00:03Top three!
00:07Fuck yes, top three!
00:14It has been seven weeks of competition.
00:17We've been high, we've been low, we've been upside down.
00:20How did you get high?
00:21Hollywood is a fierce fucking competitor.
00:23Good luck girls, love you forever, Hollywood.
00:27Love you too, Holly.
00:28I have no idea how I managed to survive that lip sync against her.
00:32I'm so proud of you.
00:34The remix, bitch.
00:38In my peripheral vision, I could see her duck walking and, you know, doing death drops.
00:42I'm shocked.
00:43Like, I was just looking at her the whole time.
00:46I think there was a couple of lyrics Holly did miss.
00:48I suppose the other thing as well is perhaps she wasn't serving face.
00:51And the judges have asked her to reveal herself and...
00:54And she didn't even reveal the age.
00:57I really wanted Hollywood to be here, to be honest.
01:00But, listen.
01:02We are top three, mommy.
01:03Can we just comment quickly on a double fucking win?
01:06Three wins, bitch.
01:08I also won two mini-challenges, so that is three wins.
01:12Oh Jesus fucking Christ, I suck.
01:13I could not be in a better position to go into the finals.
01:16Three wins.
01:17I'm beyond grateful.
01:18I'm getting the fuck out of drag, bitch.
01:20Come on Talyn, I had to lip sync twice.
01:22I'm still here, bitch.
01:23I made it.
01:24I want this crown.
01:26It's mine.
01:27Come on Talyn, you didn't need to lip sync at all with three wins.
01:31It seems like it's written in the stars.
01:33I can't stop now.
01:34Hey Isis, who asked?
01:37It's common knowledge.
01:40You can have all the fucking wins, darling.
01:42You have to have more than personality.
01:44And I do have more than personality.
01:47I just can't wait the first Latina queen to be crowned in Down Under.
01:51How about the first Australian queen to win, bitch?
01:54I don't know.
01:56Australia, Australia.
01:58New Zealand.
01:59Oh, I have Brussels sprouts.
02:01What does that mean?
02:03What's so fucking funny?
02:04Teeny tiny cabbage is a Brussels sprout.
02:07What the fuck are you talking about food?
02:10Bitch.
02:11This is my moment.
02:13And make the best drag queen, mama.
02:18Win.
02:19New Zealand is bad.
02:21Ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:31Jump three!
02:34Oh, my.
02:36Jump three, bitch!
02:38Coming into the final week.
02:39This is a dream come true.
02:40It doesn't work for him.
02:41Feel empty.
02:42Empty.
02:43Empty.
02:43Empty.
02:45I'm so ready for Roo to walk through that door and tell us what the fuck we're about to do.
02:49Cause I'm ready to win this fucking competition.
02:52Girls, this competition has been absolutely cuckoo bananas.
02:55Crazy.
02:56Yeah.
02:56So many highs and lows.
02:58Let's just have a little walk down memory lane.
02:59Yes.
03:00What about when Ivory fainted?
03:04You okay?
03:05We were scared for her life then.
03:07Yeah, sorry.
03:09She's going down.
03:11But she went, so that's fine.
03:13Yeah, wow.
03:14Remember Nipple Gates with Ashley?
03:16Oh, poor Jill.
03:18It's Ashley coming at you in 3D.
03:21But it was her fault.
03:22Roo taught production to ask her if she wanted to, you know, cover her nipples.
03:25And she's like, no.
03:26I know.
03:27That's true.
03:28I'm so embarrassed.
03:30I had no voice.
03:31It's lovely to hear her not talk for a couple of hours.
03:33I want that to happen again.
03:34It's your latest deal.
03:35I like him!
03:36Gab just wants to have some fun.
03:38I don't like being in the sun.
03:39The thing is you made your verse work with what you were working with.
03:42Abso-fucking-lutely.
03:44This bitch has fought really hard as well because we all fucking said you were going home.
03:47Yeah, you fucking bitches.
03:48I would have to say floor.
03:49Floor.
03:50How do you have to go with floor?
03:52It was the situation.
03:53It was the moment.
03:54It was the time.
03:57Oh, and of course, the hunk himself, Adam Lambert.
04:00Oh.
04:02Call me, Adam.
04:04I hope he calls me.
04:06You've had quite a few lovely looks.
04:08G'day, g'day, g'day.
04:13Hello.
04:15Look at you.
04:16Down Under's top three queens.
04:22You know, it's no accident that you're standing here today.
04:25This season, you've given your all, exceeded expectations, and made us fall in love with
04:30you over and over again.
04:33And now you've got one more chance to prove that you've got the charisma, uniqueness, nerve,
04:38and talent to be crowned Down Under's next drag superstar.
