1. Previously on
"RuPaul's Drag Race"...
Copy !req
2. You need to transform
Copy !req
3. these educators into glamazons.
Copy !req
4. Ooh.
Copy !req
5. Loosey LaDuca.
Copy !req
6. I felt like you were both
doing something separate.
Copy !req
7. And you needed to
have that chemistry
Copy !req
8. to keep you together.
Copy !req
9. Luxx Noir London.
Copy !req
10. I see zero
family resemblance.
Copy !req
11. Anetra.
Copy !req
12. Your presentation was just
so polished and refined.
Copy !req
13. Condragulations,
you're the winner
Copy !req
14. of this week's challenge.
Copy !req
15. Luxx Noir London,
shantay, you stay.
Copy !req
16. Loosey, sashay away.
Copy !req
17. We walk back
into the Werkroom
Copy !req
18. after I send Loosey home.
Copy !req
19. And the only thing I'm
thinking is, sorry, Heaven.
Copy !req
20. You tried.
Copy !req
21. "Das up.
Copy !req
22. "Love you hookers.
Copy !req
23. Don't forget to let Loose."
Copy !req
24. - Aw.
- Aw, Loose.
Copy !req
25. She was fierce competition.
Copy !req
26. But when you play
a dirty game,
Copy !req
27. sometimes
you get dirty results.
Copy !req
28. Loosey's strategy
did not really work out
Copy !req
29. in the way that she thought
it was going to.
Copy !req
30. Why did you choose to give
Sasha's person to Sasha?
Copy !req
31. Because she didn't say that
I'm not creative or unique.
Copy !req
32. Karma is a dish
best served cold.
Copy !req
33. You thought you got me.
Copy !req
34. Whose face is the egg on now?
Copy !req
35. Not mine, yours.
Copy !req
36. But I respect her
for playing the game.
Copy !req
37. And I respect her for finally...
Copy !req
38. I was just about to say.
Copy !req
39. Admitting to the fact
that she is playing the game.
Copy !req
40. We give her her props.
She finally was honest.
Copy !req
41. You can't deny that Loosey
was a fierce competitor.
Copy !req
42. But regardless,
one bitch closer to the crown.
Copy !req
43. I think that it's time...
Copy !req
44. - Let loose, baby.
- To wipe
Copy !req
45. and let Loosey loose.
- Let loose.
Copy !req
46. That was a good one, right?
Copy !req
47. Being in the bottom two
so close to the end
Copy !req
48. was a crazy feeling.
Copy !req
49. There was a slight chance
that I could have gone home.
Copy !req
50. That completely did not
make sense with my fantasy.
Copy !req
51. We're all losing our minds.
Copy !req
52. I feel it in my heart that
I need to be in the finale.
Copy !req
53. Congratulations, bitch.
You won.
Copy !req
54. - Thank you.
- Two in a row.
Copy !req
55. - You got it.
- So you won three challenges.
Copy !req
56. Three is too many!
Copy !req
57. This is insane
winning back to back.
Copy !req
58. I'm right neck
and neck with Sasha Colby,
Copy !req
59. which feels right.
Copy !req
60. All that's left for me
to win is the crown.
Copy !req
61. Bitch, it's top
four tease for me.
Copy !req
62. - Top four.
- Top four.
Copy !req
63. Bitch.
Copy !req
64. I've been visualizing this...
Copy !req
65. moment forever.
Copy !req
66. I've been nailing everything.
Copy !req
67. But there is a moment where
I'm thinking, like, ooh,
Copy !req
68. is the other shoe
gonna drop?
Copy !req
69. Like, all three of these girls
are tapping on my ass.
Copy !req
70. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
71. This is wild.
Copy !req
72. We still have one
more challenge left,
Copy !req
73. and eye on that prize.
Copy !req
74. Eye on the grand finale.
Copy !req
75. I see you.
Copy !req
76. You're mine,
and I'm coming to get you.
Copy !req
77. Ooh, just all this booty.
Copy !req
78. Bring out all that ass.
Copy !req
79. It's like a little pig.
Copy !req
80. The winner of
"RuPaul's Drag Race"
Copy !req
81. receives a one-year supply
Copy !req
82. of Anastasia
Beverly Hills cosmetics
Copy !req
83. and a gag-worthy grand prize
of $200,000,
Copy !req
84. served by Cash App.
Copy !req
85. - Top four, bitches.
- Yes.
Copy !req
86. - All right.
Copy !req
87. I think that the top four
Copy !req
88. is exactly how
I envisioned it from the jump.
Copy !req
89. And for once, I feel like
I can finally just let go.
Copy !req
90. So I am kind of
letting myself breathe
Copy !req
91. for once in the competition.
Copy !req
92. - Ooh, girl!
- Yes.
Copy !req
93. She done already
done had herses.
Copy !req
94. Let's get it, bitch.
Let's go.
Copy !req
95. Last one.
Copy !req
96. My top girls...
Copy !req
97. It's the final lap
in a heated race,
Copy !req
98. last dance, last chance
to serve some face.
Copy !req
99. The finale beckons.
Copy !req
100. There's a crown to mob.
Copy !req
101. So which bitch is leaving?
Copy !req
102. And who's on top?
Copy !req
103. No way.
Copy !req
104. Hello, hello, hello.
Copy !req
105. You're stupid.
Copy !req
106. My fantastic four,
Copy !req
107. now, over the course
of this season,
Copy !req
108. your charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent
Copy !req
109. has been pulled, poked,
Copy !req
110. and prodded like never before.
Copy !req
111. Well, I don't know
you personally, but...
Copy !req
112. And now that we are in
the final stretch,
Copy !req
113. you need to prove that you are
the baddest bitch of them all.
Copy !req
114. Are you up for the challenge?
Copy !req
115. What do you think?
Copy !req
116. For your final
Maxi Challenge,
Copy !req
117. you'll be collabing with me
Copy !req
118. on the season 15
remix of my song,
Copy !req
119. "Blame It on the Edit."
Copy !req
120. Ooh.
Copy !req
121. Ooh!
Copy !req
122. Now, Ru clocking us, honey.
Copy !req
123. This song is a shady song
because the girls
Copy !req
124. love to blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
125. First, you need to write
and record
Copy !req
126. your own sassy verses.
Copy !req
127. And then you'll be
working with
Copy !req
128. "Drag Race" choreographer
Miguel Zarate
Copy !req
129. to create a space-themed
music video extravaganza.
Copy !req
130. Ooh!
Copy !req
131. It's a music video!
Copy !req
132. Ah!
Copy !req
133. I get to be in
a RuPaul music video.
Copy !req
134. Like, this is what I do.
This is what I do.
Copy !req
135. Meanwhile,
back here on Earth,
Copy !req
136. each of you
is cordially invited
Copy !req
137. to join Michelle Visage and me
Copy !req
138. for an intimate
Tic Tac chitchat.
Copy !req
139. Love that.
Copy !req
140. Now, remember,
only three of you
Copy !req
141. will be going through
to the grand finale.
Copy !req
142. So whatever happens this week,
Copy !req
143. don't it up.
Copy !req
144. - Gag me.
- Oh, my God.
Copy !req
145. Honestly, I am gagged
because I thought
Copy !req
146. that we were at the top.
Copy !req
147. There hasn't been a top three
Copy !req
148. since season eight
of "Drag Race,"
Copy !req
149. so the stakes are higher
than Anetra and Sasha
Copy !req
150. in that comedy challenge.
Copy !req
151. Racers, start your engines.
Copy !req
152. And may the best
drag queen win.
Copy !req
153. All right, divas.
Copy !req
154. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
155. I'm gonna take
a listen to the song.
Copy !req
156. That might be
a smart thing to do.
Copy !req
157. Y'all haven't heard
the hit song
Copy !req
158. "Blame It on the Edit" before?
Wow.
Copy !req
159. We are writing our own verse
to "Blame It on the Edit."
Copy !req
160. And I am ready to cut up
because everyone knows
Copy !req
161. this is a shady song.
Copy !req
162. And who better
than to be featured?
Copy !req
163. As far as the verse, I feel
like it'll be pretty solid.
Copy !req
164. Yeah, I feel good at writing.
Copy !req
165. - Yeah.
- And, like, you know,
Copy !req
166. I know words.
Copy !req
167. The inspiration
for my verse...
Copy !req
168. I really wanted to
write something that
Copy !req
169. was sexy, dips into the vogue.
Copy !req
170. Did you see what I did there?
Copy !req
171. I think it's me.
It's totally me.
Copy !req
172. But you write music,
like, all the time, right?
Copy !req
173. Yeah, like, I kind
of, like, do this.
Copy !req
174. I'm very excited
for this challenge.
Copy !req
175. I just love writing,
like, bitch track verses.
Copy !req
176. Yes.
Copy !req
177. And it's very, like,
a bitch track verse.
Copy !req
178. This is the last chance
that the judges have
Copy !req
179. to see what we can do.
