00:06Oh my god, it's so empty.
00:09I know.
00:11Wow.
00:11We're down to the final four.
00:13You definitely feel the lack of other contestants in the room.
00:17Lick this box, bitch.
00:19How do you guys feel about me being in the bottom last night with Pandora?
00:22Did I deserve to go home?
00:23Off of just the lip sync, I thought they were gonna choose Pandora.
00:28But what was the reason behind that?
00:30My eyes were going to Pandora.
00:32I don't look at Pandora and see a star.
00:33I look at you and I see a star.
00:35I think her runway should have put on the bottom two a long time ago.
00:39She never like sparkled to me.
00:41Who cares who Raven thinks is a star?
00:42I sure don't.
00:43I'm sure she thinks that she's a star.
00:46And I sure don't.
00:48I mean, look it.
00:48This thing was packed full of shit and people all up on it.
00:51And now there's four of us here.
00:53I really miss my friends though.
00:54I would talk to my drag mother every day at like 10.
00:59Do you talk to your drag mother more than your real mother?
01:02I don't talk to my real mother at all.
01:03You don't?
01:04No girl.
01:05She abandoned me.
01:07My father died when I was 15.
01:08Six months later my mother found somebody else.
01:10And she left me to take care of my two younger sisters and to just grow up by myself.
01:14And I just stopped being a kid.
01:18I just want to thank my mother, Charisma, Geneva Jackson Taye.
01:21Ooh girl.
01:23You got she there.
01:25Hey dolls.
01:26If you still think Liza robbed Diana of the Oscar in 1972.
01:31If you look in the mirror every morning and cry out, you like me.
01:35You really like me.
01:36Then maybe.
01:38Just maybe.
01:39You could be America's next drag superstar.
01:45Hello, hello, hello.
01:47Good morning.
01:48Well, well, well.
01:49You're the fantastic final four.
01:52Now you know, the next drag superstar must possess a unique style.
01:57And she wouldn't be caught dead wearing the same dress as another diva.
02:00For today's mini challenge, you'll be given identical outfits and 30 minutes to style and accessorize them in a way
02:08to make them your own.
02:09After that, I'll return to decide which queen wore it best.
02:14No cutting or gluing allowed.
02:17Oh God.
02:18Ladies, make it fabulous and make it your own.
02:23I'll see you later.
02:2430 minutes.
02:27Work.
02:28Jabaha.
02:30Come on, Twyla.
02:31It's you and me.
02:33Are these dresses all the same size?
02:35I don't even think your tits can even fit in here.
02:42Oh my God.
02:43I feel like a cross-dresser.
02:45Where's this hair?
02:46I gotta put some lipstick on at least.
02:47I look over and I see Juju buffing makeup over her stubble.
02:52Are you guys laughing?
02:57Girl, why do we have on fucking wigs?
02:59And not a stitch of makeup?
03:01I got some makeup on, girl.
03:03Look at me.
03:04Ew.
03:04You better put lashes on, you dirty fart.
03:07I don't need no makeup.
03:08I got fish face.
03:10I'm daytime.
03:11I'm Ria.
03:11Yeah, girl.
03:12You look like trout.
03:13Okay.
03:15Hello, hello, hello.
03:19Did En Vogue get back together?
03:21Yeah.
03:21You girls work fast.
03:23Look at you.
03:24I can't believe you got up into full drags.
03:26Mama.
03:27And she's padded and everything.
03:29You've got the leggings on.
03:30Tell me about your decision to do leggings with it.
03:32You know what it was?
03:32I didn't have time to really hide the pad lines, and I wanted to kind of go a little bit
03:36more
03:36R&B with it.
03:37It does elongate you.
03:38Now, Raven, you chose all black accessories.
03:41You look like a spy.
03:42Are you a spy girl?
03:43I was just going for a little dark sophistication with a little hint of last year's Rihanna.
03:48And you went for scrunch boots.
03:49Yeah, well, they came all the way up, so I pushed them down.
03:52I've never been a fan of the scrunch boots unless a lady has legs as long as mine are,
03:56you know.
03:56Now, Tatiana, are those two holes in your hair?
03:58I have two holes, so I thought, why not match it up?
04:00Tell me about your silver shoes.
04:02Well, I didn't want to do a black shoe, and I thought, why not do a silver pump?
