01:50And the title of Dragula – the world's next drag super.
01:58so this journey has been surreal i have had this goal for such a long time that even just being on
02:11the show never mind going this far is it's even better than i expected i am very fortunate to have
02:19fantastic support back home the drag king community has really lifted me up as their brother
02:25in support of what i do and has really just pushed me to go further and further and also my incredible
02:33wife i would not be this brave without her but i am here a hundred percent to prove to myself
02:41what i'm capable of when challenged for me part of being outgoing and friendly is a defense mechanism
02:48because i'm very scared of people in general i'm scared of how people can affect me i'm scared of
02:54how i may unintentionally affect other people so me cloistering myself and focusing on the job at
03:00hand is kind of my fun escape time i'm a very play hard work hard person and right now there's a job
03:07to do so absolutely i've been focused on the work but that's because i am gearing up to enjoying the
03:15fruits of my labor i've definitely had the consideration of quitting many many times i have a lot of my own
03:24personal mental health struggles there was a period for almost a year where i couldn't leave my house
03:29because i was too scared that people were looking at me or going to hurt me and there's a lot of paranoia
03:35there's a lot of self-critique and there's a lot of pressure i put on myself all the time so reminding
03:42myself to enjoy myself is unfortunately a bit of a correct read i am interestingly very calm
03:50at this point i don't know if you can tell i almost can't stop smiling because i can see it i can see
03:56the crown i can see the title it's right there and all i have to do is take it
04:03oh my god
04:09oh my god
04:31we made it i cannot believe that i have made it to the finale of fucking dragula i have worked my
04:44ass off each and every week i am so fucking excited i uh made it here by the skin of my teeth but that's
04:53fine i'm ready to showcase what i got and i got some tricks up my sleeve i mean i'll be honest blackberry
04:59i did underestimate you in the very beginning and i was wrong i know it's really surreal to be in
05:06this moment with you guys oh my god there's so many emotions but we made it you better be careful
05:13because if you keep that up you might be the cry baby of the season i don't mind i don't mind being
05:18vulnerable and cry i don't think it's any surprise to anyone that i give a really big fuck about this
05:24so yeah i'm gonna i'm probably gonna cry today i'm probably gonna cry today what about you neo how
05:30are you feeling i'm feeling very emotional i feel so blessed and also since the beginning i know that
05:35i'm going to make it to the final stage i'm going to prove that i'm the best among the ultimate best
05:41she's dying for some blood to slay y'all i have to say i noticed for the last supper
05:47got a little quiet i was worried that maybe you had some stuff going on up here
05:53how are you feeling going into the fucking finale i was uh i was thrown off a little bit when you
06:00said my name that i mostly act like you will stab you in the back
06:04or god i couldn't think would stab you in the back i didn't kneel
06:07oh no there's the passion i was gonna say throw up but now it might be or it's just your
06:16opinion it's it's cool but i learned my lesson okay oh shit i was not gonna lie i was a little
06:23shocked i was a little gagged and um that threw me off a little or gothic said i could potentially
06:30stab him in the back i've showed nothing but love for him and i'm very confused and surprised
06:36and not gonna lie a little bit hurt it's been a week have you guys talked since the reunion
06:41it's a lover's quarrel i didn't mean to make you feel bad about it i know that you're not gonna put
06:50a knife in my back but i just thought it was funny because we are supporting each other all the time so
06:55my trust it's always on your side so the only person that can backstab me it's the one that i
07:03have the most confidence and the most like respect my care for you is generally out of my crazy
07:10admiration out of your artistry and your beautiful beautiful physique and uh i would never backstab you
07:17in any way and even hurt you that because that would just hurt me more i really don't know what's
07:22going to happen with those two they are absolutely like this but the competition is so intense
07:29they were smart this would be the time to get focused i fully think that neo and oryx should
07:34just put a little pin in their relationship and focus on this finale where do y'all lie with each
07:40other i think we both agree we should focus on what's really important just at the moment which is
07:46winning this competition we are humans we have a lot of emotions to sort out but we have a lifetime
07:51to sort that out and i believe universe will show us the right way and i can't wait to get to know
07:57you more outside this competition for sure that's that's something that i really want in this moment
