00:09We're back in the workroom after the elimination and I've had to send Naomi home.
00:14It's very bittersweet.
00:16Top freaking four!
00:18Don't shout that at the mirror, she's just gone home.
00:20But you gotta do what you gotta do.
00:22And I wanted to be in the final more.
00:24You look tremendously tussy.
00:27Serve the world what it needs.
00:30XOXO.
00:30Then she's kissed it and she's left a bit of a nose and a bit of a chin there.
00:34But babes, I have a feeling she didn't want to be in the finale.
00:37Just kidding, just kidding, I'm just kidding.
00:40It's a joke.
00:41But no shade, she came in and was consistently strong.
00:45Girl, that lip sync.
00:46That lip sync.
00:47Oh my gaga.
00:48Like you actually executed that song in a fucking quilt and it's a sexy song.
00:53Look at that leg slit there, look at that.
00:54Oh my god.
00:55Oh my god.
00:56She's so bloody.
00:56Oh, she's on fire.
00:59I'm so so proud of Kate.
01:01And she's proved that Kate Butch is that bitch.
01:06Should we say a wonderful Auf Wiedersehen?
01:08Bye bye.
01:08Tschüss, bye bye.
01:10Bye.
01:10I'll see you in cologne.
01:12Please wear some next time.
01:15Oh my god.
01:16Wow, I look sexy mate.
01:18Keep it up, she needs some air.
01:19Okay, girl.
01:20I think it's time for a refreshment and a good conversation.
01:24It's so sad to see Naomi go, but I'm so happy to be in the final four.
01:28For right now, I'm celebrating bitches.
01:31First of all, can we congratulate Mariah Balenciaga!
01:35You win the badge!
01:37I feel so honored to be part of the double badge club.
01:41At this stage of the game, I seriously thought it could have gone either way.
01:44I'm very happy for you though.
01:46Because you do look fabulous.
01:47I really appreciate it.
01:49I just want to take a moment and just relish in the fact that we are all here in the
01:54top.
01:54Oh ho!
01:55Yeah!
01:56Yeah!
01:57Yes!
01:58What's happening?
02:01Already?
02:02I wasn't expecting that at all.
02:04Is it the end of the world?
02:05No!
02:08I can smell the drama.
02:10What the top is happening?
02:12I'm done with the twist.
02:13Her majesty did already have herses.
02:16My top queens.
02:18Yes!
02:19You know, they say an elephant never forgets.
02:21What you call me?
02:22Well, neither does a drag queen.
02:24Uh-oh.
02:25So pack your trunk, because we're headed back down memory lane.
02:31I think we might be reuniting with some familiar faces.
02:35Eliminated queens.
02:36I just have one question.
02:38Okay.
02:38Who's bringing the potato salad?
02:40Uh-oh.
02:40What does that mean?
02:41I don't get it.
02:42Well, we'd better get our affairs in order.
02:44It's a reunion.
02:45Have security on standby.
02:47Oh!
02:48Ooh!
02:49Oh my God!
02:50Get out of here!
02:52Tonight, it's our grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the world.
02:58And later, our top four queens will go head to head and toe to toe, honey.
03:03In a lip sync smackdown for the crown.
03:06Hashtag Drag Race UK.
03:08But first, we're taking a catwalk down memory lane.
03:13Welcome back our previously eliminated queens.
03:17Bring back my girls.
03:20From Canada, Melinda Verga.
03:22Hello darling.
03:24Hi Michelle.
03:25From the Philippines, Minty Fresh.
03:28Bring back my girl.
03:29Bring back my girl.
03:29Bring back my girl.
03:30Look at her.
03:32Hi Michelle.
03:33Hi.
03:34From the UK, Sminty Drop.
03:37Hello darling.
03:39Hello.
03:40From Mexico, Serena Morena.
03:43Ay, que guapa.
03:46From the UK, Zahaira Zapanta.
03:51There she is.
03:56And from Germany, the only Naomi.
03:59Bring back my girls.
04:00Bring back my girls.
04:02Bring back my girls.
04:04Hello darling.
04:05Welcome back ladies.
04:07Naomi darling.
04:08Yes.
04:08You didn't quite make it to the final.
04:11It is bittersweet, but I am very proud of what I did.
04:15And I really think that I proved to the world why I deserve to be here.
04:20And that's what it's all about.
04:21Yes.
04:21Now, are you all happy to be back?
04:24Yes.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Who's fuming?
04:26Um.
04:27Oh, Sminty.
04:28Her hand went right up.
04:29Well hold that thought, because this reunion is missing a few guests.
04:34Oh.
04:35To all hail our final four, from the USA, Mariah Valenciaga.
04:41Yes!
04:43That's my mother.
04:44Come on.
04:44Yes!
04:45Hello darling.
04:47Ha ha ha.
04:49Opulent.
04:50From the UK, Kate Butch.
04:53Yes!
04:54Bravo!
04:55Come on, Butch.
04:56I love her.
04:58Yes.
04:58Hello darling.
04:59Come on love.
05:00Oh.
05:02From Thailand, Godlin.
05:05Yes!
05:06Yes!
05:07Yes!
05:08Yes!
05:09I've missed you.
