43. drag excellence in the USA.

Copy !req
71. the two queens that

Copy !req
83. Our first finalist
is a powerhouse performer
Copy !req
84. and a kickass queen.
Copy !req
85. Take a look.
Copy !req
86. Hey, it's your girl Anetra.
Copy !req
87. That's six letters
and three vowels
Copy !req
88. and a whole lotta
ducking talent.
Copy !req
89. I kicked off the season
in a big, big way,
Copy !req
90. and I just kept slaying.
Copy !req
91. And that's why
I'm the knockout.
Copy !req
92. This journey for me has been
absolutely transformative,
Copy !req
93. and I'm very grateful.
Copy !req
94. I think it's important
to represent for drag
Copy !req
95. and drag artists right now
because drag is freedom
Copy !req
96. and drag is a place where
we get to erase ourselves
Copy !req
97. and build ourselves up again
Copy !req
98. and be whoever we wanna be.
Copy !req
99. If I would have to give a
special thank you to somebody,
Copy !req
100. it would be my dad.
Copy !req
101. I'm very grateful for him,
and if it wasn't for him,
Copy !req
102. I would not be sitting
in this chair.
Copy !req
103. So thank you for everything,
Copy !req
104. and I hope I make you
proud today.
Copy !req
105. Oh, my God.
I didn't think I was gonna cry.
Copy !req
106. No problem.
Copy !req
107. It's been a long
and beautiful journey,
Copy !req
108. but it's coming to an end.
Copy !req
109. This finale is about
to be a ball.
Copy !req
110. For my solo number, I've been
working with a music producer
Copy !req
111. to get this song together and
make sure the lyrics are right,
Copy !req
112. make sure the meaning is right.
Copy !req
113. The name of my original song
is "Lotus."
Copy !req
114. The lotus can only blossom
on top of the lake
Copy !req
115. after they've gone through
all of the mud
Copy !req
116. and all of the bullshit that
they have to persevere
Copy !req
117. to become who they actually
are meant to be.
Copy !req
118. I am so excited to perform
in this finale.
Copy !req
119. Like, Jasmine Kennedie
said it best:
Copy !req
120. "This is my moment,
and I am about to have it."
Copy !req
121. Tonight it's time
to crown this fucking duck.
Copy !req
122. And now,
with the first
Copy !req
123. of our
show-stopping performances,
Copy !req
124. Anetra.
Copy !req
125. Yeah!
Copy !req
126. Wow, that was amazing.
Copy !req
127. It's time for
the judges' critiques.
Copy !req
128. Anetra, you betta slay
that fucking lotus.
Copy !req
129. Yes.
Copy !req
130. Anetra, you're the Portia
of this "White Lotus," okay?
Copy !req
131. - Yes.
- You are amazing,
Copy !req
132. and I'm so glad that you
made it this far.
Copy !req
133. Eat it up, girl.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
134. So, Anetra,
how has your life changed
Copy !req
135. since being on "Drag Race"?
Copy !req
136. It's been absolutely
incredible travelling around
Copy !req
137. and spreading all
of this queerness
Copy !req
138. and flamin' hot pussy everywhere.
Copy !req
139. So drag queens are superheroes.
Copy !req
140. What's your superpower?
Copy !req
141. Leaping over women with BFAs.
Copy !req
142. - Yes, Marcia.
Copy !req
143. A boss bitch.
- Okay.
Copy !req
144. So then what
is your kryptonite?
Copy !req
145. Ooh.
Copy !req
146. Like, any brown man over,
like, 6'.
Copy !req
147. So who's here
supporting you tonight?
Copy !req
148. I have my step-mom
and my father here tonight.
Copy !req
149. Ahh.
Copy !req
150. So Papa Anetra,
Copy !req
151. I know you've been
trying on Anetra's wigs.
Copy !req
152. Which one's your favorite?
Copy !req
153. - All of 'em.
- Really?
Copy !req
154. Are you a pussycat wig
or a long fall?
Copy !req
155. Long fall.
Copy !req
156. - Long fall.
- Oh, wow.
Copy !req
157. - Come on, now.
Copy !req
158. So, Papa Anetra,
America wants to know:
Copy !req
159. Can you walk that fucking duck?
Copy !req
160. Um, hell no.
Copy !req
161. - He's got bad knees.
- Oh, you've got bad knees.
Copy !req
162. - Yes. Yeah.
- I get it.
Copy !req
163. So, Papa Anetra,
what advice do you have
Copy !req
164. for families raising
a drag artist?
