02:37Tell em, tell em.
02:38Tell em the truth.
02:39Tell em, tell em the truth.
02:42For one day, get the day.
02:43At last, let's never leave.
02:45A one-of-a-kind colombi.
02:47Violet Letton.
03:01Ladies and gentlemen, the reason for this season, the supermodel of the world, Rupaul!
03:43I am feeling mighty real tonight.
03:50Mighty real, mighty real.
03:52Are you ready to crown America's next drag superstar?
03:58Good, good, good.
04:00But before we do, I have one thing to say.
04:06You better...
04:22The winner of Rupaul's Drag Race receives a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics and a cash prize
04:29of $100,000.
04:38Welcome to the grand finale of Rupaul's Drag Race.
04:41Tonight, the queendom has gathered from far and near to help me crown America's next drag superstar.
04:48In fact, we have the largest turnout ever.
04:52Sixty queens, past and present, under one roof.
04:55Now that's...
04:56Yes.
04:57Yes.
04:59That's a lot of duck tape.
05:01A lot of duck tape.
05:03Hey, Gorta.
05:07Michelle Visage, I see you brought the girls.
05:10I never leave home without them.
05:11I meant Ross and Carson.
05:13Hi!
05:15Now, tonight, we're doing things a little differently.
05:19Ginger Minj, Pearl, and Violet Tchotchke.
05:21I have not, repeat, I have not made my final decision.
05:27So, to help me make up my mind, I've asked each of you to prepare a lip-sync performance to
05:34a song created especially for you.
05:36Ladies, this will be your last chance to impress me and to prove to the world that you have what
05:43it takes to become America's next drag superstar.
05:47Yes.
05:49So, gentlemen, start your engines, and may the best woman win.
05:58Coming up, our top three queens lip-sync for their lives.
06:02Plus, the sisters of season seven reunite and hop off.
06:17Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
06:20Now, this season's race for the crown is the tightest in her street.
06:24So, I've challenged the top three queens to perform one last time.
06:28First up, get ready to pray and slay with the right reverend Ginger Minj.
06:32Hey, ladies and gentlemen, my wife's got a great heart.
06:37Here we go.
06:38My lashes on, my heels too.
06:41Hang me too fast, cause all my weight is in my boots.
06:44When I wake up, I drink my juice.
06:48Get on my knees and have a check in the faces.
06:50I said thank you, Lord, for these heavenly dance.
06:53For these neighbors on the path of faith.
06:56Cause my life ain't behind a bush no more.
06:59The only bush on me will shake it off this morning.
07:02Come on now, pray and slay.
07:06There ain't no way to break the day away.
07:09Come on now, pray and slay.
07:12Cause there ain't no way to break the day away.
07:15Come on now, pray, pray, pray, pray and slay, slay, slay, slay.
07:18Pray, pray, pray, pray and slay.
07:20So when you're feeling down in the morning.
07:27I tell you what you're, what you're, what you're supposed to do.
07:34It's time to pray and slay.
07:39Cause there ain't no way to break the day away.
07:42It's time to break the day away.
07:45Cause there ain't no way to break the day away.
08:13Ginger man, you just flooded my basement.
08:15Now, Ginger, while you catch your breath, let's talk to the judges.
08:19Michelle Visage, what'd you think?
08:20Very, very Patti LaBella knows she better do.
08:23Very proud of you, Ginger Minj.
08:26You have been an entertainer from episode one to today.
08:28And that's how you got your spot here.
08:30Congratulations, honey.
08:31Well, praise the Lord and hallelujah.
08:33I still love the Minj.
08:38Well, thank you, judges.
08:39Now, Ginger, tonight you took us to church,
08:41but all season long, you've been taking us on one wild ride.
08:45Let's take a look.
08:48Hi, fellas.
08:49I like to describe myself as a glamour toad.
08:51She always wants to look neat, petite, and ready to eat.
08:54I'm low sugar.
08:57Eggs, eggs, eggs.
08:59All I want is eggs.
09:00She can give you comedy and glamour and singing and acting.
09:04I mean, she's a quadruple threat.
09:05This is America.
09:07Land of the free, home of the fat people.
09:09And if we're going to supersize our french fries,
09:11why can't we at least supersize our next track superstar?
09:16So, Ginger, in Untucked, you and the bitter old lady brigade
09:21were throwing a lot of shade at the younger girls.
09:24Do you regret that?
09:25Well, let me say, I'm a size 22,
09:26so no matter which way the light hits me,
09:28I'm going to throw shade in one direction or another.
09:32But in all serious, you know, when I was growing up,
09:35I came from a very southern, very practical church-going family,
09:39so I was never really encouraged to speak my mind or ask questions.
09:43Drag gave me my voice,
09:45so I'm finally not afraid to ask questions and say what I feel.