05:14And from Drag Race Sweden, Fontana.
05:17Come on!
05:18Yes!
05:20Giddy up.
05:21Foncy, Foncy, Foncy.
05:23Hello gorgeous.
05:26The gang's all back together.
05:28Yay!
05:30It is an incredible season, and take it from somebody who's judging, you make it very difficult,
05:35because you are all incredible.
05:38Serena, I want to know what it's like to get the call to come back.
05:42I never imagined in my life to receive a second call, but when I receive the call, you know,
05:49indeed, I have an orgasm.
05:51Yes!
05:53Yes!
05:53As always, as always, is that an orgasm?
05:55And after all that, I say, oh my God!
05:57Are you having an orgasm right now?
05:59Are you having an orgasm right now?
06:00Yeah!
06:00Aye!
06:01That's amazing.
06:03Now, I can count ten of you, but one queen seems to be missing.
06:07Oh!
06:08Oh, Brick Crew!
06:10Ooh!
06:11Oh no!
06:12What is happening?
06:14Bitch!
06:15You're in!
06:16There she is, our chippy tea!
06:19Send her home now.
06:20Wow.
06:20So, let's go back to the first elimination.
06:23And, Melinda, sadly, it was you.
06:26Did you imagine it would be you going home first?
06:28Not in my wildest, wettest dreams.
06:31That was probably the worst case scenario for me.
06:34But let's talk about the lip sync that you lost to Naomi.
06:37Ooh!
06:38She went there.
06:38Oh, shit!
06:39I sent her home.
06:39I totally forgot.
06:41I'm sorry, girl.
06:42It looked like you didn't know the words.
06:45Why?
06:47First time lip syncing in front of RuPaul and yourself.
06:49That all played a part in me just kind of going.
06:52The words just were jumbled inside my head.
06:55Is that the kind of performer or girl I am?
06:57No.
06:57But it did happen and I have to live with that.
06:59That happens.
07:00But, you know, I'm currently enjoying and basking in my healing era.
07:05And most importantly, what I want to do after this.
07:08And what does that look like for you?
07:11Um...
07:11Quitting drag.
07:14Really?
07:14So that's been a consideration.
07:16Quitting drag.
07:17No.
07:18No, girl.
07:19You're a global phenomenon.
07:20It's not that I don't feel like drag is still an important part of my life.
07:24It's just now I might want to give my non-drag self a chance to also shine.
07:30It's shocking.
07:31Not gonna lie.
07:31But the choice is your choice.
07:33100%.
07:33So only you know what is right for you.
07:35I loved you in the lip sync, baby.
07:38Love you, girl.
07:38Minty.
07:39Hi.
07:40Now you were the first to receive the chippy tea from Godlin.
07:43Yeah.
07:44She saved you.
07:45But after the snatch game, you landed in the lip sync.
07:49Were you expecting a second chippy tea?
07:52I was, actually.
07:54Okay.
07:55But I totally respect Godlin's decision.
07:58I didn't send you home.
08:00It's Mama Ru.
08:03How tough was losing that lip sync to Fontana?
08:07It was heartbreaking to be eliminated.
08:09But I just felt like the song didn't require like splits and flips.
08:15Just for me.
08:16You had a very, very big reaction.
08:20Shantae, you stay.
08:25Thank you so much.
08:28I'm going to be honest, Michelle.
08:29Yeah, I want you to be.
08:31It felt kind of impolite to me.
08:34And you didn't even look at me.
08:36It felt like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
08:38Kind of like that.
08:39Is there anything you want to say?
08:40Oh, I have a lot to say.
08:42To start with, I really thought this song required lots of splits, lots of guard wheels.
08:47And that's what I did.
08:48And the celebration is basically just how Brazilians do.
08:52It was all natural.
08:54It was just like a natural instinct of my body.
08:56I apologize.
08:58There is not a single cell in my body that wished you anything negative to you.
09:02You were absolutely fierce.
09:03And I love you very much.
09:04Aw.
09:05You accept?
09:06Yep.
09:07Really?
09:08Let me process it.
09:10Okay.
09:10You're allowed to process it.
09:12Sminty.
09:13Hi.
09:13We have three UK girls here.
09:15Yes.
09:16So tell me, was there ever a UK alliance?
09:19Well, clearly not.
09:22If we're calling a spade a spade.
09:24Did you talk about one?
09:25Yeah, we talked about one literally right at the very start.
09:29What are we doing amongst ourselves?
09:30Well, I know that I've definitely got both your backs.
09:33I've got your backs.
09:33I've got your backs.
09:34And speaking of backs, I will be needing your help from one of you to shave my shoulders.
09:38Sminty, you landed in the bottom.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Were you wishing on a chippy tee from Kate?
09:44Yeah.
09:44And we all said that we were going to have each other's bags.
09:46So for it to not play out the way that it was sort of talked about.
09:50Well, for it to not even play out at all.
09:52At all.
09:52It was kind of a big shock.
09:54But I also feel like we had a little spat when we were doing the rehearsals.
09:57Like, I don't want everyone to lick my ass, but when you're sat there fucking giggling
10:00and hee-hee and ha-ha-ing, when I'm already like a self-conscious dancer.
