Copy !req
115. - Welcome back to
the grand finale
Copy !req
116. of "RuPaul's Secret Celebrity
Drag Race."
Copy !req
117. We are moments away from
crowning
Copy !req
118. America's next celebrity drag
superstar.
Copy !req
119. But first, earlier this week,
Copy !req
120. Michelle and I sat down with our
top 3
Copy !req
121. for a nutritious and delicious
Tic Tac lunch.
Copy !req
122. Take a look.
Copy !req
123. You're a champion,
and you'll always be a hero
Copy !req
124. Hi.
- Hello.
Copy !req
125. - Oh, it's you.
- It's just me.
Copy !req
126. I did not think that
I would be sitting in front of
Copy !req
127. the two of you having
a Tic Tac lunch right now.
Copy !req
128. It's insane.
Copy !req
129. - What do you
attribute that to?
Copy !req
130. - Every time that I lip synced
for my life, I was like,
Copy !req
131. I don't want to go out not
trying.
Copy !req
132. - Yeah.
Copy !req
133. - What has drag allowed
you to do that maybe
Copy !req
134. you've never been able to do
before?
Copy !req
135. - Confront a lot of things
that have been repressed.
Copy !req
136. There's a lot of trauma that
I've dealt with in my career.
Copy !req
137. And there have been
very, very cruel things
Copy !req
138. that have been said
about me by the public,
Copy !req
139. basically trying to out me
Copy !req
140. before I had come to terms
with my own sexuality.
Copy !req
141. And I think that it manifested
itself in this competition.
Copy !req
142. - You rendered your judgment
of being a "sissy,"
Copy !req
143. or being thought of as someone
Copy !req
144. who's overly femme or whatever.
Copy !req
145. And that's when the switch
happens.
Copy !req
146. That surrender in life
is when the party begins.
Copy !req
147. Tell me about Thirsty. What has
emerged?
Copy !req
148. - I think that it's more about
what she's like done for me,
Copy !req
149. in terms of being able
to portray a character
Copy !req
150. and live in a character that is
Copy !req
151. so overtly sexual and
flirtatious.
Copy !req
152. Like, those are things that
Copy !req
153. I wish that I could tap into
a little bit more.
Copy !req
154. - That power is available
to you all the time.
Copy !req
155. What would it mean to you,
winning?
Copy !req
156. - It would mean everything.
Copy !req
157. I mean, it would be the
ultimate symbol of permission
Copy !req
158. to be fully myself
and be unapologetic about it.
Copy !req
159. - I think that you're onto
something here.
Copy !req
160. It's not just the drag.
Copy !req
161. It is you opening up a door
Copy !req
162. that allows you to be
whoever you want to be.
Copy !req
163. - Thank you so much, Ru.
Copy !req
164. - Good luck, sweetheart.
- Ciao.
Copy !req
165. - Ciao.
- Ciao, baby.
Copy !req
166. - Well, well, well.
Copy !req
167. My god, you look so beautiful.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
168. - You've had this
incredible life.
Copy !req
169. What do you attribute that to?
Copy !req
170. - I think my
biggest inspiration
Copy !req
171. for why I do what I do was—
Copy !req
172. I'm gonna try not to get
emotional—my grandmother.
Copy !req
173. My grandmother was an incredible
pianist
Copy !req
174. and a performer
Copy !req
175. but had stage fright.
Copy !req
176. But she was there to just push
me.
Copy !req
177. And she saw something in me.
Copy !req
178. And she's always looking down on
me,
Copy !req
179. every single day.
Copy !req
180. - Watching you
in this competition
Copy !req
181. has been such a joy because
Copy !req
182. you are a performer in arenas.
We can't forget that.
Copy !req
183. - I've always been about
bringing people joy.
Copy !req
184. Now to do it through Poppy
and to be this vixen
Copy !req
185. that's sultry, but sweet, and
naughty—
Copy !req
186. there's a freedom
that I never felt like I had.
Copy !req
187. You know, most people—
Copy !req
188. not everyone knows that my name
is Alex.
Copy !req
189. AJ is my stage name.
Copy !req
190. Alex is this goofy, nerdy kid.
Copy !req
191. And then when everything
blew up in Backstreet world,
Copy !req
192. AJ took over, that persona took
over,
Copy !req
193. and Alex got tucked way down.
Copy !req
194. I'm finally getting to a place
where the two can live as one.
Copy !req
195. I've never felt
this level of vulnerability
Copy !req
196. and acceptance.
Copy !req
197. - What would it mean to you
to win this competition?