Copy !req
180. And I am just so excited to
finally be a video vixen.
Copy !req
181. I'm gonna kill
the choreography.
Copy !req
182. My verse is Denosha Dupree.
Copy !req
183. It's gonna give today, mama.
Copy !req
184. My verse is pretty
much, like, written.
Copy !req
185. So, like, I see
where this is going.
Copy !req
186. Luxx's strength
is her crazy confidence.
Copy !req
187. That also could be
Luxx's biggest weakness.
Copy !req
188. Your drag delusion confidence
Copy !req
189. has got you to this point, bitch.
Copy !req
190. But you can never
get too comfortable
Copy !req
191. because, baby, all it takes
is one slip-up,
Copy !req
192. and then you are gone.
Copy !req
193. Luxx, are you asleep?
Copy !req
194. Luxx is sleeping, child.
Copy !req
195. Shh, don't wake her up.
Copy !req
196. You come across as
very, very confident.
Copy !req
197. If you're gonna be
a bitch, then be a bitch.
Copy !req
198. We call that
an undercover.
Copy !req
199. That's when I really started
Copy !req
200. to try and make
meaning of life.
Copy !req
201. And what does it all mean?
Copy !req
202. What is it all for?
- Wow.
Copy !req
203. That was the, um...
Copy !req
204. hardest thing I've ever
had to deal with.
Copy !req
205. - Hi, Sasha.
- Aw.
Copy !req
206. Hello, hello.
Copy !req
207. Hi, Sasha Colby.
Copy !req
208. Hi, you both.
Copy !req
209. It is time to have
the Tic Tac chitchat
Copy !req
210. with RuPaul
and Michelle Visage,
Copy !req
211. up close in person,
with a lovely pile of Tic Tacs.
Copy !req
212. I'm so excited.
Copy !req
213. Welcome to the
Sasha Colby meet-and-greet.
Copy !req
214. - Oh, feels good.
Copy !req
215. When did you come here
from Hawaii?
Copy !req
216. 20 years ago.
Copy !req
217. I went to Chicago for a bit.
- Oh, really?
Copy !req
218. And then I was in Orlando.
Copy !req
219. And then I finally
made it to LA.
Copy !req
220. Did you work at The Baton?
Copy !req
221. - For about six years.
- Six years?
Copy !req
222. Yeah, five nights a week,
three shows a night.
Copy !req
223. - That's exhausting.
- Wow!
Copy !req
224. Yeah, I moved there
to kind of learn
Copy !req
225. from the best of the best.
Copy !req
226. - Yes, Mimi Marks.
- Mimi Marks, Monica Munro.
Copy !req
227. Chilli Pepper.
Copy !req
228. Chilli Pepper,
the first Continental.
Copy !req
229. Have you struggled
at all in this competition?
Copy !req
230. I have, I have.
Copy !req
231. Internally, there was a
lot of that inner saboteur,
Copy !req
232. really feeling like I won
two challenges in a row,
Copy !req
233. two Maxi Challenges.
Copy !req
234. And the first thing
that came to my mind
Copy !req
235. was, oh, oh, no, the girls
are gonna hate me.
Copy !req
236. Like, I feel, like, weird.
Copy !req
237. Like, I feel like someone
else should get it.
Copy !req
238. Like, I was willing to let
go of my personal triumphs
Copy !req
239. to just have, like,
that quick fix
Copy !req
240. of being liked by everyone.
Copy !req
241. Why do I need that?
Copy !req
242. I was really trying
to get down deep,
Copy !req
243. and it really
came to acceptance
Copy !req
244. as a child from my family,
and my mom particularly.
Copy !req
245. Everything I did...
Copy !req
246. was always just to,
like, have my mom
Copy !req
247. say she loves me, and, like,
I would never get it.
Copy !req
248. And all the pageants I do
Copy !req
249. and all the, like,
challenges here
Copy !req
250. has just been for them to
say that they're proud of me.
Copy !req
251. And I'll never get it
from my mom.
Copy !req
252. I'll never get it.
Copy !req
253. When did that
realization come?
Copy !req
254. It actually happened...
it was a growing process
Copy !req
255. from when
my father had passed away
Copy !req
256. about six years ago.
Copy !req
257. He had hung himself at 80.
Copy !req
258. Wow.
Copy !req
259. He was such a good man.
Copy !req
260. He was like
my biggest ally, and...
Copy !req
261. that was the, uh...
Copy !req
262. Hardest thing I've ever
had to deal with.
Copy !req
263. We just are left with
so many questions...
Copy !req
264. because my father
had actually left me
Copy !req
265. everything when he passed.
Copy !req
266. As the queer,
as what we call in Hawaii
Copy !req
267. the mahu, being entrusted
Copy !req
268. with this generational land,
Copy !req
269. it felt like Pop's,
like, seal of approval.
Copy !req
270. And that's when
I really started to
Copy !req
271. try and make meaning of life,
and what does it all mean?
Copy !req
272. What is it all for?
Copy !req
273. It took, like, going
really, really, really deep
Copy !req
274. and doing a lot of work.
Copy !req
275. There is survivor's remorse.
Copy !req
276. But a part of that equation
has to be
Copy !req
277. letting go of older tapes
and thoughts.
Copy !req
278. - Yes.
- There's so much abundance.
Copy !req
279. There's so much abundance.
Copy !req
280. And you kind sort of
feel guilty about it.
Copy !req
281. I mean, look at
Michelle's cheekbones.
Copy !req
282. I mean...
Copy !req
283. She got too much.
Copy !req
284. She really did.
- Well...
Copy !req
285. I can't wait for my
abundance of cheekbones.
Copy !req
286. And the next
chapter has arrived.
Copy !req
287. And it's like my world
is just so open right now.
Copy !req
288. With everything that
I've accomplished here,
Copy !req
289. I feel like I could
do anything.
Copy !req
290. - You can.
- Anything.
Copy !req
291. You absolutely can.
Copy !req
292. We see it.
Copy !req
293. - Thank you, Sasha.
- Thank you so much.
Copy !req
294. Thank you both.
- Thank you so much.
Copy !req
295. Good luck.
- Bye!
Copy !req
296. - Hi, Anetra.
- Hello.
Copy !req
297. Hi, Anetra.
Copy !req
298. You're so different from the
Anetra who walks this runway.
Copy !req
299. - Oh, yeah.
- You're very soft spoken.
Copy !req
300. Have you always been that way?
- Yeah, I grew up Mormon.
Copy !req
301. - Mormon?
- Ooh.
Copy !req
302. With the way
that I grew up...
Copy !req
303. I felt that I had to be
that way,
Copy !req
304. especially with my own
queerness and not feeling...
Copy !req
305. You had to be quiet.
Copy !req
306. Yeah, not feeling comfortable
and right to be myself.
Copy !req
307. Mm.
Copy !req
308. So I think that,
when I grew up,
Copy !req
309. that's just the
person that I became.
Copy !req
310. Yeah.
Copy !req
311. Anetra, for me,
was like a place
Copy !req
312. for me to express everything
and do everything and...
Copy !req
313. - Yeah.
- Go ham.
Copy !req
314. - Can we please...
- Yes.
Copy !req
315. Talk about that
lip sync?
Copy !req
316. Can we talk about
that lip sync?
Copy !req
317. You flipped over Marcia.
Copy !req
318. I just remember...
and I had a moment.
Copy !req
319. I was like, do I do it?
Copy !req
320. And before, like, I could
even complete the thought,
Copy !req
321. I was already over top of her.
Copy !req
322. It was just,
I'm gonna say,
Copy !req
323. - Shut up.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
324. Are you kidding me?
Copy !req
325. It was phenomenal.
Copy !req
326. Thank you.
Copy !req
327. And you better
walk that.
Copy !req
328. - Yes, ma'am.
- That's right.
Copy !req
329. Where did you
learn how to vogue?
Copy !req
330. Me and my sister Salem,
we used to just be
Copy !req
331. in the dressing room, like...
Copy !req
332. we would just put a voguing
track on and start wacking.
Copy !req
333. - This is in Vegas?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
334. We don't really have a
ballroom scene in Vegas.
Copy !req
335. I feel like a lot of, like,
my love for the ballroom scene
Copy !req
336. is just from, like,
watching videos on YouTube.
Copy !req
337. But it's just a style of
art that I love so much.
Copy !req
338. It's much like drag.
Copy !req
339. Like, it has that
sense of community,
Copy !req
340. and they obviously
cross paths very often.
Copy !req
341. You've lip-synched
several times.
Copy !req
342. You've interpreted the material
Copy !req
343. in a way that only you can.
Copy !req
344. And so we're watching this
magic actually happen.
Copy !req
345. It's just
creative expression,
Copy !req
346. and it's like the thing
that I love the most.
Copy !req
347. What would winning
"Drag Race" mean to you?
