Copy !req
468. And while it feels like maybe
Copy !req
469. it was harder for me
to prove myself,
Copy !req
470. the end result
is a much sweeter taste.
Copy !req
471. When I felt close to a win
and didn't get it,
Copy !req
472. that kind of
shifted things for me.
Copy !req
473. It made me feel like,
Copy !req
474. oh, I need to kind of scream
and shout a little bit more.
Copy !req
475. Maxine!
Copy !req
476. People are waiting
for you to succeed.
Copy !req
477. Some people want you to,
you know, trip and fall.
Copy !req
478. But a lot of people love it
when you stand back up
Copy !req
479. and win the challenge.
Copy !req
480. My highs in this competition
Copy !req
481. have steadily just been, like,
boom, pow, wow, psh, pew.
Copy !req
482. I feel like I've slammed
the door open to who I am now.
Copy !req
483. My family is American
as well as British,
Copy !req
484. and my American side
of the family,
Copy !req
485. they just don't
give a fuck as much.
Copy !req
486. And I think
that's the side of me
Copy !req
487. that I'm continuing
to embrace more and more.
Copy !req
488. Hey!
Copy !req
489. I'm walking over here!
Copy !req
490. I've realized that Lady Camden
is an embodiment
Copy !req
491. of who Max wanted to be
when he was six years old.
Copy !req
492. It just feels like
I'm giving back
Copy !req
493. to that little kid
who was so scared
Copy !req
494. to just, like, be gay
and be feminine and be fierce.
Copy !req
495. I want my performance tonight
to be remembered
Copy !req
496. as the best you've ever seen
on Drag Race.
Copy !req
497. Take it from this ginger queen.
Copy !req
498. If you wanna back a winner...
Copy !req
499. Bet on red.
Copy !req
500. Sing it!
Copy !req
501. Wow. Oh, yes.
She will rock you.
Copy !req
502. Camden the Princess.
Copy !req
503. Lady Camden!
Copy !req
504. So, Camden,
you are a stunt queen.
Copy !req
505. Where does that come from?
Copy !req
506. Well, Ru, you know,
once a theater kid,
Copy !req
507. always a theater kid.
Copy !req
508. Yes.
Copy !req
509. I used to pull stunts
all the time.
Copy !req
510. I used to run away from home,
Copy !req
511. pretend I'd,
you know, left forever.
Copy !req
512. I would pretend
that I was really upset
Copy !req
513. when people would say
mean things to me,
Copy !req
514. and then I'd just be like,
"Just kidding."
Copy !req
515. Now, your Freddie Mercury reveal
was epic.
Copy !req
516. Now, I understand—
yes, it was.
Copy !req
517. I understand the group Queen
has a special meaning for you.
Copy !req
518. Yeah, when I was deciding
to quit all of my jobs,
Copy !req
519. full-time dancing, waiting
as a server at a restaurant,
Copy !req
520. the day that I left,
I put on my music
Copy !req
521. and the first song that came on
was Break Freeby Queen.
Copy !req
522. I don't know. It was just
kind of, like, a nice sign.
Copy !req
523. It felt like something good
was on the horizon.
Copy !req
524. Now, looking back,
Copy !req
525. is there anything you'd
do differently this season?
Copy !req
526. I think I would take your advice
from day one,
Copy !req
527. which was just to kind of
let go and truly be yourself.
Copy !req
528. I feel like—it's what I've
learned from this competition
Copy !req
529. is it's one thing
to be successful,
Copy !req
530. but it's everything
to be yourself.
Copy !req
531. Yes, yes.
Copy !req
532. So who's here
supporting you tonight?
Copy !req
533. My mum and my drag mum are here.
Copy !req
534. So Camden has two mommies.
Copy !req
535. Yes.
Copy !req
536. Can you tell
which one's the real mama?
Copy !req
537. Well, let me guess.
Copy !req
538. Let me guess which one
is your drag mother
Copy !req
539. and which one
is your birth mother.