08:02we have to focus on ourselves because it's gonna be a lot of work and there's no time for romance
08:10now it's just the final showdown we all have so much love and care for each other i think the best way
08:16to show that we care and we respect each other as artists is to give our 200 percent and not
08:22holding back at all and you have no regrets no oh my god it's time let's all go out together
08:32this journey has been pretty rocky but i think it's been amazing i've had a chance to really push my
08:49artistry and i'm really proud that i've gotten out of my box that i've been in for so many years and
08:57got to explore different sides of myself that i didn't even know i had before this competition
09:01i was working five days a week in drag hosting shows performing outside on patios and grocery
09:08stores wherever there was a check i was performing i think my biggest inspiration with my drag and like
09:13my drive is my mother and my little brother right before covid my house got destroyed during hurricane
09:19harvey so i moved back in with my mom because she needed help with bills and stuff like that and during
09:25covid we were just kind of destroyed like she couldn't work if it wasn't for drag we weren't
09:32able to pay our bills like i fully worked five six days a week all of that paid for everything that we
09:40had and i ended up getting this commercial just out of nowhere and that was like the beacon for my
09:47family and that sustained us for like a while so my drag has literally saved my family's life we've been
09:53like almost at the point of like being homeless they're my biggest cheerleaders and they keep me
09:58wanting to be better i am the first bearded drag queen to make it to the finale i'm the first big
10:04girl to make it to the finale everything that i do with my drag i'm only doing it to inspire someone
10:09because i never had anyone to inspire me i think that i should take this crown because i've worked my ass off
10:15and i've showed so many different sides of what my creative mind has i feel like i've given you funny
10:23i've given you beauty i've given you my version of scary there's no one like me there's only one blackberry

13:07win this week is going to be super crazy but i have a crown to win so this is it it doesn't get any
13:13more intense than this we've got three looks four competitors one crown
13:29i was born in a very very small town in northern china i come from a very very traditional chinese
13:34family and looking feminine or behaving feminine as a boy as a son is a big no-no so i always have
13:43this feeling that i'm doing something wrong at this point the new hulu that they know no longer exists
13:50anymore for the past three years i changed so much physically and mentally and it hurts me so much
13:58that they can't celebrate me as i am right now and they are my family i feel extremely alone and i feel
14:06like that is like my biggest dream to be able to show my mom my dad my work and they they will be saying
14:14i'm proud of what you have become you are a good son you are you are not disappointing us
14:22but i just don't want to get my hopes up and have my heart broken over and over again
14:32i always put my feelings second when it comes to my family's feelings and i feel like that's so unfair
14:38to me why am i suffering so much i hope that will happen one day and that would be
14:46the most beautiful thing that is in my life when i was judged by the most loved ones for being just who
14:59i am i put all my feelings inside and i have no way of expressing it so i turned them all into my work
15:08i used all my shame all my guilt all my pain and nightmares i built all those darkness into
15:15something so hauntingly beautiful it built me into this beautiful creature that you're looking
15:20right now because if there's no darkness there's no light at this point of my life i'm so certain of
15:26who i am and i want to do everything that i envision myself for i believe that universe had a plan for me
15:33i absolutely deserve to win and i can see nobody else but me to win
15:52so today's the day and there's so much to do it's going to be absolutely batshit insane we not only have
15:58to do three looks we also have to do a lip sync which is an entire performance in its own this is
16:04the end this is our final look this is the beginning of course today is the day of our final flow show
16:13i just can't wait to perform i just can't wait to go wild it's literally a race against the clock
16:21we better start now my filth inspiration is coming from my good old texas roots a good old nasty possum
16:30digging through the trash and eating a whole bunch of the materials i'm using for my costume is liquid
16:36latex on my head i have a full fursuit and of course you know your girl blackberry has to give you
16:42body so my possum's gonna have some big old titties and a big old ass my gag is a little bit of surprise but
16:48i can't wait to give them full-on filth my inspiration for filth is the garbage of chinese
16:56takeout leftovers i'm going to use raw meat a raw pig feed and ramen filled with a giant chinese takeout
