120. Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob!

121. Bob! Bob! Bob! Bob!

122. - Wow.

123. Work it out for team humble.

124. Now, while you catch your breath,

125. let's talk to the judges.

126. Michelle Visage, what'd you think?

127. - That was amazing.

128. Come on, choreography.

129. - Phenomenal. I'm so proud of you.

130. And I love that you play safe.

131. Every one of your dancers was wearing a hard hat.

132. I love that.

133. It's important.

134. - I think you need to change your name to Bob The Superstar.

135. - Ooh.

136. Well, thank you, judges.

137. Now, Bob The Drag Queen,

138. from the moment you entered the workroom

139. you had uniqueness, nerve,

140. and talent written all over you.

141. Let's take a look.

142. - My name is Bob The Drag Queen.

143. I'm hilarious, beautiful, talented, and humble.

144. - That's the biggest pearl necklace I've ever seen.

145. - How you doing, RuPaul?

146. - I'm sorry that I'm late,

147. but "Uzo Abubu" left the stage.

148. - Well, then why did I waste my time putting on this?

149. Oh, there's more. This.

150. - Sometimes you borderline on showboating.

151. - Insert shady rattlesnake noise here.

152. - Bob, how's your head? - No complaints.

153. I'm Bob The Drag Queen, a queen for the people.

154. - Now, Bob, when did you first become aware of drag?

155. - I used to watch "To Wong Foo."

156. - Yas!

157. - I saw, like, this, like, glamazonian, like,

158. goddess coming down from the ceiling

159. wearing a big confederate flag.

160. I was like, "Oh, this bitch is—"

161. when I say bitch, I mean it, like,

162. the way you'd call your grandmother a bitch.

163. I was like, "This bitch

164. is pushing buttons, girl," and I loved it.

165. - You excelled at so many of the challenges.

166. Did you study the show before you came on?

167. - No, I'm just really talented.

168. You know, listen,

169. this is my favorite show.

170. This is what I thought I was supposed to be doing

171. my whole life. When I was performing in,

172. like, bars in New York City,

173. dodging beer bottles literally,

174. I was like, "This doesn't feel right.

175. There's something bigger coming."

176. Lo and behold, I found something bigger.

177. Her name is RuPaul, and she blessed me.

178. - Now, Bob, at one point in the season

179. the other queens were rooting for you to fail.

180. - Mm-hmm. - What did that feel like?

181. - It felt like I was doing it right.

182. - I mean, no one's rooting for the person doing the worst.

183. No one's like, "Oh, you're doing bad. You should get out."

184. They're like, "Ooh, she's doing so well.

185. Get her the fuck out of here."

186. - All right, so we've got some

187. fan questions over there.

188. - Hallelu, I'm back, RuPaul!

189. Tucker from Florida wants to know,

190. "Does your humor come

191. from overcoming a dark place in your life?"

192. - Um, see, I mean, I have the struggles

193. that a lot of y'all homosexuals here had, especially—

194. - What? They're—wait, wait—

195. They're—this—

196. These are homosexuals?

197. - A few.

198. I had the same hardships that everyone else here has,

199. and we all deal with it in different ways.

200. If you find something to filter your pain

201. and your anger into, it'll flourish.

202. It really will.

203. - Thank you, Shangela.

204. Now, Bob, you blew everyone away

205. with your Snatch Game impersonations.

206. Now, did you ever hear from Uzo or Carol Channing?

207. - Well, Uzo tweeted at me

208. and was like, "This was amazing,"

209. and I was like, "Thank you,"

210. and I am obsessed with Carol Channing,

211. but she's just—she's 95.

212. It's hard to get out of the house when you're 95.

213. - Yeah, sure.

214. - I'm 18, and it's hard for me to get out, so.

215. - Yeah, I know, I know.

216. Well, we did hear from the one and only Carol Channing.

217. Take a look.

218. - Thank you, Bob,

219. for your colorful impersonation of me.

220. I'm so honored to be a part of your history.

221. Oh, I'm proud of that.

222. - Oh, my God.

223. - Yes.

224. So Bob, I know your brother's over there, right?

225. - Yeah, he's the one who's just a shade darker than me.

226. I'm 11:00. He's midnight.

227. - Justin, what was it like growing up with Bob?