09:49Now, I know, girl, that I do come off a little bit abrasive sometimes,
09:53but it all comes from a place of love.
09:56That's it.
09:57All right.
09:57All right.
09:58Good.
09:59Good.
10:00Okay, so I'll tell you what.
10:01We're going to take some questions from your fans.
10:04Hi.
10:06Celeste from Richmond wants to know,
10:08Ginger, is it time for a big girl to win?
10:10Well, it is time for a big girl to win,
10:13but I don't want to win because I'm big.
10:16I want to win because I came in with guns a-blazing
10:19and I killed the competition.
10:25All right, so Ginger, you've got a lot of people rooting for you.
10:28Let's take a look.
10:29Hi, Ginger, this is your sister.
10:31I've always known you're a star.
10:32I hope America sees what the family has always seen in you.
10:36Hi, I'm John Waters, and I'm here for Ginger Minj.
10:39Congratulations on getting to the finals of RuPaul's Drag Race.
10:42I'm rooting for you, and so is Edith Massey from Beyond the Green.
10:47Hi, Ginger, it's Mom.
10:48I'm so proud of you.
10:50I love watching you perform.
10:51I love you so much, and congratulations.
10:54Bye.
10:55Hey, Ginger, this is Dad.
10:56You know, I've always been proud of you, and I'm proud that you're my son,
11:01and I've always tried to be there for you,
11:03and I know sometimes I've failed at that,
11:05but, you know, I'm a work in progress.
11:08For you to think that I don't approve of you
11:10makes me feel like I failed as a father.
11:12There's no way that I don't approve of you.
11:15Hopefully tonight we can start two new chapters,
11:18one, you winning everything and going on to your fame and fortune,
11:21something that you've worked.
11:26You've worked very hard for.
11:29And hopefully we can start another chapter, you and I,
11:33and we can move on and bond together from here forward.
11:37Sorry.
11:38Nobody knows how hard he's worked.
11:41He's very special.
11:43Good luck tonight.
11:44I'm so proud of you.
11:45And we'll definitely be watching.
11:54What does it feel like to hear your father say those words?
11:58Other than my mom, I never felt loved growing up.
12:00And I hope that this does lead to not only a reconciliation,
12:07but a relationship that I never have.
12:16I hope he feels bad enough to buy me a new set of bottom lashes because these were custom.
12:22So what would it mean to you to become America's next drag superstar?
12:25Oh, God.
12:26Who doesn't want to be part of that legacy?
12:29I mean, you've created something that's so special for all of us.
12:32And to even be considered to be part of that is overwhelming.
12:38Ginger, you are my kind of plus-sized queen.
12:41Because you've got a big talent, a big heart, and a big future ahead of you.
12:46I love you, Ginger.
12:47I love you, too.
12:48We all love the men.
12:53If you're Team Ginger, tweet it now.
12:56Coming up, Pearl and Violet Tchotchke take the stage.
13:11Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
13:15The final face-off between our top three queens continues.
13:18Up next, she started out as a sleeping beauty.
13:21But will her fairy tale end with a crown?
13:24Please welcome everybody's favorite sleepwalker, Pearl.
13:34Now I lay me down to sleep
13:37I pray to drag my dress as chic
13:41Ever since she was a child
13:44Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
13:47She wasn't loud, she wasn't quiet
13:51No-oh, no-oh, no-oh
13:55Sleepwalker
13:56She's the queen of your dreams
13:58Sleepwalker
13:59Kept my meal and coffee
14:01Not even the loud voice like
14:04Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
14:08Sleepwalker
14:09Never opened her eyes
14:12Sleepwalker
14:13Begging her like a prize
14:15Not even the loud voice like
14:18Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
14:26Sleepwalker
14:26Loud voice
14:30Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
14:38Sleepwalker
14:52Good morning, Pearl.
14:54Good morning.
14:55It's time to hear from the judges.
14:57Michelle Visage, what do you have to say?
14:59You came into this competition, you had a bit of an attitude.
15:01But as time went on, you became lovable, you became awake, and you earned your spot here in the final.
15:09We were asking you to come out of your shell.
15:12Oh, look at you.
15:13Don't you love a good Pearl shell joke?
15:16But I think that, you know, the audience has spoken, and the people like you, Pearl.
15:20They really like you.
15:22Good day.
15:23Congratulations.
15:27So, Pearl, you've come a long way, baby.
15:29Let's take a look.
15:32I would describe Pearl as some kind of robotic Stepford wife bitch.
15:37I've been drawing Pearl since I was, like, ten.
15:41And then one day, I just painted her on me.
15:44You've been sleepwalking.
15:47Wake up, Pearl.
15:50Wake up.
15:52You kind of, like, told me I had no personality.
15:55Well, I'm hoping it will light a fire under your ass.
16:02There's something on my face.
16:04I had a rough childhood, okay?
16:05I wasn't watching fucking Batman and Robin.