17:04box the dress i'm wearing is inspired by a traditional chinese garment called qipao and i dripped
17:11around qipao with a lot of ramen and make it look grimy and dirty with acrylic paint
17:18living in america for three years now being asian and trans i feel often sexualized and fetishized
17:25a lot and i want to use this challenge to really turn something so ugly into something very beautiful
17:33so for my filth floor show i am being a gunk shower monster a lot of this costume is the headpiece
17:41it's probably the most amount of skin i've shown all season by far i'm wearing a very small wet leather
17:49piece that i've been distressing with a cheese grater my shoes are just latex and paint and dirt
17:54smeared i'm covered and covered in hair that's glued to my body i feel disgusting for phil i want to make
18:04it super fun so i was inspired by a fucking gross slug that i saw one time in a bathroom
18:13i just want to make it super weird and be absolutely filthy i don't want to rely on a lot of gags i just
18:21want to convey a really fucking filthy creature that you will be so fucking grossed out by
18:30i actually was born in colombia the best day in my childhood was when my parents actually
18:42separated because my father's relationship always made me feel like i was in a danger zone
18:49i have no idea if my dad knows what i do we don't speak it was so hard for me to trust in him i realized
18:57that i don't need like that fatherly figure because he was never one my mom it was the closest person
19:04that i had around during my teenage years she was really homophobic at first for her was really
19:12difficult because she thought that i was going to be put through a lot of difficult situations and i think
19:17she was trying to protect me and at first it was really hard for me to come out and express my
19:25queerness full force but i think you have a responsibility as well with your parents to
19:33educate them and to show them all the features of your personality and how the world works if i get to
19:42win i will use all the things that will come my way to help my mom she wants to explore the world so
19:49much she didn't have the opportunity before but i just can't wait to show my mom all the wild things
19:56in the world guided by me that will be a fucking treat for me i know that i was born with a talent
20:03with something really magical and it's my duty to achieve every wild dream that i have and i know that
20:09i'm not dreaming too big for my own self i really think that if i win i can help to change the
20:16perspective that people have on drag i never felt like that i have to limitate myself to some features
20:24that i have to wear hips or being feminine drag allowed me like be whatever i wanted i don't have to
20:33fit in just one mode i just have to let my imagination go fucking wild you can be really original and you
20:40can do something that no one has ever done before and you can create your own brand you can make an
20:46impact i definitely gonna win the show everybody deserves it but we're gonna see who actually go
20:53so
21:07Welcome to the main stage, uglies, and to the first floor show of the Boulay Brothers
21:27Dragula grand finale.
21:30Drag was born in the underbelly of the queer community, and it wasn't always clean and
21:35polished.
21:35From the shocking antics of Divine to the gritty art of the cockettes, filth has always been
21:41a tool to shock audiences and shake apart our inhibitions.
21:45For our first floor show of the night, we've challenged our finalists to conceptualize
21:49and create new looks that embody their interpretation of the tenet of filth.
21:55So without further ado, let's dim the light, start the music, and let the floor show begin.
27:52My design is an alien demon, year 3000, that got trapped in a mental hospital restraint jacket.
28:00The Chinese characters on my jacket has different meanings.
28:02Most of them are the negative, horrible things I've been called growing up and I mixed it with a lot of positive things because my dark experiences are what makes me so strong, what makes me into this beautiful human being that I am today.
28:17For me, it's a human being that I am so happy.
28:20For me, for me, I'm sorry.
28:22For me, I'm sorry.
28:25For me, I'm sorry.
28:26For me, I'm sorry.
28:27So, my character is a human being that I am so happy.
28:35Her chains are so happy.
28:42But at the same time, if you don't get it, that's OK, too.
28:47For my horror look, I'm conveying all the torture
28:51and the exhaustion that I'm feeling right now,
28:55inspiration for the movie Martyrs,
28:58and also my favorite movie, The Two of the Iron Man.
29:02I really appreciate the special effects that are really rough.
29:08They're not perfect at all, but they're so, so grand and just daring.
29:17So I'm a huge fan of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Hellraiser,
29:21and I wanted to put those two things together with Texas pageant drag.
29:25So I'm going to be connected to a cage system
29:28and giving them something they've never seen before.
29:31The materials I'm using is PVC pipes, leather, and I have sequin.