228. - Bob used to cry on my birthdays

229. 'cause it wasn't about him.

230. - That's true. That's true.

231. - Now, Bob, I know that your mother

232. couldn't be here because of her health.

233. - Yes. - Darn, you know,

234. it would have been a great opportunity for us

235. to have a taped message or something,

236. but we didn't—we don't have— wait a minute.

237. Oh, actually, we do have a taped message.

238. - Oh. - Let's roll that.

239. - Hey. - Bob, this is your mother.

240. I'm very proud of you.

241. I've always believed in you,

242. even when you didn't believe in yourself.

243. Continue to work hard on your craft.

244. Always respect your fans.

245. Reach for the stars, Chris, do the best you can.

246. Like I always tell you and your brother,

247. keep the first thing the first thing,

248. and I love you.

249. - You got me. You got me.

250. Oh, my goodness.

251. - Now, Bob, what would it mean to you to win $100,000?

252. - $100,000 isn't the thing because money comes and goes,

253. but winning this title, that means something.

254. You get to go forth and carry a legacy

255. and do something and make a change in somebody's life

256. and put first things first and do something.

257. - Right, well—right, well—

258. - Now, I've watched all 109 episodes

259. of "RuPaul's Drag Race,"

260. and I've noticed you have never once

261. walked into the room purse first.

262. - Oh, my God, look at this.

263. Oh, and it matches my outfit.

264. It's perfect. I love it.

265. Purse first. I love it.

266. Give it up for Bob The Drag Queen.

267. - Are you team Bob?

268. Tweet us now with #dragrace.

269. Next, we're gonna Kim Chi that walk

270. and go big with Naomi Smalls

271. as the grand finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.

272. - Welcome back to the grand finale

273. of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

274. Up next we've got an Instagram superstar

275. who's about to lisp sync for her life.

276. Now serving Kim Chi.

277. - Fat, fem, and Asian.

278. Fat, fem, and Asian.

279. Fat, fem, and Asian.

280. - Wow.

281. Kim Chi, I love that song.

282. It's got a good beat, and you can't dance to it.

283. All right, Kim Chi, let's hear from the judges.

284. Michelle Visage, what's the tea on Kim Chi?

285. - I love that your purity and your beautiful energy

286. took something that was normally considered negative

287. and turned it into something fun and beautiful.

288. - Yes.

289. - Nailed it.

290. - Today Kim Chi is on the menu,

291. and you are the main course.

292. Who's hungry?

293. - Now, Kim Chi, you came to this competition hungry.

294. You won the first challenge,

295. and then you stayed hungry.

296. Let's take a look.

297. - My name is Kim Chi.

298. I came to chop suey the competition.

299. I'm known for crazy, over-the-top

300. pure anime fantasy.

301. - Animazing.

302. - I may across shy because I am soft-spoken,

303. but donut come for me because I'll destroy you.

304. - I do get concerned about your walk.

305. It's very stiff, darling.

306. - Exqueeze me?

307. My mom doesn't know that I do drag.

308. - What?

309. Kim Chi, you didn't just get better.

310. You got fierce.

311. - I don't want to be America's next drag superstar.

312. I am America's next drag superstar.

313. - Now, Kim Chi, you were so honest

314. and vulnerable this season.

315. In fact, watching the show back,

316. at one point you made me ugly cry, girl,

317. so I hope you don't mind

318. if I ask you some very personal questions.

319. First one, when was the last time you fell down?

320. - Actually, earlier today.

321. I'm not even joking.

322. I tripped on my skirt,

323. and I fell over the craft service table.

324. - Now, everyone is gagging on your looks,

325. just so many amazing looks.

326. What inspires you?

327. - My inspiration comes from a lot of random places.

328. I could be walking down the street

329. and see a rock and be like, "Oh, that rock is pretty.

330. Let me make a gown inspired by the rock,"

331. so there's no one set inspiration,

332. but everyday life and nature.

333. - Now, is it true you gave the $3,000

334. you won in the first challenge

335. to your mother? Why'd you do that?

336. - My mom works really hard to, you know, pay the bills,

337. and she works as a server at a Korean restaurant

338. currently, and I want to do everything

339. that I can to help my mom financially.