16:08Someone set their alarm clock and finally woke up.
16:11Well, what's he done?
16:13I think I figured it out.
16:14You're a weirdo.
16:15Oh, yeah.
16:16Boy, oh boy, has there been a transformation in you.
16:18At this point, there's nothing that could break my spirit.
16:21Atta girl, Pearl.
16:26Okay, so, Pearl, what made you wake up?
16:28You said something a long time ago.
16:31It was something like, the fear of looking stupid is really holding you back.
16:34And, yeah, I mean, I'm not a quitter.
16:36And I wasn't about to quit on Drag Race.
16:38Good.
16:39I'm glad you didn't.
16:41Now, have you heard of this conspiracy theory called the curse of Pearl,
16:45where any queen who crosses you immediately goes home?
16:49Yeah, it's been brought up.
16:51You didn't go home, though.
16:52Uh, bitch.
16:54See, the thing is, I actually, I didn't cross you.
16:57I almost just threw your ass out of the door.
17:05Take a look at this.
17:06Which queen has least impressed you?
17:09I'd have to say Pearl.
17:12Sasha Bell.
17:13Sachet away.
17:14I noticed this black trim around her chin.
17:16I'm thinking, what the hell is that?
17:19Jasmine girl, sashay away.
17:22There's this part of Pearl that's, like, too cool for season seven.
17:27Sachet away.
17:29I can forget her.
17:30I'll never forget.
17:37All right, so we have some questions from some fans.
17:39Oh.
17:39Oh, look who's here.
17:40It's Alaska.
17:42Hi.
17:43Hi.
17:44What's up?
17:47Xavier from California wants to know.
17:53Pearl, is it just me, or does everybody want to fuck you?
18:04I'm single.
18:05I'm single.
18:08No, but Pearl, for real, how do you deal with all the attention you've got?
18:11Really, I mean, I want people to like me because I'm talented and I'm unique and I have nerve and
18:15I have, you know, charisma.
18:16Not in that order.
18:18But thank you.
18:21Now, Pearl, you have a lot of people in your corner.
18:25Let's take a look.
18:25I have something on my face and it's a big smile of love, pride, and joy from my number one
18:31grandson.
18:32Love you, Natty.
18:34I'm your grandma.
18:35Hey, Pearl.
18:36Talk up anything you like.
18:38You've slayed all season, girl.
18:40You've been killing it.
18:40We love you.
18:41Come on, same strap.
18:43We're so proud of you.
18:45So proud.
18:46We wish you all the luck in the world.
18:48We love you.
18:49Love you so much.
18:50Love you.
18:51Bye.
18:52I wanted to send you a quick message letting you know how proud I am.
18:55You have always been a special, special little boy.
19:01From the time you were two and three years old running around in your sister's tutu to the time that
19:07I knew I was going to lose you to a big city, I knew one thing would never change and
19:12that is my love for you.
19:14I love you as my son.
19:16I love you as Pearl.
19:17And we could not be more proud of you.
19:20And I am so happy to have watched you go through this.
19:24I love you.
19:25And we'll see you soon.
19:27Mwah.
19:33Pearl, your mother is here.
19:35I want to say hi to the mother of Pearl.
19:37Hello, mother of Pearl.
19:38Hello, girl.
19:40Now, you've gone over and above for your support of Pearl.
19:44Tell us about that.
19:45One day I thought, I should do a fan page.
19:48Within just a few hours, I was literally inundated with private messaging from younger gay boys.
19:58Looking for sex.
20:04No, that's my fan page.
20:06No, that's your fan page.
20:07Right, right, right.
20:08Anyway, I was just messaged by so many people, how do I come out to my parents, and it's been
20:13pretty amazing.
20:14That's fabulous.
20:15That's wonderful.
20:16So, Pearl, what would you do with $100,000?
20:20Or maybe buy some nice wigs after seeing myself in them thirsty-ass wigs all season long.
20:27Now, one final question.
20:29Do I have something on my face?
20:36The answer is yes, and it's a mixture of pride, affection, and about two and a half inches of foundation.
20:43Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Pearl.
20:51Is Pearl the queen of your dreams?
20:54Sound off now.
20:55Coming up next, Violet Tchotchke bears all.
20:58And later, the season seven queens reunite and let us have it.
21:11Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
21:14It's time for one last tango with a queen who's always in vogue.
21:18Please welcome Violet Tchotchke.
21:25He wants to take me to breakfast.
21:28He wants to show me his house.
21:32He wants to meet me in London.
21:35He wants to drive me around.
21:39I can't fix this problem of mine.
21:42There's too many daddies and not enough time.
21:48One more time.
21:52He wants to loosen my corset.
21:59He wants to teach me to tango.
22:03He wants to teach me to tango.
22:04He wants to do everything.
22:06I've got old men standing and lying.
22:09Too many daddies and not enough time.
