07:43Hello.

07:56sing their own personal anthem.
08:00And tonight, they're ready to entertain us like only they can.
08:04In the end, I'll choose the top two queens of the season, and they'll face off in a final lip
08:10sync for the crown, plus a grand prize of $200,000.
08:17Razors, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
08:29Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
08:32Our first finalist is a little big country and a whole lot of stupid.
08:38It's Darlene Mitchell.
08:44I'm Darlene Mitchell, and I am the country-country camp queen of season 18.
08:48She's corny.
08:49My 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.
09:03Yeah, we've got to get you back in the bars.
09:04I didn't realize how much I missed and needed the 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, too.
09:15It's so fun to watch someone who's having fun.
09:17They really like me.
09:20A lot of my looks lean into the fun.
09:22That's the whole point of drag.
09:23Move, bitch!
09:25I 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 next?
09:37Banana!
09:39Banana!
09:40I 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.
09:48Now you've got to 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.
10:14The 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, Cookin' With Gas, is Darlene Mitchell.
10:31Now I'm cookin' with gas, a little bit of sass.
10:35If you don't like it, then kiss my mouth.
10:42Come on, man!
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, I ain't tappin' on the brakes.

11:14Ones of steel, keepin' it real.
11:16Two high heels and I'm hard at last.

27:26by the end of the
27:27competition i found a way to communicate better i want to connect with y'all and i like struggle to
27:33do that in moments this experience taught me that the art of drag is an amazing way to express emotion

29:52Woo!
30:00NeNe!
30:02Wow, I want to work in your office.
30:05You're welcome, too, anytime.
30:07Let's hear from the judges.
30:09Come on, cold-hearted snake.
30:11That was so amazing, so tight,
30:15and you had to be with that type of choreography.
30:17This is what it looks like
30:18when you keep your eye on the prize.
30:21It's been so fun, and you've been amazing.
30:23Thank you, Michelle.
30:24Yeah.
30:26Oh, my gosh, I'm cuckoo for NeNe Coco.
30:29It was just so captivating.
30:31From the moment you started that really intense choreography,
30:34we were all drawn in, we were locked in,
30:36the audience was with you the entire time.
30:38That was really phenomenal. Congratulations.
30:41Thanks, guys, honey.
30:44NeNe, you ate that performance up.
30:47Yes, and I'm so proud of you because that was not easy.
30:50From the reveal to coming down off the table onto a chair in the heel,
30:54and then doing the fast performance in the chair, that was crazy.
30:58So just all season long,
30:59you really showed what it takes to be a real entertainer.
31:05Beautiful job.
31:06Beautiful.
31:09Now, NeNe, what did you learn about yourself during your time at Drag Race?
31:13The moral of the story for me was it's not that serious,
31:17and for so much of my life, I've been afraid of taking risks,
31:21and this competition throws that out the window.
31:24So let it all go and just have fun.
31:27Yeah, yeah.
31:27How did you get along with the other queens?
31:31Queens, get a share?
31:34I feel like there was a point at the beginning of the competition
31:36where I was coming in a little bit hot with some of the shade.
31:40I learned a lot that half of this competition is the challenges,
31:44and the other half is the relationships that you build with these other girls.
31:48And thankfully, throughout all of that and letting go of some of that insecurity,
31:52I feel like I've been able to find so many friends in all of you.
31:56And thank you all for being patient with me
31:58as I learned how to communicate really what I meant and what I was trying to say.
32:02We love you.
32:02We love you.
32:03We love you.
32:05Love you, girls.
32:06Now, Nene Coco, what words of wisdom do you have to share with three-year-old Nico?
32:14Oh, my God.
32:21You are such a happy little kid,
32:24and I want you to hold on to that for as long as you can
32:31because I think when you realize that you're a little bit different than everybody else,
32:35you're going to start to feel scared of who you are
32:38and what people think about you
32:39and get scared of this future that you can't control.
32:44But I want you to know and remember one thing,
32:47and that is your queerness is the greatest gift that this life has to give you.
32:54And I want you to go to more parties
32:59and don't study so hard.
33:01Be faggy every single day.
33:05And I hope that I made you proud
33:08because you make me so proud.
33:11Ah, lovely.
33:14Now, I see a beautiful woman and a gorgeous man in the front row here.
33:19Yes, that is my mom, Kim, and my boyfriend, AJ.
33:22Mom, are those cheekbones natural?
33:25I'm afraid they are.
33:28They are gorgeous!
33:32Now, when you saw Nene Coco in drag the first time,
33:35did you see yourself?
33:36Who did you see?
33:37Oh, absolutely saw me.
33:40The very first time, he was in a dark wig.
33:44Uh-huh.
33:44And he goes, he looks just like you.
33:47It freaked me out, so...
33:48Now, AJ, you are also in the science world.
33:53How did two nerds like you meet?
33:55Is there a grinder or something for nerds?
33:58Is it called nerder?
33:59Yeah, science nerder.
34:02How did you guys meet?
34:03Yeah, we were in school, just going at it.
34:06And, uh, how do two smart people make a relationship work for so long?
34:16Honestly, he's the wings to my anchor.
34:19We just...
34:21We were paired really well.
34:23I love that.
34:25I love it.
34:26Final question.
34:27Nene Coco, why do you want to be America's next drag superstar?
34:33I feel like drag is my own liberation,
34:37and it is the thing that makes me feel the most alive.
34:40And be America's next drag superstar,
34:42I feel that calling and that responsibility
34:44to progress all of us towards a queer future
34:49that is better for everyone,
34:50because the life we're living today feels kind of fucked.
34:53And if we can bring some more joy
34:55and some more power to queerness
34:59and all of us people who are struggling,
35:02that is the purpose that drag gives me,
35:04and I want to share that with the rest of the world.
35:06Lovely.
35:07One more round of applause for Nene Coco.
35:10Hey, Nene girl, it's your world
35:14when you walk the street.
35:16If you are team Nene Coco,

35:55duetting with her godmother, Dolly Parton,
35:57or storming the red carpet,

36:16an important branch of the Miley Cyrus Foundation,
36:19she fights for homeless queer youth.

36:32Miley was just 11 years old
36:34when she secured the lead role of Hannah Montana,
36:36a show that bridged her childhood
36:38with rapid pop culture fame.
36:40Her ability to evolve, like her talent, is extraordinary.
36:43She's an inspiration to us all
36:44as she continues to grow as a person and an artist.
36:48And why is for the 20 years
36:50Miley has spent rewriting the rules,
36:52reminding us that reinvention is power,
36:54that the bravest thing you can be
36:56is unapologetically yourself.
36:58And at 33, she's just getting started.

44:59They do every single day on the show which is makeup
45:02So what colors are you feeling?
45:04I feel like a pinky highlight would be great too to go into the blush
45:07Like a silvery pink
45:07Silvery pink would go into the blush
45:09My whole idea is when the spotlight hits