04:42Yeah.
04:44That crown's destined for this noggin.
04:47All right, for your final maxi challenge, you're going to need to dig deep as you collab
04:52on my new single, Crying on the Dance Floor, the Deep Down Under mix.
04:58Oh, my God.
04:59Oh, my God.
05:00Wow.
05:01Wow.
05:02I'm fucking stoked.
05:03This is going to be so much fun.
05:05First, you'll write and record your own solo verse.
05:08I think this could be one of my brightest moments.
05:11And then, to help you tackle the most challenging choreography of the season, you'll be working
05:17with a true lip sync assassin.
05:20From Drag Race Down Under season two, Queen Kong will be here.
05:25Oh, my.
05:27Girl.
05:28Queen Kong.
05:28Oh, bitch.
05:35Okay, bitch.
05:36Oh, this is going to be some hard choreography.
05:38Play the runway.
05:39The last, but not least, each of you will have a Kiki with me and Michelle Visage.
05:46Oh, yes.
05:47Oh, I can't wait for that.
05:48No choreography required.
05:50Oh, thank God for that.
05:52And before this week is over,
05:54we are going to crown ourselves a winner, baby!
05:57Dwarf!
05:59Racer's on.
06:01Racer's, start your engines,
06:03and may the best drag queen win!
06:15Isn't this crazy?
06:17This is so fun. I'm just so glad I actually get to
06:18sing on a song in this competition.
06:20I was so sad in BMX Pictures that my voice was
06:22robbed of me. I'm so happy about this
06:25and I get to do it in collaboration
06:26with RuPaul.
06:28Okay, I got it.
06:30Oh!
06:33This is cute.
06:35I can work with this.
06:38One of my, like, wishes
06:39being here is to share my story
06:41and hopefully, like,
06:42help people not feel alone.
06:44I mean, you can do so much with it.
06:46And I know which direction I'm gonna go with it.
06:49I think the song is
06:50is more how, like, about your experience.
06:53Me being on the show,
06:54how I've been growing
06:56on my drag, in my
06:58personality. I just really want to show
07:00them that I'm grateful
07:02and I'm happy
07:04and I'm confident to be here in the top three
07:08sharing my talent.
07:09I really like in the song
07:11how it's like, that's the old me,
07:13that ain't me no more, so I think it's gonna be
07:14a song about change.
07:16I really just want to say that I'm really proud
07:19that I'm still here.
07:20And by still here I don't just mean
07:22the top three, I just mean
07:25alive.
07:26I wasn't okay pre-getting a diagnosis
07:29and now I'm
07:31thriving.
07:34There's been a lot of ups and downs that's got me to this point.
07:37With unmedicated
07:38ADHD, it's a very common occurrence
07:40to, you know, take up
07:41vices of addiction. I was taking drugs
07:44recreationally. I'm just not that person
07:46anymore and I'm really proud of all the changes
07:48that I've made. I think I really
07:50just want to show the growth
07:52through this verse. It is kind of scary to
07:54open up and share that sort of stuff with the world
07:56but if it helps one person
07:58then it's doing what it needs to do.
07:59The lyrics are coming quite thick and fast.
08:03What the fuck are we gonna do to dance to this though?
08:07It's time to head over to the main stage to learn this choreography.
08:10Oh my god, hi!
08:12Who else is there for Drag Race Royalty?
08:13Queen Kong! Oh my god!
08:15Hello! Hello my loves, how you going?
08:17Hi Queen!
08:21I'm Queen Kong. Hello!
08:24But...
08:25I know what Queen Kong can do!
08:29Oh my god, you can dance,
08:31twirl
08:32and serve a look like no other bitch
08:34I know. I'm excited for this.
08:35I'm a fucking superstar queen. Google me.
08:38This is my two assistants. This is Vincent
08:40and this is Compton. Hi Vincent, hi Compton.
08:42I heard that you've been in the studio
08:43reporting a track. Uh-huh.
08:45You're gonna be doing some choreography with me today.
08:47I made it really hard on purpose
08:49because I am the dancing diva of Down Under.
08:52I am here to let these girls have it.
08:55I don't know if any of them are dancers
08:56but I'm gonna give it to them anyway.
08:58Look alive everyone!
08:59Your final day. One of you guys are gonna win.
09:01I don't know what that's like but I heard it's really cool.
09:06Let's have it.
09:07And one. Over two.
09:10Swivel out to the right four.
09:11Head circle five.
09:13Queen Kong is a professional dancer.
09:15I'm not.
09:16Click eight. Step one. Turn two.
09:20Little head three.
09:21That's a lot.
09:23How we doing? How we doing?