Copy !req
198. - Just to kind of show me
and my kids
Copy !req
199. that anything is possible
Copy !req
200. if you really truly just
let yourself be yourself.
Copy !req
201. - It's been a joy watching you,
Poppy Love.
Copy !req
202. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
203. - This has been the greatest
experience in my career.
Copy !req
204. - Good luck to you, sweetheart.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
205. - Look who's here.
Copy !req
206. - Chakra 7 in the flesh.
Copy !req
207. - Yes.
Copy !req
208. - You've really shown
what a powerhouse you are.
Copy !req
209. The dancing, the
characterization,
Copy !req
210. and also bringing your
spirituality.
Copy !req
211. That is what drag is all about.
Copy !req
212. - I love Chakra 7.
Copy !req
213. I do.
Copy !req
214. - How has it changed you?
Copy !req
215. - I feel reborn.
I feel things that there was
Copy !req
216. an inkling of, like, imagining
that I could achieve on stage.
Copy !req
217. They've happened on the show
because this was a safe space.
Copy !req
218. I even understand confidence
in a different way.
Copy !req
219. It's about, like, trusting
yourself.
Copy !req
220. I have, like, this imposter
syndrome that I deal with.
Copy !req
221. And I kind of learned that like,
Copy !req
222. I have some stuff to say.
Copy !req
223. - What would it
mean to you to win?
Copy !req
224. - It would be incredible
for my charity.
Copy !req
225. There's a little validation
there, too,
Copy !req
226. the feeling of, like,
Copy !req
227. I really did leave blood on
the floor every single time.
Copy !req
228. - It's been wonderful
to watch you.
Copy !req
229. - It's been an honor
to perform for you.
Copy !req
230. Thank you. May I have a Tic Tac?
Copy !req
231. - Yes.
- Sure.
Copy !req
232. - Sure, but just the one.
Copy !req
233. You've got costumes to fit into.
Copy !req
234. - So I've learned.
Copy !req
235. Week after week, our top three
have risen to the challenge.
Copy !req
236. And it is still anybody's game
to win.
Copy !req
237. Up first, a queen who has
her third eye on the prize.
Copy !req
238. Chakra 7.
Copy !req
239. Take a look.
Copy !req
240. Can you feel the love
Copy !req
241. - Look at you, all grown up.
Copy !req
242. Chakra 7, here, top three!
How do you feel?
Copy !req
243. - I feel like
I've grown so much.
Copy !req
244. Every week has tapped into
something that
Copy !req
245. I've had to overcome.
Copy !req
246. - Well, I hope you
have a little bit of gas
Copy !req
247. left in the tank
because we're not done yet.
Copy !req
248. - Oh, yes.
- We've gotta get you a crown.
Copy !req
249. - Oh!
Copy !req
250. This week's theme is Everybody
Say Love.
Copy !req
251. But it's about self-love.
Copy !req
252. I kind of wanted it to be like,
Copy !req
253. you know, Chakra's gone on this
journey,
Copy !req
254. all the different chakras.
Copy !req
255. Now they're, like, all aligned.
Copy !req
256. I want to bring it.
I want to bring it hard.
Copy !req
257. Like, I want to bleed on the
stage.
Copy !req
258. - Here we go, folks,
ten seconds. Nine, eight...
Copy !req
259. - This is like the culmination
of all of this work.
Copy !req
260. And I want to finish really
strong.
Copy !req
261. - The acting is incredible.
Copy !req
262. You can tell this means
something to you.
Copy !req
263. - That was literally
a masterclass
Copy !req
264. on how to perform drag.
- Oh!
Copy !req
265. It makes me emotional
because I'm grateful.
Copy !req
266. Everything I've learned
in this competition's
Copy !req
267. because of people who were
generous enough
Copy !req
268. to explain things to me.
Copy !req
269. - Yes.
- I want to do them justice.
Copy !req
270. This is the finale, those last
moments
Copy !req
271. that I can show the judges
Copy !req
272. why they let me stay here this
long
Copy !req
273. and why my charity, Hansavedas,
Copy !req
274. deserves this incredible amount
of money
Copy !req
275. that I could possibly win for
them.
Copy !req
276. I really want to put it all on
the floor.
Copy !req
277. I did that.
Copy !req
278. - A prisoner of your
love
Copy !req
279. Entangled in your web
Copy !req
280. Hot whispers in the night
Copy !req
281. I'm captured by your spell
Copy !req
282. Captured
Copy !req
283. Oh, yes I'm touched by
this show of emotion
Copy !req
284. Should I be fractured by
your lack of devotion?