340. - Yeah.

341. Have you told her that you do drag yet?

342. - I still have not, but, you know, it's like—

343. - She didn't watch the show?

344. - I mean, she's very Korean-American,

345. and she's really, like, not open to American culture at all,

346. so I don't think— yeah, I don't think

347. she'll ever find out about "Drag Race."

348. - Well, listen, I am a firm believer in

349. things happen when they're supposed to happen,

350. so right after this,

351. why don't we drive over to your mother's house

352. and I tell her myself?

353. - Road trip? - Road trip.

354. - Road trip. - Yes.

355. Who's here supporting you tonight?

356. - I have my friend Ryan, Diana, Amy, and Trixie.

357. - So Diana, what do you think of Kim Chi's journey?

358. - I think Kim Chi is the most creative, talented,

359. and hardworking person I know.

360. I'm so happy to be your friend,

361. and I want the best for you.

362. - All right, now, we've got some fan questions

363. for you, Kim Chi.

364. Oh, look, we have the Pit Crew coming d—

365. and they— you forgot your pants, guys.

366. - Kim Chi, Tiara from Facebook asks,

367. "If you could lose your virginity

368. to a member of the Pit Crew,

369. who would it be?"

370. - Um, I'm not trying to catch anything,

371. so I'm gonna say none of them, but—

372. - Shade. Shade.

373. Shade!

374. Oh, thank you, Pit Crew members.

375. I don't know what to say after that.

376. All right, Kim Chi, well, we have one more question.

377. Well, actually, it's more of a statement.

378. Take a look.

379. - Kim Chi, I am supreme leader,

380. but you are supreme drag queen.

381. You better work,

382. or else I put you in a labor camp.

383. Kim Chi, it's Margaret Cho.

384. I'm so proud of you. You're so beautiful.

385. You are so funny, and I think you are a good dancer.

386. - So Kim Chi, what would it mean to you

387. to become America's next drag superstar?

388. - It would obviously change my life.

389. I'd be able to not be broke.

390. I'd be able to afford guacamole on my burrito bowl.

391. I'd be able to start my own makeup company,

392. which I would love to do,

393. and it would mean that

394. anybody who's ever felt like they weren't

395. part of anything, anybody that felt like

396. they couldn't be anything,

397. as long as you stay true to who you are,

398. be creative, be original,

399. and your dreams will eventually come true.

400. - Well, Kim Chi, read my lisp,

401. we love you.

402. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Kim Chi.

403. - Are you team Kim Chi?

404. Then tweet all about it. #dragrace.

405. Up next, Naomi Smalls is gonna stretch her legs

406. when the grand finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.

419. - Wow.

420. Legs for days.

421. Okay, Naomi, let's talk to the judges. Michelle Visage?

422. - Honey, whatever's on the menu, I'm buying two.

423. - Look how far you've come, honey,

424. and you have proven tonight

425. that you have legs up on the competition.

426. Yes, you do.

427. - You came, you saw, you contoured,

428. and you conquered.

429. - Yes.

430. - Thank you, Naomi Smalls.

431. Now, as the youngest queen to compete this season,

432. you've come a long way, baby.

433. Let's take a look.

434. - I am Naomi Smalls.

435. Check your lipstick before you come for me.

436. Naomi has legs all the way up to her asshole.

437. Naomi is a fashion girl.

438. She's fucking fierce.

439. Bitches better beware.

440. - Oh, all of that right there.

441. - I'm giving you Naomi Campbell strutting down

442. a Versace runway.

443. - I just thought it was perfection.

444. - This is how you win this competition.

445. - I have eight brothers and three sisters.

446. - Whoa. - That is crazy.

447. - This is my mom. She's, like, the best mom ever.

448. - Do you have a message you want to say to your mother?

449. - Thank you for everything you've ever done,

450. and I hope I can repay you for the rest of my life.

451. I'm Naomi Smalls,

452. and I promise to represent you fiercely.

453. - Naomi, you have the fever and the flavor for fashion.

454. Now, where does that come from?

455. - I honestly don't know because I grew up in, like,

456. a family that was—sorry, guys,

457. not the most fashion-forward or anything like that,

458. but I just remember, like, looking at magazines

459. when I was a kid and just being so obsessed with them,

460. and I wanted to look like these amazing supermodels

461. that were in the glossy pages. - Sure, yeah.