09:25Yeah, trying to keep up getting there.
09:27Yeah, yeah. Great. Okay, from the beginning.
09:29Fuck, alright.
09:30Do this. Do that.
09:32Boom. Bah. Bah.
09:33Go hips to the right.
09:35Hips to the left.
09:37But if it's like bah, I'm like still in the book.
09:40Yeah, it's like a boom, boom, boom.
09:42Up and down.
09:43Help.
09:44Go one. Up two. Step three.
09:46Up four. Go five.
09:47Six and seven. Flex eight.
09:49Isis is getting it.
09:51So quick. She's like pal.
09:54And hit, hit, hit.
09:56Love it. I'll probably put you in the front for this.
09:58I think.
10:00I don't think. I know I'm doing okay.
10:02Go one. Up two. Up three.
10:04Four. Five. Six.
10:06Butt butt and flick and send.
10:08And knee and shoulder. Hip hip.
10:10Puss Isis. Isis is killing these girls.
10:13And I am really worried for gab and for floor.
10:15Ba ta. Tee tee ta. Come on.
10:18Two. Three. Up. Da da da da da.
10:21Yeah. Yeah.
10:23Some dresses are my best.
10:24Put my shirt together.
10:27Can you do a barrel roll?
10:29Yeah. Ready?
10:30Yes.
10:31Yes.
10:33I'm just like you.
10:35It's incredibly important for me to nail Queen Kong's choreography because it's out of my comfort zone.
10:40I need Rue to see that I can do it all.
10:41I might have lost the crown but I've won all the bookings so learn.
10:46Right left flick.
10:48Yep.
10:48When she started letting go and letting gab take over, that's when I was sold.
10:53I feel like you've got it.
10:54I'm glad you feel like that.
10:56Regardless of whether she was on the beat, I think if she leads with what she does best,
11:00which apparently is being a dickhead, then look, look who won last season, a big dickhead.
11:05Alright girls, it's the end.
11:07You've got a lot on the line.
11:08Don't relax.
11:09Right.
11:09You're not there yet.
11:10I think they're capable of like hitting this off and making it really iconic,
11:14but I do think they need to work their asses off.
11:16Step your pussies up.
11:17Fight with love.
11:18Don't let me down.
11:21The stress is real.
11:23Go girls. Time to rehearse.
11:25It's gonna be a long night for me.
11:28I have to make this work.
11:37Hi Ru, hi Michelle.
11:39Hello.
11:39Hello Isis.
11:41All sparkly, your sparkly t-shirt.
11:43Brilliant.
11:44She didn't make that one.
11:45No, I didn't make that one.
11:46Oh no.
11:47Shame on you.
11:49Well, welcome to our little talk here.
11:51Thank you for having me.
11:53One of the privileges of getting to the top three is having this talk with Ru and Michelle.
11:57You don't get that on the runway.
11:59Have you made friends with the girls?
12:00I have.
12:01Gabs and I knew each other before.
12:02We've grown really close.
12:03And Flora and I, we've just grown to love each other.
12:06Gumpra and I have developed even a closer relationship.
12:08Rita and I connected.
12:09We're both introverts.
12:10Are you gonna go through everyone?
12:11Yes.
12:14It's a drag race family.
12:16Like it really is.
12:17It really is.
12:17It really is.
12:18It's been wonderful.
12:19You came into this, you know, as the fashion queen.
12:21I think you backed it up.
12:23But did you surprise yourself with your comedy skills in the Snatch Game?
12:26I did.
12:27Quite surprised that I could revel in it so much in a pressure cooker for a situation.
12:31And then just be like,
12:37What's your family gonna think of this?
12:42I hadn't told my dad I do drag.
12:45Really?
12:46Three weeks before I came here, my mum told him for me.
12:50He's of a generation that doesn't get that Catholic background.
12:54Italian.
12:55Italian.
12:56And I was terrified that I wouldn't talk to me.
13:03And it was all for nothing.
13:05He said,
13:07You know, Michael, that's you.
13:08That's what you do.
13:09Like, I love you.
13:10Go be the best.
13:12Go do it.
13:13The weight that was lifted,
13:15that I've been carrying for so many years.
13:19It was the last pin that needed to be pulled for me to be free.
13:26And you're doing it.
13:27It's so gracious to share that with all the kids who are watching.
13:33Because it's so freeing to let it go.
13:36Because then you have all this bandwidth to do,
13:39be more creative, more loving, more yourself in your life.
13:43So what would it mean to you then, to be Down Under's next drag superstar?
13:48It would mean that I would have a platform to be able to give more.
13:55And bring people into the circle of love.
13:59It would mean everything.
14:02Well, Isis, it's been such an honor to watch you emerge as a top three.