Copy !req
165. For anybody that's out there,
Copy !req
166. always love, support,
and just be there for them.
Copy !req
167. That's—that's the main thing
you can do for anybody.
Copy !req
168. I love you.
Copy !req
169. I love that.
Copy !req
170. Chile, all her ducks are
in a mothertucking row.
Copy !req
171. Give it up for Anetra.
Copy !req
172. If you're Team Anetra,
Copy !req
173. sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
174. Coming up, our top four
showdown continues,
Copy !req
175. and a tribute to fashion icon,
Bob Mackie.
Copy !req
176. Plus a special performance
from our queen of all queens,
Copy !req
177. Jinkx Monsoon.
Copy !req
178. And later, an epic
Lip-Sync for the Crown
Copy !req
179. when the grand finale
Copy !req
180. of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
continues.
Copy !req
181. Hey, Mr. DJ, play us out.
Copy !req
182. That's Mistr—free online PrEP
delivered to your door.
Copy !req
183. Welcome back
to the grand finale
Copy !req
184. or "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
185. Our top four showdown continues.
Copy !req
186. Our next queen has a design
for the dramatic.
Copy !req
187. Take a look.
Copy !req
188. - The "it" girl has arrived
Copy !req
189. in mint condition.
Copy !req
190. I'm the saint, the brand,
the fantasy.
Copy !req
191. I came into the competition
talking a big game,
Copy !req
192. and I definitely do think that
Copy !req
193. I put my money
where my mouth is.
Copy !req
194. I walked into the Werkroom
40 inches first
Copy !req
195. and won a couple challenges.
Copy !req
196. I was in the top a lot.
Copy !req
197. I have had some
pretty stellar looks,
Copy !req
198. some pretty sickening fits
and fashions on the runway.
Copy !req
199. I think that I bring
a certain joy to drag.
Copy !req
200. I just have something that
just gives it
Copy !req
201. that little extra "mmm" to it,
you know?
Copy !req
202. It's just this je ne sais quoi.
Copy !req
203. I do live my life with
a suit of confidence on.
Copy !req
204. I also have feelings,
and I also have a heart.
Copy !req
205. Checkmate.
Copy !req
206. Winning "Drag Race" would mean
a lot to me.
Copy !req
207. I want this more than anything
I've ever wanted.
Copy !req
208. I want this so bad.
Copy !req
209. Like, I will do anything
for it.
Copy !req
210. Like, I will commit crime.
Copy !req
211. I—well, not too bad.
Copy !req
212. For, like, a petty crime
where I'd, like,
Copy !req
213. you know, just be arrested
but not go to prison,
Copy !req
214. like stealing or something
like that.
Copy !req
215. Hello? RuPaul?
Copy !req
216. Oh, my God, yes!
I'll take the $200,000.
Copy !req
217. Of course!
Copy !req
218. When I tell you,
Copy !req
219. I am feeling
all of the emotion
Copy !req
220. in being here at the finale.
Copy !req
221. It's very surreal,
but it feels very correct.
Copy !req
222. The original song that I will
be performing tonight,
Copy !req
223. it's about being lavish.
Copy !req
224. It's about fashion.
Copy !req
225. It's, you know,
just full of life.
Copy !req
226. I am beyond excited for the
world to see this performance.
Copy !req
227. I think the other three girls
would be crazy
Copy !req
228. to not be worried about
what I have up my sleeve.
Copy !req
229. And the sleeve is Versace.
Copy !req
230. And now, Luxx Noir London.
Copy !req
231. What?
Copy !req
232. - What?
- Let me say it, bitch.
Copy !req
233. Quit asking.
Copy !req
234. What?
Copy !req
235. - What?
- Let me say it, bitch.
Copy !req
236. Quit asking.
Copy !req
237. Luxx, that was giving me fashion.
Copy !req
238. Let's hear from the judges.
Copy !req
239. Luxx Noir London Visage,
Copy !req
240. you have made me
and the entire Garden State
Copy !req
241. so very proud.
Copy !req
242. So, so well done, Luxx.
Copy !req
243. So proud of you, sweetheart.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
244. Luxx, it's giving all the Fs:
Copy !req
245. Fashion, face, and ferocity.
Copy !req
246. Now, Luxx, you have
Copy !req
247. a "Drag Race" quote
for everything.
Copy !req
248. Is there a quote that sums up
how you're feeling right now?
Copy !req
249. Hmm.
Copy !req
250. I actually think I have
the perfect one.
Copy !req
251. "I can't wait to see
how this turns out."