Copy !req
285. Should I?
Copy !req
286. Oh, you better be good to me
Copy !req
287. - Yes! Yes!
Copy !req
288. - That's how it's
gotta be, yeah
Copy !req
289. Good to me
Copy !req
290. And you know, I don't understand
Copy !req
291. What's your plan that
you can't be good to me?
Copy !req
292. And if it's not real, I do not
wish to see
Copy !req
293. Why don't you be good to me?
Copy !req
294. Why can't you be good to me?
Copy !req
295. Why can't you be
Copy !req
296. Good to me?
Copy !req
297. Why can't you be good to me?
Copy !req
298. Be good to me
Copy !req
299. - Oh, my God.
Copy !req
300. - We don't need another hero.
We've got Chakra 7.
Copy !req
301. - I am so proud of this journey
Copy !req
302. that you've been on this season.
Copy !req
303. And I'm so happy that you are
here
Copy !req
304. in the top three, sweetheart.
Copy !req
305. - You gave us phenomenal
lip syncing.
Copy !req
306. You gave us the hips.
Copy !req
307. You gave us the—
Copy !req
308. I don't know, the bosom thing.
Copy !req
309. And then at the end, I would
call that like a drag-gasm.
Copy !req
310. - I had chills
Copy !req
311. all the way down to
my "Nutbush City Limits."
Copy !req
312. You took Tina and brought
her here to the stage!
Copy !req
313. That's what you did.
Copy !req
314. But you did it in a Chakra 7
kind of way.
Copy !req
315. Chakra, you are a gem.
Copy !req
316. - Oh, my goodness, gorgeous.
Copy !req
317. So how'd you feel tonight,
Chakra?
Copy !req
318. - I really feel like
something changed in me.
Copy !req
319. You know, that's what that song
is about.
Copy !req
320. That statement of like, yeah,
I'm serving,
Copy !req
321. so you better be good to me.
Copy !req
322. Now, Chakra, you've got a lot
of fans rooting for you.
Copy !req
323. Now, here's an extra special
message from one of them.
Copy !req
324. - Hey, Tatyana, it's Karyn.
Copy !req
325. And it seems like I am
forever inspired by you,
Copy !req
326. even though you're my little
sister—
Copy !req
327. forever my little sister
and I love you so much—
Copy !req
328. you always inspire me.
Copy !req
329. You're such a remarkable woman.
Copy !req
330. And here you are again.
I am so proud of you.
Copy !req
331. Congratulations on making it
this far.
Copy !req
332. I know you're gonna go all the
way.
Copy !req
333. I love you.
Copy !req
334. And I wish you the best of luck.
Copy !req
335. - Y'all are bad.
Copy !req
336. - Now, I know that you have
Chakra family members
Copy !req
337. here to support you tonight.
Copy !req
338. Who's here?
Copy !req
339. - My mom and my husband
is here.
Copy !req
340. - Now, Mama Chakra,
did you know that
Copy !req
341. you gave birth to a drag queen?
Copy !req
342. - Well, you know,
as a little girl,
Copy !req
343. she loved to perform.
Copy !req
344. - What's love got to do
with it? Everything.
Copy !req
345. Give it up for Chakra 7.
Copy !req
346. May the best drag
queen,
best drag queen win
Copy !req
347. We are about to crown
ourselves a winner, baby.
Copy !req
348. But first, tonight,
Copy !req
349. a queen who is ready to let us
have it.
Copy !req
350. Everybody say Poppy Love.
Copy !req
351. Poppy Love! Take a
look.
Copy !req
352. - Poppy.
Copy !req
353. - I want you to slow down.
- Okay.
Copy !req
354. - Because this is
the last time you're gonna
Copy !req
355. walk into this room like this.
- I know.
Copy !req
356. - This entire season
you've been on fire.
Copy !req
357. We started with two wins.
Copy !req
358. And last week, you showed us
that
Copy !req
359. you belong in the competition.
Copy !req
360. - All I kept thinking
to myself was,
Copy !req
361. "Be ridiculous, and just be
big."
Copy !req
362. - I want you to bring
everything that you've done
Copy !req
363. this entire season.
Copy !req
364. Bring that and freakin' win.
- Yep.
Copy !req
365. - Top three.
- Let's go.
Copy !req
366. This week, love is our mantra.
Copy !req
367. - The first time you heard
this song, how did you feel?
Copy !req
368. Channel that into this.
- Okay.
Copy !req
369. Love, to me, is everything.
Copy !req
370. And I can honestly say that
I truly love myself today
Copy !req
371. the most I ever have.
Copy !req
372. Over the last seven weeks,
Copy !req
373. I've done a little bit of
comedic,
Copy !req
374. a little bit of sass,
a little bit of sexy.
Copy !req
375. So being that this is
the last performance,
Copy !req