04:05Give a little bit of sparkle down south.
04:06I think that maybe Tatiana over-accessed her eyes.
04:11She looks like a 99-cent store mess.
04:13All right, and now, Miss Tyra, you made yourself a clutch.
04:16Yeah, I didn't have one.
04:18Uh-huh.
04:18And you decided to go the classy lady.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Lady Sue Lunch.
04:22Mm-hmm.
04:22From the funeral to the wake to the after party and then on to the club.
04:26And then to pick up the children and go home.
04:27And then pick up the children.
04:28It's a very elegant look that any lady at home watching would feel very comfortable
04:32in.
04:33All right, ladies.
04:34The queen who wore it best is Tyra.
04:39Tyra Sanchez, the other Tyra.
04:41Ladies, exciting news.
04:43For your main challenge, you've all been nominated for the first annual Diva Awards.
04:50Yes.
04:52Yes.
04:53Now, the Diva Awards are your chance to show some serious awards show realness.
04:59You'll need to pull together three different outfits for three different Diva Awards ceremonies.
05:05First up, the Teen Diva Awards, where you must dress as a hot teen queen, using clothes provided
05:13by the House of Infinite Radness.
05:16Then, it's the Diva DC Press Awards, where you'll be serving some executive realness, Washington
05:23DC style.
05:24And finally, the Diva Hollywood Extravaganza Awards, where you'll be expected to gag us
05:32with your glamour and eleganza.
05:34I'll be back later to see how your pre-show preparations are going.
05:38Gentlemen, start your engines and may the best woman win.
05:45Go.
05:48The first thing I saw was lime green fur, so I grabbed every piece of fur that I saw.
05:55It's nerve-wracking because you don't know what the others are going to pull out.
05:59Now, in this competition, it's getting to where they're looking for the best.
06:02You don't know what each person is going to do.
06:06Our challenge this week is to create three different looks at the Diva Awards.
06:10A hot teen look for the Teen Diva Awards, executive realness for the DC Diva Press Awards,
06:15and a glamorous red carpet look for the Diva Hollywood Extravaganza.
06:20I had something like this in high school, actually.
06:23Me too.
06:24I felt like the biggest faggot.
06:26Oh, you wore it as a boy?
06:27I didn't go to school as a girl, Tatiana.
06:30Okay.
06:31Tatiana's just stuck in that realm of I am a girl.
06:35I think, as a drag queen, you should culture yourself.
06:38Maybe I'll go all like Mary-Kate on everybody and just wear 30 things at once.
06:42You should be a chameleon.
06:45If I lose to you, I'll be fine.
06:48I want to win this challenge.
06:50Girl, I want to win a challenge.
06:52We have to be number one and number two.
06:54Them winning is not an option.
06:57I think that Juju and I will both help each other out as much as we can to make sure
07:00that we make it to the top.
07:01Is this Hollywood elegance?
07:02I think so.
07:04RuPaul keeps repeating.
07:05Charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
07:07I think I have that.
07:08I think Raven has that.
07:09I know the other girls carry some of those traits, but I don't think they have the full package.
07:13I don't care.
07:17DJ, love the way I lose my inability.
07:22Ah!
07:24Keep on singing, girl.
07:26I'm sorry.
07:27No, do it.
07:28You have a beautiful voice.
07:30God gave you a gift, so use it.
07:34Over there trying to read.
07:37What do you feel about missing Jeremiah's first day?
07:40I'm sad that I'm going to miss it.
07:43I'm praying that his mom takes pictures.
07:46My son is starting preschool today, and I'm missing out on his first day of school.
07:52So I'm really going to like, I'm like sad about it.
07:55It's been nine weeks since I've seen my son and it's just driving me crazy.
07:58I miss Jeremiah so much, but I know that me being here and getting a chance to give him a
08:04better life is all worth it.
08:06Yes, you better do it, Tyra.
08:08Mm-hmm.
08:12I sat and thought for majority of the morning, thinking of the silhouette I wanted to work with,
08:17how I was going to utilize the fabric that I ended up with.
08:24You never waste your time thinking.
08:26Do I have feathers all over my face?
08:28Because they're all over the floor.
08:29I can feel it.
08:30Sorry, but I want to be fabulous.
08:32I just see fuzz flying all over the fucking room.
08:35And I'm like, what the fuck is this?