Copy !req
348. Winning "Drag Race"
would mean
Copy !req
349. all of the tribulations
and trials
Copy !req
350. that I have gone through
would be worth it.
Copy !req
351. And it would mean
everything, period.
Copy !req
352. We witnessed you
come out of your shell.
Copy !req
353. Over the course of
this competition,
Copy !req
354. it's been a joy to
watch you blossom.
Copy !req
355. Thank you.
Copy !req
356. - Well, hello, Mistress.
- Hi.
Copy !req
357. - Mistress, how are you?
- I'm doing well.
Copy !req
358. You are a queen
who is very outspoken,
Copy !req
359. not afraid to speak her mind.
Copy !req
360. Where does that come from?
Copy !req
361. As a kid, I was never
allowed to be like that.
Copy !req
362. So when I finally
found my voice
Copy !req
363. and found where I belonged
in the world, I was like,
Copy !req
364. it's better to be outspoken
than to be thinking
Copy !req
365. and replaying it in your
head because, for me,
Copy !req
366. personally, if I feel
some type of way,
Copy !req
367. I'm that girl who will
replay it, and replay it,
Copy !req
368. and replay it until,
like, it explodes.
Copy !req
369. - Yes.
- So I would rather get it out
Copy !req
370. in the open right now.
Copy !req
371. Which is
the healthy way to do it.
Copy !req
372. It's the healthiest
way to do it.
Copy !req
373. Absolutely.
Copy !req
374. But sometimes people
are not ready to hear that.
Copy !req
375. Has that helped you
or hurt you?
Copy !req
376. It's gotten me in
trouble here and there.
Copy !req
377. - In this competition?
- Most definitely.
Copy !req
378. - With who?
- Especially with girls
Copy !req
379. like Loosey,
we kinda had a bit of tension
Copy !req
380. because there was times where
Copy !req
381. she would act different
off camera
Copy !req
382. when we were not in the
public eye with people,
Copy !req
383. and she would say
the same exact things
Copy !req
384. I was saying
but getting heat for.
Copy !req
385. So I was seeing
two sides of her,
Copy !req
386. and I really don't
like that from people.
Copy !req
387. If you're gonna be a bitch,
just be a bitch.
Copy !req
388. We call that an
undercover.
Copy !req
389. Noted.
Copy !req
390. When you walked
into the Werkroom
Copy !req
391. the very first episode,
what were you thinking?
Copy !req
392. What was going
through your mind?
Copy !req
393. I knew coming in that
I wanted to be competition.
Copy !req
394. I wanted to just have fun
and, like, not care about
Copy !req
395. what would happen outside.
Copy !req
396. This is everything I dreamt
of and everything I've ever
Copy !req
397. wanted, especially with,
like, everything I've
Copy !req
398. been through with my family.
Copy !req
399. They've always
kind of let me down.
Copy !req
400. I've had times in my life where
I've literally had nothing.
Copy !req
401. So, like...
Copy !req
402. being here, I wanted to make
sure that, like,
Copy !req
403. I was not only making
my drag family proud,
Copy !req
404. making my hometown proud,
but making myself proud.
Copy !req
405. You have your drag family.
Copy !req
406. And what are they gonna
think about your time here?
Copy !req
407. My drag mother
is Chevelle Brooks.
Copy !req
408. She was one of
the first big girls
Copy !req
409. to win a major national
title for, like,
Copy !req
410. a skinny girl pageant.
Copy !req
411. She won Miss USofA 2000.
Copy !req
412. And she kind of like
really changed drag
Copy !req
413. and the outlook on
plus-sized drag entertainers.
Copy !req
414. Coming here,
I had to make sure
Copy !req
415. that I'm gonna carry on
the legacy.
Copy !req
416. When I got my message
in "Untucked" from her,
Copy !req
417. first thing she said was,
Copy !req
418. "You better not be out
there embarrassing me."
Copy !req
419. And that was the first thing
she told me—
Copy !req
420. don't act a fool.
So sorry, mama.
Copy !req
421. Cut up
a little bit too much.
Copy !req
422. Yes.
That ship has sailed.
Copy !req
423. But she's gonna be happy
because I feel like I've came,
Copy !req
424. and I did everything
Copy !req
425. I told her I was going to.
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
426. What Mistress era
are we in right now?
Copy !req
427. We are in the top three era.
Copy !req
428. Well, thank you so much
for talking to us.
Copy !req
429. I would offer you a Tic Tac,
Copy !req
430. but, you know,
they're about 15 years old.
Copy !req
431. Don't worry.
I'll steal something else
Copy !req
432. to make up for it.
Copy !req
433. Aha, look at this outfit.
Copy !req
434. Look at this,
doing the Garden State proud.
Copy !req
435. Oh, my.
You wearing these outfits...
Copy !req
436. did you have everything
planned out when you came here?
Copy !req
437. I did.
Copy !req
438. I wanted every outfit that
I wore on the main stage
Copy !req
439. and off the main stage
to be a fashion moment.
Copy !req
440. You know, any opportunity
to be on the grand stage
Copy !req
441. of the world,
you wanna look your best.
Copy !req
442. That's absolutely right.
Copy !req
443. Did you go to
East Orange High School?
Copy !req
444. No, I went to Cicely
L. Tyson School for...
Copy !req
445. - Cicely Tyson High School?
- School for Perform—
Copy !req
446. There's a
Cicely Tyson High School?
Copy !req
447. School of
the Performing Arts.
Copy !req
448. School of the
Performing Arts.
Copy !req
449. - Cicely Tyson?
- Yes.
Copy !req
450. Fabulous.
Copy !req
451. I've met her
a couple of times.
Copy !req
452. I shook her hand.
Copy !req
453. Cicely Tyson is an
African-American actress
Copy !req
454. who has a legacy
that is beyond measure.
Copy !req
455. She really was a pioneer
for so many Black actresses.
Copy !req
456. She is that girl...
Copy !req
457. well, she was. Ooh.
Copy !req
458. You know, as you
speak of being a kid
Copy !req
459. and being creative like this,
my heart fills with
Copy !req
460. so much joy and love
because I think, oh,
Copy !req
461. I would love to have a baby boy
who could do all that stuff.
Copy !req
462. But then my second thought
is, oh, the world is so mean.
Copy !req
463. How have you been
able to navigate
Copy !req
464. some of the not-so-nice
bits of being such a star?
Copy !req
465. I was kind of raised to
tackle situations head first.
Copy !req
466. My parents conditioned me to
think very highly of myself.
Copy !req
467. People ask where I get
my confidence from.
Copy !req
468. It really is my parents.
Copy !req
469. They would always tell me
that you have to be
Copy !req
470. a leader and not a follower.
Copy !req
471. And you can be
proud of yourself
Copy !req
472. and your accomplishments.
Copy !req
473. It is very important
for Black queer people
Copy !req
474. to be very confident
because there's
Copy !req
475. always going to be
someone telling us
Copy !req
476. that we shouldn't be.
Copy !req
477. I know that there
are going to be people
Copy !req
478. who have things to say.
Copy !req
479. But it's my sole mission
to live my life fearlessly
Copy !req
480. and freely...
- Right.
Copy !req
481. Kind of as,
like, a, you know,
Copy !req
482. slap to the face to everybody
who told me I couldn't.
Copy !req
483. You're a...
you're a good kid.
Copy !req
484. You're confident.
You're bright.
Copy !req
485. You're very smart.
I'm so excited for you, Luxx.
Copy !req
486. You have such a bright future.
Copy !req
487. Thank you, darling.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
488. It is just the
craziest feeling ever
Copy !req
489. to be receiving this
sort of validation
Copy !req
490. from the person
who inspires everything
Copy !req
491. that you've done
in your career
Copy !req
492. from the moment
you started to now.
Copy !req
493. Blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
494. And blame it on the edit, and...
Copy !req
495. Mistress, you need
to be like, it.
Copy !req
496. Start performing.
Copy !req
497. Yeah, I'm not confident
because I don't know it.
Copy !req
498. You just gonna give it
to these bitches?
Copy !req
499. Or you're gonna fight for it?
Copy !req
500. It's the survival
of the fiercest.
Copy !req
501. Hey, queens.
Copy !req
502. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
503. It is time to shoot
Copy !req
504. the "Blame It on the Edit"
music video.
Copy !req
505. But first, we have to learn
the choreography.
Copy !req
506. I'm the new Abby Lee Miller.
Dance School for Queens.
Copy !req
507. I am so excited to
star alongside RuPaul
Copy !req
508. in the music video.
Copy !req
509. Wait, did I say star?
I meant co-star.
Copy !req
510. Today, we are shooting scenes
Copy !req
511. for your "Blame It on the Edit"
music video.
Copy !req
512. I'm so excited to be
working with you ladies
Copy !req
513. again on this final challenge.
Copy !req
514. You really need to leave
it all on this stage today
Copy !req
515. and let us have it.
Copy !req
516. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
517. All right,
let's learn some choreography.