10:04I think it was more so the fact that I felt like I'd made a really good friend,
10:08and that friend had kind of betrayed me.
10:10Yeah.
10:10But I also am still confused as to how that decision was even made.
10:14I just thought it was very surprising to me.
10:17The queen I have chosen to give the chippy tee to is Mariah.
10:25I was missing part of the plot where you and Mariah were best friends.
10:28I was like, I'm literally going to throw myself at you.
10:32It was the hardest decision that I've had to make, genuinely.
10:36When I saw you in the workroom listening to the lip sync,
10:39you looked so confident in it as well.
10:42And I thought, it'll be fine.
10:44If I don't save her, she'll save herself in the lip sync.
10:46But it was so many different ingredients that went into it.
10:49Like, the previous weeks in the competition, which you did do amazingly at.
10:54Yeah, I had the best track record out of all three of us that were stood up there.
10:57Yeah.
10:57Yeah.
10:58Genuinely, Sminty, I would not have put you in that position
11:01if I didn't have faith that you would be fabulous.
11:03Sminty, I just want to know why you didn't know the words to that song.
11:07To the lip sync song?
11:09Yeah.
11:09Well, I don't know who the bananas in pyjamas are.
11:13Well, let me tell you.
11:16Oh my God.
11:17Bananarama happens to be one of the highest selling girl groups.
11:21Yeah.
11:21Of all time.
11:22And I'm not even going to go into the fact that they were here.
11:25If I was doing that and I was giving the songs ahead of time,
11:28you're damn straight, I'm going to learn them.
11:29Yeah.
11:30I get myself really overstimulated and overwhelmed.
11:32I understand.
11:33That is important.
11:35Yeah.
11:35It's the number one thing for a drag queen to be able to lip sync.
11:38Yeah.
11:39And regardless of the decision, whether I think it's the right one or not,
11:42I'm still a bad bitch at the end of the day.
11:43Period.
11:44And I forgive you.
11:45Period.
11:45So, I love you so much and I do wish you all the best.
11:49Zahaira!
11:50Zahaira!
11:50Come on, girl!
11:52Now, you are a Drag Race superfan.
11:55Yeah.
11:55So what did you personally make of the lineup?
11:57As soon as Mariah came through the door, I was like, game off!
12:00Oh my god!
12:02No, I'm gooped!
12:03I remember watching Drag Race as a kid and my first season, it was Mariah's.
12:08Yes!
12:09I also hear that you're a Mariah's stalker, is that true?
12:13Full on, yeah!
12:15Restraining order now!
12:16Miss Mariah, throughout your whole three seasons, is this your first time at the top?
12:21Oh my god, it is!
12:22Wow!
12:23I know more about you than you.
12:24Wow!
12:25On All Stars 5 and your girl groups, you were in the bottom three.
12:29Three seasons of Drag Race and this is the first win.
12:32You went home on your snatch game.
12:35Well, yes.
12:36Keep reminding us.
12:36Oh no, because Zahaira, the Mariah encyclopedia.
12:39Yes!
12:42Yes!
12:44So, Mariah, full T.
12:46Yes.
12:47Did you know who Zahaira was?
12:48No.
12:48Okay.
12:49I knew the bitch was beautiful the minute she walked in the door though.
12:52Oh, she is.
12:52And I knew she was going to be a threat.
12:53So, you just had to get rid of that threat.
12:55Oh!
12:58I wouldn't have wanted to be sent home by anybody else.
13:01Oh, I love that.
13:02Okay, Naomi.
13:03Yes!
13:04Now, tell me.
13:05Did you or did you not say to Zahaira and Fontana that you weren't bothered about making
13:13the final?
13:13That you didn't really care?
13:14Well, to get that straight, like, first of all, I was fuming.
13:19They ripped it out of context and just put it out there for everybody to digest.
13:23Okay.
13:24This means no shade, but when I hear from some other people that they don't care about
13:28being in the finale, for example.
13:29Who said that?
13:31It's Naomi.
13:33It was basically like, I don't care about the finale.
13:37Yeah.
13:39What is the context of that?
13:41No, let me explain this.
13:41Let her say hers and then you all can say yours, okay?
13:43Let me explain the situation.
13:44We were on girl groups.
13:45Okay.
13:46I was struggling and I didn't think I would make it.
13:50So, I said something around, you know what?
13:53Just get me through the top five and I'll gladly move out the way for you.
13:57You know, I don't want to be in that final.
13:58Just get me there.
13:59Okay.
14:00Yeah.
14:00Now, Zahaira's shaking her head over here.
14:02Because at that point, you were already at the top.
14:04We've finished the critiques, girl.
14:07Fontana?
14:07It was not out of context.
14:09I think it was very clear why.
14:10Very clear.
14:11I felt that way and you had a lot to say about everything when the cameras were off.
14:16Yeah.
14:17Baby, the only people that know what happened, it's me.
14:19You and Zahaira and I'm fine with that.
14:22Yeah.
14:23Why are you like so pressed about it?
14:26I was just lip syncing for my life, baby.
14:27You've been there.
14:28It is terrifying.
14:29Yeah, I've been there.
14:29I did that myself.