08:38Tyra looks like she's skinned all of the Muppets and is making a gown out of fur.
08:46I don't know what the deal with her is.
08:48I don't know if she's just playing a game.
08:49Maybe she's just making this just to kind of throw us off.
08:52Fabulous, darlings, fabulous.
08:56I've never made a gown like that before.
09:00It's going to have more of a complicated, more expensive look.
09:03But it's really only like three pieces of fabric and some hot glue.
09:09Hello, divas.
09:10Hello.
09:10Hi.
09:11Oh, wow, look at this.
09:13You're busy at work here.
09:15You better work.
09:16Yes, mama.
09:18Hey, Tyra.
09:19Hey, Rune.
09:19Look at you down there.
09:20Now, which one of the award shows is that for?
09:23I look at evening gowns.
09:24I want to be in a gown, but I want to stand out.
09:26Do you feel that you're the one to beat?
09:27Do you feel that confident?
09:28I do feel that confident.
09:30I've been challenging myself and making myself better.
09:32Now, I've got to mention this.
09:33Now, you're here and the fur is flying around and it's itching your face.
09:37Now, that may be a red flag for how it will perform on the red carpet.
09:43You see what I'm saying?
09:43Uh-huh.
09:44You might need to vacuum it before you wear it.
09:47Thank you, Tyra.
09:48Are you ready for the biggest night of your psychological life?
09:51It is pretty psychological.
09:53It's very psychological.
09:54So now, I see three different ladies over there.
09:56I'm debating on my executive.
09:59Uh-huh.
09:59Most likely, I'm going to be going with this one.
10:01Now, what says DC Diplomat Press Awards to you?
10:04To me, it just kind of reminds me of something that Sarah Palin would wear.
10:08Yeah.
10:08Because Sarah Palin is your idol and you...
10:09Oh, yes. I love her.
10:11Really?
10:12Please.
10:14Everything that you've learned about drag, about yourself, up until this moment, you have
10:18to put into this challenge.
10:20This is the big one.
10:21You've got to bring it.
10:24Hey, Jujubee.
10:25Hi, Mama.
10:26Wow.
10:26What do you got going on here?
10:28Is this for your Hollywood eleganza?
10:30Yes.
10:31It still seems a little understated here.
10:33What are you planning to do to juju it up?
10:36You just said it.
10:37I'm just going to juju it up.
10:38Uh-huh.
10:39Last week, you did wind up in the bottom, too.
10:42And the stakes are oh so high.
10:43I know.
10:44Well, listen.
10:45You keep on working it, Mama.
10:47Stay down.
10:48I will.
10:48Stay down.
10:49Stay hood.
10:49Stay here.
10:50Stay here.
10:51That's right.
10:51All right.
10:53Hey, Tatiana.
10:54Hello.
10:55I see you over here pondering your outfits here.
10:57Yes.
10:57What are we looking at?
10:58This is your teen outfit.
11:00No.
11:00What is this?
11:01That is for the Hollywood red carpet.
11:04Extravaganza.
11:05I'm just a little worried about the cha-cha of this here.
11:09What do you think Santino will say about this?
11:11I've never done anything like that before.
11:14That's not an excuse, is it?
11:16What?
11:17Just because you haven't done it, doesn't even...
11:18No, they haven't seen it, so they haven't commented on anything.
11:20Look, Tatiana, we're at that place.
11:22You've got to bring it.
11:23You're under double scrutiny, triple scrutiny.
11:26Yeah.
11:26Because you have three different looks and three different opportunities to be criticized.
11:30See, I think of it as the positive.
11:32You have three different chances to wow the judges, rather than just one.
11:35Well, listen, I don't want to throw you off your game, but I'm telling you, these bitches
11:39are coming for you.
11:39Yeah.
11:40And if you were ever going to pull something out of your ass, now would be the time to
11:43do it.
11:44Thank you, Tatiana.
11:45Ladies, gather round.
11:49Tomorrow, at the Diva Awards, our extra special guest judges will be Tony Award winner, Marissa
11:58Jarrett Winokur from Hairspray.
12:01That's right.
12:02And Oscar winner, Tatum O'Neill.
12:07Yes, we have people who have snatched trophies, hunty.
12:11We're having a Tony Award winner and an Oscar winner sitting there judging us on how we
12:15maintain ourselves at an award ceremony.