462. Now, halfway through the competition

463. you seemed to come to life.

464. What happened?

465. - I was so scared in the beginning

466. of standing out and—like, for the wrong reasons,

467. but when it comes to Snatch Game,

468. you can't hide anywhere,

469. and being in the bottom two

470. and having to lip sync for my life

471. just put that fire underneath my ass

472. to take chances and stand out for all the right reasons.

473. - Yeah, you did really well. - Thank you.

474. - Now, Naomi, we have a taped message

475. from one fierce queen.

476. Let's take a look.

477. - Hi, Naomi.

478. Now, in Westeros

479. there's only room for one queen,

480. but in Ru's queendom, girl,

481. I can't wait to see you take that crown.

482. Now... Cersei that walk.

483. - I love that. - So good.

484. - Now, we have some fan questions.

485. G-G-G-Gia?

486. - Herminio from Mexico... - Hi, Herminio.

487. - Would like to know how did it feel

488. when Naomi Campbell checked you online?

489. - It was, like, the biggest moment of my life.

490. - What did she say?

491. - Well, she followed me on Instagram,

492. and then she had, like, this interview saying,

493. "I really am loving that Naomi Smalls," and I, like—

494. - I love that.

495. Tell me this. What would it mean to you

496. to become America's next drag superstar?

497. - It would mean the world to me

498. to be America's next drag superstar.

499. Just to get that stamp of approval

500. from you and carry on your legacy would be—

501. - Yeah, supermodel, work!

502. - The biggest goal I ever met in my life.

503. - I love it. Now, before we go,

504. I want to say hello to your mother.

507. - Would you—where—

508. Oh, there she is.

509. Hi.

510. So June,

511. what was it like raising a leggy supermodel?

512. - Well, I'm a little shocked

513. that he didn't get fashion tips from me.

514. I had no idea.

515. He has always been amazing.

516. - Really? - Yes.

517. - Did you buy the fashion magazines, or did—

518. - No, but I did start buying the wigs and the shoes

519. and the—

520. - Now, besides Naomi, how many kids did you raise?

521. - 12 altogether. - Wow.

524. and sisters tonight?

525. - Well, they're all over the world.

527. - Well, let's bring them out, the Von Trapp family singers.

528. Come on out.

529. Where are they?

530. - Oh! Oh! How are you?

531. - Hi, sweetie. - How are you?

532. How are you? Ahh!

533. - You know, like I always say,

534. the family that drags together slays together.

535. Let's hear it for the legendary,

536. all legs, no dairy, Naomi Smalls.

537. - Are you team Naomi? Then let the world know.

538. Tweet it with #dragrace.

539. Coming up, the queens reunite,

540. we announce Miss Congeniality,

541. and more when the grand finale

542. of "RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.

543. - Welcome back to the grand finale

544. of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

545. Now, we're just moments away from crowning

546. America's next drag superstar,

547. but first it's time to bring back my girls.

548. Starting with a nerdy bird,

549. a glam rock rebel,

550. and one cuckoo queen.

551. - My name is Dax ExclamationPoint.

552. What's up, nerds?

553. My look is very inspired by, like, science fiction

554. and comics, strong, bad bitches

555. who don't take any crap from anybody else.

556. - Show me your exclamation point.

557. - Yeah!

558. - All right, ladies, let's turn up the juice

559. and see what shakes loose.

560. Laila is, like, a whory quasi—

561. I don't want to say gothy,

562. but, like, gothy.

563. My biggest concern is that I'm gonna

564. fade into the background.

565. I'm here too.

566. - Dax ExclamationPoint, Laila McQueen,

567. neither one of you survived that lip sync.

568. Sashay away.

569. - Both of us?

570. Really?

571. - How you doing, mis amores?

572. My name is Cynthia Lee Fontaine. Do you want to see my cuckoo?

573. Cuckoo. Cuckoo.

574. I need a space for this junk in the trunk.

575. I'm sexy as a goddess is.

576. I'm funny as a clown.

577. Did my teeth look yellow? No.

578. - Dax ExclamationPoint and Laila McQueen, welcome back.