Copy !req
518. I know we're
all ready to do this.
Copy !req
519. We have fought our way here.
Copy !req
520. We have stood our ground.
Copy !req
521. Give us the choreo, baby.
No mercy.
Copy !req
522. So, ladies,
I'm looking for some
Copy !req
523. sci-fi hood girl realness.
Copy !req
524. And it's clean lines but
with a lot of personality,
Copy !req
525. but definitely keeping
it in outer space.
Copy !req
526. Here we go.
Copy !req
527. You're gonna step out with
your left foot on seven, eight.
Copy !req
528. You're gonna
brush your shoulders.
Copy !req
529. Seven, eight, snap, one,
and step to the left.
Copy !req
530. And then you're
gonna go three, four, five.
Copy !req
531. I'm kind of nervous
because the choreography
Copy !req
532. has me very concerned.
Copy !req
533. And I'm looking around,
Copy !req
534. and I have three
fierce bitches next to me.
Copy !req
535. Blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
536. And...
Copy !req
537. There's no more
hiding behind someone
Copy !req
538. and hoping someone's
worse than you.
Copy !req
539. You have to be the best, or
you're in the bottom, period.
Copy !req
540. Mistress, make sure that
you step on that left foot
Copy !req
541. because you're looking a
little lost at the beginning.
Copy !req
542. So make sure you go
left with the right.
Copy !req
543. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
544. Oppose the left foot
with the right hand.
Copy !req
545. Right hand,
left hand, right hand.
Copy !req
546. And then go left hand,
right hand, left hand.
Copy !req
547. Great, Luxx.
Copy !req
548. From the top. Let's go.
Copy !req
549. Blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
550. And blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
551. And shake it to the right.
Copy !req
552. Step, crack, crack.
Copy !req
553. Uh-huh, so, Mistress,
just the step, snap, snap.
Copy !req
554. I'm not making excuses.
Copy !req
555. This is a very
restricting costume.
Copy !req
556. Even little hands then...
Copy !req
557. blame it on the...
keep it little.
Copy !req
558. Just keep it the attitude.
Copy !req
559. Don't be shy about
this now, yeah?
Copy !req
560. Especially in that outfit.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
561. All right.
Copy !req
562. She's saying the costume
is too constricting.
Copy !req
563. But I think that's just trying
to buy her some time
Copy !req
564. so she can
learn the choreography.
Copy !req
565. Five, six,
blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
566. And blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
567. And seven.
Copy !req
568. Shake it to the left.
Shake it to the right.
Copy !req
569. Down, up, up.
Copy !req
570. Yes, Sasha.
I like that down.
Copy !req
571. Down, but then really
bring this arm up.
Copy !req
572. Yes.
Copy !req
573. Sasha, A-plus.
Copy !req
574. That looked great.
Copy !req
575. So as we're going on,
I'm looking around,
Copy !req
576. and everyone's kind of
getting the choreography.
Copy !req
577. Throw it.
Step around.
Copy !req
578. Grab it in.
Copy !req
579. I am trying
my best to keep up.
Copy !req
580. But I can't help but think, like,
Copy !req
581. I'm already it up.
Copy !req
582. Shake it to the right.
Copy !req
583. Step, snap, snap.
Copy !req
584. Interpretation.
Copy !req
585. I don't know how
I'm gonna flip this
Copy !req
586. and make it a success story.
Copy !req
587. Mistress, it's not bad,
but it lacks confidence.
Copy !req
588. Yeah, I'm not confident
because I don't know it.
Copy !req
589. But you know what,
at this point,
Copy !req
590. you have enough details
to where you need to be
Copy !req
591. like, it,
start performing.
Copy !req
592. Speaking of performing,
let's do it.
Copy !req
593. It's time to shoot the video.
Copy !req
594. We move real fast
Copy !req
595. on the set
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
596. We rehearse, and we film.
Copy !req
597. That's what we're gonna do.
Copy !req
598. So let's start with the
first two, Anetra and Luxx.
Copy !req
599. The fact that we just
learned the choreography,
Copy !req
600. and not even two minutes later
we have to film the video
Copy !req
601. is absolutely bonkers
but kind of sickening.
Copy !req
602. It's the survival
of the fiercest.
Copy !req
603. Now, ladies, we are shooting,
Copy !req
604. and we're gonna do
a couple of takes.
Copy !req
605. That being said, every take
needs to be to be at 1,000
Copy !req
606. because you never know which
they're gonna use in edit.
Copy !req
607. - Don't blame it on the edit.
- Okay.
Copy !req
608. I can pump and vogue
the house down.
Copy !req
609. But picking up choreography is
a little bit different for me.
Copy !req
610. I've got it,
but I haven't got it.
Copy !req
611. So...
Copy !req
612. All right, here we go.
Copy !req
613. Anetra, Anetra, Anetra,
Anetra, Anetra, Anetra...
Copy !req
614. like, you could see
the worry on her face.
Copy !req
615. Luxx, great.
Copy !req
616. - Thank you.
- Okay, Anetra.
Copy !req
617. I don't want you
looking frightened like deer
Copy !req
618. caught in the headlights.
Copy !req
619. You watched the—
Copy !req
620. one of the most
iconic videos, "Scream."
Copy !req
621. It needs that Janet energy.
Copy !req
622. Bring Ms. Jackson
to the forefront.
Copy !req
623. Well, if you're nasty.
Copy !req
624. I want Janet served hot.
Copy !req
625. Do it for Janet.
Copy !req
626. Yes, justice for Janet.
Copy !req
627. - Our queen.
- Ow.
Copy !req
628. Here we go.
Copy !req
629. - What happened, Luxx?
- I lost a nail.
Copy !req
630. - A nail?
- And it's white,
Copy !req
631. so it's gonna be
impossible to find.
Copy !req
632. - Jesus.
- Crunch.
Copy !req
633. This looks like a
white party-afters.
Copy !req
634. - Right?
Copy !req
635. Make sure it's
not in your outfit.
Copy !req
636. - Is it?
- Told you.
Copy !req
637. All right, music's on.
Copy !req
638. Remember who you girls are.
Copy !req
639. - That part.
- The one.
Copy !req
640. Girl.
Copy !req
641. Let's go.
Copy !req
642. - Yeah!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
643. Nasty?
Copy !req
644. All right,
you two have a seat.
Copy !req
645. I feel really good
about what I did.
Copy !req
646. I think I ate
every aspect of it.
Copy !req
647. I'm so full right now.
Copy !req
648. I kind of crushed it.
Copy !req
649. Sasha Colby,
Mistress Isabelle Brooks.
Copy !req
650. Barb Wyre has joined us.
Copy !req
651. I'm feeling
my fantasy, honey.
Copy !req
652. Barb Wyre comes again.
Copy !req
653. This time, it'll be a hit.
Copy !req
654. All right, music.
Here we go.
Copy !req
655. Get it, Isabelle.
Come on.
Copy !req
656. Sasha is nailing
the choreography.
Copy !req
657. I'm not surprised.
She's an amazing dancer.
Copy !req
658. Mistress is having
a bit of a hard time,
Copy !req
659. and I can kind of just see her
getting in her head about it.
Copy !req
660. And she needs to get out.
Copy !req
661. - You all right, Mistress?
Copy !req
662. You in your head?
- No, I'm just a fat bitch.
Copy !req
663. I'm out of breath.
Copy !req
664. You just gonna give it
to these bitches?
Copy !req
665. Or you gonna fight for it?
- No, that's what I'm saying.
Copy !req
666. I'm ready to, like...
Copy !req
667. I'm... yeah, I'ma get it.
Copy !req
668. no, I'm not gonna
just give it to them.
Copy !req
669. Regardless if I know
the choreography or not,
Copy !req
670. I am about to get up and twirl.
Copy !req
671. Move over, bitch, because the
big girl's coming through.
Copy !req
672. See, she can move them arms.
Copy !req
673. You can move them arms.
Copy !req
674. That pass was great.
Copy !req
675. Extraterrestrial ferocity.
Copy !req
676. Okay, ladies, that's a wrap.
Copy !req
677. Cannot wait to see
the final product.
Copy !req
678. So proud of you.
Copy !req
679. Only three of us
are going the finale.
Copy !req
680. I don't know
who's gonna be there,
Copy !req
681. but I feel bad for the
person that has to leave.
Copy !req
682. - Thank y'all so much.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
683. - Thank you.
- Bye, kids.
Copy !req
684. Bye.
Copy !req
685. Can't blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
686. What was everybody's first
impression of each other?
Copy !req
687. I was like, I just know
this bitch is obnoxious.
Copy !req
688. - Ooh.
- Ooh.
Copy !req
689. - Oh.
Copy !req
690. Last day of school, chickens.
Copy !req
691. It's the end of an era.
Copy !req
692. Girls.
Copy !req
693. It's the end of an era.
Copy !req
694. It's our last day
in the Werkroom,
Copy !req
695. and I'm taking a deep
breath and taking
Copy !req
696. it in for the last time.
