142. - Thank you so much, Jamal.

143. Great job.Copy !req
144. Yeah.Copy !req
145. Well, now, Jewels,
in the Vegas episode,Copy !req
146. Latrice asked,
what's your five-year plan,Copy !req
147. and you didn't answer her then.Copy !req
148. Do you have one now?Copy !req
149. Yeah, Ru, I wanna be you.Copy !req
150. No, I'm serious.Copy !req
151. I'm serious.Copy !req
152. Growing up in Florida, I saw
"Drag Race" for the first time,Copy !req
153. and everything that I thought
was wrong about myself,Copy !req
154. you kind of told me it's okay.Copy !req
155. You're perfect.Copy !req
156. And here I am a few years later
on the show in the top four.Copy !req
157. I love that.Copy !req
158. Now, Jewels,
looking back over your life,Copy !req
159. what advice would you offer
to five-year-old Dario?Copy !req
160. Aw.Copy !req
161. Oh, my God. Look at that.Copy !req
162. I would say all your dreams
are gonna come true.Copy !req
163. You will one day become
the little Barbie dollCopy !req
164. that you play with
every single day.Copy !req
165. But the road to get there,
it won't be easy.Copy !req
166. You're gonna lose faith.Copy !req
167. You're gonna get sick.Copy !req
168. You're gonna get scared, and
you're gonna doubt yourself.Copy !req
169. Build a better relationship
with your brotherCopy !req
170. because you might not have him
for a very long time,Copy !req
171. but the one thing you have
that's gonna keep you goingCopy !req
172. is you've always
known who you are.Copy !req
173. The people around you
have always supported youCopy !req
174. to be who you are.Copy !req
175. There is a light, and all
your dreams will come true.Copy !req
176. We love you.Copy !req
177. So, Jewels, who's here
supporting you tonight?Copy !req
178. My parents.Copy !req
179. My mom and my dad.Copy !req
180. I love you.Copy !req
181. Love you.Copy !req
182. It's the Family Jewels.Copy !req
183. Hola.Copy !req
184. Hola.Copy !req
185. Of course,
we already know Salchica.Copy !req
186. Hey, queens!Copy !req
187. Are you still doing drag?Copy !req
188. I wanted to come
today in drag.Copy !req
189. Yes.Copy !req
190. Well, are you tucked right now?Copy !req
191. Always tucked.Copy !req
192. Now, what would
you tell parentsCopy !req
193. who are raising
a little fabulous childCopy !req
194. like your little Dario?Copy !req
195. We're blessed with this kids.Copy !req
196. You have to love them.Copy !req
197. You have to support them.Copy !req
198. Go to the shows,
like we did when he started.Copy !req
199. We were there every night.Copy !req
200. Everyone should have lovely
parents, as little Dario has.Copy !req
201. You're very blessed.Copy !req
202. All right, now,
one final question—Copy !req
203. what would it mean
to you to becomeCopy !req
204. America's Next Drag Superstar?Copy !req
205. It would mean
everything to me,Copy !req
206. but I think it would mean
more to my people.Copy !req
207. We're going through a very
scary time in politicsCopy !req
208. right now in our country.Copy !req
209. But I'm a product
of immigration,Copy !req
210. and I'm proof that the
American dream can still exist.Copy !req
211. My parents came here
for that dream, and here I am,Copy !req
212. a little Latino kid, you know,
on "Drag Race" in the top four.Copy !req
213. And if I can do it,
I think there areCopy !req
214. so many people who deserve
that same chance,Copy !req
215. the community celebration.Copy !req
216. And they need
a superhero right now.Copy !req
217. Yeah.Copy !req
218. Well, my precious Jewels, thank

227. But Joella will
always be my number oneCopy !req
228. Katie cat drag queen.Copy !req
229. Let's take her on tour.Copy !req
230. Coming up, a celebrationCopy !req
231. of the one and only
Liza Minnelli.Copy !req
232. And later, the return of

