08:26Hey.
08:28How are we going to do that?
08:29Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
08:32Our first finalist is a little big country and a whole lotta stupid.
08:38It's Darlene Mitchell!
08:44I'm Darlene Mitchell, and I am the country-cunty camp queen of season 18.
08:48She's corny!
08:50My journey has been a wild one.
08:54Highs, lows, up, down, all-around, tears, laughs.
08:57We have done it all.
08:59Being a bedroom queen, I had a little bit of trouble being confident in my voice.
09:03Yo, we gotta get you back in the bars.
09:04I didn't realize how much I missed and needed.
09:07The queer joy that all of these girls have given me.
09:10It took a while for me to give myself permission that I deserve my dream to.
09:15It's so fun to watch someone who's having fun.
09:17They really like me.
09:19A lot of my looks lean into the fun.
09:22That's the whole point of drag.
09:23Move, bitch!
09:24I have a flavor that's a little bit different than the rest of the girls.
09:27I dislike those shoes.
09:29But it doesn't hinder me from being who I am in any way.
09:33If anything, it makes me want to go harder.
09:35Why you mad?
09:37Yeah!
09:39Banana!
09:40Banana!
09:41I was starting to catch on that Rue was liking my flavor.
09:44You're so stupid.
09:46I'm like, you have what it takes to place in the top, now you gotta start winning.
09:51Condragulations, condragulations.
09:52You're the winner of this week's challenge.
09:55I have made it to the end without ever having to lip sync.
09:59My time in this competition has really changed my life.
10:02We see you get it and live in your skin.
10:05And it is what this life is all about.
10:08I have wanted this since I first started drag and I'm going for it full throttle.
10:15The time has come.
10:16The engines are revving.
10:17I am doing anything necessary to make sure that I am standing there with that crown on my head.
10:25First up, performing her original song, Hookin' With Gas, is Darlene Mitchell.
10:30Now I'm cookin' with gas, little bit of sass.
10:35If you don't like it, then kiss mine.
10:39Come on, man!
10:42Come on, man!
10:43Come on, man!
10:44Come on!
10:45My wigs won't even fit in this little 4x4.
10:49But I don't give a lick, you got a lot of shit when you're dressin' like a whore.
10:53Now I'm just speedin' up.
10:55I ain't tappin' on the brakes.
10:57Let me rearrange this meaty tuck, cause damn, this car shakes.
11:02Turn it on.
11:04Media!
11:06Here we go!
11:09Now I'm cookin' with gas, little bit of sass.
11:12If you don't like it, then kiss my ass.
11:14Runs a steal, keepin' it real.
11:16Two high heels, and I'm hard at last.
11:18Copy dreams, draw the seams, just cut jeans, and I got no class.
11:23Get out the way, bitch, I'm about to pass.
11:25Cause I'm cookin' with gas.
11:28What's he doing?
11:29Pickin' it up with the rodeo.
11:31Cookin' with gas.
11:32Round to the stove, you can't slow down.
11:34No way's to go.
11:35Cookin' with gas.
11:36No way's to go.
11:38No way's to go.
11:39No way's to go.
11:40No way's to go.
11:41No way's to go.
11:43No way's to go.
11:43No way's to go.
11:43I'm cookin' with gas, little bit of sass.
11:45If you don't like it, then kiss my ass.
11:47Buns a steal, keepin' it real.
11:49Two high heels, and a heart of glass.
11:52Got big dreams, flawless seams.
11:54Group cut jeans, and I got no class.
11:56Hey, get out the way, bitch, I'm about to pass.
11:59Cause I'm cookin' with gas.
12:00Full of employees.
12:06Yep!
12:21Yes!
12:23Oh my gosh. Darlene, that was so dumb. Now fill her up and check the oil.
12:36Okay, it's time for the judges' critiques. Darlene, I loved that performance. First of all,
12:44I love that you did this kind of rainbow choir robe and then the reveal to my favorite thing,
12:52gauntlets! You had them on! You know, it's been so much fun this whole competition to be able to
12:56watch you come into your own. You really, in the beginning, were kind of low-key and struggling,
13:02and then I think something clicked and you just realized who you were. That's why that shirt that
13:07you're wearing right now is so very important. And I think the most important thing I'd like to
13:12thank you for is not wearing those shoes tonight. Save a horse, ride a drag queen. That was fantastic.
13:21Putting the hoe back and hoe down. I loved every second of it. And I have this same t-shirt,
13:27but I'm really resonating with this one right now because I love you as well. Great job.
13:32Thank you. Lovely. Darlene Flo Mitchell. I love you so much. I mean, you weren't just cooking with gas.