12:18It's no joke.
12:19Now, listen, I know you have a lot on your plate, but there's just one more little twist,
12:26Tina Darling.
12:28Now, before you hit the award show circuit, the four of you will need to perform a Diva
12:34Awards opening number.
12:36The song and outfits have been chosen, but you need to work together on the choreography.
12:42Now, Tyra, because you won the mini challenge, I'm leaving you in charge of the opening number.
12:48I'm in charge of the girls.
12:50You're in charge of the opening number.
12:51Hi, my mark.
12:52Working in a group wouldn't be my first choice, but I'm going to work hard because there's
12:56no way in hell that I'm going to let someone else fail and put me in the bottom two.
13:01Now, tomorrow on the main stage, I expect you girls to be dripping with charisma, uniqueness,
13:07nerve, and talent.
13:10And finally, I'd like to thank all the members of the Academy, my personal Tucker, and last
13:17but not least, to my four little darling Divas.
13:20I just want to say, don't fuck it up.
13:23I promised myself I wouldn't cry.
13:26Goodbye.
13:27Good luck.
13:28Bye, Ru.
13:28And keep it real.
13:31What song is it?
13:32I don't know.
13:33The last time Tyra had to work in a group, she wanted to leave her group.
13:37It's a recipe for disaster.
13:42I thought it was my name for a minute.
13:44The four of us have to do a number for the opening of the Diva Awards.
13:49Am I happy about it?
13:50No.
13:51Because it takes time away from me getting my shit together.
13:54So we're going to walk out to the intro and stand by our letter like you are?
14:01Do you want us to all have the same pose?
14:03Or do you want us to all have different poses but we just don't break those poses until it gets
14:07to our line?
14:08Um, so we look at Tyra and we're trying to figure out what direction is for this.
14:13And she's not really giving anything.
14:14And then she does and we're like, okay.
14:17We walk out.
14:18When does this happen?
14:20This is the beginning.
14:21When what happened?
14:21Right at the beginning?
14:22This is the end.
14:23Oh, this is the end.
14:24I think it showed that Tyra isn't the best with choreography because it wasn't choreography.
14:29It was just kind of, we're going to pose and then we're going to spin and then we're going to
14:34pose.
14:35And then we're going to stack letters and pose.
14:37And it was very posey.
14:39Who's singing this part?
14:40We'll figure it out later.
14:41I'm going with the attitude.
14:42I guess I'll just stay here.
14:45Our rehearsal was a hot mess.
14:47And so I'm really hoping that we can pull this off tomorrow.
15:01You are so shitty.
15:02Bitch, please.
15:03Is everybody confident with the things that they have?
15:05Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night though.
15:07I was sitting there thinking, what the hell.
15:09I wasn't happy with my teen dream, whatever.
15:13I hope this shirt fits me.
15:17I'm so scared about this dress.
15:19I wanted to make a full gown, completely made out of fur.
15:22But I realized I don't like it.
15:24So now I have to change my entire plans and come up with a new look.
15:30So today determines the top three and I'm going to be there.
15:35I definitely think that I deserve to be there.
15:36I think I work very, very hard.
15:38I know I deserve to.
15:39I've worked really hard and I've grown a lot since I've been here.
15:41And I think that they know it too.
15:45You know, I may have had to lip sync for my life.
15:47But it got to the point where the challenges got harder and I won two of them.
15:51Y'all want two.
15:52You want two.
15:53You got one.
15:54And I have zero.
15:54I do not want to be in the bottom two again.
15:57You know, this is going to be a third time if I do.
15:59And last I remember Sahara did it three times and she went home.
16:02Now, who do you think is going to be in the top three?
16:05Me.
16:06Me.
16:07Name all three people.
16:08Why don't you start that?
16:09Okay, I think it's going to be me, you and Tyra.
16:12Tyra has shown consistency.
16:13You have brought a sense of energy.
16:16I have given them what they are looking for.
16:18And it seems like Tatiana hasn't done what they want from her yet.
16:23So Tatiana, who do you think is in the top three?
16:25I hope it's me.
16:27And that's really all I have to say on the matter.
16:30Tyra.
16:31I would have to agree with you.
16:33But things could change if she pulls it together today.
16:36I think she would have to really wow the judges.
16:40Juju B.
16:41You know, I hate to be like this, but Tatiana, don't hate me.