Copy !req
697. It's bittersweet.
It's the end of the era.
Copy !req
698. We are getting painted
for the last time.
Copy !req
699. Can you believe it?
Copy !req
700. No, it's actually
kind of, like, wild.
Copy !req
701. I mean, we literally
did an entire music video
Copy !req
702. all in 24 hours, bitch.
Copy !req
703. I'm very excited
to watch the premiere
Copy !req
704. of the "Blame It on the Edit"
music video
Copy !req
705. with the judges.
Copy !req
706. This is going to the thing
Copy !req
707. that could make or break one of
us getting a spot in the top.
Copy !req
708. It was very fun.
Copy !req
709. It was like living your,
like, ultimate video girl,
Copy !req
710. like, fantasy.
Copy !req
711. Yeah, I know I'm slow
with choreo,
Copy !req
712. and Miguel knows
that at this point.
Copy !req
713. So, like, it was a lot, girl.
Copy !req
714. I've worked my ass off
to get to this point.
Copy !req
715. And if you think
I'm gonna let
Copy !req
716. some little choreography get me
down, you are sadly mistaken.
Copy !req
717. So it's time to put
my game face back on
Copy !req
718. and keep it pushing.
Copy !req
719. I decided to just let go.
Copy !req
720. And, you know, we only
get to do this once.
Copy !req
721. And we're so lucky to be here.
Copy !req
722. So I'm making the most
of every single moment.
Copy !req
723. As you should.
Copy !req
724. And, of course,
my verse ate the girls up.
Copy !req
725. Okay.
Copy !req
726. Deep down, Mistress knows.
Copy !req
727. She ain't crazy.
Copy !req
728. She knows that
she's in jeopardy.
Copy !req
729. I know she's feeling nervous.
Copy !req
730. It was kind of
wild to, like, have
Copy !req
731. to learn the
choreography and then,
Copy !req
732. like, literally film
it right afterward.
Copy !req
733. - Yeah.
- I feel like by the end
Copy !req
734. I got it down pretty well.
Copy !req
735. But I'm also a little bit
stressed because the finale
Copy !req
736. is right around the corner.
Copy !req
737. They're looking at
every little detail.
Copy !req
738. And it would really suck
for me to go home now.
Copy !req
739. Okay, bitches,
so let's cut to the tea.
Copy !req
740. What was everybody's first
impression of each other?
Copy !req
741. Luxx was like one of
the first people I met...
Copy !req
742. gorge, painted boots.
Copy !req
743. But you're, like,
so fun and, like, quirky.
Copy !req
744. I love your crazy confidence.
Copy !req
745. I was very happy that you
looked like your pictures.
Copy !req
746. And I hate when girls,
like, are catfishes.
Copy !req
747. Like, I'm not gonna say...
- Say their name.
Copy !req
748. Malaysia's
Babydoll's Foxx's name.
Copy !req
749. I already knew who Sasha was.
Copy !req
750. So I was like, okay,
let's see if she's
Copy !req
751. gonna be as
sickening as people
Copy !req
752. are anticipating her to be.
Copy !req
753. And then to my surprise,
she was.
Copy !req
754. Surprise?
Copy !req
755. I was hoping you wouldn't.
Copy !req
756. I was hoping you would
be a rotting too.
Copy !req
757. - Ah.
- But you're a sweetheart.
Copy !req
758. I wasn't expecting
you to be so nice,
Copy !req
759. if I'm gonna be honest, because
you have, like, a status.
Copy !req
760. I was really refreshed
that you were not a bitch.
Copy !req
761. What I've learned is
check your ego at the door.
Copy !req
762. Just be a joy to be around.
Copy !req
763. That's really gotten me
where I am today.
Copy !req
764. When I moved to LA, I was
already Miss Continental.
Copy !req
765. But no one in LA
knew who Sasha Colby was.
Copy !req
766. And I really had to
start from the ground up.
Copy !req
767. I can't be one of those
girls that are like, oh,
Copy !req
768. you don't know who I am?
Copy !req
769. Oh, darling.
Like, darling.
Copy !req
770. No, like, that's
never gonna work.
Copy !req
771. I already knew Anetra
was gonna be, like,
Copy !req
772. the silent killer.
Copy !req
773. You were very quiet.
Copy !req
774. But I see that
you are very lively.
Copy !req
775. You just are soft-spoken.
Copy !req
776. And we have, like, a similar,
like, sense of humor, too.
Copy !req
777. Very bad.
Copy !req
778. I think that out
of the four of us,
Copy !req
779. Anetra has had the
biggest transformation.
Copy !req
780. When she first came in,
I didn't see much personality.
Copy !req
781. But as the competition progressed,
Copy !req
782. she's definitely shown more
of the person that she is,
Copy !req
783. and I just love her so much.
Copy !req
784. And Mistress,
at first I was like,
Copy !req
785. I just know this bitch
is obnoxious.
Copy !req
786. - Did you say obnoxious?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
787. But then I found out
that she is obnoxious.
Copy !req
788. But she has redeeming
great qualities.
Copy !req
789. I liked your
personality because you
Copy !req
790. weren't afraid to talk.
Copy !req
791. I just love that you
say whatever you feel.
Copy !req
792. And you, like, don't care.
Copy !req
793. The second you walked in,
the groups met each other.
Copy !req
794. As soon as you came
up to me, you were like,
Copy !req
795. Auntie, the bitches are wack.
Copy !req
796. I should have been
in y'all's group.
Copy !req
797. I do remember
hearing you say that.
Copy !req
798. You are a handful already.
Copy !req
799. Girl, look around.
Did I lie?
Copy !req
800. There's no one from
my group, bitch.
Copy !req
801. I didn't come in
to make friends.
Copy !req
802. But to my surprise, I've
made a few along the way,
Copy !req
803. even though I try to
be in my bitchy era.
Copy !req
804. We got to have some
moments here, like some, oh!
Copy !req
805. - Ooh.
- Ooh.
Copy !req
806. What was y'all's
favorite gate?
Copy !req
807. Well, that's shady, honey.
Copy !req
808. If there's one thing this
season will be known for,
Copy !req
809. it is definitely gonna be
the season of the gates.
Copy !req
810. Metal-gate, Heaven-gate...
Copy !req
811. - 40-inch-gate.
- 40-inch-gate.
Copy !req
812. Baby-bump-gate.
Copy !req
813. Baby-bump-gate.
Copy !req
814. Baby bump... oh, my God.
Copy !req
815. Ooh, why am I
seeing a pattern?
Copy !req
816. Why is Luxx in
every gate, honey?
Copy !req
817. Every gate that happened
that I was a part of...
Copy !req
818. Bitch, all the gates.
Copy !req
819. Apparently, I was a
part of all of the gates.
Copy !req
820. I would consider myself the
gatekeeper of season 15.
Copy !req
821. But I didn't
provoke any of them.
Copy !req
822. Or if I did provoke it,
I didn't escalate it
Copy !req
823. for it to become
a full-on gate.
Copy !req
824. However, I am the
one who said it.
Copy !req
825. - Blame it on the edit.
Copy !req
826. We are all about to go
back on the main stage
Copy !req
827. for the last time
to find out
Copy !req
828. who is moving on
to the grand finale.
Copy !req
829. I love all of these girls.
Copy !req
830. But I am looking at the end
goal, which is the crown.
Copy !req
831. Isn't it wild to
think that one of us
Copy !req
832. is going to be America's
Next Drag Superstar?
Copy !req
833. I know, I can't wait.
Copy !req
834. I don't want to be
in the top three.
Copy !req
835. I need to be in the top three.
Copy !req
836. I want this more than words
can even describe.
Copy !req
837. I deserve to be in
the finale because
Copy !req
838. I'm a phenomenal performer.
Copy !req
839. I'm a phenomenal drag
queen and... period.
Copy !req
840. I should be at
the grand finale
Copy !req
841. because I am a drag queen.
Copy !req
842. My Stockard Channing moment.
Copy !req
843. I just want to
come out already.
Copy !req
844. God, the suspense is...
Copy !req
845. eee!
Copy !req
846. - Take your time.
- Take your time, Mama.
Copy !req
847. Welcome
to the main stage
Copy !req
848. of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
849. She's not a bitch.
Copy !req
850. She's just edited that way.
Copy !req
851. It's Michelle Visage.
Copy !req
852. No, Ru, I am
actually that bitch.
Copy !req
853. The hilarious Ross Mathews.
Copy !req
854. Now, as we reach the end
of season 15, any regrets?
Copy !req
855. I deeply regret the one time
I agreed with Michelle Visage.
Copy !req
856. - It was wrong. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
857. This week,
we challenged our queens
Copy !req
858. to serve intergalactic
glamour in the music video
Copy !req
859. "Blame It on the Edit."
Copy !req
860. And tonight on the runway,
category is Drag Excellence.