13:40You had a little bit of electric up in there. You were a hybrid tonight. You killed it. And I
13:45could
13:45not take my eyes off you. Congratulations. So proud of you tonight.
13:50Aww.
13:52Okay, listen. I'm afraid to ask this question, but where did you get your sense of style?
13:56Just lucky, I guess.
13:59Some chose books. I chose looks.
14:04Now, as the judges said, you were the dark horse of this season. Now, when did you realize you could
14:10win
14:10this whole competition? When I took the roast, relying on nothing but my stupid...
14:17Uh-huh.
14:18...that, like, really kind of, like, let me know, like, oh, I'm winning this whole thing. Like...
14:24Yes.
14:25Yes.
14:26That was it.
14:27Now, before you were Darlene Mitchell, you were Trash, the drag queen.
14:33So I have to ask, Darlene, what would you say to 24-year-old Trash?
14:41Oh, no! Work, bitch!
14:45Girl, you have work in the morning. You need to... You need to get to bed and blend, bitch!
14:55And now, what would you say to five-year-old Blake?
14:59Aww.
15:01I would say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, and that there will come a day
15:07when you might not think that you will see another one. But I'm standing here today to
15:14tell you that you find your light, you find your purpose, you find a smokin' hot fiancé.
15:24And when it comes to your family, you will be delightfully surprised at how hearts and minds can change.
15:34And I love you.
15:37What a precious, precious baby.
15:40Now, who's here supporting you tonight?
15:42I have my beautiful fiancé, Brandon, and my dear friend, Molly.
15:46Hi, y'all.
15:47Hi.
15:47Hi.
15:48Now, Brandon is your creative collaborator. What's it like seeing her up on the stage, Brandon?
15:54Uh, surreal. Um, I'm so proud. We've been working together for, like, almost ten years,
16:00and we've been dating for almost ten years, and to see him here at the finale, I can't believe it.
16:06I'm so proud of you, and I'm rooting for you.
16:11Very sweet. Very kind.
16:13Your friend Molly's here, also. Molly, you've been on Team Soldiers for Darlene for a long time, haven't you?
16:19It's a long time.
16:19What is your role?
16:21Um, it was mostly a passenger princess.
16:24You mean Uber driver?
16:27Sort of.
16:28Lots of sing-alongs in the car on the way to the show in full face.
16:32Uh-huh.
16:32Lots of weeknight shows with varying degrees of crowd attendance.
16:38Well, that's gonna change now.
16:40Yes, definitely.
16:42Now, Darlene, what would it mean to you to become America's next drag superstar?
16:46It would mean that every success and struggle and tacky outfit along this journey had a purpose,
16:57and that the voice inside me that was telling me to never give up on this dream was right.
17:04It would also mean that y'all are about to see a lot more mall drag in the streets.
17:11All right!
17:12Ladies and gentlemen, Darlene Mitchell!
17:20If you're Team Darlene Mitchell, sound off using hashtag Drag Race.
17:28Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
17:31Up next, she came here a chorus girl, but she's leaving a star.
17:37It's Mikey Meeks!
17:42I am Mikey Meeks, and I'm known as the drag ingenue.
17:46Well, lately I've been feeling more like the leading lady.
17:50This roller coaster was the best ride of my life!
17:54She means it.
17:56Do not miss out on the opportunity!
17:59From Drew Barrymore, to lollipop in Spanish.
18:03No.
18:03To a Karen gone wild.
18:06It has been an incredible journey.
18:09You walked down and I wrote Star.
18:10You've got just a sparkle.
18:12We just want to watch you and see what you do.
18:19My highest point was the rusical.
18:21I found an art form of mine that I put to the side
18:24because I thought I wasn't good enough for it.
18:26Tonight was so incredible for you.
18:29My lowest point was that damn...
18:31Greater queen.
18:32Fifth position, Miss Mikey Meeks.
18:35Damn.
18:35These girls really tried it.
18:37They voted me to be in the bottom, but the Meeks lives on.
18:41I wore that shirt that said revenge.
18:43Baby, I got it.
18:44Who do you think you're talking to?
18:45I'm Mikey motherfucking Meeks.
18:48Nice.
18:49I'm sitting pretty with four wins.
18:52And not just four wins, I won the last three challenges in a row.
18:57Condragulations.
18:58Condragulations.
18:59Condragulations.
19:00You're the winner of this week's challenge.
19:02I want to win this so bad, not just for me, but for the people who raised me,
19:09for the community that made me.
19:11Curtains up, light the lights.
19:13Let's do this.
19:14Here to show us what she could do, performing her original song, Versatile,
19:21it's Mikey Meeks.
19:22I've played the leading lady.
19:25I've been the ingenue.
19:28Comedy and drama, I can switch between the two.