Copy !req

point

Copy !req
424. drag personality.

Copy !req
426. - I just love

434. You served us a bubble bath,
dear.
Copy !req
435. You are camp.
Copy !req
436. - That means a lot.
Copy !req
437. - We have an extra
special message
Copy !req
438. from some of your biggest fans.
Take a look.
Copy !req
439. - Yo, what's up, AJ?
Copy !req
440. It's your little brother, Nick,
here.
Copy !req
441. I just wanted to say
congratulations
Copy !req
442. for getting this far in the

Copy !req
452. my best friend, Mark,
Copy !req
453. and my dear friend, Frankie
Grande.
Copy !req

I love you, Poppy.
Copy !req
455. - Mrs. Poppy Love,
what's it like
Copy !req
456. watching your husband tear it up
in drag?
Copy !req
457. - I love it.
Copy !req
458. Our girls love it.
Copy !req
459. I'm excited that he gets to
Copy !req
460. set an example for our daughters
Copy !req
461. that they can just be free to be
whoever
Copy !req
462. and just to express themselves
however they feel.
Copy !req
463. - Yes, yes.
Copy !req
464. - Watching you evolve
personally in this competition
Copy !req
465. has been just lovely.
Copy !req
466. - For me it's always
been a battle
Copy !req
467. of the persona that is AJ,
that is a Backstreet Boy.
Copy !req
468. And then there's this goofy,
nerdy kid, Alex,
Copy !req
469. who's just a total dweeb.
Copy !req
470. And I, you know, repressed him
for so long
Copy !req
471. and never let him be free.
Copy !req
472. And Poppy Love has allowed me
to let him be free.
Copy !req
473. So thank you.
Copy !req
474. - Give it up for Poppy Love.
Copy !req
475. - Thank you.
Copy !req
476. - And now,
in her final performance,
Copy !req
477. it's time for a big gulp
of Thirsty Von Trap.
Copy !req
478. Take a look.
Copy !req
479. - Savior
Copy !req
480. - Thirsty Von
Trizzy-Teezy-T, girl,
Copy !req
481. in the mothertucking top three.
Copy !req
482. - I've had quite a journey and
becoming Thirsty is definitely
Copy !req
483. an exercise in self-confidence.
Copy !req
484. My performance last week was
a culmination of everything
Copy !req
485. that I've gone through
in this competition.
Copy !req
486. - There was
a complete and utter lack
Copy !req
487. of fear and self-consciousness.
Copy !req
488. - To have that breakthrough,
you're like living proof
Copy !req
489. of the transformative power of
drag.
Copy !req
490. - I felt this electric,
like, adrenaline pumped feeling
Copy !req
491. last week, and I want to feel
that again.
Copy !req
492. - Put your Thirsty stank on it
Copy !req
493. and win this mothertucking show.
Copy !req
494. - Everybody Say Love
is not only loving each other,
Copy !req
495. but loving oneself.
Copy !req
496. It's a note that I'm really
excited to end on.
Copy !req
497. The song that I chose this week,
Copy !req
498. it's about self-empowerment.
Copy !req
499. It's kind of this caterpillar
morphing
Copy !req
500. into a butterfly story.
Copy !req
501. And I want it to be camp.
Copy !req
502. I wanted to still incorporate
comedy and sexiness,
Copy !req
503. but be, like, super powerful.
Copy !req
504. And I think that that is
symbolic
Copy !req
505. of my journey in this
competition.
Copy !req
506. - This last rehearsal
was great.
Copy !req
507. - Well, we want to keep
that momentum going, girl.
Copy !req
508. There's $100.000 on the line
for Planned Parenthood,
Copy !req
509. a charity that I believe so much
in.
Copy !req
510. This is it. This is my last
chance
Copy !req
511. to impress all of the judges
Copy !req
512. and to really leave it all on
the stage.
Copy !req
513. I'm gonna go out there
and stand in that power.
Copy !req
514. I want to win.
Copy !req
515. - Uh-huh, this my shh
Copy !req
516. All the girls stomp your feet
like this
Copy !req
517. Few times I've been around that
track
Copy !req
518. So it's not just gonna happen

Copy !req
527. So I'm ready to attack,
gonna lead the pack
Copy !req
528. Gonna get a touchdown, gonna
take you out
Copy !req
529. That's right, put your pom poms

Copy !req
530. Getting everybody fired up
Copy !req

Copy !req
559. - It was a slow journey
for you.
Copy !req
560. But you got better every week.
We love that.
Copy !req
561. And then talk about the right
time
Copy !req
562. to be peaking, at the finale.
Copy !req
563. - We've been pushing you
all season long
Copy !req
564. to just go a little further,
Copy !req
565. to realize your full fierceness.
Copy !req
566. Honey, you scored yourself
a touchdown is what you did.
Copy !req
567. - This week you did
the nudge, nudge, wink, wink
Copy !req
568. that turns a drag character
into this other level of drag.
Copy !req
569. And it was so much fun to watch.
Copy !req
570. - Thank you, Ru.