14:30The thing that I'm so bothered about is like you going on and on and going back to it
14:35and back to it again and again.
14:37I said it once, babes.
14:37We're all here to, you know, say how we feel and you felt that way in that moment of time.
14:44Sometimes read the room a little bit.
14:46Okay.
14:46Could you take that on board, Naomi?
14:48I get where you're coming from.
14:50Okay.
14:50I was like, okay, I get why.
14:52Good.
14:52Great.
14:53And we learn.
14:54Now let's talk to our finalist.
14:56Fontana.
14:56Hi, Momo.
14:57You were lip syncing for your life two times you did.
15:00Yeah.
15:00And you never got the chippy tea.
15:02Never got the chippy tea.
15:03Why do you think?
15:04I have been asking myself why.
15:07It felt kind of lonely in a way, one chosen.
15:10I think if any of you would be in this situation, it would feel weird that you're never the one
15:15chosen.
15:16It's because you're a fierce bitch.
15:17That's why.
15:19We saw your lip sync for the win, girl.
15:20A lot of times people see someone that's constantly strong and constantly able to fight that they don't think you
15:26need a lifesaver.
15:28So I completely get where you're coming from and how you're feeling.
15:31And I must say, I placed myself here as a drag queen warrior and I have been fighting and fighting,
15:35I must say.
15:36Oh, I love that.
15:37Gotland.
15:38This is your first time out of Asia.
15:40Your first trip, right?
15:41Yes!
15:42My first time going this far.
15:44Like far from my country and it's very crazy.
15:47And you can, it's very cold.
15:49It is.
15:50My hair is fresel!
15:54When did you find out that you were freaking hilarious?
15:57Maybe here.
15:59Really?
15:59Yeah, I think I'm a very like serious person.
16:03You're sitting here wearing a carpet.
16:07This is high camp.
16:10Okay.
16:11Kate Butch.
16:12Hiya.
16:13So what does it mean to you to make it here to the final four?
16:18It's wild.
16:19Looking back on series five, Kate, watching the series, I kind of saw what was great about me.
16:24And what people liked about me was that I was different.
16:26So I thought when I come back here, yeah, lean into being a little freak, a little bastard.
16:31What's been your highlight?
16:32I think redeeming the runways, delivering things that people might not expect.
16:35I think you've done that.
16:37Yeah.
16:37Well done, you.
16:38Mariah, how does this rank in your drag race experience?
16:41All the way to the top.
16:42Oh, does it?
16:43All the way to the top.
16:43Literally and figuratively.
16:45For a couple of reasons, and I'll make them as short as possible for editing.
16:51Everybody was so much younger.
16:52Everybody was so beautiful.
16:54And you take that moment and you let it creep in.
16:56It's just like, do I still have it?
16:58Do I still have that oomph?
16:59So that was kind of the hardest thing that I had to keep overcoming every day coming into the workroom.
17:05But I'm glad you did.
17:06Every day there's somebody younger coming up behind you.
17:09So you can't lose sleep and time thinking about that stuff.
17:14To live in the moment.
17:15And I think that is a great message to end on.
17:18Now, earlier, we asked each of you to vote.
17:22The queens have spoken.
17:24And the winner of Miss Congeniality is...
17:32Terena Morella!
17:40Look, look!
17:42My love, you.
17:44Look how sweet.
17:45Take your man, take your man.
17:48Speak!
17:48Speak, Serena!
17:50Speak!
17:51Oh, thank you.
17:52Thank you, girls.
17:52Las quiero mucho.
17:53Las amo!
17:54I love you!
17:55Perrissima!
17:56Perrissima!
17:57Perrissima!
17:59Thank you, thank you.
18:00Thank you, thank you, thank you.
18:01I want to thank each of you for spreading the magic of drag around the world.
18:07And for that, you are all winners, baby.
18:10And to our final four queens, as you prepare for tonight's Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown,
18:15the Eliminated Queens, have something they would like to say.
18:19Good luck and don't fuck it up!
18:23Yay!
18:24We love you guys so much.
18:26Wow, we love you.
18:28Good luck, kids.
18:30Welcome to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK versus the World.
18:35It's time to say hello, hello, hello to my favorite ruffle.
18:40Michelle Visage, International Treasure Graham Norton, and the super-spexy Alan Carr.
18:48Now, I'm curious.
18:49What's your safe word?
18:50Her Majesty's got already done, had her since.
18:56Well, that's several words.
18:58It didn't sound very safe.
19:00If you hear that, run.
19:03This week, we're challenging our final four to a Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown.
19:08And tonight on the runway, category is Grand Finale Eleganza.
19:13Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
19:22Category is Finale Eleganza.
19:25Please welcome back, from Canada, Melinda Verga.
19:29Bonjour.
19:30Hi, my buhai.
19:31It's me again.
19:35Well, she's been all ready to crown herself.
19:38I'm serving both my Canadian culture and Filipino culture.
19:42You see the maple leaf.
19:43But on top, I've got the gold breastplate representing the Philippine eagle.
19:47And on my head, it's showing the eight rays of the sun on the Philippine flag.
19:52Unbelievable.
19:54Of course, I'm proud of everything I've shown in this competition.