14:08Thank you so much, Rui.
14:10I'd like to offer you a Jaffa.
14:11Oh, a Jaffa!
14:12Yeah?
14:12Use the little spoon down there for safety.
14:14Thank you, yes.
14:15Just one.
14:17One?
14:17Are you sure?
14:18One half now, half a bit later.
14:20Exactly.
14:22Good luck to you, sweetheart.
14:25Hello.
14:26Come on in, Floor.
14:27Hola.
14:29Bienvenido a Floor.
14:30Welcome to Floor.
14:31Yeah, yeah, you got it.
14:32Oh, I thought you were going to say, was that Spanish?
14:34I was going to, but then I remember that she's a judge.
14:37I'm like, oh, no, you didn't.
14:37You didn't, Michelle.
14:38I love you.
14:39Yes.
14:39Did you know English when you moved to New Zealand?
14:42I knew the basic.
14:43My ex-partner was like, you should come here to New Zealand to live with me.
14:47And you stayed because you love it.
14:49Yeah, yeah.
14:51Guatemala is, it has too much violence.
14:54Beautiful places.
14:55The tourism is fine.
14:57Amazing.
14:57But to live there, I wouldn't recommend.
14:59Why?
15:00Too many gangbangs.
15:02Gangbangs?
15:03Yeah.
15:03Too many gangbangs.
15:03I don't think gangbangs is right.
15:05I think you mean gangbangers.
15:07Gangb... yeah.
15:08Yeah.
15:09Too many gangbangers.
15:10Could there really be too many gangbangs?
15:13Well...
15:14But there definitely could be too many gangbangers.
15:18Did you drag when you were living there?
15:20Yeah, I did drag.
15:21My cousin is a fashion designer.
15:22So he was like, putting the dresses on me.
15:25I saw myself in the mirror.
15:28Everything changed.
15:29Ah.
15:30So here you are, top three.
15:32You've been such a joy in this competition.
15:35So fun.
15:36Have you always been that way?
15:37I think so.
15:38Mm-hmm.
15:39That is the best way to be.
15:41But what you do with your time for people with dementia...
15:45You must bring so much joy to your... to your position.
15:49Do you?
15:50Do they love you?
15:51I do.
15:51I'm exactly like this.
15:52They call me princess.
15:55That's very sweet.
15:56What would it mean to you to win the title of Down Under's next drag superstar?
16:02I think I'm ready to show the world that with love and happiness, you can be whatever you want.
16:10Well, good luck to you, my love.
16:12Thank you, mama.
16:12We'd like to offer you a Jaffa.
16:14Just a little one.
16:15Ah.
16:16Now, you can have it orally or however you want.
16:19Yes.
16:20I think about it.
16:21Okay.
16:22Mwah.
16:23Love you. Bye.
16:24Bye.
16:26Bye.
16:31Ciao, Bella.
16:33Do you think that the other girls in this competition wrote you off as like the camp, you know, the
16:38clown queen?
16:39Absolutely.
16:40You saw what I wore coming into this competition.
16:43I wanted these girls to go, what the fuck is this bitch wearing?
16:46No.
16:47And just discredit me so that I could just boom.
16:50Show them what I'm really made of.
16:52Show them what a small town girl can do.
16:54I think I've done that here.
16:55Smart.
16:56We talk about you showing a full range of emotions.
17:00I think what's happening is you have a judgment against you without the comedy piled on.
17:07Where does that come from?
17:08You have a strict family that you grew up with?
17:10No.
17:11My family are very loving and supportive.
17:13However, my grandfather was a minister of the church and I was so scared to come out because I thought,
17:20you know, church, gay, no, no, yuck.
17:22And when my pop actually did pass away and we're going through all these old photos, here's a photo of
17:27him delivering a sermon in drag.
17:30What?
17:31Yeah.
17:31It was just a really heartwarming moment for me to go, had I known I wouldn't have been so scared
17:37to just open up to my family from the fucking get-go and just be who I was.
17:41And the same is true today.
17:42Be who you are.
17:43Because, listen, you've got the walk, walk, knock, knock, you've got all that stuff in the bag.
17:48Yeah.
17:49Be courageous enough to show the other.
17:52Your idea of glamazon was still Wilma Flintstone.
17:54So we still really haven't gotten that moment yet.
17:57Yeah.
17:58Just you wait.
18:00We bloody can't wait.
18:02Uh huh.
18:03What would it mean to you to be crowned Down Under's next drag superstar?
18:08It would mean a huge victory for the small town girls.
18:12It's okay to be a big fish in a small pond and fucking reach for the stars because you can
18:16do it. I'm doing it.
18:18Good.