22:29There's a little louder, yes.
22:30Too many daddies and not enough time.
23:01Come through, mama.
23:04Okay, Violet, let's talk to the judges.
23:06Starting with, I hate Michelle Visage.
23:11You can hate me all you want.
23:13I loves me some Violet Tchotchke.
23:19I think what's so impressive about you is you have beautiful clothes, but you wear the clothes.
23:23They don't wear you.
23:24You really present yourself.
23:28Every week, I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for you to electrify me with your looks, and
23:32you did.
23:33And tonight, though, you electrified me with your performance, honey.
23:37Congratulations.
23:38You earned it.
23:39Thank you, judges.
23:40Now, Violet Tchotchke, since day one, you wowed us with your runway.
23:44But this competition has not always been a cinch for you.
23:47Let's take a look.
23:49I am a one-of-a-kind collectible.
23:51Party.
23:52My biggest strength is probably aesthetics.
23:54I'm very visually appealing.
23:56Is that conceited?
23:58You took fashion risks, and they paid off.
24:01Oh.
24:03I'm giving you Tachan Alganza.
24:05I'm giving you 1956 Dior.
24:07I'm giving you John Willie vintage smut for your nerves.
24:11You might have been playing a dead person, but we were living.
24:14Violet does have a tendency to be sort of bitchy.
24:17You are the team leader.
24:19Whatever you want, boo-boo.
24:21I think people think I'm mean, but everything I've done here either comes from a place of
24:24humor or a place of truth.
24:26I think the biggest thing that I've learned throughout this process is to just be aware
24:30of your first impressions.
24:31I honestly do feel like I represent the past, the present, but more than anything, the future.
24:44So when did you start designing your own clothes?
24:46I think I started sewing around, like, eighth grade.
24:50I think because skinny jeans were, like, just now becoming a thing, and they didn't have
24:52them in boys' clothes.
24:53So I, like—and I also tailored my Catholic school uniform.
24:57You went to Catholic school?
24:57I did go to Catholic school, K through 12.
24:59And I would do, like, alterations mostly.
25:01So I think, like, I don't know, 12 or 13, I got a sewing machine.
25:04Where did all this confidence come from?
25:07Um, I think I got to a point in my life where I was just sick of dealing with other
25:10people's—what they
25:11wanted me to do.
25:12I was like, you know what?
25:13I'm going to live my life for me, and that's it.
25:20So we have some fan questions from you.
25:21Are you ready for them?
25:22Yeah, let's do it.
25:22All right, look.
25:23There is Gia Gunn.
25:25Hi, Gia Gunn.
25:26We have Skylar from California.
25:31Violet, what would you tell a teenager who wants to do drag but is afraid of how their
25:38family and friends will react?
25:40Well, I—what I did is I would do drag in the middle of the night in my bedroom with
25:44the door locked, and then eventually I just went out, snuck around, just do it in secret
25:49until it became okay and I became comfortable to do it and be proud of it.
25:52Oh, that's good advice.
25:54Absolutely.
25:54I think that's wonderful.
25:56Well, thank you, Gia.
25:58Do we have another question?
25:59Hi.
26:00Hi, Mimi.
26:01Okay.
26:02Violet Chachki, you were voted the shadiest queen by the other girls.
26:09Chris from San Diego wants to know, who did you vote for and why?
26:15I think I voted for myself, actually.
26:18I'm honest.
26:21If you can't hate yourself, how the hell are you going to hate somebody else?
26:28Well, there you have it.
26:29It's time to hear from some of your biggest supporters.
26:32Let's take a look.
26:33I'm Team Violet because she is sickening!
26:35Team Violet for the win!
26:36Yes, bitch!
26:37Back it up!
26:38Slay!
26:39Come through!
26:40Hi, Violet.
26:41Mom here.
26:42I just wanted to say congratulations for making it to the finals.
26:45I am so proud of the way you have handled yourself.
26:49We just wanted to let you know how proud of you we are and that we never doubted you would
26:52make it to the finals.
26:53And now the rest of the world knows it, too.
26:55We're so proud to be your friends.
26:56Now make them bitches.
26:57You did.
26:58We love you.
26:59Hi, Violet.
27:00Your dad here.
27:00I would like to wish you all the success in the world.
27:03I am very proud of the level of accomplishment you have achieved doing what you love to do.
27:07I hope to see you go all the way to the top.
27:10Good luck.
27:10We love you.
27:14So your mother, Alex, is here.
27:16What advice do you have for parents who have children who are as flamboyant as Violet?
27:22As a parent, you have to let them be their own person.
27:25That's all you can do.
27:26Right.
27:27Right.
27:29It's good advice.
27:31Thanks, Alex.
27:32Now, Violet, what would it mean to you to become America's next drag superstar?
27:36It would mean everything.
27:37Like, this is literally it.