19:57And it's my honor and privilege to have represented my country.
20:00See you later, boss.
20:01Oh, Canada.
20:05From the Philippines, Minty Fresh.
20:07All hail the leader of the planet Fresh.
20:11The staple gun went off in my hand.
20:14I'm wearing a four-letter gown, stale fashion, and it's still giving you that Minty Fresh fantasy.
20:20She's got a very piercing look.
20:21I thought that the stars will align for me in this competition, but I'm still happy that I tried my
20:29best.
20:29Yeah, it feels good.
20:31She really ought to trim those pubes.
20:35From the UK, Sminty Drop.
20:38Some bloke has made a pretty mess on her dress.
20:42For my finale eleganza, this look is paying homage to the iconic moth look that I got sent home in
20:48on my original season.
20:49I've been reborn. I'm slimy. I feel like a gooey, fluid girl.
20:54Why are these tissues so crispy?
20:56And, bitch, it lights up as well.
20:59Oh, she's all aglow.
21:01I had so much fun this time around. I'm so shoved as a butte to really have shown the truth,
21:10Minty, and to be able to have put myself out there.
21:13Who ordered the fatberg?
21:17From Mexico, Serena Morena.
21:21Olé.
21:23For my finale eleganza, I'm serving red, big lips.
21:28Besame mucho. It's a big kiss.
21:30She likes it rouge.
21:32Mmm.
21:33It's amazing to be on this runway again in front of Rupal.
21:38Wow.
21:39My pochita is trembling. It's vibrating. It's brrrr, brrrr.
21:43What does that shrug remind me of?
21:45I know, I know.
21:47You would.
21:49At this moment of my life, I feel very proud of myself.
21:55From the UK, Zahaira Sepanta.
21:59Zahaira is back, Kiana, for the finale eleganza.
22:04Oh, it's Union Jackie. Yeah, Jackie.
22:07I am the Union Jack personified, dragified.
22:11It was meant to be fit for a crown, but you know.
22:14It's not right, but it's UK.
22:17I feel like a drag grey success story.
22:19And I'm so happy that the world knows Zahaira.
22:25Sticker on a pole.
22:26And flyer.
22:28From Germany, the only Naomi.
22:31Space oddity.
22:33I am serving out of this world beauty.
22:35It is strange, because I really do see myself as kind of an alien.
22:40When you realize it wasn't red glue, but acid.
22:43I take in every moment, and have a little walk down memory lane in my head.
22:48Taking in all the amazing experiences I had.
22:51And I couldn't be more proud to represent Germany on this stage.
22:55Ground control to Major Slay.
23:01This is the beginning of a record you like.
23:04And our final four.
23:06From Drag Race Sweden, Fontana.
23:10Come to Brazil!
23:12Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya.
23:14I didn't know you spoke Portuguese.
23:17I'm giving you the best of both worlds, Brazil and Sweden.
23:21This look is inspired by the iconic Brazilian birds and the Swedish fish, which is a crazy combo.
23:28But hey, that's exactly what Fontana is about.
23:31This look is off the scale.
23:33I feel proud, and I am trying to process this moment.
23:37I'm trying to soak in all of this beautiful energy.
23:40And I hope you can feel the joy that I have walking down this runway.
23:44Well, I can see our flaps.
23:45Several of them.
23:48From Thailand, Godlin.
23:51I own 51% of this dynasty.
23:54I'm serving you pure royalty glamour.
23:58This look is inspired by Queen Sirikit, the queen of Thailand.
24:02I look like the real queen, so I should be queen of the mother-talking worlds.
24:06Those hips are full of pad thai.
24:09You got it in there!
24:11You did it!
24:11I've been waiting all season.
24:14And I feel so grateful and thankful.
24:16And this is what I was born for.
24:19Well, you've heard of Princess Diana.
24:20Well, this is Princess Ty-Anna.
24:24From the United Kingdom, Kate Butch.
24:28Oh, so that's what sciatica is.
24:30Yes!
24:31I am serving a beautiful English rose.
24:34I'm a bit sad that this is my last time to walk the runway, but what a way to go
24:38out.
24:38I think she was born this way.
24:41I've been on such a journey with my drag.
24:43I came to this competition wanting to show beautiful looks,
24:46and the fact that I am a drag queen to be reckoned with.
24:49And this look absolutely encapsulates that.
24:51She needs to get a better razor.
24:59From the United States of America, Mariah Balenciaga.
25:03This is the last hurrah.
25:05The ballroom diva has arrived.
25:07And then the dreamcatcher came to life.
25:10I am giving a 1920s flapper Art Deco vibe.
25:15And I am feeling divine.
25:18Well, she can pluck off.
25:19Walking the runway for the final time is very bittersweet.
25:23There has been some memories made on this runway.
25:25I look like a winner.
25:27I look like a queen.
25:28I look like the only goddess.
25:31Where there's a quill, there's a sleigh.
25:36Welcome, queens.
25:38It has been such a joy to watch you blossom and grow into the international superstars you are today.
25:46I'm so very proud of each and every one of you.
25:51Now it's time for the judges' final critiques.
25:55First up, Fontana.
25:58Fontana, it has been so much Fontana watching you bring your style of drag to this competition.