16:45But I have to agree with you, Raven.
16:48Don't be mad at me, girl.
16:50I've known for a while that all the girls don't think I'm competition.
16:53But a lot of those girls who thought I was in competition have gone home.
16:57In my head I'm just like, think that, feel that, own it.
17:01Whatever.
17:01You're not going to break my spirit.
17:03You know I only bring shit up that I absolutely have to.
17:07You're such a bitch, I love it.
17:40Hey, judges.
17:42Santino Rice.
17:43Why you old geezer.
17:46Merle.
17:47Hi, honey.
17:48Honey, I don't have to tell you to gather you rosebuds while you may tonight.
17:53Marissa!
17:54Hello!
17:55Your hair is amazing.
17:57Oh, you know, I just washed it.
17:59I couldn't do a thing with it.
18:01Tatum O'Neal is here.
18:02So happy to have you.
18:04Are you ready to see my girl?
18:06Hell, yeah.
18:07Excellent.
18:07This week, our ladies were challenged
18:10to pull off three award-winning looks.
18:13Now, to kick things off, our ladies have prepared
18:15a show-stopping opening number.
18:18Gentlemen, start your engines.
18:20And may the best woman win.
18:29D is for the discipline to not give a damn.
18:32I is what it's all about wherever I am.
18:35V is for a vision that's extraordinary.
18:38A is for the attitude that's necessary.
18:40The show is going great.
18:42And then I forget one of the steps.
18:44The Diva Awards.
18:45Jujubee was off.
18:47Every diva will battle it out tonight.
18:49So cover your shins.
18:51Cause only one diva win.
18:52You sure to see a fight.
18:55The Diva Awards.
18:57The Diva Awards.
18:59The Diva Awards.
19:01The Diva Awards.
19:03The Diva Awards.
19:05The Diva Awards.
19:08The Diva Awards.
19:15The Diva Awards.
19:23The Diva Awards.
19:27The Diva Awards.
19:29The Diva Awards.
19:48Yes.
19:50Juju B.
19:51She's a meme.
19:52Oh, is this the BET Teen Awards?
19:54She must be from Baldwin Hills.
19:56I'm so comfortable with this hip-hop look right now.
19:58I am channeling Miss Mary J. Blige.
20:00Yeah, MJB, y'all.
20:02Ooh.
20:03Is that Solange Knowles?
20:06No, honey, it is Tyra.
20:08I felt as if I had turned 16 all over again.
20:11Oh, my God, Tyra, you were supposed to text me.
20:14Breaking news.
20:15Let's go live to the DC Diva Press Awards.
20:22Sarah Palin.
20:24She can see Russia from her house.
20:26I'm feeling super confident.
20:27It's a look that I've never tried before,
20:29but I still felt sexy.
20:31Oh, she's got a call.
20:32Hello?
20:33Rush Limbaugh?
20:34Why, you fat fuck.
20:38Oh, Leslie Stahl, yes, right?
20:42Well, she's giving us Speaker of the House.
20:44I'm just going to give power.
20:45I'm getting an award for taking care of business.
20:48Meet you at the Watergate for lunch.
20:51Juju Bee.
20:52Is she a lawyer?
20:53I think she's getting a call from the husband.
20:54Yes.
20:55He's saying, stop buying all that Escada.
20:57It's costing me too much money.
20:58I'm kind of channeling a fierce executive.
21:00She refuses to wear skirts.
21:02She wears the pants in the family.
21:03She's very Nancy Pelosi.
21:04But see, she can move her forehead.
21:07And her ass.
21:08Mary J. Pelosi.
21:12Tyra Sanchez.
21:13Eat your heart out, Michelle Obama.
21:16The judges have never seen me in pants,
21:18and so it's giving them a different look for me.
21:20It's still Tyra, nice and elegant,
21:22but totally different look.
21:23Yes, she can.
21:25I'm James St. James, author, nightlife dinosaur,
21:28and red carpet perennial here at the Diva Awards.
21:36Here's a young starlet, Tatiana.
21:38Come here, come here.
21:39Now tell me what it is that you're wearing.
21:40I wanted to show some leg,
21:41but I wanted to still be cute and not too, too much.
21:45Gorgeous.
21:45Do you think she's wearing panties?
21:47No.
21:48No Hollywood starlet does.