27:38This is what I love to do.
27:39I have such a passion for it.
27:41It literally gives me life.
27:42Like, when I say that, it's everything to me.
27:44It brings me so much happiness and joy.
27:47In whatever mood I'm in, I can, you know, watch a bitch like Kennedy twirl and just, like,
27:51get so happy watching it.
27:52It really, it, like, moves me.
27:54I love it so much.
27:55And it would mean the world to me.
27:58Well, Violet Tchotchke, you're not just a one-of-a-kind collectible.
28:02You are a treasure.
28:03Ladies and gentlemen, Violet Tchotchke.
28:08Are you team, Violet?
28:10Let your voice be heard.
28:11Coming up, the queens of season seven are reunited, and it feels so good.
28:16As we prepare to crown America's next drag superstar.
28:32Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
28:35Now, while the top three are backstage getting ready, it's time to catch up with the queens
28:40that made this season sickening.
28:42Starting with a drag dad, a code cracker, a corn popper, and a very married lady.
28:49Mama's home.
28:52My drag style is influenced by the campy and kitschy people of the world.
28:57So how old are you?
28:59Ooh.
29:00How old am I?
29:02Really.
29:03I'm Sasha Bell.
29:05Say hello to my little friend.
29:07I could tell you every episode what the challenge was, who went home.
29:11I feel like I've cracked the code.
29:12We're never going to pick up hot men looking like this.
29:14I'm the next drag superstar because I've done my homework.
29:17We made it, bitches!
29:19Yes!
29:19Jasmine is class and elegance.
29:22I am here.
29:23H-E-R-E, bitch.
29:24I'm here.
29:25Where did you get a loaf of bread?
29:28No tea, no shade, no pink lemonade.
29:31Ding!
29:31Hi, my homies.
29:32I'm home.
29:34My name is Mrs. Kasha Davis.
29:37Is that Joe Rivers?
29:39What are you wearing?
29:40Anybody can be a girl, but it takes a lot of balls to be a lady.
29:44There's always time for a cocktail.
29:49Tempest du jour.
29:50Candy Ho accused you of being too old.
29:53How'd that make you feel?
29:55Well, it never feels good, but Candy and I are friends.
29:58I wish that, you know, at my age she looks half as fabulous as I do, so...
30:02I'm sorry for calling you old.
30:05Apologies.
30:05My mama taught me better than that, right?
30:07To be nice to old people.
30:11I love you, girl.
30:12I love you so much.
30:13I love you, too.
30:14I really do.
30:16You also have an eight-year-old and a five-year-old at home.
30:20Did they watch?
30:21They did.
30:22My daughter, she watched the first episode, and she started to cry when I got eliminated,
30:25and she said, Papa, why doesn't RuPaul like you anymore?
30:31Mimi, if you're watching, RuPaul loves your daddy.
30:34Now go to bed.
30:37Next up, we've got Sasha Bell.
30:39Sasha Bell, you arrived thinking that you had cracked the code.
30:45What happened?
30:48Well, I thought that I did crack the code, and I thought I knew what you were looking for,
30:52but I think what makes the show so great is that it's so different every season, and I
30:57wasn't ready.
30:58All right, all right.
30:59Now, back in Iowa, you host a night called Sasha Bell's Drag Race.
31:03Is that right?
31:04Yes, yes.
31:04Well, first of all, you'll be hearing from my lawyers, and second of all, how is that
31:14going?
31:17It's going really good.
31:18We do it because I really fucking love this show.
31:22I do, you know, and if there was no grand prize, I would still play.
31:25Well, listen, you keep ringing in bells, girl.
31:27All right, thank you.
31:29Up next, Jasmine Masters.
31:32Oh, my gosh.
31:35Now, what was your most exciting moment on the drag race?
31:38Meeting Kennedy.
31:40Really?
31:40Yeah.
31:41Because I have watched her at least nine years, 10 years on VCR tapes doing pageants and
31:46dancing and stuff.
31:47Uh-huh.
31:49And I'm sorry, since I mean it's on your edge, girl, it's a gamey girl.
31:54So, Jasmine, who inspired you to do drag?
31:57Patti LaBelle.
31:58She's just, she's who she is when she's on stage, when she's off stage.
32:01She gives her a thousand percent.
32:03I just love her.
32:04She does everything to me.
32:05Well, we have a surprise for you.
32:07Take a look.
32:07What?
32:08Hi, Jasmine.
32:09I love the way you stared it up, honey.
32:12Thank you for always looking like Patti LaBelle at my concerts.
32:15I love you.
32:16Bye.
32:17I'm a very proud of the next one.
32:21Yes.
32:26Yes.
32:27Yes.
32:27Yes.
32:28Well, listen, I felt like we needed to lift you up even more because on social media,
32:32people were very, very harsh to you.
32:34How did that make you feel?