26:05You've had many great looks.
26:07The let them eat cape.
26:09The you're a star.
26:11And you tell it like it is.
26:13You bring everything to every challenge.
26:16And the looks you brought, it was the reveal one that was really, really memorable.
26:22Tonight on the runway, you look a million dollars.
26:25Even when you're at your ugliest as the ugly mother and you had the monobrow and the saggy tits, you
26:31still gave a hundred percent.
26:34Fontana, no one is surprised that you are in the final four.
26:37Your energy, your charisma, and of course, all of those bucket people out there now have their queen.
26:44Yep.
26:45What's your greatest memory of this competition?
26:47I think it's actually standing here on this stage.
26:49I haven't felt this good in a very, very long time.
26:53It's a full circle moment and I have a Swedish-Brazilian heart and I'm so happy to be here representing
26:58these two nations that are so, so close to me.
27:01Well, thank you very much.
27:03Up next, Godlin.
27:04You came right out of the gate with that Ruru Vision look.
27:09Since then, you never let us down.
27:11And that robot chicken for the redemption was outrageous.
27:14When you were the creepy guy in the acting challenge, I think that's when I really went, oh, this kid
27:20is in her own world.
27:22You never faltered.
27:24Even in the transformation challenge, where you were left with this great big hulking man.
27:29You know, you found a way round it.
27:32And it's what got you here.
27:34This is so beautiful.
27:36The playfulness of Cardi B.
27:40What a gift you've got.
27:42You can take the mickey out yourself and you can be funny.
27:45Godlin, you represent your country so well.
27:47Now, what we know of Thailand is impeccable drag, incredible attention to detail.
27:53And you've represented all of those things.
27:55But for 23 years old, you bring that extra something.
27:58And what do you think the people back home are going to think of you making it this far in
28:02this competition?
28:03I am just very so proud of what I've done and I hope Thailand proud.
28:09Thailand is proud.
28:11Thank you, Godlin.
28:14All right, up next, Kate Butch.
28:16You have come a long way since your season and it's all about the dragjectomy.
28:21The trajectory of your drag.
28:23What did you call her?
28:25The drag trajectory of where you are going and have come from.
28:30Your snatch game as Humpty Dumpty was just ridiculous.
28:32I've got a degree!
28:34And the reveal with the knitting.
28:36Who would have thought about that?
28:37Oh, I know who.
28:37Kate Butch.
28:38When you came out in that Union Jack dress, it's so fashion and you just thought, oh wow.
28:44And to this, you've gone full petal jacket.
28:46I forgot that one on the runway.
28:49But I got it in now.
28:52You really are in a different league after this season.
28:55And what I love about you, you've got a real stand-up comedian sensibility.
28:59Even without saying a word in the silent movie, you were hysterically funny.
29:04That is a real gift.
29:05You so do represent the UK's sense of humor, that sensibility, and you have elevated yourself.
29:12You look beautiful tonight.
29:14I'm in the most pain I've ever been in.
29:17It's worth it.
29:18It is so worth it.
29:19And did you have anything to do with the design?
29:22Yeah, I kind of wanted it to be a combination of my original entrance look with my original finale look.
29:27Kind of just a combination just to talk about like the journey.
29:29The dragjectory.
29:30It's not gonna catch on.
29:31It is. It is.
29:33Keep doing it.
29:35No one. No one.
29:36Don't be jealous, Graham.
29:40I see great things for you.
29:43Thank you so much.
29:46Mariah Balenciaga.
29:47This is elevated showgirl glamour.
29:49This is what I would want from Mariah Balenciaga.
29:51And the drag family resemblance, of course.
29:54I mean, you slayed that.
29:56The thing is, you've always stayed true to who you are.
29:59Because drag is different now than it was 15 years ago, let alone 25.
30:04Absolutely.
30:05Yes. And you're still here.
30:07You know, when American queens come to this international stage, I think they bring with them a real standard of
30:13excellence.
30:13And you did that.
30:14I mean, you have it all.
30:16And you have arrived again tonight.
30:18Because this is everything.
30:20And then when you team it up with that megawatt smile, you just light up the room.
30:25And then you surprise us all by being the mother in the silent movie, showing you could do comedy.
30:31And then I see you come on the runway.
30:33What's this? A villain?
30:34Oh, the iceberg in Titanic's a villain.
30:37I never saw that coming.
30:39Like the captain.
30:39Yeah.
30:43Well done.
30:44I'm so proud.
30:46Here you are.
30:46You represent the comeback.
30:48Now, we've always had high hopes for you.
30:50But this time, this time is the most meaningful.
30:52Because here you are, in the top four, where you always belonged.
30:58What shifted?
31:02As my young gay self at a very early age, I had exceeded all the expectations and dreams that I
31:08had for my younger self.
31:09And I just realized how to dream again and how to get it.
31:14Dream again.
31:15Dream new dreams.
31:15Yeah.
31:16And here you are, looking better than ever.
31:19Thank you, Mariah.
31:22I have one final question for each of you.
31:25Why do you think the world needs drag now more than ever?
31:28Starting with Fontana.
31:30Well, Mama, I usually say that I found drag in a hopeless place.