233. Nymphia Winds,

been one unique hellCopy !req
243. of a roller coaster ride.Copy !req
244. Oh, Jesus Christ.Copy !req
245. Ah, you know?Copy !req
246. It started off so high
with my roller skating win.Copy !req
247. And then I kind of,Copy !req
248. I guess you could say,
needed a walker.Copy !req
249. Who ruined my outfit?Copy !req
250. My biggest struggle
in the competition,Copy !req
251. honestly, was just dealing
with my own emotions.Copy !req
252. You called Suzie
before me, girl.Copy !req
253. You got what
you wanted, girl.Copy !req
254. You know, an eye for an eye
makes the whole world blind.Copy !req
255. Mommy!Copy !req

trans women out there.Copy !req

like, just fully embrace it.Copy !req
262. You got it, kiddo.Copy !req
263. You're the only person who
doesn't know you have it.Copy !req
264. I think developing

265. throughout this competitionCopy !req
266. has allowed me
to rewrite my story.Copy !req
267. Give that to me, Mother.
It feels good.Copy !req
268. The biggest thing
that I have learnedCopy !req
269. is that I'm a superstar.Copy !req
270. If I am able to snatch
this crown tonight, honey,Copy !req
271. I am going to run naked
through the streetsCopy !req
272. with just that crown on.Copy !req
273. It's time to let
this old bitch work.Copy !req
274. Let's go.Copy !req

287. That—that sexy "Starlight

288. Just—you're on a roll, baby.Copy !req
289. It's been so much fun
to see you flourishCopy !req
290. through this competition.Copy !req

drag bring you joy?Copy !req
297. Drag brings me joy
through my audience, really.Copy !req
298. I provide people
with so much joy.Copy !req
299. And I didn't really
realize that I was doing thatCopy !req
300. until I started
to get that back from them.Copy !req
301. And now it's just, like,
a two-way street.Copy !req

and Jessica Dimon.Copy !req
326. - Aw.
- Aw.Copy !req
327. Noemi, what drew you
to Lexi Love?Copy !req
328. We both were working
in the same nightclub,Copy !req
329. both had a lot of hard times.Copy !req
330. I had lost my mother, and she
was kicked out of her house.Copy !req
331. And we could see
through the beautiful surfaceCopy !req
332. to all the fucking cracks
that we have inside.Copy !req
333. And we were able
to save one another.Copy !req
334. And I've never been
more proud in my life.Copy !req
335. I love you.Copy !req
336. So, Lexi, what would
it mean to you to becomeCopy !req
337. America's Next Drag Superstar?Copy !req
338. It would mean everything.Copy !req
339. It would mean that
I have an opportunityCopy !req
340. to give somebody else like me
a hopeCopy !req
341. for a completely new beginning.Copy !req
342. I know that I have
one now, mama.Copy !req

377. Whoo!Copy !req

struggles in the competition,Copy !req
379. besides the sewing challenges,
would probablybeCopy !req
380. getting out of my own wayCopy !req
381. and not taking everything
so serious.Copy !req
382. I'm not about to ask no bitch
for something that I needCopy !req

to be sharing.Copy !req
384. Like, everybody else's shit.Copy !req
385. - Just own it.

you were born to be.Copy !req
400. Ha!Copy !req
401. Uh, come on.Copy !req
402. Yeah!Copy !req
403. - I love you!

walk down the runway,Copy !req
423. taking your sweet ass time.Copy !req
424. Didn't nobody give me
no time limit,Copy !req
425. so I might as well