18:18Remember that.
18:19Yeah.
18:20You can take as many jaffas as you'd like.
18:22Just use the spoon, you big pig.
18:26Okay.
18:27Thank you so much.
18:29Enjoy.
18:30They're from 1987.
18:31Yeah.
18:31Grazie, grazie.
18:39Number three!
18:43Oh my god, they're finally in the workroom, bitch.
18:45We just carried you in like we carried you here to the end, my love.
18:49Girls, I was practicing in the hotel room until late last night.
18:52What time is late last night?
18:54One.
18:54Same.
18:55I was up to 1.30 rehearsing.
18:58There's two or three steps that I'm still not sure about it, but I'm just gonna give it all.
19:06I had to do it.
19:07Yeah.
19:08The Queen did really well in the Corrie.
19:10Yeah.
19:11A lot of patience with us.
19:12Wow, a lot of patience with you two.
19:14We'll get there.
19:14I was slower to pick it up, but I'm gonna keep up with Isis.
19:18And who knows, hopefully Isis will trip up.
19:19I'm gonna paint my face good-bye.
19:21I'm like, oh yes, let's paint our face for the last time girls.
19:24Today, I want Ru to tell me I'm the next drag superstar.
19:29I watched this show for the first time in 2013, and when I saw it, I was mesmerized.
19:36Growing up, I didn't think I'd have anything like this.
19:38I thought I'd be pushed to the sidelines like a freak.
19:43Yeah, I feel really blessed to have this experience.
19:47This show allows us to connect with each other.
19:50There is a shared love, and it feels like I've come home.
19:55It feels like I'm where I'm meant to be.
19:57It's life-changing.
19:59It's life-changing, yeah.
20:01Oh!
20:02Oh my god, girls.
20:03What?
20:03Gina, I'm ready to hear!
20:05What is going on?
20:08Okay.
20:09Actually, for real.
20:11Don't see your thing.
20:13What the fuck?
20:15What's up, Mama Takari!
20:17Yes!
20:18Yes!
20:20Thank you, Mama Takari!
20:23It's Na Na Na, the last year's winner's Thank You Jackson!
20:27Oh!
20:29Oh my goodness!
20:29Hello!
20:31My message to people at home is live life.
20:34Don't worry about other people.
20:35The moment that I just started doing what I did was the moment I was set free.
20:39Tommy won!
20:41Do you set free, bitch?
20:42It's always Barbie and Barbie, but yeah!
20:46So, how are you guys feeling?
20:48So tired.
20:49Yeah, it's exhausting, right?
20:50Love it.
20:51Who do you think has the best chance of winning?
20:53Well, I like to think that I stand out more than these two.
20:56Okay.
20:57I'm the point of difference being the comedy girl.
20:59Oh, okay, the comedy girl.
21:00I'm the one who's on the most challenges.
21:02Oh!
21:02Okay, wow!
21:03Spanky will back me up here.
21:05She has three maxi wins, but I have a maxi and two mini-challenges.
21:08Therefore, three wins.
21:11Exactly!
21:12Thank you, Mitch!
21:13Em, what do you think about your chances?
21:15I think I go.
21:16Yeah?
21:16Yeah.
21:17I'm confident.
21:18I love it.
21:19Who's been the shadiest out of you three?
21:21This one.
21:24Spanky's energy is just stark quality material.
21:28Okay, so do you want any advice?
21:29How did you manage to cope with choreography in the last challenge?
21:32Don't focus too hard on getting the move right.
21:35Focus on the performance.
21:36Yeah.
21:36And then if you do fucking make a mistake, just leap into it or something.
21:39I don't know.
21:40Just own it.
21:41Floor, hit me.
21:42Where does your confidence come from?
21:44Well, I've got a really nice penis.
21:47No.
21:49The confidence comes from within, do you know what I mean?
21:51And just remember that you're great at what you do.
21:53Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.
21:54Yeah.
21:55Regardless of what's happened in the competition, just remember that there's always a chance.
21:59I'm living proof of that.
22:00Honestly, I had no thought in my mind that it was ever going to fucking happen.
22:03Do you know what I mean?
22:04I was happy to just take my free peppuccino and go home at the end of the day.
22:07But you know what I mean?
22:08So just never forget that.
22:10I have a question for you.
22:11What's that?
22:12When RuPaul slapped you, did she make contact?
22:14Or was it a stage slap?
22:15Yeah, she did.
22:15She actually did?
22:17Nah.
22:17She would have got done.
22:18I thought it was so camp when RuPaul got spankied over to, you know, slap her in the face.
22:28Okay, well, you know what?
22:29Come on.
22:30I'll let you have a free shot.
22:31Come on.