31:35And unfortunately, the world has become hopeless for many of us.
31:39Our communities are under attack.
31:41Our rights are being erased.
31:43So, if you and the art of drag reached a queer kid in the favela, I am sure the art
31:51of drag can save and inspire so many others out there.
31:54So, let's make the world fabulous, Mama.
31:57Thank you, Fontana.
32:00Kotlin.
32:00I think the world now, it's full of hatred.
32:04And, you know, people are discriminated.
32:07And I think, as a drag queen, we are here to serve fabulous to the world and make the world
32:13glittery and, you know, make it wonderful.
32:17Being here is very important because this means representation.
32:20And I hope that this journey will inspire the kids out there that feel like they don't belong.
32:27But I want to say, just dream big and you will make it happen.
32:33All right, Kate Butch.
32:34Why do you think the world needs drag now more than ever?
32:38The queer community is in danger.
32:40There are people in this world who want us dead.
32:44And some of them are succeeding.
32:48We, as drag queens and drag kings, drag performers, drag things, are teachers, leaders, court jesters.
32:57And the community looks to us.
32:59I think we can change people's minds, make people rethink that life isn't just in two boxes.
33:05There's an amazing world in between.
33:08And the world needs us.
33:10The world needs Fontana's bravery.
33:12It needs Gordland's energy.
33:14It needs Mariah's poise.
33:16And it needs Kate Butch's rampant and probably life-threatening IBS.
33:22Drag is everything.
33:25All right, Mariah.
33:27For far too long, the powers that be have taken advantage, violated and pillaged our communities.
33:34And drag represents a sword and shield to protect and amplify the voices of those marginalized communities.
33:39And it's so much harder to take advantage of the disadvantage when there's a spotlight shown right on that community.
33:45We are catching the hands in the cookie jars and we're not going to let it slide.
33:52Well, thank you, Ladykins.
33:53I think we've heard enough.
33:54So as you prepare for the ultimate lip-sync smackdown for the crown, the judges and I will contemplate our
34:01dragjectory.
34:02Thank you, Ru.
34:04Not me.
34:05Of course not, Graham.
34:09You may leave the stage.
34:12Ah!
34:12We made it to the floor!
34:15The floor!
34:16Oh, we did it, girlies!
34:19We're back in Untuck for one last time and listening to all the final critiques.
34:23Wow!
34:24My heart is full of pride.
34:27The floor!
34:28The floor!
34:28Eyes, eyes, eyes!
34:30Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes.
34:31What is eyes?
34:33There is no eyes on my drink.
34:34No, eyes.
34:35Because if you don't look at them in the eyes when you're cheers, you'll have seven years of bad sex.
34:38Oh my god!
34:38You said we were saying ice the whole time?
34:41We don't have that in Thailand.
34:43I'm sorry.
34:44You have beautiful eyes, by the way.
34:45Oh, thank you.
34:46Yeah.
34:46Brown out girl.
34:47I'm on a high.
34:49Mama, you got so many beautiful words.
34:52Yeah.
34:52It's definitely so empowering to so many people out there, but a celebration of Mariah.
34:56You should be so proud.
34:58Rue and Michelle have seen me from the very beginning.
35:01And what the younger queens call old school drag is simply polished drag.
35:06And there is no time limit, decade, century or otherwise, limiting polished drag.
35:15You, you beautiful butch queen.
35:17The glow up.
35:19Well, I didn't see your original season.
35:21But the things that everybody said behind your back.
35:25Are you really cute ears?
35:27Are you that bad?
35:28But no, this right here, I want all of this.
35:33I mean, to hear you say that, you bastard.
35:35I'm so glad that they recognize that I have put the work in.
35:38I'm just so grateful.
35:41Goddamn baby, how are you doing?
35:42I, to be honest, feeling like this is very far from what I expect.
35:47And I am so proud.
35:48And I want to win.
35:51But if I cannot make it to the win,
35:53I really still really happy that I made it to the finale.
35:57You know what I mean?
35:58Especially without three of you right here.
36:00I really love each and any one of you.
36:03Fontana, my love.
36:04How are you feeling?
36:05I am feeling very, very emotional.
36:10It's a lot.
36:11I gave my all through this season, babes.
36:13And also the message of all of us being so different on a top four.
36:17Yeah.
36:18How many, as you said, we're like changing the world.
36:20Yeah.
36:21And we're talking about moments through life.
36:23People, they're finding themselves.
36:25This, what we're doing is definitely a revolution.
36:28So I'm so thankful to be a part of it.
36:31And here it goes.
36:32Another very long answer.
36:35Are you getting paid by the word?
36:36I wish.
36:38I wish.
36:39I wish.
36:39Let's get down to business.
36:40How are we feeling about the Smackdown for the crown?
36:44We, you've won a lip sync.
36:45That's the only reason I'm still here.
36:47I've won a lip sync.
36:48You've won three lip syncs.
36:49And one of them was over Godlin.
36:51All my drag race journey, I never won lip sync.
36:54Oh.
36:56Someone on this sofa will be taking home 50,000 pines.
37:01I'm not entirely well known for my lip sync ability.
37:04But if I've done anything in this competition, it's proved people wrong.