29:36Instead of blood, I'm going to be using rhinestones.
29:39I'm sitting here putting each and every stone,
29:42and I'm hoping that it just pays off.
29:48Welcome back, uglies.
29:50We do hope you're hungry for a little blood,
29:53because it's almost dinner time.
29:55And in this house, horror is always the main course.
30:01From Psycho to The Bride of Frankenstein to Hellraiser
30:04and so many more, the horror genre has historically been chock full of queer subtext.
30:09These stories not so subtly reference the parallels between queerness and being a monster.
30:14That's why many queer artists see themselves in the monsters of the silver screen,
30:18and why many continue to draw inspiration from horror to this day.
30:23In the case of Dragula, we have personally reclaimed the term monster and repurposed it as
30:28a crown and a badge of honor, as a way to proudly celebrate that which makes us different.
30:34For our finalists' next-floor show, we've tasked them with conceptualizing and creating terrifying new looks,
30:40inspired by their own interpretation of the word horror, and what the genre means to them.
30:46So without further ado, let's dim the lights...
30:50...and let the next-floor show begin!
31:20...
31:33...
31:40...
31:41...
36:43Wait a minute, Ork.
36:44Are these the same?
36:46These were your arms?
36:47These were my legs.
36:49These were your legs today?
36:50Yes.
36:51Are these, did you use these?
36:53Yes.
36:53In a different challenge?
36:54I mean, I used similar ones for my woods, my terror in the woods.
37:00Blackberry is so confused.
37:02She doesn't know what she's talking about.
37:04Even if my legs are the same ones that I use for my arms in the terror in the woods, that only shows my versatility.
37:12You guys, it doesn't matter how the last two floor shows went because we have one more and we have to get back to work.
37:19Yes.
37:20My inspiration for glamour comes from my love of classic horror movies.
37:28I want to give full-on vintage woman, but in a Texas way.
37:32The way I'm going to switch this character up is giving a modern take on a classic design and, of course, giving full-on Blackberry body.
37:41So we are getting ready for this insanely important final floor show and call me a glutton for punishment, but I am going to pull off one last gag and hopefully it's going to go flawlessly.
37:56My inspiration for glamour is a prince that is battling with his royal duties.
38:02This is going to be difficult because I am portraying a character that looks opulent and pretty on the outside, but feels oddly on the inside.
38:14My inspiration for the glamour look is Ursula from Little Mermaid.
38:17Little Mermaid is really a story that is very close to my heart.
38:21The Little Mermaid has to silence her voice, has to completely transform her body just to fit in another world.
38:29And for me, that is really a metaphor for me transitioning and coming to America.
38:35And it's very emotional, and I want to turn this villain into the most glamorous she's ever been.
38:48Ah, here we are again. Back for more, are you?
38:51Well, I do hope you're all keeping score so far because this race is looking extremely close,
38:56and I can't wait to see what these monsters pull out next.
39:02Speaking of, our next and final floor show of the night celebrates the tenet of glamour.
39:08Glamour is not just about rhinestones and jewels.
39:11It's all about the magical ability some drag artists have to turn something that costs $5 into $500.
39:18It's poise, it's grace, it's stage presence, and it's the power to mesmerize an audience of thousands live on stage.
39:30Tonight, we will put our finalists' ability to harness the power of glamour to the test,
39:35as we have asked them to conceptualize and create looks that personify their interpretation of glamour.
39:41We've also asked them to learn and choreograph a lip-sync performance to a song that we chose that has a special meaning for us this season.
39:51So without further ado, let's dim the lights, start the music, and let the floor show begin.
40:29Next time, let's just sort of show the BET 하게 focus in the color of the aылaz
40:33We'll do the same by looking at actually Details.
40:34What are the options for you to enjoy to aswell, as well as the note of aç 그럼?
40:37Your Mind will be right back.
40:39Have fun.
40:41With Kiteko.