Copy !req
540. - Hmm.
- They look the same.
Copy !req
541. They do.
Copy !req
542. - Twins.
- They do look the same.
Copy !req
543. So Mother Camden, did you travel
all the way from England?
Copy !req
544. Yes, I did.
Copy !req
545. You all right, babe?
Copy !req
546. Yeah, yep, yep, yep.
Copy !req
547. - UK, hun?
- Yep.
Copy !req
548. Top of the world, guv.
Copy !req
549. Guvna.
Copy !req
550. Now, Mother Camden,
Copy !req
551. did you know that your child
was a stunt queen?
Copy !req
552. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
553. How early did you know that?
Copy !req
554. Well... five.
Copy !req
555. - Five years old? What happened?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
556. He was running around
in my stilettos,
Copy !req
557. swinging in the garden.
Copy !req
558. And Mara, anything
you wanna say to Lady Camden?
Copy !req
559. You got the crown, baby girl.
Copy !req
560. Bring it back to the Bay Area.
Copy !req
561. Bring it back
to the Bay Area.
Copy !req
562. Okay, final question.
Copy !req
563. You possess
the super power of drag.
Copy !req
564. Will you use it
for good or evil?
Copy !req
565. Um, I would say both, because
Freddie Mercury made me vers.
Copy !req
566. Lady Camden, for serving grace,
stunts, and swagger,
Copy !req
567. we salute you.
Copy !req
568. Give it up for Lady Camden!
Copy !req
569. Are you Team Lady Camden?
Copy !req
570. If so, sound off
using #DragRace.
Copy !req
571. LGBTQIA+ rights
are human rights,
Copy !req
572. so come midterm elections
in November,
Copy !req
573. make sure your voice is heard.
Copy !req
574. Register to vote at vote.gov.
Copy !req
575. Welcome back to the grand finale
Copy !req
576. of RuPaul's Drag Race
from Las Vegas.
Copy !req
577. Now, we are down to our
final showdown performance.
Copy !req
578. Since day one,
Copy !req
579. this next queen has proven
that weird is wonderful.
Copy !req
580. Willow Pill. Take a look.
Copy !req
581. Tonight, I feel like a high
roller on top of the world,
Copy !req
582. and nothing and nobody
can stop me.
Copy !req
583. When I first
walked in the werkroom,
Copy !req
584. the queens underestimated me.
Copy !req
585. But over time, I think
their opinions flip-flopped.
Copy !req
586. I think I brought something
different every time.
Copy !req
587. I'm more of a character
than I thought I was,
Copy !req
588. and I always have
a little smile on my face,
Copy !req
589. but I'm usually scheming
behind in the brain.
Copy !req
590. I think what I've done
on the show
Copy !req
591. has resonated with people
so much
Copy !req
592. because what I do is just
take dark and painful moments
Copy !req
593. and take the piss out of it.
Copy !req
594. I am here to represent people
Copy !req
595. who are dealing
with disabilities
Copy !req
596. and physical illness.
Copy !req
597. It is a big part of my drag.
Copy !req
598. I've been through
a shit storm and back,
Copy !req
599. and it's made my drag funnier
and more interesting.
Copy !req
600. It's just a special sauce
that I bring to my drag,
Copy !req
601. and it's more than just
mayonnaise and ketchup.
Copy !req
602. I've been so consistently
in the top.
Copy !req
603. Lovely weather we're having.
Copy !req
604. I've barely faltered
in this competition,
Copy !req
605. and I think I deserve to win.
Copy !req
606. Tonight, I'm feeling
a lot of emotions.
Copy !req
607. This is my last little lap,
and I'm so excited for it.
Copy !req
608. I can't wait
to share this piece of me.
Copy !req
609. It's so true to who I am.
Copy !req
610. I wanna give Las Vegas
the full Willow Pill experience.
Copy !req
611. I wanna leave them
laughing, crying,
Copy !req
612. and asking the person
next to them,
Copy !req
613. "What the fuck was that?"