579. - Hello. - Hey, Ru.

580. - So Dax, I hear that the song "I Will Survive"

581. is haunting you everywhere you go.

582. Is that true? - Yes,

583. like, literally everywhere I go,

584. like, it could be a gas station, grocery store, anywhere,

585. it just happens to come on.

586. - Listen, if I were you two, I would seize the moment.

587. I would record another song.

588. I would s—call it "I Didn't Survive."

589. You know? It'd be a huge hit.

590. But seriously, there are no losers on "Drag Race."

591. Dax, what's life been like since you were on the show?

592. - Honestly, life has been absolutely amazing.

593. Like, the fans have been phenomenal.

594. I mean, obviously, like, I don't have as many fans as,

595. like, you know, Kim Chi or Bob or Naomi.

596. That's fine. It's fine,

597. but the ones I do have are phenomenal.

598. - Now, I've got a confession to make.

599. Laila McQueen and I have a secret past.

600. I deny it, but there's proof.

601. Take a look.

602. - That little pixie to the right of me is Laila McQueen

603. when I was not running for president

604. in Manchester, New Hampshire.

605. - You know, my grandmother calls you Ron Paul.

606. - Now, did you ever imagine at that point

607. that you would be on this stage?

608. - Oh, absolutely not.

609. I mean, I was performing in,

610. like, function halls and Mexican restaurants.

611. Like, I never imagined being here or anywhere else

612. around the world.

613. - So now, what's happened to you because of "Drag Race"?

614. - I get to go everywhere and meet the people

615. that love the work I do and embrace so much love

616. that I never thought I would see.

617. - All that at the truck stop?

618. So Dax, Laila,

619. you aren't just surviving.

620. You are thriving. Thank you.

621. Next up, straight from Santee Alley,

622. Cynthia Lee Fontaine.

623. Now, since the show, you've been through it,

624. haven't you, girl?

625. - Yes, actually the episode that I been eliminated,

626. I was experience symptoms.

627. I'm here to celebrate that.

628. - Wow. - Yes.

629. - And how do you feel right now?

630. - I'm in the discharge process already right now,

631. so I feel amazing.

632. I feel fantastic. - Good. Yeah.

633. Did any of your drag sisters reach out to you?

634. - Yes, one special person,

635. and it's Acid Betty.

636. - That Acid Betty? - That Acid Betty.

637. Yeah, Acid Betty.

638. She came to visit me as soon

639. as she knew that I was diagnosed.

640. She was taking care of me.

641. She was like, "Bitch, you're not alone.

642. I got your back."

643. I think the positive attitude

644. from all my entire new sisterhood

645. helped me to recovery

646. and helped me to be more positive every day.

647. - Wow.

648. I love it.

649. Well, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, we are cuckoo for your cuckoo.

650. - Thank you.

651. Thank you. Thank you.

652. - Now a queen who always picks up when I call

653. and a badass in total control of herself.

654. Let's take a look.

655. - The beauty is here.

656. My name is Naysha Lopez. I spend money.

657. I don't do drag on a dime.

658. - Naysha Lopez, sashay away.

659. How soon can you get here?

660. - Bitches, I'm back!

661. Face, body, glamour.

662. - Your ass is real?

663. - Yes. Realness, boo.

664. - This acid trip is all real.

665. My drag style is completely over the top, punk unicorn realness.

666. The main bullet point of Acid Betty is she's a bitch.

667. I'm not gonna be unprepared because of you, boo.

668. - Acid Betty,

669. you've taken us on one wild trip.

670. Now, Naysha Lopez, Michelle and I have a running bet, okay?

671. That ass of yours, is it real?

672. - So listen, Ru, I—

673. I eat well. I work out.

674. I have 10 ccs of medical grade silicon.

675. I—no.

676. - So on the show you said your ass was real.

677. - My ass is real.

678. However, have I had some enhancements

679. to the body-ody-ody?

680. - Yeah. - Yes, I have.

681. - Ah.

682. Now, you missed the Madonna runway storyline.

683. - Yes. - What would you have worn?

684. - I'm a very creative person,

685. and what I had going on was another kimono.

686. - What? What is it with these queens

687. and kimonos?