45:03Well I think we said we'd never do a top four again and here we are
45:07And here we are, we've done it again
45:09That is so stupid, I knew it, I knew the minute we said it that this was going to happen this year
45:13We are truly cursed
45:15They were so good, I mean even trying to get it down to four was difficult
45:20We have our work cut out for us because I could see and make a case for any one of these finalists
45:26To take the title of the world's next drag super monster
45:29Well let's dig into it
45:30Let's talk about the filth floor show
45:32Okay
45:33What did you think of Neo Hulu's filth?
45:35I thought it was thought provoking and kind of punk and dirty and gross
45:40I thought she looked gorgeous in a way that you can look gorgeous with a pig nose on
45:44I do have to applaud her for the pig foot phallus with the painted hooves
45:49That's something I've never seen before
45:50I'm not sure if I want to see it again
45:52But I'm glad I saw it tonight
45:53I've never seen a pig foot strap on before with glitter on the end of it
45:57But you know, you live and learn, right?
45:59You live and learn
46:00Let's move on to Orgotic's filth
46:03I think Orgotic looked disgusting
46:04He slid around on the stage like a worm
46:07I thought it was an original idea and it was very filthy
46:10But he failed at the vomit gag
46:11I can't watch someone try to throw up for like 10 minutes
46:14You either throw up or you don't, right?
46:16Yeah
46:16This is a stage show, darling
46:17We can't sit here and wait for 10 minutes for you to gag yourself
46:20I liked what Orgotic did
46:23He leaned really far into body horror
46:26Like internal organs, parasites
46:29And I do kind of love it
46:30So what did you think of Blackberry's filth show?
46:31I was very surprised in the best way possible
46:35I think Blackberry's filth floor show was fun
46:37She showed versatility
46:39I thought filth was great for Blackberry
46:41I do too
46:42And I was happy to see Blackberry serve some filth
46:44Because I haven't seen her do a lot of that this season
46:46And it was fun to just watch her get dirty and have fun with it
46:49I don't like that her prosthetic fell off
46:51Right
46:51You want to reward her for eating a whole raw fish
46:54But on the other hand, I'm like, you know
46:56You can't knock your prosthetic off in the process
46:58Because then you just look like a person eating a fish
47:00Which is kind of filthy anyways, but still
47:02Let's talk about Throb's filth performance
47:05I thought Throb's filth look was very inspired
47:08It was original
47:10It was filthy, it was fabulous, it was wet, it was sexual
47:13Like, it was everything
47:14I'm not really sure when you're trying to gross people out
47:18Why you would kind of turn it into a sexy car wash moment
47:22That was a little strange
47:24Because I'm like, you're supposed to be grossing us out
47:26Not turning us on, but whatever
47:28I'm nitpicking
47:28Let's talk about the horror floor show
47:31Okay
47:31Let's start with Throb this time
47:33Throb showed us once again that he is an incredible performer
47:38I think Throb's horror floor show could have been scarier
47:41The face was so gorgeous and the costume was kind of clean
47:44It was almost like right out of the box
47:46The blood looked almost acrylic-like or magenta
47:49It just didn't bring me to like a depraved place
47:52And I think that could have made it darker and stronger
47:54I agree
47:54So let's talk about Blackberry's horror look
47:57The whole cage as a costume was fantastic
48:00I did not care for the rhinestones
48:04You didn't?
48:06I didn't care for the rhinestones
48:07I mean, I'm torn on it
48:09This was your one chance to scare me
48:12And you did, but you had to drop a rhinestone on there
48:16You had to go and drop a rhinestone on there
48:18You didn't have to do that
48:19I could agree with you if it wasn't scary enough
48:21But this was grisly
48:23It evoked the Cenobites
48:25It was giving me Clyde Barker and I loved it
48:27Well, I think Blackberry did an incredible job with her horror look
48:31I liked it a lot
48:32Let's move on to Neo's horror look
48:34Neo Hulu X might have the deadliest shoe collection on earth
48:38I agree with that
48:39I feel like her hair kept getting caught in her heels
48:43Which was driving me insane
48:45I also have to say that when I saw that wig
48:49That was the ultimate horror
48:50Because that was one of the cheapest wigs I have ever seen in my entire life
48:53Oh my god
48:54Thank you for saying it
48:55Because my number one comment was like
48:58This wig needs help
49:00This wig needs to be birthed into a new wig
49:04Neo Hulu's horror look was very visionary
49:07She has very interesting material
49:09She has a great sense of style
49:11She knows how to put a look together
49:12Let's talk about Orgodic's horror
49:15Horror was Orgodic's strong point tonight in my opinion
49:19This was body horror on level 10
49:22This was something out of someone's worst nightmare
49:25And we got to experience it live on stage
49:27I thought it was incredible
49:28Let's move on to glamour
49:30I thought Blackberry's glamour look was stunning
49:33I think the performance really showed off Blackberry's professionalism
49:38And their ability to command the stage
49:40I kind of believe Blackberry can do anything
49:42Do I think it was the most original concept?