Copy !req
252. So, joking aside,
how are you feeling right now?
Copy !req
253. I'm feeling on top
of the world.
Copy !req
254. I've been dreaming
of this moment
Copy !req
255. since I even knew
what "Drag Race" was.
Copy !req
256. I just saw myself here
in the finale.
Copy !req
257. And it's wild to think that
Copy !req
258. when you really put
so much heart
Copy !req
259. and energy and effort
Copy !req
260. into what you really want
to achieve in life,
Copy !req
261. the possibilities are endless.
Copy !req
262. Yes. I love that.
Copy !req
263. It's true.
Copy !req
264. So, Luxx, who's here
supporting you tonight?
Copy !req
265. My lovely mother...
- Hi, my baby.
Copy !req
266. And my boyfriend, Thomas.
Copy !req
267. - Hey, my love.
- Oh, gorgeous.
Copy !req
268. I love you, my baby.
Copy !req
269. So, Mother Luxx,
Copy !req
270. where does Luxx get
the creativity from?
Copy !req
271. Well, he get his creativity
from my mom.
Copy !req
272. She's no longer with us,
Copy !req
273. but I know she's looking down
at Luxx so happy.
Copy !req
274. And he gets it from me
and his dad,
Copy !req
275. so it's the whole family
he gets his creativity—
Copy !req
276. So—you're all very modest,
aren't you?
Copy !req
277. Yes.
Copy !req
278. Yes.
Copy !req
279. Thomas, tell me,
Copy !req
280. what's your favorite thing
about Luxx?
Copy !req
281. Everything.
Copy !req
282. I love everything about them.
- Aw.
Copy !req
283. I'm so proud.
Copy !req
284. So proud.
Copy !req
285. That's very sweet.
Copy !req
286. So, Luxx, final question:
Copy !req
287. Why do you love drag?
Copy !req
288. I love drag because
Copy !req
289. I'm able to express every
wild, crazy thought
Copy !req
290. that I've ever had
in my entire life—
Copy !req
291. and trust me, there's plenty.
Copy !req
292. It's the reason I wake up
in the morning
Copy !req
293. and it's what keeps me
up at night.
Copy !req
294. I wouldn't be half the person
I am today
Copy !req
295. if I'd never discovered drag.
Copy !req
296. I love it.
Copy !req
297. Well, she's got beaucoup style
Copy !req
298. and a whole lot
of "Black Butta."
Copy !req
299. Give it up
for Luxx Noir London.
Copy !req
300. If you are Team Luxx,
Copy !req
301. sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
302. Coming up, our
top four showdown heats up.
Copy !req
303. Plus, an extra special
live performance
Copy !req
304. by Leland and Orville Peck.
Copy !req
305. And later, the final Lip-Sync
for the Crown
Copy !req
306. when the grand finale
Copy !req
307. of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
continues.
Copy !req
308. Welcome back to the grand
finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
309. Tonight we wanna take a moment
Copy !req
310. to honor the iconic Bob Mackie.
Copy !req
311. Take a look.
Copy !req
312. You know what I always say:
Copy !req
313. Cher was born naked
and the rest was Bob Mackie.
Copy !req
314. Growing up, Bob Mackie
always dreamed
Copy !req
315. of a life in show business.
Copy !req
316. When he was 21 years old,
Copy !req
317. his grandmother gave Bob
his first sewing machine,
Copy !req
318. and he never looked back.
Copy !req
319. Bob moved to Hollywood where
he began his dazzling career
Copy !req
320. at Paramount Studios.
Copy !req
321. Bob married
actress Lulu Porter
Copy !req
322. and the two have a son, Robin.
Copy !req
323. Later, Bob worked
as an assistant
Copy !req
324. to designer Ray Aghayan.
Copy !req
325. A romance blossomed,
Copy !req
326. and the pair became
life partners
Copy !req
327. in a relationship
that lasted 50 years.
Copy !req
328. A talented artist,
Copy !req
329. Bob sketched
the infamous dress
Copy !req
330. Marilyn Monroe wore when she
sang "Happy Birthday" to JFK.
Copy !req
331. From there, Bob created
his own signature style.
Copy !req
332. Soon, every leading lady
was begging to wear
Copy !req
333. a Bob Mackie original.
Copy !req
334. Bob designed costumes
for all 11 seasons
Copy !req
335. of "The Carol Burnett Show."
Copy !req
336. Many times, I didn't know
how I was going
Copy !req
337. to do a character in a sketch
Copy !req
338. until I went to the costume
fitting on Wednesday
Copy !req
339. and saw what Bob
had created for me.