688. Naysha, thanks for gracing us with your gorgeous beauty

689. and that booty twice.

690. - Yes.

691. - Next, Acid Betty.

692. Now, are you really here,

693. or am I having a flashback?

694. Now, you turned out some killer looks this season.

695. - Thank you.

696. - How have fans been to you?

697. - I love the fans.

698. They are the best, the best.

699. The best thing of this show are the fans.

700. The love is so intense, and it's wonderful.

701. I actually had a kid that I met at DragCon,

702. and they decided that they were gonna go into fashion

703. and got a full scholarship to FIDM

704. because of seeing me on the TV show.

705. - Wow. Wow. - That's really great.

706. - Now, Acid Betty, you took a lot of heat

707. for your Nancy Grace impersonation,

708. but some people really, really liked it.

709. Take a look.

710. - Acid Betty, I loved watching you be me,

711. but frankly, speaking professionally,

712. you got a raw deal.

713. You were robbed.

714. No tea, no shade,

715. but unleash the lawyers.

716. We got a case here.

717. - That's fierce. - I love it.

718. Aci, I could go on talking to you all night,

719. but I refuse to say anything further

720. until I lawyer up.

721. Ladies and gentlemen, Acid Betty.

722. - Coming up, get into the groove

723. when Robbie, Thorgy, Derrick,

724. and Chi Chi return,

725. and find out who snatches Miss Congeniality.

726. Plus, are you team Bob,

727. team Kim Chi, or team Naomi?

728. I can't hear you.

729. Tweet us with #dragrace as the grand finale

730. of "RuPaul's Drag Race" continues.

731. Welcome back to the grand finale

732. of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

733. Now, the best way to describe our next three queens

734. is brassy, Brooklyn,

735. and Britney, bitch.

736. - Good morning. My name is Robbie Turner,

737. and I'm the kindest queen you'll ever meet.

738. - Yes, Marilyn. - She's in a league of her own.

739. - I would wear the hell out of that jumpsuit.

740. - Oh! - Oh!

741. - Too real?

742. - Whoo! Thorgy with a T-H and orgy,

743. and I feel incredible.

744. I'm colorful. I'm fun,

745. and I'm a fashion clown.

746. This is harder on me than it is for you guys.

747. No, it's not.

748. I can be campy,

749. but also I can be, like, fucking fierce.

750. Whoo!

751. - I'm so proud of you. Great job.

752. - Yes!

753. - It'd Derrick, bitch.

754. I may look angelic, but I am not that innocent.

755. I also have a career with my wigs on.

756. You'll have a career once you start gluing yours down.

757. - You have to give us more.

758. That is not a Britney reference.

759. - Oh! - Oh!

760. - That's how you go out in style, girls.

761. - Now, Robbie Turner,

762. how does someone so young know so much about classic Hollywood?

763. - My mother and father

764. wouldn't allow us to watch contemporary films,

765. so we watched classic Hollywood films

766. all the time, so I thought they were contemporary.

767. So you can imagine little baby Robbie

768. when she's like, "Judy Garland died many moons ago,"

769. and it's like, "What?"

770. - Now, what was your favorite moment on the show?

771. - On my birthday I won the singing challenge

772. with the le chicken wings,

773. and Debbie Harry came back

774. and said happy birthday to me.

775. I'm like, um,

776. I don't see the problem with this birthday at all—

777. "Drag Race," Debbie, chicken wings.

778. - Robbie, thank you so much for all the classic sass.

779. Oh, and by the way, I will be sending you a bill

780. for that broken light bulb that you did.

781. Uh-huh.

782. Up next, hey, there, Thorgy girl.

783. - Hey, Ru. Yeah!

784. - Now, like Michelle and I,

785. you and Bob

786. have a very complicated relationship.

787. Tell me about it.

788. - I love to argue and fight about everything.

789. I love it. There's always a way

790. to tear things apart and make them better.

791. Bob can take it from me.

792. He'll just listen to me talk and go,

793. "I still don't like you."

794. But when people see me and Bob doing that,

795. they're like, "Oh, you guys really don't like each other."

796. I'm like, "I just love fighting with him so much,"

797. but I'm just in love with Bob very much.

798. - Now, you have dreams of starting a thorchestra?