19:33Just give me any role and I'll go that extra mile.
19:38I'm a natural performer and by God, I'm versatile.
19:46Weather bottom billing or a top of the marquee.
19:50I'll bend over backwards or a plan on my knees.
19:53I can handle any part, big or small.
19:56Cause baby I'm versatile and I can do it all.
20:03Broadway, virgin or theater geek.
20:06I can make you come eight times a week.
20:09In a group scene or a one woman show.
20:12I'll leave you with a standing up.
20:20As an orgasm, get ready for my big finish.
20:24I like to show off.
20:26You like to watch me through.
20:28Whatever you need, just give me a call.
20:33Cause baby I'm versatile and I can do it all.
20:56As an orgasm, get ready for my big finish.
21:00Oh my goodness.
21:06Mikey. Wow.
21:08Wow! What a whore!
21:10Oh!
21:12Now it's time for the judges' critiques.
21:14First up, Michelle Visage.
21:15Daughter, you look like a Visage tonight,
21:17and I am very proud of that.
21:20You know what, Mikey?
21:21You've been strong through this whole competition,
21:23but I think what you did tonight was really smart
21:27because your song was called Versatile?
21:30Correct.
21:31I'm versatile, too.
21:32I've heard that about you.
21:34Here you are at the end,
21:36and you are branding.
21:38You are letting people know what you are able to do.
21:42You sang it, you danced it, you showed it.
21:44I thought it was fantastic.
21:48Thank you, Michelle.
21:50Wow, you are what they call a triple threat.
21:52You can sing, you can dance,
21:54and you can serve gorgeous face.
21:56I mean, you looked stunning from the moment you started.
21:58It was a smash performance.
22:00You are versed, but you're actually a top performer
22:03because that was amazing.
22:07Thank you, Chrissy.
22:09Mikey, that was a hard performance to do,
22:12and you did it perfectly.
22:14It was well executed,
22:16and you could see your heart on the stage.
22:19Like, you left it on the floor.
22:21Great job tonight.
22:22Oh, thank you so much.
22:23All right.
22:26Now, what did you learn about yourself on Drag Race?
22:28You know, coming in, I would get a lot of positive affirmation from others,
22:33and I would hear it, but I didn't always feel it.
22:37Well, being here, I learned how to channel that energy
22:41and what other people see in me,
22:43and now I'm standing here with that power.
22:46I came in as an ingenue, but now I'm leaving a leading lady.
22:50Yeah!
22:55All right, leading lady, if you could turn back time,
22:57what message would you give to little five-year-old Michael?
23:02Ooh, that's from my college graduation.
23:08I would say, little Michael,
23:12you're about to experience a life full of love and laughter
23:17with the best friends in the world
23:21and two parents who support you for who you are.
23:25And you may be teased for that same reason,
23:28but just know that they're pointing out your superpower.
23:33You were born to stand out, so go for it.
23:36And every time you wrap yourself in a blanket skirt
23:40like it's the only gown,
23:42you're preparing yourself for greatness.
23:46And stick with the name Mikey.
23:48I love it. I love it.
23:52It's funny.
23:53You look exactly the same.
23:56You look exactly the same.
23:57And I'm looking what appears to be your father and your mother.
24:00Correct.
24:00You look exactly like the both of them.
24:02I know, I know.
24:03It looks like Dad Bernie is wearing one of my jackets.
24:05Yes, yes.
24:06Gorgeous.
24:07Faye, did you dress him tonight?
24:08I did.
24:09You did?
24:10I bought the clothes she dressed in.
24:12She bought it.
24:13So now, where does Mikey get her stage presence?
24:17Which one of you?
24:18Mom?
24:19Well, I was a dancer.
24:23You were a showgirl.
24:24I was a little bit a showgirl.
24:26Yes, yes, yes.
24:27But no, he was born that way.
24:30Yeah.
24:30He had the passion to be a performer when he was a youngster.
24:34Really?
24:34Always entertaining.
24:35When Regis Philbin had his show.
24:37Who wants to be a millionaire?
24:38Yeah.
24:38He would do the invitation to anybody who walked by.
24:43Well, Faye and Bernie, you done good.
24:46You done good.
24:48Now, Mikey, is there anything you'd like to say to your parents?
24:51Oh, man.
24:52This is crazy.
24:54Don't move out.
24:54I love you both so much.
24:56We love you too, honey.
24:57Thank you for always supporting me in my dreams.
25:01And I couldn't be standing here today without what you've given me.
25:07And I hope to be making you so proud.
25:09So proud.
25:10Thank you so much.
25:13Mikey, what would it mean to you to become America's next drag superstar?
25:17You know, Ru, I'm a big believer and everything happens for a reason.