431. So what's the response
been like back in Cleveland?Copy !req

433. All of Cleveland,
all the clubs selling my merch.Copy !req

442. that I am so proud of you.Copy !req
443. And I want you to know that
you are beautiful enough.Copy !req
444. You are kind enough.Copy !req
445. You are Black enough.Copy !req
446. And you are loved.Copy !req
447. And when you walk outside
that door every single day,Copy !req
448. you look your head up
to the skyCopy !req
449. because, baby,
that's the limit.Copy !req
450. Okay?Copy !req
451. Yes.Copy !req
452. I love it.Copy !req
453. All right, so, Onya, who's
here supporting you tonight?Copy !req
454. My mother, Nina,
and my father, Andre.Copy !req
455. Hi, baby.Copy !req
456. Now, I recognize
Nunya Business.Copy !req
457. Hey.Copy !req
458. Nunya, are you
feeling fierce tonight?Copy !req
459. Oh, you know
I'm feeling fierce.Copy !req
460. I'm feeling real fierce
right now.Copy !req
461. So, Nina, when you see
Onya in drag, who do you see?Copy !req
462. Child.Copy !req
463. It's all me.Copy !req
464. Everything this
beautiful child has,Copy !req
465. it comes from me
and my grandmother.Copy !req
466. Okay.Copy !req
467. So we played in her wigs,
put on makeup, put on lashes.Copy !req
468. I love it.Copy !req
469. And here we are.
- Here we are.Copy !req
470. And here we are.Copy !req
471. And I am so
immensely proud of him.Copy !req