Copy !req
340. In his six-decade career,
Copy !req
341. Bob has transfixed
TV audiences,
Copy !req
342. brightened Broadway,
lit up Las Vegas,
Copy !req
343. and set the silver screen
on fire.
Copy !req
344. Today, Bob Mackie remains
in a class all by himself,
Copy !req
345. and a new generation
of leading ladies
Copy !req
346. is still begging to wear
a Bob Mackie original.
Copy !req
347. Look at just his body
of work on me.
Copy !req
348. I mean, if you look at
every young girl, hip girl
Copy !req
349. has got a version
of something that I've worn.
Copy !req
350. Bob Mackie is my hero,
Copy !req
351. and it was a dream come true
to wear his creations,
Copy !req
352. and an even bigger thrill
when he agreed
Copy !req
353. to be the first ever
guest judge
Copy !req
354. on "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
355. Mr. Bob Mackie.
Copy !req
356. Hey, Ru. You're gorgeous.
Copy !req
357. 15 seasons later,
Copy !req
358. Bob Mackie continues
to inspire.
Copy !req
359. Who's the designer?
Copy !req
360. It's an original Bob Mackie.
Copy !req
361. Mackie, doll.
Copy !req
362. I'm sure Mr. Mackie
will love that too.
Copy !req
363. I hope he does.
Copy !req
364. In recognition of his
priceless contributions
Copy !req
365. to glamour, beauty,
and excitement,
Copy !req
366. "RuPaul's Drag Race"
is proud to present
Copy !req
367. the first ever Giving Us
Lifetime Achievement Award
Copy !req
368. to the one and only
Bob Mackie.
Copy !req
369. All rise for Bob Mackie.
Copy !req
370. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
371. Wow.
Copy !req
372. To all the queens
around the world,
Copy !req
373. don't let anyone or anything...
Copy !req
374. dim your sparkle.
Copy !req
375. Yes.
Copy !req
376. Be sure to watch
the new Bob Mackie documentary
Copy !req
377. coming out later this year.
Copy !req
378. Now back to
the Battle for the Crown.
Copy !req
379. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
380. Up next, a queen
who steals the spotlight
Copy !req
381. wherever she goes.
Copy !req
382. Take a look.
Copy !req
383. From the moment I stepped
in the Werkroom,
Copy !req
384. I know I gag the girls.
Copy !req
385. That's why I'm the showstopper.
Copy !req
386. I literally wake up
thinking about drag.
Copy !req
387. Drag is my job.
Copy !req
388. Drag is what I do
in my free time.
Copy !req
389. This is more than
just my career.
Copy !req
390. This is literally my life.
Copy !req
391. I represent for so many
different people.
Copy !req
392. I represent for
the plus-sized girls.
Copy !req
393. Of course I put out
for Houston, Texas.
Copy !req
394. But most importantly tonight,
I'm representing
Copy !req
395. for anyone who's ever
been told they couldn't.
Copy !req
396. Baby, I'm living proof
that you can
Copy !req
397. as long as you put
your mind to it.
Copy !req
398. The "Drag Race" journey
has been a very unique one.
Copy !req
399. I'm happy to say that
when I got to "Drag Race,"
Copy !req
400. I wasn't, like, totally
thrown off by anything.
Copy !req
401. I definitely got to experience
Copy !req
402. so many things
for the first time.
Copy !req
403. I didn't think
that I was gonna
Copy !req
404. slay acting challenges,
but, I mean,
Copy !req
405. I always act a fool
and cut up,
Copy !req
406. so I know I'll at least
be cute at it.
Copy !req
407. Throughout the competition,
Copy !req
408. there definitely were
some times
Copy !req
409. where I had
my emotional moments.
Copy !req
410. Watching it back has
been so crazy
Copy !req
411. because my story has resonated
with so many people.
Copy !req
412. I have people who come to me
Copy !req
413. and they just, like,
are bawling
Copy !req
414. when they see me
because they've been through
Copy !req
415. so much similar things
with their family
Copy !req
416. or, like, they've never seen
someone like themselves on TV.
Copy !req
417. And, like, I'm very grateful
Copy !req
418. that I've made these
connections with people
Copy !req
419. and it makes everything
worth it.
Copy !req
420. - Perfect.
Copy !req
421. Diamonds have always
brought me luck, baby.
Copy !req
422. Tonight, I'll be performing
my original song, "Delusion."