21:51Is that Cher?
21:52Oh my God, that is Raven.
21:54You are the spitting image of Angelica Houston.
21:57What is it you're wearing?
21:58Give us the ensemble.
21:59The gown is by Vivian Wallace.
22:01I lost a few beads,
22:03but hopefully they'll end up on the runway
22:04and a couple of the girls will fall on them.
22:06That beading is gorgeous.
22:07I want that outfit.
22:09It's very Angelina Jolie, right?
22:11Very, without the children.
22:11Yes, without the kids or the Mickey D's.
22:14What Bollywood star is this?
22:17Juju Bee.
22:17I feel wonderful, fabulous, gorgeous, beautiful.
22:20Keep it coming, keep it coming.
22:22You look gorgeous.
22:23You know that.
22:24Oh, she's not just dressed for the red carpet.
22:27She's wearing it.
22:29Who's it?
22:30Is that Beyonce?
22:30No.
22:31Oh my goodness, it's Tyra.
22:33My dear, how are you feeling tonight?
22:34Are you having a good time?
22:36I'm feeling fabulous.
22:37Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?
22:38To my fans, just keep dreaming, remember?
22:41If you can't love yourself,
22:42how in the hell are you gonna love anybody else?
22:45Tyra.
22:46It's kind of Rita Hayworth.
22:47It's very Rita Hayworth.
22:49Gilda.
22:50Yes, Gilda.
22:51Welcome ladies.
22:52An acceptance speech is an essential part of any award show.
22:57And now, I want each of you to share yours with the judges.
23:02The Diva of the Year award goes to...
23:08Tatiana.
23:10First off, thank you.
23:12I want to start by thanking my mother.
23:15Without her, I wouldn't be here today.
23:17And without her jeans, I might not have been here today.
23:20I did me to the fullest.
23:22And that is why I'm standing here today accepting this award.
23:26Thank you, Tatiana.
23:30The Diva of the Year award goes to...
23:32Raven.
23:41Thank you so much.
23:43I, first of all, have to thank God for without him, I would not be here.
23:49I also have to thank RuPaul for putting a fire under my butt.
23:53And I also have to thank all of my fans who have gotten me to where I am today.
23:59Thank you, Raven.
24:02The Diva of the Year award goes to...
24:07Juju Bee.
24:09Thank you so much.
24:11First and foremost, I'd like to thank my creator, King Jesus and God himself.
24:15I'd like to thank my father for just believing in me and taking his time to teach me.
24:20Mother, I know you're out there and I know you're watching.
24:22It's okay.
24:23One day we'll be back together again.
24:25This is my Diva moment.
24:27And I am so glad to share this moment with you.
24:30Thank you so much.
24:35The Diva of the Year award goes to...
24:41Tyra Sanchez.
24:43Wow.
24:44I didn't even know I was nominated.
24:47First and foremost, I have to dedicate my award to my son.
24:52It's you who makes me smile.
24:53It's you who keeps me going.
24:54It's you who makes me motivated.
24:56And I just want him to know that if he believes, all dreams will come true.
25:01I promised myself I wouldn't cry.
25:08All right, now it's time for the judge's critique.
25:10Tatiana, I want to start with you.
25:12Hello.
25:12Did you intentionally do Sarah Palin?
25:14You know, I wasn't intentionally going for that, but I do love her hair.
25:18Interestingly enough, I think the sexiest we've seen you look was doing the executive chic in DC.
25:22The fact that you're hiding it a little made you look more beautiful.
25:25I'm not in love with the ruffle.
25:27It's a little too big on top.
25:29It's not coming off as like a real garment for me.
25:31The red carpet.
25:32Now that's where you got me.
25:33And unfortunately, James St. James, he's been holding a mic a long time.
25:36Or we don't know what he's been holding.
25:39Among other things.
25:40But he really got into that mic and he was like, so what do you think?
25:43And you were like.
25:44It did seem like you were soft-spoken and was lacking confidence.
25:49Hi, Raven.
25:50Hi.
25:51I have to say, I really do love this dress.
25:53It's actually sheer.
25:54The beads cover your knotty parts.
25:56When you wear it, you're of course supposed to be a real woman.
26:00Oh, you mean for a biological woman.
26:02A biological woman.
26:03I'm a psychological woman.
26:05Oh, okay.
26:07You were giving me the first woman four-star general.