37:08I'm ready for a lip sync Smackdown.
37:11Now it's time.
37:13Yeah.
37:13Let's crown.
37:13Yeah.
37:14Let's go.
37:14The queen of the mother talking world.
37:16Yeah.
37:18Let's do this.
37:19Kick it in the dick.
37:22Welcome back queens.
37:25It's time to share the lip sync Smackdown rules sanctioned by the United Nations of Drag.
37:34A spin of the wheel will decide which two queens will compete in lip sync number one.
37:41Next, the two remaining queens will face off in lip sync number two.
37:45Then the two winning queens will lip sync for the mother tucking crown.
37:50And the winner will receive 50,000 pounds.
37:56Ladies, let the lip sync Smackdown and begin.
38:02Yes.
38:03To determine our first contender, Miss Congeniality, Serena Morena, will do the honors with a little help from the Chippy
38:14Tee.
38:15Ooh, que rico.
38:20Finalists, as you can see, the number of times your faces appear on the wheel has been increased by the
38:28number of Rue Peter badges
38:30you've earned.
38:32I love a game show as much as the next person, but that spinning wheel is filling me with dread.
38:37Serena?
38:39Spin that wheel.
38:41Spin that wheel.
38:42Si mamma.
38:49Come on, come on.
38:51Ooh, treat mama nice.
38:54Oh yeah.
39:03What are the chances?
39:06Spin it again.
39:24Mariah Balenciaga, the will has spoken.
39:29You will compete in the first lip-sync.
39:33Now please, select your opponent.
39:38Choose wisely.
39:43You know what? I want to battle my daughter.
39:47Oh my god.
39:49Oh my godlin.
39:52Mariah has chosen Godlin.
39:55No.
39:55That means Fontana and Kate Butch.
39:58You will face off in tonight's second lip-sync.
40:04I think Godlin is a little dynamite.
40:06So I need to take her out first.
40:09You two may step to the back of the stage.
40:20Okay Godlin, you get to choose the lip-sync song.
40:24Oh Brit Crew.
40:27Oh my god.
40:30Look at these boxes.
40:32Oh.
40:33My boxes.
40:34Big package.
40:35UK delivers again.
40:36Each of these boxes contains a lip-sync song fit for a grand finale.
40:44Godlin, whose box would you like to open?
40:47Box one or box two?
40:50I'm going to go for box number one.
40:53Godlin has chosen box number one.
40:55Kelechi, open that box.
40:59Ah.

49:29Kate Bush.

49:40Congrats, kid.

49:51Good job.
49:52Condragulations, baby. You're amazing.
49:53I am far too out of breath to feel much after that lip-sync, but what I am is thrilled
49:58to be in the top two.
50:01What was under that wig? I guess we'll never know.
50:04Fontana, I'm sorry, my dear, but this is not your time.
50:09Thank you for a fabulous season.
50:11You are and always will be a global phenomenon.

50:39Thank you so much.
50:39Muchas gracias.
50:40Muito obrigada. Talk to me, Kit.
50:43Thank you for making my dreams come true.
50:46This is a very tough moment for me because I really wanted to go all the way, but this
50:51was just the first chapter.
50:52The Fontana Show experience has just begun.
50:56Oh, no, wait.
50:59Oh, no.

51:25Oh, God, you can clap louder than that.
51:27There we go.
51:31Now, this is going to take a while.
51:32Keep cheering.
51:39Thank you for that unexpected applause.
51:43Tia Kofi, you all right, babe?
51:44Oh, gosh.
51:45It's good to be back, isn't it?
51:47It is.
51:48Now, how has your reign been?

51:50I wouldn't change it for the world.
51:52And I would like to thank each and every one of you, mother, father, uncle, auntie,
51:57for this opportunity, for this platform, and for letting me come and be an idiot here twice.
52:02It's been amazing.
52:03Well, that you are.
52:07I'll wear that with pride.
52:09Well, have a seat, darling.
52:13It's like your age is going to take a while again.
52:15I should have just worn my pajamas.

52:43plus a cash prize of £50,000.
52:49Two internationally acclaimed queens stand before me.
52:58This is your last chance to impress me and prove that you are queen of the mother-tucking
53:07world.
53:11All that's left is one more lip sync.
53:14This is the end of my dragjectory, and I want it to end in victory.
53:18The time has come for you to lip sync for the crown!
53:29I'm so close to my dream!
53:33Kate is a bastard drag queen.
53:35She can do funny things, but I have all tricks up in my sleeve.
53:41Good luck, and don't fuck it up.
54:06You tell me that it's no use.
54:10Love's always been my excuse.
54:14Don't tell me it ain't right.
54:18My heart is my alibi.
54:20Only you, you, you.
54:23You get me every reason I can do.
54:25You, you, you, you say you can't believe it, but it's true.
54:30Ooh, ooh, ooh.
54:31And it's true.
54:33Ooh, ooh, ooh.
54:38What should I do to guess the message is true?
54:42I cannot prove that I really love you, love you.
54:46Do I have to do to get it through to you?
54:50I cannot prove that I really love you, love you.
54:56What should I do to guess the message is true?
55:00I cannot prove that I really love you, love you, love you.