Copy !req
423. It's about a girl, who may
or may not be patient zero,
Copy !req
424. who is ready to cure the town
of their drag delusion.
Copy !req
425. Why don't you come up
and crown me sometime?
Copy !req
426. I feel like this song embodies
everything that Mistress is.
Copy !req
427. It's about celebrating authenticity
Copy !req
428. and being yourself.
Copy !req
429. I'm excited to give
one final performance
Copy !req
430. that everyone can remember.
Copy !req
431. Move over, "Let Loose."
Copy !req
432. "Delusion" is coming through.
Copy !req
433. And now,
Mistress Isabelle Brooks.
Copy !req
434. Oh.
Copy !req
435. Delusion.
Copy !req
436. Delusion.
Copy !req
437. Delusion.
Copy !req
438. Wow.
Copy !req
439. Mistress. Oh, my gosh.
Copy !req
440. All right.
Copy !req
441. It's time for
the judges' critiques.
Copy !req
442. Baby, tonight when those men
lifted you up,
Copy !req
443. you cleared up all
the confusion
Copy !req
444. if you could be lifted, baby.
- Yes.
Copy !req
445. - All of it.
Copy !req
446. She's in her Finale era, huh?
Copy !req
447. Anybody who didn't like that
is delusional.
Copy !req
448. Well done.
Copy !req
449. Now, what's something
fans would be
Copy !req
450. surprised to know about you?
Copy !req
451. Y'all are not gonna
believe me,
Copy !req
452. but I think y'all will be
surprised to know
Copy !req
453. I held back so much
and I really watched my mouth.
Copy !req
454. Okay.
Copy !req
455. Now, you said your heart goes
out to all the big girls.
Copy !req
456. Do you have a message
for them tonight?
Copy !req
457. Put. That. Down.
Copy !req
458. You know, I will say this:
Copy !req
459. To anyone out there,
big or small,
Copy !req
460. whatever it is, you're capable
Copy !req
461. of doing anything that
anyone else can do.
Copy !req
462. Life is so short, bitch.
Copy !req
463. Live every day to its fullest
Copy !req
464. and never let a bitch
keep you down, period.
Copy !req
465. So, Mistress, who's here
supporting you tonight?
Copy !req
466. Tonight,
I have my drag mother,
Copy !req
467. the legendary Chevelle Brooks.
Copy !req
468. Yeah.
Copy !req
469. And I also have
my best friend, Steven.
Copy !req
470. Ah, nice.
Copy !req
471. Now, Mother Brooks,
is there a softer side
Copy !req
472. to Mistress?
Copy !req
473. Yeah, her pants.
Copy !req
474. But, no, she really is.
Copy !req
475. She really is a sweetheart,
Copy !req
476. and she speaks from the heart.
Copy !req
477. You made Houston proud,
you made me proud,
Copy !req
478. and you made yourself proud.
Copy !req
479. Congratulations. I love you.
Copy !req
480. Thank you, Mother Brooks.
Copy !req
481. Now, Mistress, why are
drag families so important?
Copy !req
482. My drag family is my family,
Copy !req
483. and I've learned so many
life lessons through drag,
Copy !req
484. and I owe so much to that woman
sitting right there.
Copy !req
485. She's taught me so much
as an entertainer,
Copy !req
486. but more importantly,
as a person
Copy !req
487. and how to navigate my life
and a queer person.
Copy !req
488. And because of her,
I get to travel
Copy !req
489. and carry on that legacy
Copy !req
490. and, of course,
nurture the next generation,
Copy !req
491. even if they're five days
younger than me
Copy !req
492. like my daughters
Sugar and Spice.
Copy !req
493. Now, I have one thing to say.
Copy !req
494. We're living in
the Big Girl era,
Copy !req
495. and I love it.
Copy !req
496. Give it up for
Mistress Isabelle Brooks.
Copy !req
497. If you are Team Mistress,
Copy !req
498. sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
499. Up next, our final top four
showdown performance.
Copy !req
500. Later, the return of
America's next drag superstar,
Copy !req
501. Willow Pill,
when the grand finale
Copy !req
502. of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
continues.
Copy !req
503. Welcome back
to the grand finale
Copy !req
504. of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
505. Our final queen
is a rare combination
Copy !req
506. of face, grace,
and va-va-va-voom.
Copy !req
507. Take a look.
Copy !req
508. I am Sasha Colby,
the bombshell of season 15.
Copy !req
509. This season has been so wild.
Copy !req
510. There have been
so many fun memories.
Copy !req
511. It was an
out-of-body experience.