Copy !req
861. Racers, start your engines,
Copy !req
862. and may the best
drag queen win.
Copy !req
863. Wow.
Copy !req
864. Each week, I fell more
and more in love with you.
Copy !req
865. You are so gay.
Copy !req
866. The category
is Drag Excellence.
Copy !req
867. Up first, Anetra.
Copy !req
868. Oh, she makes a good point.
Copy !req
869. Actually, she makes
several good points.
Copy !req
870. She wore blue velvet.
Copy !req
871. This look is
Grand High Empress
Copy !req
872. Anetra, the house down.
Copy !req
873. It's one of my favorite
things I've ever made.
Copy !req
874. It's dripping in beauty,
Asian fierceness.
Copy !req
875. She's glamorous.
She's artistic.
Copy !req
876. At the end of this competition
I just feel so elevated.
Copy !req
877. - You've heard of Flash Gordon?
- Yes.
Copy !req
878. Well, meet Flash Whoredon.
Copy !req
879. Go, Flash, go.
Copy !req
880. I love a tassel
on an asshole.
Copy !req
881. Luxx Noir London.
Copy !req
882. Representing the Cicely
Tyson School of the Arts.
Copy !req
883. I want my final moment
on the runway
Copy !req
884. to be kind of different
from what I've shown.
Copy !req
885. I can also show you
elegance, poise, glamour
Copy !req
886. and still have
myself shine through.
Copy !req
887. My mug is stamped
for the gods.
Copy !req
888. The earrings are so heavy.
Copy !req
889. I just have the weight of my
success in this competition
Copy !req
890. on my earlobes right now.
Copy !req
891. It's just the perfect
chef's kiss
Copy !req
892. runway presentation.
Copy !req
893. I'm gonna take that train
all the way to London.
Copy !req
894. Mm, I guess it
do gotta be white.
Copy !req
895. Sasha Colby.
Copy !req
896. Aloha, gorgeous.
Copy !req
897. Oh, her head got lei-ed.
Copy !req
898. I'm giving you
AB Crystallized
Copy !req
899. Galactic Federation Queen.
Copy !req
900. I wanted to bring some
of my Hawaiian culture
Copy !req
901. with my beautiful orchids.
Copy !req
902. I am rhinestoned from orchid
stem to all my bracelets.
Copy !req
903. The dress is immaculate.
Copy !req
904. It is giving you pageant.
Copy !req
905. It is hitting the floor perfectly,
Copy !req
906. straight up Sasha Colby
drag excellence.
Copy !req
907. I'm also so ethereal and
hopefully makes you gasp
Copy !req
908. and clutch a pearl or two.
Copy !req
909. Miss Diamond Head.
Copy !req
910. If you like it,
then you should
Copy !req
911. put six, seven rings on it.
Copy !req
912. Mistress Isabelle Brooks.
Copy !req
913. Ru, she can't win.
She's a cheetah.
Copy !req
914. I am in my glamazon era,
Copy !req
915. and I am giving
fierce ferociousness.
Copy !req
916. I wore this gown for
a national pageant.
Copy !req
917. Wearing this gown was
the first time in drag
Copy !req
918. that I felt untouchable.
Copy !req
919. It means a lot to me.
Copy !req
920. As you go down the gown,
note the details, bitch.
Copy !req
921. The cheetah print
is not on the fabric.
Copy !req
922. It is beaded into design.
Copy !req
923. Every bead is sewn one by one,
Copy !req
924. and it is hours and
hours and hours of work.
Copy !req
925. And that is custom couture, honey.
Copy !req
926. This gown is heavy, bitch.
Copy !req
927. This is about 60 pounds.
Copy !req
928. I know that this gown
will go down
Copy !req
929. in history because,
bitch, I'm wearing it,
Copy !req
930. and it looks
sickening.
Copy !req
931. She is feline the fantasy.
Copy !req
932. I hear she's feral.
Copy !req
933. Welcome, queens.
Copy !req
934. And attention, Earthlings.
Copy !req
935. It's time to blast off
with Anetra,
Copy !req
936. Luxx Noir London, Sasha Colby,
Copy !req
937. and Mistress Isabelle Brooks
Copy !req
938. in the intergalactic premiere
Copy !req
939. of "Blame It on the Edit."
Copy !req
940. - Whoa!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
941. Wow.
Copy !req
942. Your taste level is beyond.
Copy !req
943. What you've done
in this competition
Copy !req
944. is nothing short of amazing.
Copy !req
945. I want to have sex
with an alien tonight.
Copy !req
946. My beautiful queens,
tonight we must decide
Copy !req
947. which three of you
will be moving on
Copy !req
948. to the grand finale of
"RuPaul's Drag Race" season 15.
Copy !req
949. And I've just got
to commend you
Copy !req
950. on all of the hard work and
devotion that you've put in.
Copy !req
951. I know how hard this is.
Copy !req
952. You should be very,
very proud of yourselves.
Copy !req
953. And now, it's time for the
judges' final critiques,
Copy !req
954. starting with Anetra.
Copy !req
955. You look unreal tonight.
Copy !req
956. There's something
about this look that
Copy !req
957. hearkens back to
days of old, but also
Copy !req
958. points towards the future.
Copy !req
959. This is very
Emperor Ming Flash Gordon.
Copy !req
960. We keep going back
to Flash Gordon.
Copy !req
961. Yes, go, Flash, go.
Copy !req
962. What a joy it has been watching
you grow in this competition.
Copy !req
963. Each challenge that came,
you met it head on.
Copy !req
964. Then you won three of them,
especially in that Rusical.
Copy !req
965. When you let us in
and you touched us
Copy !req
966. the way you did with
your performance,
Copy !req
967. we will never
forget that moment.
Copy !req
968. Getting to direct you
in the music video,
Copy !req
969. I could see you getting
in your own head.
Copy !req
970. Choreography is different than voguing.
Copy !req
971. You chose to do a slower rap.
But I liked it.
Copy !req
972. And you ended it with almost
a ballroom lingo, you know,
Copy !req
973. with 10s
and talking about that.
Copy !req
974. But it's like
how the Bible says,
Copy !req
975. when it comes to duck-walking,
it's a marathon, not a sprint.
Copy !req
976. - That's right.
- Yes.
Copy !req
977. That's my favorite
passage, actually.
Copy !req
978. - Beautiful.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
979. Tell me about
writing the lyrics.
Copy !req
980. So I wanted to
obviously call back
Copy !req
981. to Walking that Duck.
Copy !req
982. - It was...
Copy !req
983. it was such a big thing
for me in the competition.
Copy !req
984. I knew this was gonna be
one of the hardest things
Copy !req
985. that I had ever done.
Copy !req
986. And it was also one of the
most transformative things
Copy !req
987. that I have ever done.
Copy !req
988. What you've done
in this competition
Copy !req
989. is nothing short of amazing.
Copy !req
990. I am so proud of you.
Copy !req
991. Thank you.
Copy !req
992. Up next, Luxx Noir London.
Copy !req
993. I am so proud of my
fellow New Jerseyan
Copy !req
994. right here in the final four.
Copy !req
995. Tonight, you look
absolutely beautiful.
Copy !req
996. Your taste level is beyond.
Copy !req
997. When I think of the
iconic runway moments
Copy !req
998. that we've seen
in season 15,
Copy !req
999. you are at the top of
the list.
Copy !req
1000. Each week, I fell more
and more in love with you.
Copy !req
1001. And look at you now.
Copy !req
1002. And then let's talk
about this video.
Copy !req
1003. I liked your lyrics.
Copy !req
1004. But what I loved
is that you sang.
Copy !req
1005. And then you give us rap,
as well.
Copy !req
1006. You're gonna
give me four lines.
Copy !req
1007. Bitch, I'm gonna show
you everything I got.
Copy !req
1008. You probably got the
choreography the quickest.
Copy !req
1009. And you committed to it.
Copy !req
1010. You're so unabashedly you.
Copy !req
1011. You are so gay.
Copy !req
1012. That's coming from me.
Copy !req
1013. You are the embodiment
of what it is to be proud.
Copy !req
1014. There's no shame in that game,
and the lyrics speak to that.
Copy !req
1015. I see you, and I just
think about all the kids
Copy !req
1016. in the world who could be you.
Copy !req
1017. You have a family that supports
you and that has lifted you up
Copy !req
1018. and said, you can do
whatever you want to do.
Copy !req
1019. And that gives me so much hope.
Copy !req
1020. I'm so grateful for them.
Copy !req
1021. And I don't even
think they know
Copy !req
1022. how grateful I am for them.
Copy !req
1023. I just love them so much.
Copy !req
1024. You are very blessed.
Copy !req
1025. Thank you so much for
all your kind words.
Copy !req
1026. It all just means
the world to me.
Copy !req
1027. Thank you, Luxx.
Copy !req
1028. Up next, Sasha Colby.
Copy !req
1029. You know, you came into this
competition with notoriety.