474. So, Onya, what would
it mean to you to becomeCopy !req
475. America's Next Drag Superstar?Copy !req
476. It would mean the world.Copy !req
477. It would mean that everything
that I've done in my lifeCopy !req
478. has paid off.Copy !req
479. I could continue to spread joy.Copy !req
480. I think I would be a perfect
representation for this crown.Copy !req
481. And I could show
other entertainersCopy !req
482. that look just like me,
dreams do come true.Copy !req
483. Girl, I gotta tell you,
this season, you have workedCopy !req
484. my last nerve, and I love it.Copy !req
485. Give it up for Onya Nurve.Copy !req
486. If you're Team Onya Nurve,
sound off using #DragRace.Copy !req
487. My favorite queen
so far is Onya.Copy !req
488. Just through the challenge,
I saw her personalityCopy !req
489. really came through.
- Hercules, Hercules!Copy !req
490. She's just got
something about her,Copy !req
491. a little bit of a it factor
that I think is really great.Copy !req
492. Next, the battle for the
crown continues with our finalCopy !req
493. top four performance,
plus an extra special tributeCopy !req
494. to the legendary
Liza Minnelli,Copy !req
495. when the grand finaleCopy !req
496. of "RuPaul's Drag Race"
continues.Copy !req
497. Welcome back to the grand
finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race."Copy !req
498. Last but not least,
our final top four queen.Copy !req
499. Take a look.Copy !req
500. I am Sam Star,
the supermodel of the South,Copy !req
501. the country cutie
with the rock 'n roll booty.Copy !req
502. I heard y'all were looking for
America's Next Drag Superstar!Copy !req
503. I came into the
competition thinkingCopy !req
504. that I had it all figured out,Copy !req
505. I was the perfect,
polished pageant queen,Copy !req
506. but I learned here
that there's so much moreCopy !req
507. to drag than just that.Copy !req
508. My beaver is shaved.Copy !req
509. I had to really push myself
out of my comfort zone.Copy !req
510. It would be great to see
you loosening up a little bit.Copy !req
511. I realize it's not as scary
as I thought it would be.Copy !req
512. I had a variety of wins.Copy !req
513. Hmm. I do declare.Copy !req
514. Doing the makeover
with my momCopy !req
515. was the highest point
of the competition.Copy !req
516. The fact that I got to
share that is so incredible.Copy !req
517. She's just the best.
She's just the best.Copy !req
518. Oh!Copy !req
519. Bless your heart.Copy !req
520. Disease.Copy !req
521. I had ups and downs,
but this competition has beenCopy !req
522. the most amazing experience
of my life.Copy !req
523. Don't hurt nobody.Copy !req
524. No promises.Copy !req
525. How many people get to
actually achieve a dream thatCopy !req
526. was so close to their heart?Copy !req
527. I proved I'm not only a star,
I'm a shooting star.Copy !req
528. It's time, the final lap
of "Drag Race."Copy !req
529. I'm ready to take
the crown, honey.Copy !req
530. And I'm about to
wear these girls out.Copy !req
531. And now it's Sam Star.Copy !req
532. On the night I was born,
the doctor said to my mama,Copy !req
533. through the gap
in his two front teeth,Copy !req
534. "Ma'am, this baby is...Copy !req
535. "Seriously gay.Copy !req
536. But he's gonna be a...
Star."Copy !req
537. All right.Copy !req
538. Wham bam, thank you, Sam.Copy !req
539. Now, let's hear
from our judges.Copy !req
540. It started out
a little "Deliverance"-yCopy !req
541. in the best possible way, and
you delivered the entire time.Copy !req
542. I loved you walking
your own red carpet.Copy !req
543. You BYORC.Copy !req
544. So smart.Copy !req
545. And you were phenomenal.Copy !req
546. Thank you.
Thank you so much.Copy !req
547. Yes.Copy !req
548. Sam Star.Copy !req
549. I think there were 27 reveals.Copy !req
550. You were lifted.
You were tossed.Copy !req
551. Every single trick
in the book was done,Copy !req
552. and you did it beautifully.Copy !req
553. And it was
so much fun to watch.Copy !req
554. Thank you so much.Copy !req
555. Good job, kiddo.Copy !req
556. I wanna ask you, what do you
think is the biggestCopy !req
557. misconception about drag, Sam?Copy !req
558. I think a lot of America
doesn't understand us.Copy !req
559. I think drag queens are
love and light and laughter.Copy !req
560. And when I found drag,
I was finallyCopy !req
561. doing something that I felt
like I was put here to do.Copy !req
562. And I'm so grateful
to be a part of the show,Copy !req
563. to show that even
people from AlabamaCopy !req
564. are fabulous drag queens, okay?Copy !req
565. Hey, Sam, what words of
wisdom do you have to shareCopy !req
566. with your three-year-old self?Copy !req
567. Oh, my God.Copy !req
568. Look, I was even wearing
gay pride shirts then.Copy !req
569. Yes.Copy !req
570. I love it.Copy !req
571. I would say, Sam, it's gonna
be hard a lot of your lifeCopy !req
572. because you're gonna feel
like you don't fit inCopy !req
573. and you don't belong.Copy !req
574. And don't let what the
outside world says about youCopy !req
575. stop you from dreaming.Copy !req
576. Shoot for the stars.Copy !req
577. And if you work hard enough,
you can become one.Copy !req
578. And one day,
you're gonna be standingCopy !req
579. next to RuPaul herself.Copy !req
580. It's absolutely crazy.Copy !req
581. And just go for it.Copy !req
582. Yes.Copy !req
583. Now, who's in the audience
for you?Copy !req
584. I have my beautiful angel.Copy !req
585. Sassy Star is in the house.Copy !req
586. And Sister Star
is also in the house.Copy !req
587. - Now, you're Courtney, right?
- Yes.Copy !req
588. Courtney, tell me about
the first time you found outCopy !req
589. that your Sam was doing drag.Copy !req
590. Well, he's never
really startedCopy !req
591. because he's always done it.Copy !req
592. Me and my friends dressed
him up in dresses when heCopy !req
593. was probably four years old.Copy !req
594. He's always secretly
wanted to be me.Copy !req
595. So here we go.Copy !req
596. Now, Sassy is here.Copy !req
597. Hey, Sassy.Copy !req
598. Hi, Ru.Copy !req
599. Now, you're known
as the mom who alwaysCopy !req
600. shows up at the drag bars.Copy !req
601. If people have never
been to a drag bar,Copy !req
602. explain what happens there.Copy !req
603. Well, you go in
and you get you a drink,Copy !req
604. and you have you
a real good time.Copy !req
605. And you see you—Copy !req
606. and you see you
a real good show.Copy !req
607. And I just love being not
only Sam's mom, but everybodyCopy !req
608. in the bar that comes up
and talks to meCopy !req
609. and tells me how much
they love me.Copy !req
610. All right, now,
final question.Copy !req
611. Sam, why do you want to be
America's Next Drag Superstar?Copy !req
612. I wanna be America's Next
Drag Superstar because I feelCopy !req
613. like I've worked for this.Copy !req
614. I also feel like I want to
represent for the peopleCopy !req
615. who don't really have a voice.Copy !req
616. I think a lot of people from
small towns get, you know,Copy !req
617. bogged down by what they
hear from what's around them.Copy !req
618. And I would love
to represent for them,Copy !req
619. that if you dream big enough
and if you work hard enough,Copy !req
620. you can do it.Copy !req
621. So I'm talking to you
out there, whoever you are.Copy !req
622. Go for it, because if
I can do it, you can.Copy !req
623. And thank y'all so much
for everything.Copy !req
624. Thank you.Copy !req
625. Wonderful.Copy !req
626. In a galaxy of queens,
there's only one Sam Star.Copy !req
627. Give it up for Sam Star.Copy !req
628. If you're Team Sam Star,
sound off using #DragRace.Copy !req
629. I'm gonna go with Sam Star.Copy !req
630. Charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent.Copy !req
631. So don't fuck it up, lady.Copy !req
632. Coming up, Sapphira Cristal