Copy !req
512. I don't even know
who that girl is on TV.
Copy !req
513. She's hilarious.
Copy !req
514. And a great butt.
Copy !req
515. I'm so glad everyone got
to see Sasha Colby doing
Copy !req
516. her hair whips that
she loves to do, honey,
Copy !req
517. in 40 inches.
Copy !req
518. I feel in this journey that
I have evolved so much,
Copy !req
519. not just in my drag,
but as a human being.
Copy !req
520. Maybe I am the
Dumbledore of drag.
Copy !req
521. Thanks, Mistress.
Copy !req
522. Muggle.
Copy !req
523. Oh, bitch, you know I've been
waiting to say that
Copy !req
524. since she fucking
called me Dumbledore.
Copy !req
525. I'm like,
you motherfucking muggle.
Copy !req
526. Beautiful.
Copy !req
527. She's been around the block
a few times, honey.
Copy !req
528. I'm so grateful to be here,
but it takes a village.
Copy !req
529. What I want to tell my family—
Copy !req
530. my chosen family
and the few biological family
Copy !req
531. that I do keep in contact—
Copy !req
532. I just want
to honestly tell you—
Copy !req
533. oh, my God. I'm gonna cry.
Copy !req
534. I just wanna tell you
thank you so much
Copy !req
535. for believing in me.
Copy !req
536. I love you all so much.
Copy !req
537. Sorbet you stay.
Copy !req
538. It really feels like
this last round
Copy !req
539. is just kind of
the cherry on top
Copy !req
540. to an amazing season.
Copy !req
541. My solo number tonight
is "Goddess."
Copy !req
542. It's my take on kind of
like a Medusa snake goddess.
Copy !req
543. In this performance,
you're gonna get
Copy !req
544. everything that you wanted
from Sasha Colby.
Copy !req
545. Tiger, baby.
Copy !req
546. Yeah.
Copy !req
547. Buckle up,
strap yourselves in,
Copy !req
548. 'cause, Mama, this bombshell
is ready to explode.
Copy !req
549. Atomic.
Copy !req
550. And now, Sasha Colby!
Copy !req
551. G-O-D-D-E-S-S.
Copy !req
552. That bitch is a goddess.
Copy !req
553. G-O-D-D-E-S-S.
Copy !req
554. That bitch is a goddess.
Copy !req
555. She's not trying to impress.
Copy !req
556. She's just being honest.
Copy !req
557. G-O-D-D-E-S-S.
Copy !req
558. That bitch is a goddess.
Copy !req
559. Aah!
Copy !req
560. Yes, bitch!
Copy !req
561. Sasha, Sasha!
Copy !req
562. Oh, my goodness!
Copy !req
563. Wow. Amazing.
Copy !req
564. Let's go to the judges'
critiques.
Copy !req
565. To quote your song,
that bitch is
Copy !req
566. a G-O-D-D-E-S-S,
Copy !req
567. and she's also
a consummate professional.
Copy !req
568. I would spell it,
but I don't know how.
Copy !req
569. OMG, oh my goddess,
Copy !req
570. I'm so glad I bought
VIP tickets
Copy !req
571. to the Sasha Colby
meet and greet!
Copy !req
572. That was... phenomenal.
Copy !req
573. I love it.
Now, Sasha,
Copy !req
574. you are the goddess,
but the goddess of what?
Copy !req
575. Oh, I mean,
the goddess of...
Copy !req
576. hair flips!
Copy !req
577. What's been the best part
of this journey here?
Copy !req
578. The best part
is actually meeting
Copy !req
579. all of the fans
of "Drag Race,"
Copy !req
580. and the parents who, honestly,
Copy !req
581. come up to me all over
the place,
Copy !req
582. and they just are so—
not just accepting,
Copy !req
583. but celebratory of drag.
Copy !req
584. Now, I've heard you
use the term mahu.
Copy !req
585. What does that mean?
Copy !req
586. Okay, so mahu in Hawaiian,
Copy !req
587. it's the third gender
in Hawaiian culture.
Copy !req
588. And people in the community
trusted queer people and mahus
Copy !req
589. to handle their kids
Copy !req
590. because what is more divine
than knowing
Copy !req
591. both feminine
and masculine energy?
Copy !req
592. I love it!
Copy !req
593. I love it.
Copy !req
594. So, Sasha, who's here
supporting you tonight?
Copy !req
595. Oh, my family,
my chosen family.
Copy !req
596. I have my best friend's fiancé
Copy !req
597. and my content creator
Clint Clark.