Copy !req
1030. Some of these kids may
know about your legacy.
Copy !req
1031. Some may not.
Copy !req
1032. Some may be threatened by it.
Copy !req
1033. Some may not.
Copy !req
1034. But it's a big deal
to be the eldest
Copy !req
1035. and have to hold your ground.
Copy !req
1036. And when you come out so
high, that's even harder.
Copy !req
1037. You exceeded expectations.
Copy !req
1038. Let's talk about this runway.
Copy !req
1039. It's spectacular.
Copy !req
1040. Your performance in
the video was so fun.
Copy !req
1041. I love your Pamela Anderson
situation that you gave us.
Copy !req
1042. And we were all like,
damn, I want to have
Copy !req
1043. sex with an alien tonight.
Copy !req
1044. That's your gift.
Copy !req
1045. And the first line of your
lyrics is "bad bitch body."
Copy !req
1046. You are so much more than
a body, 'cause they go away.
Copy !req
1047. But your kindness
and your inner beauty,
Copy !req
1048. that ain't going anywhere.
Copy !req
1049. As we've learned your story,
you are not only a survivor,
Copy !req
1050. but you are a spiritual leader.
Copy !req
1051. I know the hard knocks.
Copy !req
1052. And they've informed you
Copy !req
1053. how to meet life
on life's terms.
Copy !req
1054. Well done, mama.
Copy !req
1055. It was an amazing experience.
Copy !req
1056. I cherish every moment here.
Copy !req
1057. This was really my love letter
to drag, the love of my life.
Copy !req
1058. And I'm so glad I could
have shared it here.
Copy !req
1059. Thank you.
Copy !req
1060. All right,
Mistress Isabelle Brooks.
Copy !req
1061. This runway tonight,
well, that's how you do it...
Copy !req
1062. sexy in all the right places.
Copy !req
1063. But I love that you
own being a big girl.
Copy !req
1064. I also love that you never
are the butt of the joke.
Copy !req
1065. I've fallen prey to that.
Copy !req
1066. That's powerful.
Copy !req
1067. We got to see a beautiful
trajectory of all the looks
Copy !req
1068. that Mistress does,
all the while
Copy !req
1069. representing Houston drag.
Copy !req
1070. You must have said it 50 times.
Copy !req
1071. But I say that with love.
Copy !req
1072. And you did them so proud
in this competition.
Copy !req
1073. Let's talk about you
in the music video.
Copy !req
1074. Okay, there were a couple
steps off, couple.
Copy !req
1075. I saw them.
Copy !req
1076. But when they came in
close on your face,
Copy !req
1077. nobody sells
a close-up like Mistress.
Copy !req
1078. Just your eyes alone are...
Copy !req
1079. they tell every part of
the story.
Copy !req
1080. And you also do
this thing where
Copy !req
1081. you can be so sexy
and so pop star
Copy !req
1082. and also hilarious
the next second.
Copy !req
1083. You're so good at that.
Copy !req
1084. Not only are you a fabulous
queen, a gorgeous queen,
Copy !req
1085. but you are a smart queen.
Copy !req
1086. The acting, the performance,
the gorgeous costumes,
Copy !req
1087. the snarky attitude,
unapologetic—
Copy !req
1088. it's so refreshing.
Copy !req
1089. You let a bitch know.
Copy !req
1090. But you let a bitch know
in a way that's still fun,
Copy !req
1091. and with a wink and a nudge.
Copy !req
1092. Remember who you are.
Copy !req
1093. You are anointed.
Copy !req
1094. You are anointed.
You are anointed.
Copy !req
1095. You are anointed.
And you are anointed.
Copy !req
1096. It's no accident
you're standing on this stage.
Copy !req
1097. Remember I said that.
Remember this moment.
Copy !req
1098. I'm sorry, my dears, but
you are up for elimination.
Copy !req
1099. Ladies, many of
our younger viewers
Copy !req
1100. are struggling to
find their tribe.
Copy !req
1101. With them in mind,
I want to ask you this,
Copy !req
1102. starting with Anetra.
Copy !req
1103. If you could travel
back in time,
Copy !req
1104. what would you tell
five-year-old Isaiah?
Copy !req
1105. Oh, wow.
Copy !req
1106. I would say...
Copy !req
1107. it's gonna be
a rough ride at the beginning,
Copy !req
1108. and you're gonna
have a lot of dark days.
Copy !req
1109. But just hold on.
Copy !req
1110. There is gonna
come a day where
Copy !req
1111. you get to release
and fly free
Copy !req
1112. and be your authentic self.
Copy !req
1113. And it's gonna be
so worth the wait.
Copy !req
1114. So keep strutting around
in them go-go boots.
Copy !req
1115. And I love you.
Copy !req
1116. Luxx Noir London,
what would you tell
Copy !req
1117. three-year-old Justin?
Copy !req
1118. You're gonna
wake up one morning,
Copy !req
1119. and you're gonna say,
"I'm gonna be a star."
Copy !req
1120. And it's gonna come true.
Copy !req
1121. There's gonna be so many
things that are going to try
Copy !req
1122. to knock you off of your path.
Copy !req
1123. And everything, good,
bad, nice, mean, ugly,
Copy !req
1124. is all going to lead you
Copy !req
1125. to that star shining as
bright as it possibly can.
Copy !req
1126. People are gonna
try to dim that shine.
Copy !req
1127. But you know deep down
who the you are.
Copy !req
1128. And you know what
you're here to do.
Copy !req
1129. This doesn't happen for
everyone who looks like you,
Copy !req
1130. who comes where you come from.
Copy !req
1131. You have a great
life ahead of you.
Copy !req
1132. Don't take a second
for granted, please.
Copy !req
1133. Thank you.
Copy !req
1134. Sasha Colby,
what would you tell
Copy !req
1135. little three-year-old Sasha?
Copy !req
1136. First of all, woman.
Copy !req
1137. Fit it, bitch.
Copy !req
1138. First of all, your
family doesn't know
Copy !req
1139. what they're talking about.
Copy !req
1140. Just keep the pigtails, honey.
Copy !req
1141. I would like to tell her that...
Copy !req
1142. Oh, my God, like, your
dreams are gonna come true
Copy !req
1143. because you just
relied on yourself
Copy !req
1144. and your natural instinct and
turned to drag as your therapy
Copy !req
1145. and your best friend.
Copy !req
1146. You're gonna find
yourself so quickly
Copy !req
1147. and will be
questioned about it.
Copy !req
1148. And you will hold
it down so fiercely,
Copy !req
1149. no one can tell you anything.
Copy !req
1150. And I love you
so much because I
Copy !req
1151. know you don't hear it a lot.
Copy !req
1152. I love you so much.
Copy !req
1153. And I'm so proud of you.
Copy !req
1154. Thank you.
Copy !req
1155. Mistress Isabelle Brooks,
what would you tell
Copy !req
1156. four-year-old Israel?
Copy !req
1157. Life is
gonna be so confusing.
Copy !req
1158. And you're not
gonna understand
Copy !req
1159. why it feels like
you're invisible
Copy !req
1160. or like you don't matter.
Copy !req
1161. But there's
something in you that
Copy !req
1162. always just holds on to
that little glimmer of hope.
Copy !req
1163. And don't ever, ever lose that.
Copy !req
1164. You may never have that
relationship you always
Copy !req
1165. dreamt about with your family.
Copy !req
1166. But you'll find your tribe,
and you'll
Copy !req
1167. find your chosen family.
Copy !req
1168. And you're gonna find
people who
Copy !req
1169. show you that love is real.
Copy !req
1170. And just get ready because
Copy !req
1171. you're gonna accomplish so
much that you never thought
Copy !req
1172. was possible.
Copy !req
1173. Thank you, Mistress.
Copy !req
1174. Thank you.
Copy !req
1175. Thank you, ladies.
I think we've heard enough.
Copy !req
1176. While you enjoy delicious
House of Love canned cocktails
Copy !req
1177. and mocktails in the Werkroom,
Copy !req
1178. the judges and I
will deliberate.
Copy !req
1179. Now, just between us squirrel
friends, what do you think?
Copy !req
1180. Big decisions to make.
Copy !req
1181. Let's start with Anetra.
Copy !req
1182. Wow.
Copy !req
1183. Won the first challenge,
Walking the Duck,
Copy !req
1184. and kept walking it
through the competition.
Copy !req
1185. The performance
in the Rusical...
Copy !req
1186. we didn't just watch it.
Copy !req
1187. We felt it.
Copy !req
1188. And then she came back
and won with
Copy !req
1189. the Teachers Makeover challenge,
Copy !req
1190. which was right at the end
of this competition.
Copy !req
1191. She has brought this
momentum into the final four.
Copy !req
1192. In the music video, was she
as strong as Luxx and Sasha?
Copy !req
1193. No.
Copy !req
1194. But I loved her
lyrics because she
Copy !req
1195. is branding herself.