26:10It was very severe and believable and I love that.
26:14I love that.
26:14A four-star general with a pearl necklace.
26:16That's hot.
26:18Your backstage was, I think, the best out of the girls for me.
26:22You were accessible.
26:23You were funny.
26:25There are no small people.
26:26Just big bitches.
26:28Funny as that was, then you turned around and gave an acceptance speech that was completely from the heart.
26:31So we got to see all the different spectrum of you, which we saw in all the outfits too.
26:38Juju B.
26:40Hi.
26:41Your Diva Awards presentation.
26:44You missed a few steps.
26:45Of course.
26:46You know, I have two left feet.
26:48I was like, oh no, she's messing up.
26:49But then you like camped it up so much that then I kind of couldn't keep my eyes off of
26:52you.
26:53You really recovered well.
26:54And then this look, I did think, oh, this is a costume.
26:57This isn't what someone would really wear to an awards ceremony.
27:00I thought what Juju brought tonight was nerve.
27:03I thought it was very nervy to go with a hip-hop urban look when it's not what you would
27:08expect.
27:08It was really the only true surprise that we saw.
27:11Then we've got your acceptance speech.
27:14Mother, I know you're out there and I know you're watching.
27:16It's okay.
27:17One day we'll be back together again.
27:19We all know I don't have a relationship with my mother, but she put me here on earth, so I
27:23have to thank her.
27:23I can relate.
27:24My dad wasn't there for my winning the Academy Award, but he was busy and stuff.
27:30So it's not like I hold it against him.
27:32But you know, I was eight years old, so you'd want someone there.
27:35So I get it.
27:36You know what I mean?
27:37But I love that you had the presence of mind to say that.
27:40Yes.
27:42Hi, Tyra.
27:43Hi.
27:44I've got to tell you, the fact that you've been here all these weeks and you were able
27:49to save this dress until now, I just want to give you a standing ovation for that alone.
27:56Were there any other times when you thought, okay, I'm going to wear the ice green today?
28:00Every time I would get ready for a challenge, I would see it, and I'm thinking it's not time.
28:05When it's time, it'll call my name.
28:08And you're just so impressive this week.
28:11I love that plum cocktail dress.
28:13I noticed that you covered the shoes.
28:15You know, you just know how to wear clothes.
28:17That was my favorite teen outfit.
28:19That dress was exactly right.
28:21And then the hair was so very editorial.
28:24Your acceptance speech, it was, I think, my favorite tonight.
28:27I have seen a lot of growth in your stage presence.
28:30Your confidence, your calmness, the way you spoke was really there.
28:35Well, thank you, ladies.
28:36While you enjoy an absolute cocktail in the Interior Illusions Lounge, the judges and I will deliberate.
28:44You may leave the stage.
28:46All right, here comes the hard part.
28:48Let's start with Tatiana.
28:51There's something about Tatiana that feels unfinished, like her dress.
28:56Here's the thing, when you've got a body like Tatiana, you don't have to do much.
29:00If you're asked to bring red carpet realness, don't come in something that's a little too slutty, a little too
29:07obvious, and homemade.
29:09But there was a positive about her Washington, D.C. look.
29:12I thought that was her best look, because she wasn't leaning on her looks.
29:15She was bringing something else to the table, some thought and some fun.
29:18I think she has a spark.
29:19Even her just standing there smiling.
29:20Gorgeous.
29:20Beautiful.
29:20Like, my eyes are drawn to her.
29:22Yes.
29:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:23Like, there's no question why she made it this far.
29:24She's gorgeous.
29:25Yes, she is gorgeous.
29:26But, you've got people who are dropping into character, who are like, you know, have got
29:30some like, really good off-the-cuff repartee, so it isn't just about a beautiful face.
29:35The real question is, does Tatiana have what it takes to be America's next drag superstar?
29:40She's got the beauty.
29:41She's got the body.
29:42I don't believe she has the personality or the taste level or the sassy humor.
29:46Let's go to Jujubee.
29:48You know, Jujubee has this intellect about her that feels beyond any of the girls in the room.
29:55But she sometimes relies on this sort of, I perform for you type of character that is sort of one
30:01dimensional.
30:01No, I totally disagree.
30:03I think she's an actress.
30:04She's got some spunk about her.
30:05Her mind is, I think she made a poor choice in her last dress.