Copy !req
598. and my sister from Hawaii,
Laurel Thompson.
Copy !req
599. - So Clint.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
600. What do you admire most
about Sasha?
Copy !req
601. I admire...
just your fearlessness
Copy !req
602. and your commitment
to what you do.
Copy !req
603. Um...
Copy !req
604. and I love that you're able
to also act a fool
Copy !req
605. and share that side of you also.
Copy !req
606. Go, Carl.
Copy !req
607. Did Carl make you feel
tingly inside?
Copy !req
608. Uh, I was like, we're family,
so I have to... you know.
Copy !req
609. Modesty, brother, modesty.
Copy !req
610. Sasha, what do you
dream of doing next?
Copy !req
611. Ooh! Uh, I mean, I love
a good manifestation moment.
Copy !req
612. - Mm-hmm.
- So I'm seeing my own TV show,
Copy !req
613. I'm seeing acting,
I'm seeing music—
Copy !req
614. all thanks...
Copy !req
615. All thanks to this show
Copy !req
616. and you.
Copy !req
617. That's very kind.
Copy !req
618. Well, neck crack,
paddy wack—
Copy !req
619. give it up for Sasha Colby!
Copy !req
620. Are you Team Sasha?
Copy !req
621. Sound off using #DragRace.
Copy !req
622. Plus, all the songs
from tonight's season finale
Copy !req
623. are available now
to download and stream.
Copy !req
624. Coming up,
an extra special performance
Copy !req
625. by Leland, Orville Peck,
Copy !req
626. and the queens of season 15.
Copy !req
627. Plus the return of Kornbread
when the grand finale
Copy !req
628. of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
keeps on keepin' on.
Copy !req
629. Play us out, Mr. DJ.
Copy !req
630. Welcome back to the grand
finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Copy !req
631. All hail our top four queens!
Copy !req
632. Bring back my girls.
Copy !req
633. My queens,
Copy !req
634. all season long,
your charisma,
Copy !req
635. uniqueness, nerve, and talent
have been on fire.
Copy !req
636. But tonight,
only two of you
Copy !req
637. will be moving forward to the
final Lip-Sync for the Crown.
Copy !req
638. Ladies,
I've made some decisions.
Copy !req
639. Anetra...
Copy !req
640. Sasha Colby.
Copy !req
641. Condragulations.
Copy !req
642. You are both moving forward
Copy !req
643. to the final Lip-Sync
for the Crown.
Copy !req
644. Now, Anetra and Sasha,
please go get ready.
Copy !req
645. Luxx and Mistress,
Copy !req
646. on behalf of all the fans
Copy !req
647. and from the bottom
of my heart,
Copy !req
648. thank you for an epic season.
Copy !req
649. Give it up for my girls!
Copy !req
650. Last summer, we filmed
"The Rusical."
Copy !req
651. set in an American town
where drag was outlawed.
Copy !req
652. Less than a year later,
Copy !req
653. that fiction has become
a harsh reality,
Copy !req
654. reminding us that we can take
our human rights for granted.
Copy !req
655. "We hold these truths
to be self-evident,
Copy !req
656. that all people
are created equal."
Copy !req
657. That they are endowed
by their creator
Copy !req
658. with certain unalienable rights.
Copy !req
659. That among these are life...
Copy !req
660. Liberty...
Copy !req
661. And the pursuit
of happiness.
Copy !req
662. Why would you ever wanna
take away someone's happiness?
Copy !req
663. As proud Americans,
Copy !req
664. there are so many things
that connect us.
Copy !req
665. - That connect us.
- That connect us.
Copy !req
666. That connect us.
Copy !req
667. But there are forces
in this country
Copy !req
668. that wanna divide us.
Copy !req
669. Queer people don't come
from another planet.
Copy !req
670. We are your sons.
Copy !req
671. We're your daughters.
Copy !req
672. We're your neighbors.
Copy !req
673. We're your favorite uncles.
Copy !req
674. We're your tías.
Copy !req
675. We're police officers.
Copy !req
676. We're your teachers.
Copy !req
677. - Firefighters.
- We're nurses.
Copy !req
678. - Caretakers.
- We're immigrants.
Copy !req
679. - Drag kings.
- We're priests.
Copy !req
680. So the next time someone
tries to scare you with lies...
Copy !req
681. Or tries to tell you
what to wear...
Copy !req
682. - Who to love...
- Or how to be...