799. Is that right? - Yeah.

800. - What is a—what's a thorchestra?

801. - Well, ever since I was playing violin

802. and then I got into, like, the art of drag,

803. I wanted to conduct, like, a 40-piece orchestra.

804. I wanted to travel the world.

805. I want, like, Rufus Wainwright

806. to wheel out on a piano and be like, "Oh,

807. my friend Rufus is here to sing a song."

808. - That's a great idea.

809. Will you play a little something for us right now?

810. - Sure.

811. Oh, my God!

812. Thank you, guys.

813. - Well, Thorgy, I cannot wait to see

814. what you're gonna do next.

815. - Whoo!

816. - Up next, the 100th queen

817. to prance into my workroom—

818. - Whoo!

819. - Now, you struggled to get out of the Britney box,

820. as it was called. - Yes.

821. - What's your relationship with Britney now?

822. - I will always do Britney.

823. I'm not leaving that behind.

824. Of course I wanted to come on the show

825. to expand what I already do and take it to the next level,

826. and I feel like not only can I do Britney now, I can do drag.

827. I'm doing drag right now.

828. - Now, Derrick,

829. throughout the season

830. you were not afraid to speak your mind loudly,

831. especially with Bob and Naomi.

832. You have any regrets about that?

833. - Everything?

834. Oh, gosh, it's hard because I watch it back,

835. I'm like, "Oh, wow, I shouldn't have said that.

836. Probably shouldn't have had that drink and untucked,"

837. and yes,

838. I have a hard time taking criticism

839. because I've never been criticized like that before.

840. Doing Britney was what I've always done,

841. and I was praised for that,

842. and now coming into this competition

843. it was almost looked down upon that that was something

844. that I was known to do.

845. And I learned so much from Naomi,

846. and she taught me how to block my brows,

847. and I think I'm doing it now.

848. - Thank you, Derrick,

849. and I will always think of you

850. as my genie in a bottle.

851. Yes, I know that's a Christina song,

852. but I've run out of Britney references!

853. Give me a break. - Yes.

854. - We love you, Derrick Barry.

855. - "RuPaul's Drag Race" celebrates drag across America.

873. - Prove to us that you're a champion.

874. - Not only have you guys

875. taught me how to be a better entertainer,

876. but you have taught me how to be a better person,

877. and $100,000 cannot buy that.

878. - Yes, Louisiana glamour.

879. When you came to "Drag Race," you had quit two jobs

880. to be on the show.

881. How many jobs do you have now?

882. - I have one job, Ru,

883. and I'm a full-time drag queen!

884. That's what's up. That's what's up.

885. - How do fans react when they meet you?

886. - Oh, my God, first time in New York, I'm in Times Square,

887. and the shortest little Hispanic woman

888. stopped me in the street,

889. and she just instantly start crying.

890. - Wow. - She explained it to me

891. that I represented all of the people

892. in the world to her

893. that are out there struggling to make ends meet

894. and who have a dream, and the dream has come true.

895. Dreams come true, y'all.

896. Dreams come true.

897. - And speaking of dreams,

898. the "Dreamgirls" lip sync that you did,

899. oh, honey, that was legendary,

900. and I'm not the only one who thought so.

901. Take a look at this.

902. - You, Miss Chi Chi DeVayne, are a true inspiration.

903. I tell you that your heartfelt rendition

904. of "And I'm Telling You" moved me,

905. and honey, when those bees start flying right

906. after you and I hit our high note, honey,

907. you gave me life,

908. and I'm gonna make you an official Dreamgirl.

909. - Do you have anything else you'd like to say?

910. - Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

911. You have changed my life forever.

912. - Thank you.

913. - You made my dreams come true.

914. - That is the sweetest thing.

923. Hi, Katya. - Hi, Ru.

924. Hey, listen, I brought you some water.

925. Are you thirsty?

926. - So Katya,

927. what have you been up to?

928. - Oh, my God, what haven't I been up to?

929. Listen, I learned horseback riding.

930. I've been doing macrame.

931. I visited, like, 6

932. out of the 12 continents in the world.

933. It's been a whirlwind. It's been a—

934. - All right, yeah, well, is there something

935. you want to tell me? I mean—