25:22And in my life and career, I have faced a lot of rejection.
25:26But I never lived by the nose.
25:30Because I knew it was leading to my ultimate yes.
25:32And that's what this moment is right here.
25:34You've said it yourself.
25:35You can look at the darkness, but don't stare.
25:40So with this title, I'm stepping into my light.
25:43And I hope to inspire others to do the same.
25:47I love it.
25:48Well, she worked her fanny off this season.
25:53Give it up for Mikey Meeks.
26:01If you are Team Mikey Meeks, sound off using hashtag Drag Race.
26:09This is the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
26:13This next queen has turned the art of drag into a science.
26:17It's Nene Coco.
26:24I'm Nene Coco.
26:25I am the high-energy, high-fashion diva from Denver, Colorado.
26:31My journey started off very hot with a win.
26:34I will wear this outfit outside.
26:36I love it.
26:37And it was not long before the reality of the competition hit me.
26:42I feel like I was overthinking what I had to do.
26:45Wait, I'll go week two.
26:47There have been a couple hiccups.
26:48Mr. Paul!
26:49It's not a family resemblance to me.
26:52But at the end of the day, I have pushed through and given my all every step of the way.
26:58There are so many moments of joy sprinkled throughout this experience.
27:02Let's breathe, baby!
27:04I've proven that I am funny.
27:07I'm a talented designer.
27:09She created a wow effect.
27:12From making most of my runway looks to fighting to the end of this competition through lip sync after lip
27:17sync after lip sync.
27:20I feel like I got off to a rough start with some of the queens.
27:23Heeney has a gun!
27:24Heeney has a gun!
27:25Heeney has a gun!
27:26But by the end of the competition, I found a way to communicate better.
27:30I want to connect with y'all and I, like, struggle to do that in moments.
27:34This experience taught me that the art of drag is an amazing way to express emotion, but you have to
27:42understand the core humanity within all of it.
27:45And that is the most important.
27:49I walked into this competition as a mechanical engineer, and I am leaving a drag superstar.
27:54I'm so ready for this final performance.
27:56I have one last thing to prove, and it's that I deserve this crown.
28:01Bitch, get ready.
28:04And now, performing Stimulate is the electrifying NeNe Coco.
28:10Automate.
28:12Concentrate.
28:14Imitate.
28:16Calculate.
28:18It is time to get to work.
28:22Talk in, talk out, then submit it.
28:25Concentrate, don't ever quit it.
28:27Don't forget you ever did it, did it, uh.
28:31Keep your body at attention.
28:33See perfection and precision.
28:35Emotion is inefficient, efficient.
28:38It's time to stimulate your soul, stimulate your mind, stimulate your ears and eyes and all your senses.
28:48I want to free you from your loss, and take you to your highs.
28:54Stimulate your ears and eyes and all your senses.
29:20I want to free you from your loss, and take you to your highs.
29:27I want to free you from your loss, and take you to your highs.
29:27Simulate your ears and eyes and all your senses

30:24michelle oh my gosh I'm cuckoo for nene coco it was just so captivating from the moment you started
30:32that really intense choreography we were all drawn in we were locked in the audience was with you the
30:38entire time that was really phenomenal congratulations nene you ate that performance up
30:46yes and i'm so proud of you because that was not easy from the reveal to coming down off the
30:52table
30:53onto a chair in the hill and then doing the fast performance in the chair that was crazy so
30:58just all season long you really showed what it takes to be a real entertainer beautiful job
31:09now nene what did you learn about yourself during your time at drag race the moral of the story for
31:14me was it's not that serious and for so much of my life i've been afraid of taking risks and
31:21this
31:22competition throws that out the window so let it all go and just have fun yeah yeah how did you
31:28get
31:28along with the other queens uh queens get a share i feel like there was a point at the beginning
31:35of
31:36the competition where i was coming a little bit hot with some of the shade i learned a lot that
31:41half of
31:42this competition is the challenges and the other half is the relationships that you build with
31:46these other girls and thankfully throughout all of that and letting go of some of that insecurity i
31:52feel like i've able to find so many friends in all of you and thank you all for being patient
31:57with me
31:58as i learned how to communicate really what i meant and what i was trying to say we love you
32:03love you girls now nene coco what words of wisdom do you have to share with three-year-old nico
32:20um you are such a happy little kid and i want you to hold on to that for as long
32:28as you can
32:31because i think when you realize that you're a little bit different than everybody else you're
32:35going to start to feel scared of who you are and what people think about you and get scared of
32:42this
32:42future that you can't control but i want you to know and remember one thing and that is
32:50your queerness is the greatest gift that this life has to give you and um i
32:57want you to go to more parties and don't study so hard be faggy every single day