Copy !req
683. Remind them...
Copy !req
684. I am American.
Copy !req
685. I am American.
Copy !req
686. I am American.
Copy !req
687. I am American.
Copy !req
688. All of us...
- Share the same
Copy !req
689. American dream.
Copy !req
690. All of us...
- Should share
Copy !req
691. the same American rights.
Copy !req
692. We're all born naked.
Copy !req
693. And the rest is drag.
Copy !req
694. And the rest is drag.
Copy !req
695. The rest is drag.
Copy !req
696. And the rest... is drag.
Copy !req
697. Here to perform
"Built on Drag,"
Copy !req
698. "Wigloose" composer Leland,
Orville Peck,
Copy !req
699. and the queens
of season 15.
Copy !req
700. Coming up, the return of
our reigning drag superstar,
Copy !req
701. Willow Pill.
Copy !req
702. And Kornbread announces
this year's Miss Congeniality.
Copy !req
703. Theydies and gentlethems,
Copy !req
704. welcome back America's
reigning drag superstar,
Copy !req
705. Willow Pill.
Copy !req
706. What are you all doing
in my bathroom?
Copy !req
707. I'm so excited to be here
Copy !req
708. to help pass on the crown
Copy !req
709. to America's next
drag superstar.
Copy !req
710. This year has been wild.
Copy !req
711. Mushroom sales have skyrocketed
since my crowning.
Copy !req
712. And most importantly,
Copy !req
713. for the first time
in my life...
Copy !req
714. I topped.
Copy !req
715. It's also been a year of grief
and personal struggles.
Copy !req
716. But I'm at a place where I
really, really love what I do.
Copy !req
717. So just know if the winner
of "RuPaul's Drag Race,"
Copy !req
718. the most adored woman
in America,
Copy !req
719. with her gorgeous ass
is struggling,
Copy !req
720. then it's okay
if you are too.
Copy !req
721. And for whichever queen
wins tonight,
Copy !req
722. I have one piece of advice.
Copy !req
723. Only shoplift
the small things, okay?
Copy !req
724. Now, ladies, gentlemen,
and everyone with a mullet,
Copy !req
725. please welcome my sister,
Copy !req
726. Kornbread "The Snack" Jeté.
Copy !req
727. Good evening!
Copy !req
728. Kornbread,
you're looking... different.
Copy !req
729. You know,
I got a little work done.
Copy !req
730. Meow.
Copy !req
731. But that's not the only
reason I'm here.
Copy !req
732. The reason I'm here
is to announce
Copy !req
733. the winner of this season's
Miss Congeniality.
Copy !req
734. Hit it!
Copy !req
735. - Yeah!
Copy !req
736. Whoo!
Copy !req
737. Thank you, Kornbread,
you stupid bitch.
Copy !req
738. Okay now,
the queens of season 15
Copy !req
739. have voted.
Copy !req
740. The winner of
Miss Congeniality Season 15
Copy !req
741. will win $10,000,
presented by
Copy !req
742. Olay Body.
Copy !req
743. And the winner is...
Copy !req
744. Malaysia Babydoll Foxx!
Copy !req
745. Malaysia,
what do you have to say?
Copy !req
746. In a season full of eras,
Copy !req
747. I guess I'm finally
in my Congenial era!
Copy !req
748. Now, that's not all.
Copy !req
749. Olay Body would also
like to offer
Copy !req
750. all the queens $2,000 each
Copy !req
751. for a sickening season.
Copy !req
752. - Wow!
- Yas!
Copy !req
753. Thank you.
Copy !req
754. Condragulations, queens.
Copy !req
755. Hey, everyone,
it's Michelle Visage here
Copy !req
756. with my dear friend
Vanessa Williams!
Copy !req
757. Mark your calendars

Copy !req
762. Take a look.
Copy !req
763. Let the drag extravaganza

Copy !req
764. of "Queen of the Universe"

Copy !req
765. It's time to spice up
the competition.
Copy !req
766. Are you ready
for your life to change?
Copy !req
767. With sky-high stakes...
Copy !req
768. She is a pop star.
Copy !req
769. And drag like
you've never seen before.
Copy !req
770. - Wow!
Copy !req
771. Whose voice
will rule the universe?
Copy !req
772. As they say in Australia:
Copy !req
773. Kick it in the!
Copy !req

Copy !req
775. Line?
Copy !req
776. I'm Jinkx Monsoon,

Copy !req
777. drag queen superstar.
Copy !req
778. Aah!
Copy !req
779. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Copy !req
780. The stress is just
really getting to me.
Copy !req
781. - Your ear falling off—
- You're gonna have to