32:36When you are getting so much negativity, it's like you can't breathe.
32:40And it took me back to a friend of mine who had committed suicide when they was getting
32:43bullied so much, being young and gay when their parents put them out.
32:47The straight world didn't accept them.
32:48The gay world didn't accept them.
32:49So they just ended it because they didn't feel like they belonged.
32:51And at that point in time, I felt like I didn't belong.
32:53Wow.
32:54So it was hard, but I just ate a lot of food and a lot of hot sauce.
33:01I'm glad you did get through it.
33:02I'm glad you're here.
33:04Listen, for seven seasons, RuPaul's Drag Race has been one of the most popular shows on social
33:09media.
33:09But recently, there's been a shift with more and more comments having a darker tone.
33:16But like my mom always said, you know, unless them bitches is paying your bills, you pay
33:20them bitches no mind.
33:26All right.
33:27Next up, there's always time for a cocktail.
33:30And this is Pasha Davis.
33:33During the competition, you had some issues with some of the younger kids.
33:38What were they?
33:39Well, some of the young gals on the show just had sort of a sense of entitlement.
33:42And it gets a little grating in that respect where somebody, you know, I've only been doing
33:46this for seven months and I'm going to win.
33:48And they might.
33:49So, um.
33:55But I mean, you know, listen, I learned a lot from these girls.
33:57Trixie, she taught me how to put way too much makeup on.
34:01And I'm wearing two of Violet's corsets right here.
34:07Now, listen, I've always wanted to ask you, is there really a Mr. Kasha Davis?
34:12There is.
34:12Where is he?
34:13Right here.
34:15That's him right there?
34:15That's Mr. Davis.
34:16Hi, Mr. Kasha Davis.
34:18He's really cute.
34:19He's really cute.
34:20Get ready, Mr. Davis, because mama's coming home.
34:26Are you team ginger, team pearl, or team violet?
34:30Coming up, a season's worth of dish and drama get untucked as we get closer to crowning
34:36America's next drag superstar.
34:38Hey, baby!
34:46Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
34:50Now, as our top three prepare backstage for the crowning of America's next drag superstar,
34:56these four queens are the perfect balance of sugar, spice, and everything nice.
35:01Oh, and, um, chickens, too.
35:03Take a look.
35:04I hope you girls got a sweet tooth, because candy's in the motherfucking house.
35:09Candy is hot.
35:10Candy is condense.
35:11If you touch her too close, you might get burned.
35:13I think this runway is right on my alley.
35:17Well, it's about time.
35:19I do drag because I have the yearning for old Hollywood glamour.
35:22I'm a starlet on the rise.
35:24There's a man on the wing of the play.
35:26Tramp.
35:27You're the Meryl Streep of drag.
35:29It's all so surreal.
35:30My name is Jaden Dior.
35:32Fierce.
35:33How y'all doing?
35:34Because I am what?
35:36Fierce.
35:37Work that puss.
35:38I have not officially come out to my family yet.
35:41I think it may change my relationship, and that's what I'm scared of most.
35:46My brand is runway shows, fashion magazines, beyond this planet beautiful.
35:51Should I not talk about my feelings, or should I just, I mean, obviously just keep moving on?
35:55It's not the right place.
35:55I feel like I'm dating you.
35:56How's your head?
35:57How is your head?
35:59How's your head?
36:01Fine.
36:08That's how I talk to chickens.
36:12So, Candy Ho, I hear that you are thinking about leaving Puerto Rico?
36:17I am.
36:18It's scándalo.
36:19I see.
36:20I love Puerto Rico, and I've been there since I was 10.
36:23But, um...
36:23Where were you before?
36:25Connecticut.
36:26Connecticut.
36:31You're a liar.
36:33Like, yeah, I guess I'm a fake Puerto Rican, right?
36:35Okay, all right.
36:36So, what would you have done differently?
36:38I probably would have painted on a beard.
36:40I look like a Neapolitan ice cream.
36:44Do you do your own makeup?
36:45I started doing my makeup, like, a month before auditioning for the show.
36:49I mean, in Puerto Rico, like, we just go up to our fabulous makeup artist, and we're like,
36:53paint me, do my hair, dress me up, and I'm gone, so...
36:56Yeah.
36:56It's like, my mistake, sorry.
36:58Yeah.
36:59Listen, Candy, my dear, you are one of my favorite hoes, and...
37:03That's saying a lot, because I know a lot of hoes.
37:07All right, next, the Silver Fox of season seven, Max.
37:12Yes.
37:13Now, this season, when the queens were talking about sex, you weren't having it at all.
37:18You were like...
37:18Listen, when you're with these girls, they don't talk about anything else besides sex.
37:23But I was just, I was tired of it for a moment, just for a moment.
37:25Okay.
37:25I really, I'm not, I'm not that big of a prude, honest to goodness.