49:45No, it wasn't
49:46You know, Bride of Frankenstein, come on
49:48We've been there, everyone's been there
49:50But Blackberry did an excellent job at the lip sync
49:54This is the kind of drag queen that knows how to perform
49:59Let's move on to Orgodic
50:01I thought it was interesting
50:02It was shiny and sharp and dangerous
50:05Much like Orgodic is
50:07I felt moved by Orgodic's lip sync
50:09He delivered it with emotion, which I really appreciate
50:12It almost felt like we saw Orgodic doing something that he rarely does
50:17And I thought it was a nuanced performance and he did it well
50:20We also saw Orgodic in a wig
50:22Which I think may be the first wig we've seen all season
50:25It was shocking
50:25And everybody knows a good wig can make me
50:27Very, very glamorous
50:30Let's talk about Throb Zombie's glamour look
50:34Wow
50:35Yes
50:35Throb looked gorgeous
50:37But then had layers upon layers of reveals
50:42And they all worked
50:43And tricks and gags and all sorts of things
50:46Which you know, I love a gag, I love a trick, and I love a prop
50:49Especially when they work
50:51Throb knows how to command the stage
50:52You can tell they are at their best and at their strongest in the spotlight
50:57And I think that's exactly where Throb belongs
50:59What did you think of Neo Hulu's glamour?
51:01I think Neo Hulu's glamour was her strongest tenant tonight
51:04And that's not surprising
51:05It was super fashion, it was avant-garde
51:08The makeup was flawless
51:10She was incredible
51:12I was excited to see Neo Hulu's lip sync tonight
51:15Because I feel like we're watching a performer blossom
51:18And to see her grow so quickly has been very inspiring
51:22I agree
51:23So now we get to the fun part
51:25It's time to talk about how we think of these competitors as a whole
51:31In terms of their entire performance on this season
51:34Combined with their finale
51:36And do we think they are the right choice to be our next drag super monster?
51:41I want to talk about Throb
51:42Throb Zombie is a threat
51:44We go back to the meticulous nature of almost every look we've seen on the stage
51:49From head to toe
51:51It's completely thought about
51:52I think Throb is an amazing drag artist
51:55And has successfully shown us that over and over throughout the entire season
51:59Throb Zombie kicked ass in this competition
52:02He really did
52:03Throb was an incredible competitor
52:06He delivers a flawless performance
52:08Aside from a couple of gags that don't work
52:11But for real
52:12Every time delivers an incredible performance
52:14Let's move on to Orgotic
52:16I love Orgotic's art
52:19I love Orgotic's point of view
52:21I really like that he builds all of his stuff out of nothing
52:24I mean he's basically told us he has no money
52:27And he's able to go out on the street
52:29And collect up materials
52:30And build these fantastic costumes
52:32I do think that Orgotic needs to develop more
52:36As a performer and as a stage star
52:39If they're going to win Dragula
52:41I think what Orgotic does is super impressive
52:44I think Orgotic's art is visionary
52:46I think Orgotic opens up portals
52:49And invites viewers into a strange twisted fleshwork world
52:53Where everything is just half destroyed and mutilated
52:56And I can't wait to see so much more from Orgotic
52:59So let's talk about Neo Hulu
53:01Neo Hulu inspires me
53:04Neo Hulu is very young
53:06She has a long path ahead of her
53:08And she has a lot to learn
53:10She has so much intuition when it comes to fashion
53:14And the ideas are always interesting and they're different
53:18And I mean isn't that what we're looking for
53:19I think Neo Hulu has a lot of like natural ability
53:23When it comes to the sense of putting a look together
53:25When it comes to taking up space on the stage
53:28She delivers with poise
53:30I think her sense of style is so cunt
53:32And I say that in the best way possible
53:35It is just edgy and femme and kind of hard
53:38And I think it excites people
53:41I don't care who you are
53:42If you see a look that Neo put together
53:44It is exciting
53:45It's thought provoking