22:33You think you're big in this town?
22:35I am.
22:36I don't think so.
22:38Okay, that was good.
22:39I liked it.
22:39Yeah.
22:40Ah!
22:40Ah!
22:42That was fun.
22:43Okay, well, I think, I think I'm going to go, but remember what I said, smash the fucking
22:48Corrie in the dick, and then just go out there and turn a look, alright?
22:52And I'll see you on the runway.
22:54Hey!
22:58Having Spanky come and talk to us, it really just solidifies, fuck, I'm so close to that
23:03crown.
23:03A small town girl can do it.
23:05It's time for a small town Aussie girl to do it.
23:07Bye!
23:08Bye Spanky, thank you so much.
23:10I'm just going to go out my new entrance because I'm coming to host next year.
23:13I'm just saying.
23:15Bye!
23:16Bye for the second!
23:19The time has come for us to perform this special remake of Star.
23:27It's going to be sickening.
23:29I'm so ready to find out who the winner is, you have no idea.
23:37I didn't even know I was the shadiest.
23:40Welcome to the grand finale of RuPaul's Star Grace Down Under.
23:44This week, it's just family.
23:46Michelle Visage, what are you going to miss most about New Zealand?
23:50Hmm, well, the people, of course.
23:53And this!
23:54It's called the Fijoa.
23:56And I brought one for you!
23:57It's a fruit, it's delicious!
23:59Does it taste like Hokey Pokey?
24:00Mm-hmm, like a mouth full of tart sunshine.
24:06Rhys Nicholson, what's next for you?
24:09Two things, RuPaul.
24:11Firstly, I'd like to announce my complete retirement from show business.
24:15Oh!
24:17Secondly, I'd like to announce my comeback tour.

25:47You won't see me crying on the dance floor!
25:50Crying! Crying! Crying!
25:54You won't see me crying on the dance floor!
25:57I used to be someone that I'm not, today.
26:00I'd sit inside my room and hide, way, too much inside my head.
26:05Sometimes I wish that I was dead, but now diagnosed, I'm here to stay!
26:11Nothing's gon' pull me down tonight, no way, it won't, that's right.
26:17Here we go again!
26:20Hey!
26:21You won't see me crying on the dance floor!
26:25Not a single chance!
26:27Not a single chance!
26:28Baby, crying isn't what I came for!
26:31It's the only that ain't made no more!
26:35You won't see me crying on the dance floor!
26:38Crying! Crying!

26:46Crying!
26:47Crying!
26:48Crying!
26:49Crying!
26:49You won't see me crying on the dance floor!
26:53Yay!
26:55Hey!
26:56Fuck yeah!
26:59I'll tell you what I want.
27:01Category is finale eleganza extravaganza.
27:05Up first, floor.
27:06So on the runway, I'm representing my Guatemalan national bird.
27:13The name is El Quetzal!
27:16I've heard of a mohawk, but I don't think you're meant to use the whole hawk.
27:20I'm happy, I'm smiling, I'm so proud of myself.
27:25Now I've been told that floor knows a cockatoo.
27:28Yeah!
27:29I am taking my country and New Zealand with this outfit.
27:34Glamour and fashion is getting into it.
27:37It's mine.
27:38It's mine.
27:39It's yours.
27:40This is me.
27:41This is us.
27:43This is all of us.
27:45Gabriella Labucci!
27:47Gabriella Labucci!
27:50Oh, look at her!
27:52Oh, glam-a-rama!
27:54On the runway for this finale, I'm giving you Emerald City realness.
27:58Because I am the finest that Oz has to offer.
28:02Leprechaun?
28:03I don't remember eating leprechaun.
28:04The reason that I've given you nothing but green is because green in the pride flag symbolises growth.
28:10I'm giving you a little bit of a sequin high slit thigh moment.
28:13The make-up is green, the hair is green, everything's green.
28:16The only thing that's missing from this outfit is a crown and sceptre.
28:20And $50,000.
28:22Hey, it's Gabriella Labucci!
28:25Up next, Isis Avis Loren.
28:29She's giving me a little Hollywood, if you know what I'm saying.
28:33I look fucking stunning.
28:35I was going to make a different dress for the finale, but I wanted to really show a simple silhouette
28:40that hit beautifully and showed my body off, my curves and my swerves.
28:44A little bit of clavicle too, you never go wrong with a bit of clavicle.
28:47So the fanciest fisting gloves I've ever seen!
28:51I really wanted to be a goddess and something worthy of a couture house.
28:57The train is definitely still running.
28:59Yes, indeed.
29:01Something that could stand the test of time.
29:06Kia ora, Queen!
29:07Kia ora!
29:09Ozzy, ozzy, ozzy!