655. We are here watching
drag nature, if you will.Copy !req
656. We have—Copy !req
657. I told Jewels that I
was gonna have her back.Copy !req
658. Our friendship has
nothing to do with you.Copy !req
659. When you left yo' friend,
she sat next to me, bitch.Copy !req
660. Don't act like I can't
say my two cents.Copy !req
661. The emotions are high on

779. of your costumes made at MGM.Copy !req

those things still?Copy !req
783. Somewhere.Copy !req
784. I didn't wanna tell you,
but this dress is one of them.Copy !req

a little girl,Copy !req
788. you loved to watch
the dancers rehearse at MGM.Copy !req

790. Well, you know,
everybody would rushCopy !req
791. to see whatever
my mother was doing,Copy !req
792. and my father especially
because he was making peopleCopy !req
793. do magic.Copy !req
794. Oh, he was the best.Copy !req

802. to record "The Results" album.Copy !req
803. There was a picture
of you in the paperCopy !req
804. holding a guitar to go record
with the Pet Shop Boys.Copy !req
805. Why were you holding a guitar?Copy !req
806. Because they
told me to hold it.Copy !req
807. What would you do, right?Copy !req
808. I'm a director's daughter.Copy !req
809. Yes, yes.Copy !req
810. Well, you are

823. so strange,
so wild, so bananas,Copy !req
824. they made a documentary
about it.Copy !req
825. Take a look.Copy !req
826. Hello.Copy !req
827. It's me, Jane Not Good At All.Copy !req
828. After 60 years of observing
primates in the wild,Copy !req
829. I've been granted a rare
opportunity to observeCopy !req
830. the most divine creature.Copy !req
831. Bananas.Copy !req
832. The Nymphia Wind
in her natural habitat.Copy !req
833. I like dickie.Copy !req
834. The Nymphia demonstrates
remarkable versatility.Copy !req
835. Her distinctive plumage
is famous for attractingCopy !req
836. crowds of other primates.Copy !req
837. The Nymphia is known
to migrate vast distances.Copy !req
838. Here, we observe her
returning to her native TaiwanCopy !req
839. to perform elaborate displays.Copy !req
840. And even in
the harshest climates,Copy !req
841. this resilient
specimen thrives.Copy !req
842. Like my beloved chimpanzees,
the NymphiaCopy !req
843. exhibits a profound affinity
for bananas,Copy !req
844. which are a mainstay
of her fashion diet.Copy !req
845. The Nymphia Wind is a natural
wonder, simply remarkable.Copy !req
846. I now have to greet the queen
and bow before the queen.Copy !req