53:46And it's probably something you've never really seen before
53:50Quite honestly, I don't think there's one look
53:53That she came out on this stage with all season
53:55That I didn't love
53:56I think she killed it
53:57I think they would be an excellent winner
53:59I do think Neo Hulu is going to have to tussle
54:03With her inner demons at some point
54:04Because I think the pain that she feels
54:07And carries around
54:08Is going to cause her shame and guilt
54:12And get in the way of her success
54:14And I think she's going to have to address that head on at some point
54:18It will hold her back
54:19I agree with you
54:20And my hope is that finding chosen family
54:23Like us and the rest of the Dragula cast
54:25Will give them some strength
54:26Whether she wins this competition or not
54:29I hope that she comes off of this platform so successful
54:33That her family can't help but see the light that is surrounding her
54:38And the fandom and the people that are embracing her
54:40And maybe that will tell them
54:42We should re-examine our beliefs
54:45And whether or not we should accept her
54:47I think it might impact her family in a positive way
54:51Let's hope so
54:52And if not, she can always live in our back house
54:54Let's talk about Blackberry
54:57Blackberry has proven to us
54:59That she is a drag queen
55:02Blackberry is the drag queen
55:05She has said before that she's like
55:07I'm the black Barbie
55:08Whatever assignment you give me
55:10I will do it to 10
55:11Am I an astronaut?
55:12Am I a librarian?
55:13But here in Dragula world
55:14She's like
55:14Am I a demon?
55:15Am I a witch?
55:16Am I a werewolf?
55:16She's all those things
55:18Over and over and over she did
55:19It's like a bullseye every single time
55:21Every look that she comes out with is so well done
55:24I am so impressed by her polish and her poise
55:29I mean she is like the example of a drag queen
55:32Blackberry is a professional sweetie
55:34Like Blackberry comes to the stage for business
55:37She is coming to get the job done
55:39And it is joyous
55:40When you see someone having fun
55:42That just like lights up the room
55:44I agree
55:45I do want to point out
55:46The amazing versatility of our finalists
55:49I think if you look at them across the board
55:51Each one of them comes from
55:53And represents a marginalized community
55:55That no matter who goes on
55:57To take the crown and the title
55:59Of the world's next drag super monster
56:01These four artists have been
56:03Sort of raised up and celebrated
56:05And I think that's going to trickle down
56:07And inspire communities all across the world
56:10They also earned their spot undeniably
56:13Every single one of them
56:15Just killed it week after week after week
56:17I mean hi
56:18We ended up having to pick four of them again
56:19Even though we said we would
56:20Even though we said we never would
56:21And these four shows were a treat
56:23So much drag
56:24So much interpretation
56:26So much strangeness
56:27And I love it
56:28Okay well we have a very difficult decision to make
56:31But I think I have made up my mind
56:33And so have I
56:34Let's crown our next drag super monster
56:38Welcome back my delicious little dragons
56:56And thank you all for an incredible grand finale floor show
57:00You've killed, you've stolen, and you've stabbed each other in the back
57:05Just to get here
57:06To be here in this moment
57:08And to stand next to us on this stage
57:11Just a few inches away
57:12From this gorgeous and extremely expensive crown
57:16This beautiful and potent symbol of a pathway to power
57:20Love, fame, money, and happiness
57:24It truly brings warmth to our black little hearts
57:29In the end
57:30This has been a long, painful, and sadistic journey to the top
57:35Just as we designed it
57:37And although we are proud of everything
57:39All four of you were able to achieve this season
57:42There can only be one grand finale winner
57:46And we have made our final decision
57:48The winner of the Boulay Brothers' Dragula
57:52And the world's next drag super monster is
57:55Neo Hulu X
58:18Go forth and spread our message of drag, filth, horror, and glamour
58:31Ha, ha, ha, ha