37:29So, now, you coached Jaden and Pearl through a few tense moments.
37:33Tell us about that.
37:34Well, Jaden is an actress.
37:36She is a performer.
37:37For her to say that I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, that was nerves, and I knew it.
37:40So we had to calm down.
37:41Pearl had to calm down.
37:42We had to regroup, and then we had to go kill it.
37:45I love it.
37:46That's great.
37:46That's great advice.
37:48Well, Max, when it comes to my feelings for you, there are no gray areas.
37:57Up next, Jaden Dior Fierce.
38:02What surprised you the most about being on the show?
38:06Well, I didn't think we were going to be locked up so much.
38:10Yeah.
38:10Use your question.
38:11That was, that was something, I was imagining myself going out to dinner with you, darling.
38:15I thought we were going to get to go on Hollywood Boulevard, get some munchies, some cauliflower
38:19cornbread, green beans, a turkey, and I wasn't able to do that.
38:24I was sitting in my hotel room, beating myself up, and eating Doritos.
38:29And that's different from your normal life.
38:35Now, on a personal note, you revealed that your mother and your brother knew that you did
38:39drag, but they didn't know that you were gay.
38:42Has that changed?
38:43Where's that right now?
38:44Well, I think it was, she didn't want me to be that way.
38:48I don't think they understand, you know, fully what, who a gay person is.
38:53Well, that's funny, because we have a little surprise for you.
38:56Take a look at this.
38:58Surprise, surprise!
39:01I didn't get a chance to talk to you.
39:04You had some concerns.
39:06I've experienced rejection in my life, as you know, so it's very hard for me to reject mine,
39:12because I know how hurtful and painful rejection is.
39:16You know, this is not a battle.
39:17It's just one thing that we're just going to learn to just go ahead and do what we do,
39:24and that's love one another, be a family.
39:25And my love is not based on what you do.
39:28My love is based on who you are, and you're my precious, handsome sister.
39:42What are you feeling right now?
39:43I feel like my family is now going to be able to get to know who I really am after
39:4926 years of my life.
39:53If I don't get anything else, I've got the peace and the freedom to be who I am around my
39:59family and to be happy.
40:02RuPaul's Drag Race still bringing families together.
40:05Hello.
40:07RuPaul's Drag Race still bringing families together.
40:08All right.
40:09Up next, Miss Fame Girl.
40:12Hi.
40:13Hi.
40:17By the way, how's your head?
40:19Well, there have been a few complaints.
40:21What?
40:24You and Katya came clean about being sober, and what's the reaction been?
40:29You know what?
40:29I've had so many people write me personal stories about how much time they had, how inspiring it was.
40:35It's just a dream come true to be able to walk through the obstacle of addiction and be able to
40:41live your life.
40:48Now, Miss Fame, all season long, you are serving fierce couture, gorgeous fashions, and the only thing people want to
40:54talk to you about are chickens.
40:56You know what?
40:56I'm not mad about it.
40:57At least they're talking to me shit.
40:58Yeah.
40:59I grew up on a farm where there was nobody else but the chickens, so...
41:01Hey, can you talk a little chicken to me right now?
41:03I can talk chicken to you, but I think it's best I have a special guest come out to help
41:08me do that.
41:09Is Colonel Sanders here?
41:10Hold on one moment.
41:12Colonel Sanders?
41:14I thought he was dead.
41:18Oh, my God, you fucking bitch.
41:20Gorgeous.
41:21She's got bigger hair than me tonight.
41:23Do you do tricks with it or anything?
41:25Well, I'm afraid of it shitting on my couture.
41:27Oh, dear.
41:29Miss Fame, whether it's fashion or poultry, you have a bright future ahead of you.
41:33Just don't cluck it up, okay?
41:35I promise I won't.
41:36Okay.
41:40It's not too late to make some noise for your favorite top three queens.
41:44Coming up, Trixie Mattel, Katya, and Kennedy Davenport's silver tea.
41:49And this year's Miss Congeniality is revealed.
41:58Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
42:01We are moments away from finding out if Ginger Pearl or Violet Tchotchke will be crowned America's next drag superstar.
42:09But first, some fierce contenders that gave our top three a real run for their money.
42:15Let's take a look.
42:16This isn't Maury Povich.
42:18Drag queens always say, paint for the back row.
42:20I paint for the check cashing place down the street.
42:23If you're going to be the comedy queen, you got to go all the way.
42:26You're right, girl.
42:27You're right.
42:29I'm back.
42:30Good evening to sing this channel of judges.
42:32Sashay away.
42:33All right, public school, calm down.
42:37I'm just your average run-of-the-mill Russian bisexual transvestite hooker.
42:43Feel the heat on my sizzling meat.
42:46I'm not going anywhere.
42:48Ru and I are great friends.
42:50Miss Bane did our makeup.
42:52When do I get to blow them?
42:54I can't say that.