Copy !req
1196. She's a smart kid.
She's a sensitive kid.
Copy !req
1197. And I have just fallen
in love with her
Copy !req
1198. throughout this competition.
Copy !req
1199. That is one
fierce drag queen.
Copy !req
1200. Let's talk about
Luxx Noir London.
Copy !req
1201. The first time
I saw her, I was like,
Copy !req
1202. oh, this is like a club
queen who's like, yes,
Copy !req
1203. just living for the moment.
Copy !req
1204. And as each week came,
I was like, okay, I get it.
Copy !req
1205. Some of these looks
were iconic this season.
Copy !req
1206. Talk about her
Everybody Say Glove look,
Copy !req
1207. where she came out in casts.
Copy !req
1208. You know, that is just a
different kind of thinking.
Copy !req
1209. The House of Fashion,
those zebra pants?
Copy !req
1210. I will never forget that.
Copy !req
1211. Then she's shown us
she's got comedy chops
Copy !req
1212. with the
Funny Girls comedy duo.
Copy !req
1213. And in the music video,
I loved
Copy !req
1214. the way she performed it.
Copy !req
1215. She's a natural dancer.
Copy !req
1216. She understands what she
can do with her body.
Copy !req
1217. She's got such an
effervescence about her,
Copy !req
1218. and she brought that
to the music video.
Copy !req
1219. I look at Luxx, and I think,
finally, a respectable woman
Copy !req
1220. comes out of New Jersey.
Copy !req
1221. You better watch it, Mathews.
Copy !req
1222. Let's move on to
Sasha Colby.
Copy !req
1223. Sasha won three times.
Copy !req
1224. She competed intentfully
and purposely
Copy !req
1225. in every single challenge
with something to say.
Copy !req
1226. And when she didn't win,
she still didn't suck.
Copy !req
1227. Much like me,
she never bottomed.
Copy !req
1228. And that is quite a feat.
Copy !req
1229. Some of her looks
were amazing...
Copy !req
1230. Everybody Say Glove
Copy !req
1231. with that custom
couture baseball outfit,
Copy !req
1232. her Puffer, Please, with that
black-and-yellow outfit,
Copy !req
1233. which—unbelievable.
Copy !req
1234. Her makeover look that she
did—she turned it out.
Copy !req
1235. And in the music video,
the fact that she, like,
Copy !req
1236. leaned back, as opposed
to pushing so hard,
Copy !req
1237. it was so powerful.
Copy !req
1238. I was never not
literally compelled.
Copy !req
1239. I felt like she was a vampire
and she was glamouring me.
Copy !req
1240. I could not look away.
Copy !req
1241. Sasha is a consummate professional.
Copy !req
1242. But some of the
professionals that we've
Copy !req
1243. had like that over the years
can get redundant.
Copy !req
1244. - Yeah.
- Sasha never let that happen.
Copy !req
1245. Not only that,
but what a lovely person.
Copy !req
1246. How lovely and poised she is.
Copy !req
1247. Sasha Colby has it all.
Copy !req
1248. All right,
let's talk about Mistress.
Copy !req
1249. This is another one
who put so much though
Copy !req
1250. into every look
that she brought out here.
Copy !req
1251. Even when she was wearing
the RuPaul racer suit
Copy !req
1252. and she put
the big-girl quotes,
Copy !req
1253. everything had intention.
Copy !req
1254. And she was doing things that
were out of her comfort zone.
Copy !req
1255. She won the Daytona
Wind Sitcom challenge,
Copy !req
1256. where she's an actress.
Copy !req
1257. I love seeing people
surprise themselves
Copy !req
1258. in this competition.
Copy !req
1259. Her performance in the
music video, she struggled.
Copy !req
1260. Not gonna lie.
Copy !req
1261. Now, she might not have
been the best dancer.
Copy !req
1262. She gave us face
the house down.
Copy !req
1263. You know, you find out
if you're a survivor
Copy !req
1264. or you're a crumbler here.
Copy !req
1265. And she's not only a
survivor, she's a winner.
Copy !req
1266. She has worked it out.
Copy !req
1267. She's like a MacGyver.
Copy !req
1268. We got a MacGyver
reference—thanks.
Copy !req
1269. Yes.
Copy !req
1270. More like MacGayver,
but still.
Copy !req
1271. Mistress cracks me up.
Copy !req
1272. - The bitch has shade for days.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
1273. And she's not mean about it.
Copy !req
1274. But she's just meant
to be a drag queen.
Copy !req
1275. I don't know.
Copy !req
1276. I don't know how we're
gonna do this, right?
Copy !req
1277. There are four queens
up there that could
Copy !req
1278. all be in the finish line.
Copy !req
1279. You know, at the
beginning of the season,
Copy !req
1280. I promised myself to have an
elimination every episode.
Copy !req
1281. I've got to admit,
I'm still making up my mind.
Copy !req
1282. Silence.
Copy !req
1283. Bring back my girls.
Copy !req
1284. Ooh.
Copy !req
1285. Oh.
Copy !req
1286. Welcome back, queens.
Copy !req
1287. I've made some
difficult decisions.
Copy !req
1288. Sasha Colby.
Copy !req
1289. Condragulations,
you are the winner
Copy !req
1290. of this week's challenge.
Copy !req
1291. Yes.
Copy !req
1292. Oh, my God, I just
won the fourth challenge.
Copy !req
1293. Yes.
Copy !req
1294. You've won a cash
prize of $5,000,
Copy !req
1295. and you are moving forward
to the grand finale.
Copy !req
1296. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1297. I'm a finalist
in the grand finale
Copy !req
1298. of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
1299. I'm given my golden ticket,
and it's not chocolate.
Copy !req
1300. It feels so good, like a
lovely, accomplished sigh
Copy !req
1301. of relief.
Copy !req
1302. Luxx Noir London.
Copy !req
1303. You are...
Copy !req
1304. safe.
Copy !req
1305. Condragulations, you're moving
forward to the grand finale.
Copy !req
1306. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
1307. I told myself that
I was going to be here.
Copy !req
1308. And that's the
ultimate prize for me.
Copy !req
1309. I want the crown.
That's the ultimate prize.
Copy !req
1310. But this is like, it's a
really big prize as well.
Copy !req
1311. Anetra,
Mistress Isabelle Brooks,
Copy !req
1312. I'm sorry, my dears,
Copy !req
1313. but you are both
up for elimination.
Copy !req
1314. This is my last chance
to lip-sync
Copy !req
1315. my way into the finale.
Copy !req
1316. The poker face is out,
and I'm ready to slay.
Copy !req
1317. Two queens stand before me.
Copy !req
1318. Ladies, this is your last
chance to impress me
Copy !req
1319. and save yourself
from elimination.
Copy !req
1320. The time has come...
Copy !req
1321. for you to lip-synch...
Copy !req
1322. for... your... life.
Copy !req
1323. I'm not gonna
let anything stop me
Copy !req
1324. from my journey to the crown.
Copy !req
1325. I want this so bad.
Copy !req
1326. And I'm gonna give
them a performance
Copy !req
1327. they're gonna remember.
Copy !req
1328. Good luck,
and don't it up.
Copy !req
1329. Come on!
Copy !req
1330. I am in this 60-pound dress.
Copy !req
1331. But I'm giving them
everything I've got.
Copy !req
1332. I want nothing more than to be
America's Next Drag Superstar.
Copy !req
1333. Whoo!
Copy !req
1334. I've never wanted
anything more
Copy !req
1335. than to be in this finale.
Copy !req
1336. I am laying this heart
out for you on the stage.
Copy !req
1337. And I'm giving you everything.
Copy !req
1338. I'm about to walk
this duck
Copy !req
1339. all the way to the finale.
Copy !req
1340. - Oh!
- Whoo!
Copy !req
1341. Drag, honey, drag.
Copy !req
1342. Oh, wow.
Copy !req
1343. Ladies,
I've made my decision.
Copy !req
1344. For the first time this season,
Copy !req
1345. shantay, you both stay.
Copy !req
1346. We both stay!
Ah!
Copy !req
1347. Condragulations, you are both
moving on to the grand finale.
Copy !req
1348. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1349. I am so excited.
Copy !req
1350. Right now, I'm in my winning
era, you junkie whores.
Copy !req
1351. We have ourselves a top four.
Copy !req
1352. Who do you want to be
America's Next Drag Superstar?
Copy !req
1353. Are you #TeamAnetra,
Copy !req
1354. or #TeamMistress?
Copy !req
1355. Let your voice be heard
using hashtag #DragRace.
Copy !req
1356. And tune in next week for

Copy !req
1360. Until then, remember,
if you can't love yourself,
Copy !req
1361. how in the hell you
gonna love somebody else?
Copy !req
1362. Can I get an amen up in here?
Copy !req
1363. Amen!
- All right.
Copy !req
1364. Now, let the music play.
Copy !req