Copy !req
614. Wow. All right.
Copy !req
615. Willow, now you say you hate
people, but people love you.
Copy !req
616. What's the fan response
been like?
Copy !req
617. It's been so overwhelming.
Copy !req
618. Everywhere I go,
I need a bodyguard.
Copy !req
619. Um, and people give me
toasters and spaghetti
Copy !req
620. - all over the place.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
621. It's very tempting.
Copy !req
622. Willow, your resilience
has been so inspiring.
Copy !req
623. How are you doing?
Copy !req
624. Um, I don't see how
that's any of your business.
Copy !req
625. That's the perfect answer.
Copy !req
626. That's the perfect answer.
Copy !req
627. And just know that
your car will be keyed.
Copy !req
628. No, I'm doing fabulous.
Copy !req
629. It's been such an amazing ride,
Copy !req
630. and now I've got my own
beautiful face and two more.
Copy !req
631. This is Carson and Ross,
by the way.
Copy !req
632. - Oh, okay.
- And Michelle.
Copy !req
633. Now, Willow, how have you grown
since you started this journey?
Copy !req
634. Mostly in the cheeks and lips.
Copy !req
635. Okay.
Copy !req
636. But, no, it's been amazing.
Copy !req
637. I mean, I've been finding
my gender so much,
Copy !req
638. and just kind of falling in love
with myself all over again.
Copy !req
639. I love that.
Copy !req
640. So, Willow, who is here
supporting you tonight?
Copy !req
641. I've got my mom and my sister.
Copy !req
642. Oh!
Copy !req
643. - They look so beautiful!
- Hello, Pills!
Copy !req
644. Hello.
Copy !req
645. Thank you for being here.
Copy !req
646. Now, who's the mother
and who's the daughter?
Copy !req
647. I can't tell.
Copy !req
648. - Mom.
- You're the mom.
Copy !req
649. Mother Pill, what's it been like
to watch Willow's journey?
Copy !req
650. It has been the most
meaningful experience.
Copy !req
651. So much joy,
so much fun and craziness,
Copy !req
652. along with some tears
in the more vulnerable moments.
Copy !req
653. And Sister Pill, is it true
that you help Willow shop?
Copy !req
654. It is true.
Copy !req
655. We actually shopped together
Copy !req
656. for her very first
drag performance.
Copy !req
657. It was not at H&M,
but it was at Forever 21.
Copy !req
658. I love H&M, by the way.
Copy !req
659. Yeah, you're like
my sister and I,
Copy !req
660. but we used to
shoplift together.
Copy !req
661. Yeah.
Copy !req
662. All right,
final question, Willow.
Copy !req
663. Now, if an alien landed on Earth
Copy !req
664. and asked you
what a drag queen is,
Copy !req
665. what would you say?
Copy !req
666. I would say mental illness
and rhinestones.
Copy !req
667. It's true.
Copy !req
668. It's funny because it's true.
Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
669. Well, Willow, thank you
for reminding us
Copy !req
670. that great things
come in Willow packages.
Copy !req
671. Give it up for Willow Pill!
Copy !req
672. Are you Team Willow Pill?
Copy !req
673. Sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
674. Coming up,
a special performance
Copy !req
675. by the cast
ofRuPaul's Drag Race Live,
Copy !req
676. brought to you
by Bubly Sparkling Water.
Copy !req
677. Mmm, cherry
is my favorite flavor.
Copy !req
678. And we're about
to announce the top two queens
Copy !req
679. that will face off in the final
lip sync for the crown,
Copy !req
680. when the grand finale of
RuPaul's Drag Race continues
Copy !req
681. from Las Vegas.
Copy !req
682. Bubly Sparkling Water presents
Copy !req
683. the cast ofDrag Race Live
Copy !req
684. as they see the Bubly side,
Copy !req
685. withLosing
is the New Winning.