29:10Oi, oi, oi!
29:13Now it's time for your final judges critique.
29:16First up, Floor.
29:19This look, I think, really just represents all of who Floor is.
29:24Costume mixed into beautiful fashion, and we love culture on this runway.
29:31In the performance, I think you did struggle with the timing.
29:35Did you Floor a little tiny bit, a little couple of tiny bits of movement?
29:39Absolutely!
29:39But you did what you have done this entire competition.
29:42That thing that we love about you, Floor, which is your charisma.
29:45You always put a smile on our faces.
29:49You are a one-of-a-kind queen representing Australasia and Guatemala.
29:54You've done it with grace, style, and a lot of laughs.
30:00So, how would you sum up your journey in this competition?
30:04What was your favorite high?
30:06The brunch, and I made you all laugh.
30:09I just want to say thank you for the opportunity that you guys give me.
30:12I will be always grateful with all of you.
30:18Gabriella Labucci.
30:20I didn't expect to see you here in the final, at the very beginning.
30:24I saw you and I was like, okay, she's cute.
30:27She needs work.
30:28And work is what you've done.
30:31We'll talk about the green on another day.
30:33But you have fought your way to the top three.
30:37You're always now showing us vulnerability while not losing who you are.
30:42And we know they told you to go deep with the lyrics.
30:45Yeah.
30:45And you did.
30:46And we didn't expect, you know.
30:48The word dead.
30:49Right.
30:49Sorry.
30:50But no, no.
30:51Because you're showing us what comes with perseverance.
30:55And it made us so much happier that you're not just here, but you're like here.
31:01You came out here and you served a straight on glamour runway.
31:07I wanted range from you and that's what you've given me.
31:10I'm so proud of you.
31:12Michelle mentioned that she was surprised that you were here at this point in the competition.
31:17Are you surprised?
31:19No.
31:21I deserve to be here.
31:23Green in the pride flag represents growth.
31:26I think it is ridiculously fitting that that's what I picked initially and then look at me now.
31:34Isis Avis Lorenz.
31:35Isis, you're one who I did expect to see here from the beginning.
31:40But when such strong showings happen early on, it's always like, but can they sustain?
31:49And you did.
31:50And tonight your performance was right up there with the rest of what I expect from Isis Avis Lorenz.
31:56That outfit was gorgeous.
31:57Did you make that one?
31:58You clearly have this raw talent.
32:01Now, tell me about the inspiration.
32:03This outfit was just inspired by me being pared back and allowing your soul to thrive and be glorious.
32:13You know, this dress would be a knockout at the Oscars amongst the greatest designers in the world.
32:20It is exquisite.
32:25Queens.
32:25Our viewers come to Drag Race to find light, love and laughter.
32:32With that in mind.
32:34Floor.
32:35If you could travel back in time, what words of wisdom would you have for little Pedro?
32:46There's a lot, a lot of things that is going to happen to you.
32:50Be strong, bring the smiles to everyone and make your mother proud.
32:58Gabriela Labucci.
33:00What words of wisdom do you have for little Cameron?
33:05There's nothing wrong with who you are.
33:07There's nothing wrong with being gay.
33:09You're going to hate your life for a very long time.
33:13But you're going to break free of that prison.
33:16And end up a fucking superstar.
33:19Don't start smoking.
33:22Take a fucking sewing lesson.
33:27Isis Avis Loren.
33:28Little Michael.
33:31Hello little one.
33:34There's so many people who love you.
33:36So make sure you love yourself.
33:39You may not have a superhero now, but you've become the superhero that you need.
33:43And everyone else you know needs.
33:47I love you.
33:56One final question.
33:59Why does the world need drag now more than ever before?
34:04The world is full of hate, sadness, problems.
34:10But the world has as well happiness, smiles and love.
34:13And the world needs us to keep bringing the light.
34:19Drag gives you the freedom to express yourself wholeheartedly, without limits or boundaries.
34:25Drag sets you free.
34:27And we all want to be free.
34:29Drag is such a powerful art form that allows each individual to be whoever they want to be.
34:37Your drag is your empowerment.
34:39Your drag is your message to the world.
34:42Drag is one of the highest expressions of self.
34:44And that's what the world needs.
34:46The love of the self.
34:49Thank you, Queens.
34:50I think we've heard enough.
34:51While you untuck in the workroom, the judges and I will deliberate.
34:56You may leave the stage.
35:00Oh.
35:01My.
35:02God.
35:03That was an emotional one, girl.
35:05Absolutely.
35:06But you know what?
35:06I'm so proud of each of us for just bearing it all and laying it out on the table.
35:12Oh, sorry.
35:13Sabotage.