42:55I can't say that either.
42:56Well, hello.
42:58I'm Kennedy Davenport.
42:59I spin, I flip, I jump off the stage in six-inch heels.
43:05Kennedy, did you rehearse your team?
43:06That was a rough spot.
43:09Next.
43:11Kennedy Davenport!
43:14Jazz shuttle!
43:16Newark, LaGuardia, Kennedy Davenport.
43:19And I'm gonna tap it.
43:22So, Trixie Mattel, when you first left,
43:26you know, when cray-cray, what was that like?
43:30I felt very supported and loved.
43:31I felt like less of a loser.
43:33Well, see, now losing is the new winning.
43:35Yes!
43:36What's your life been like since Drag Race?
43:39Oh, my gosh.
43:39If I never get a chance again, I have to thank you,
43:41because you reached into my little blonde pink life
43:45and it changes so much.
43:51I'm glad you got to experience this.
43:53Now, I hear you do a mean RuPaul impersonation.
43:56I could never.
43:59Let me hear it.
44:00Let me see what you...
44:02Trixie Mattel, on the runway, you're a doll,
44:04but your comedy seems manufactured.
44:11Are you mad?
44:12Trixie Mattel, stashé away.
44:15Three times, three times.
44:19Next up, Katya.
44:29So, Katya, now all season long,
44:31you were plagued with doubt.
44:33What was going on?
44:34I was terrified the whole fucking time.
44:37Really?
44:37Ru, Paul, you are sitting there.
44:40I see you, but I want to tackle you to the ground.
44:44Uh-huh.
44:45Yeah?
44:45I want to stuff your entire wig inside my mouth.
44:48Okay, yeah.
44:49And I want you to pee on me.
44:51Okay.
44:53And listen, and listen, and listen.
44:55The first time you came over to me in the workroom,
44:56I was, like, waiting my whole life for this interaction.
44:59Sure.
44:59And then, I don't know.
45:00There's something in my brain that said,
45:02she wants to kill you.
45:05And, of course, I know you don't want to kill you.
45:07I mean, I'm 98% sure at least.
45:09No, I did want to kill you.
45:11No, I, and then, I just couldn't, I don't know.
45:14But now, having seen the show,
45:16do you see that there's, it's unfounded,
45:17that you have no reason to doubt yourself?
45:19Do you see how fabulous you were?
45:21Watching the show has, like, given me self-esteem.
45:26Woo!
45:28So, thank you so much, Ru.
45:31Katya, you are a freak.
45:32And I friggin' love you.
45:36Oh, my God.
45:38That's right.
45:41All right.
45:42Up next, LaGuardia Newer Kennedy.
45:49Now, Kennedy, when I started saying that,
45:52I had no idea that you would actually fly off the main stage.
45:57Have you ever heard between me down there?
45:59No, I mean, I'm a trained dancer.
46:02You mean dancer.
46:03Dan-sa.
46:04Yes.
46:05So, I did the necessary things to stretch and stuff to make sure that did not happen.
46:09But there's more down there that could get hurt.
46:12Yeah, way more than Katya.
46:18It's true.
46:20Yeah.
46:22Now, you know, throughout the season, we joked about the struggle is real.
46:24That became one of your taglines.
46:26But in your family, in your background, that's a reality.
46:29I know that you recently reunited with your mother after a long separation.
46:34My mother been in and out.
46:36My dad got custody when I was two years old, and my sister was two months.
46:42And she would make me mad because she said she would come into the house, and she never came.
46:46And she was in and out.
46:47She was in her own journey.
46:49But she's here tonight with you.
46:50Is that right?

47:10in concert, live, it will give you life.

47:16Yes.
47:17It's true.
47:19Now it's time for some viewer questions.
47:21Who's first?
47:22Hi.
47:24I have a question for Trixie.
47:26Uh-huh.
47:27From Sarah.
47:28Yeah.
47:29You and Max knew each other in college.
47:32Did Max speak with that fake-ass British accent then?
47:42I don't think she did.
47:43But I've never been to that area of Wisconsin, so maybe they all talk that way.
47:47Yeah, that's true.
47:48It's just an allocution thing.
47:49Addiction and an allocution thing.
47:51It's not an accent.
47:52What'd she say?
47:52She says an allocution, not an accent.
47:56Allocution?
47:56Uh-huh.
47:58Yeah.
48:00And she's from Inglewood.
48:01Yeah.
48:02I know her.
48:03I know her.
48:04I went to high school with her.
48:05Yeah.
48:08Well, Delta work.
48:09You better work.
48:10So I have a question from Amy in Boston.
48:13If there's an All-Stars 2, which queen from season 7 deserves to compete?
48:18Kennedy, who would you condone?
48:21Nominate.
48:22Who would you nominate?
48:27To be honest, and to answer the question, I really would choose Katya.