Copy !req
686. I'm still that bitch, bitch.
Copy !req
687. Las Vegas
is a city in drag
Copy !req
688. and the home
to one legendary queen:
Copy !req
689. Hot Chocolate
AKA Larry Edwards.
Copy !req
690. Born in Fort Myers, Florida,
Copy !req
691. Hot Chocolate was crowned
Miss Gay America in 1980.
Copy !req
692. She moved to Vegas
seven years later,
Copy !req
693. and Sin City
has never been the same.
Copy !req
694. As the world's number one
Tina Turner impersonator,
Copy !req
695. her charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent
Copy !req
696. is simply the best.
Copy !req
697. On stage, TV, or the movies,
Copy !req
698. Hot Chocolate
always makes a splash.
Copy !req
699. But if you ask fans,
family, and friends,
Copy !req
700. her greatest accomplishment
is her winning attitude.
Copy !req
701. For inspiring generations
Copy !req
702. of Vegas queens
and queer performers,
Copy !req
703. tonightRuPaul's Drag Race
gives a big, "Hey, girl, hey,"
Copy !req
704. to one of the greatest
of all time: Hot Chocolate.
Copy !req
705. Give it up for Hot Chocolate!
Copy !req
706. I love you.
What a star.
Copy !req
707. What a great star
and a lovely person.
Copy !req
708. Now, the time has come
to bring back my girls.
Copy !req
709. My queens,
I want to thank you all
Copy !req
710. for serving drag excellence
all season long.
Copy !req
711. But tonight, only two of you
will be moving forward
Copy !req
712. to the final
lip sync for the crown.
Copy !req
713. Based on your performances
tonight,
Copy !req
714. I've made some decisions.
Copy !req
715. Ooh!
- Oh, my God!
Copy !req
716. The first queen I have chosen
to lip sync for the crown is...
Copy !req
717. Lady Camden.
Copy !req
718. Con-drag-ulations, Lady Camden.
Copy !req
719. And the second queen
Copy !req
720. I have chosen to lip sync
for the crown is...
Copy !req
721. Willow Pill.
Copy !req
722. Yes!
Copy !req
723. Con-drag-ulations!
Copy !req
724. Now, Lady Camden
and Willow Pill,
Copy !req
725. get ready to lip sync
your padded asses off.
Copy !req
726. Go on, get ready.
Copy !req
727. Angeria, Bosco, Daya Betty,
Copy !req
728. thank you from
the bottom of my heart
Copy !req
729. for a truly
unforgettable season.
Copy !req
730. Audience,
give it up for my girls!
Copy !req
731. Are you Team Lady Camden
Copy !req
732. or Team Willow Pill?
Copy !req
733. Sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
734. Coming up, LaLa Ri announces
this year's Miss Congeniality.
Copy !req
735. And the return of our reigning
drag superstar Symone,
Copy !req
736. all when the grand finale of
RuPaul's Drag Race continues
Copy !req
737. from Las Vegas.
Copy !req
738. All hail
Copy !req
739. America's reigning
drag superstar...
Copy !req
740. Symone!
Copy !req
741. Yes, yes, yes!
Copy !req
742. Hey, babies!
Copy !req
743. Hey, queens!
Copy !req
744. - Hi!
Copy !req
745. It is my honor
to be sharing the stage
Copy !req
746. with the queens of Season 14.
Copy !req
747. I mean, wasn't it
a great season, y'all?
Copy !req
748. Now, if I could live this year
all over again,
Copy !req
749. I wouldn't change a thing.
Copy !req
750. As America's
next drag superstar,
Copy !req
751. I got to attend the MET Gala...
Copy !req
752. Meet Queen Madonna...
Copy !req
753. And I got interviewed
on Jimmy Kimmel Liveby RuPaul.
Copy !req
754. But the most important thing
I've learned this year
Copy !req
755. is that winning is great,
but being kind is everything.
Copy !req
756. So please
help me welcome back
Copy !req
757. Season 13's Miss Congeniality,