35:14I think I have a really good chance of winning this crown.
35:16I don't want to toot my own horn, but like I know you've had wins.
35:20Like I was really vibing with what they were saying and I feel like I'm in with a good fucking
35:23chance of taking this crown.
35:24Yeah, I think you are too.
35:25Gabs has gotten all these wonderful praises because she has grown this competition so much.
35:31I get some praises, but I've been hitting that mark for at least three weeks now.
35:37It makes me question whether I've done enough.
35:39Before, your personality, Ru, adores and the joy you bring to the world is incomparable.
35:49Like there's nothing like it.
35:51Our drag is so different and they like us because we bring to the table something different.
35:57Yeah.
35:57They love my performance.
35:59They love my outfit.
36:00But there was two, three steps that I missed and they noticed it.
36:06So the day is here.
36:10It's just a lot of emotions, you know.
36:14Oh, I need a moment.
36:17Obviously, I just heard a lot of, you know, the people are like, oh my God, you're so shady.
36:21Like, oh my God.
36:22Yeah.
36:22And I get that, you know, I'm just honest and like I'm just being me the whole time.
36:26Everything you say is with your tongue firmly planted in your cheek.
36:29We joke back, right back at you.
36:31Abso-fucking-lutely.
36:32We've fucking fought hard to be here.
36:34And we've shown all of ourselves.
36:36We've grown.
36:37We've given everything we have and we've shared our stories.
36:40And that is so important and so beautiful.
36:42We just fucking love each other.
36:43We're just so happy that this is the top three.
36:46I'm really glad that I get to do it with these girls.
36:48All of us deserve the crown and make the best fucking queen win.
36:54I will.
36:56Now, just between us kangaroos, what do you think?
37:00Let's start with floor.
37:01From the beginning, she had highs and lows.
37:04Our little floor.
37:05When she started this competition, she had a mask on her face.
37:08And we were like, huh, this is a costume, but you have a wig on.
37:11So, okay, it's drag.
37:13And as time went on, we started falling in love with her more and more and more.
37:18All the way up to the brunch where she really just broke through.
37:21Her performance, you could see, she did fumble with the choreography.
37:24She wasn't as tight as the other two, but I just absolutely adore that kid.
37:30You can't be sad and looking at floor at the same time.
37:33She's like a duck.
37:35You're so right.
37:36She got the memo.
37:38You know, life is short.
37:39It is to be lived and it is to be cherished and flourished as we witness this beautiful creature.
37:47All right, let's move on down to Gabriela Labucci.
37:49Now, what I love is tenacity.
37:52Every time we gave her something to work on, she has gone and done it.
37:57So this was her version of glamour tonight.
38:00I think she delivered the goods, albeit the green goods.
38:03There's a great skill, I think, in being able to take the amount of advice that we have piled on
38:07her throughout this competition and not take any of it personally.
38:10She's taken every piece of it while not losing who Gabriela Labucci is.
38:15Comedy is always going to be there.
38:17The challenge for her was to show us more range.
38:20And she did that.
38:21This is what this competition is all about.
38:24The evolution of a queen.
38:25And tonight, we witness the higher self of Gabriela Labucci.
38:29Yes!
38:31Isis, Avis, Loren.
38:32Michelle.
38:33Isis is one from the very beginning, if not the most polished, one of the most polished of the season.
38:38But she absolutely could have dropped the ball at any given time.
38:41Yeah.
38:42Every single runway, I looked forward to see what she was going to wear.
38:45The piece de resistance.
38:47She comes out tonight in that old Hollywood number.
38:50You asked her where she got her inspiration.
38:53She said herself, bullshit.
38:54That is from every old Hollywood movie in the sphere.
38:58Mm-hmm.
38:59And it was amazingly executed.
39:02Just being able to turn up look after look after look while all the while being so funny is really
39:08a skill to have.
39:10We've seen her on this runway week after week after week turn the looks and bring the talent, bring the
39:18beauty, and bring the kindness and joy.
39:21She has helped so many of the girls during the sewing challenges.
39:23An amazing queen.
39:26All right.
39:27Silence.
39:28I've made my decision.
39:30Bring back my girls.
39:35Welcome back, queens.
39:36Based on your performances tonight and all season long.
39:41I've made some decisions.
39:50Floor.
39:52I'm sorry, my dear.
39:57But this is not your time.
40:00Thank you for a truly amazing season.
40:04And I know you'll keep spreading the love wherever you go.
40:15Now, sashay away.
40:22It wasn't my turn.
40:25Sorry.
40:30I'm really grateful.
40:31Thank you very much.
40:33Love you.
40:34Love you.
40:35Love you.
40:36Mwah.