30:08I don't know if that's worth being sent home for.
30:11Raven.
30:11I just was drawn to her just because she seemed like somebody who's worked very hard, who sort of gets
30:17it, who's funny.
30:18Well, I've gotten to be a bigger fan of Raven's as the show's gone on.
30:21Every week, the onion peels back a little more.
30:23Yeah.
30:23And what you see gets more interesting.
30:26Yeah.
30:26It's so tough because, I mean, the same thing that I love about Raven is the thing that could be
30:30her weakness.
30:31And it's that hard edge.
30:32All right.
30:33Now, Tyra.
30:34I loved her from the minute that she walked on.
30:36She just got me, man.
30:38Like, I just really looked at her and I was like, star, winner.
30:41She does need to work on her voice.
30:42She's gotten better.
30:43And the speech she gave tonight was funnier and softer than anything else she's delivered.
30:48That's true.
30:48I've never changed my voice.
30:49I think people hear me differently when I'm in drag, but I've never changed my voice.
30:53Never have.
30:53But you have a very, you know, your voice matches you.
30:57Yeah.
30:57Yeah.
30:58He's 21.
30:58I couldn't imagine going through this at 21 and with a son to say, I'm going to do this.
31:03I think that shows more maturity than anybody else on that stage.
31:07Being able to say, I have a child.
31:09I'm bringing him into this amazing world and showing him you can really do.
31:12This is truly proving you can do whatever you want.
31:14All right.
31:15Silence.
31:16I have made my decision.
31:20Bring back my girls.
31:25Welcome back, ladies.
31:27Now, awards are a funny thing.
31:29We lie and say it's an honor just to be nominated.
31:33But deep down, we all want to snatch that trophy.
31:37And yet, what matters in this world is charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
31:44Based on that criteria, I've made some decisions.
31:51Raven, you're safe.
31:54You may leave the stage.
31:58I'm top three.
31:59I'm excited, but I sure won.
32:03The winner of this week's challenge is Tyra Sanchez.
32:11Congratulations.
32:13You have won a feature photo spread in Paper Magazine.
32:16You may leave the stage.
32:18I'm not satisfied with being in the top three.
32:21My goal is to win.
32:25Jujubee, Tatiana, the two of you are up for elimination.
32:29Once again, I'm in the bottom two.
32:31I'm so disappointed.
32:33When I hear that I'm in the bottom two, I'm not surprised.
32:36I'm really just trying to pull this out.
32:38Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
32:45The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
32:53Good luck and don't fuck it up.
33:24I definitely had issues with the lyric.
33:27The way Aretha Franklin sings that song is so difficult to lip sync to.
33:31Yeah, I'm giving it from something he can feel.
33:36Yes, I am, baby.
33:39To let you know this is my love to read.
33:43This is my love to read.
33:46So much love for us to see.
33:50So much hope for material things.
33:54Are they only in my dreams?
33:56Oh, oh, oh!
33:59I'm giving it from something he can feel.
34:01Oh!
34:02Oh!
34:04Oh!
34:04Oh!
34:07Oh!
34:07Oh!
34:07Oh!
34:09Oh!
34:10Oh!
34:18Ladies, I've made my decision.
34:28Jujubee, shantay you stay.
34:34I am in the final three.
34:35Girl, I was just like this, like, gay boy with a dream.
34:39You know?
34:41Tatiana, you made this competition fun and fresh and young.
34:48And we all owe you a debt of gratitude.
34:53For that, I have just two words.
35:04Now, sashay away.
35:07Bye!
35:10Look at my skirt.
35:11It's short as hell.
35:14Bye!
35:16You know, to the people who said that I wasn't drag enough,
35:20just because I have natural beauty doesn't mean I'm not a drag queen.
35:22I didn't have to put on pounds of makeup to be pretty.
35:26I think that bothered some people here, but that's their issue.
35:29I know what I've got.
35:30I know that I am a drag queen, one of the top drag queens.
35:34Thank you very much.
35:35And then, there were three.
35:39We are fast approaching the finish line of RuPaul's Drag Race.
35:45Tyra, Jujubee, Raven.
35:48Next week, one of you will be crowned the next drag superstar.
35:53Until then, remember, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
35:59Can I get an amen in here?
36:01Amen!
36:02All right.
36:02Now, let the music play.
