00:13Ladies, are you ready to spill the tea, the whole tea, and nothing but the tea?
00:18Now, drag race trends on social media across these United States and around the world.
00:25Hashtag drag race.
00:26But, one season 10 queen was a true viral sensation.
00:31Take a look.
00:32Sashay away.
00:34Miss Vanjie.
00:36Miss Vanjie.
00:37Miss Vanjie.
00:40Work the job!
00:43What was that?
00:45Vanjie.
00:46Miss Vanjie.
00:49Vanjie.
00:50Vanjie.
00:51Vanjie.
00:52Vanjie.
00:53Vanjie.
00:54Vanjie.
00:54Vanjie.
00:55Vanjie.
00:56Miss Vanjie.
00:57Don't you start with me, Michelle?
00:59Vanjie.
01:01Vanjie.
01:01Miss Vanjie.
01:04Miss Vanjie.
01:06Yes, mama!
01:07Vanjie.
01:10Miss Vanjie.
01:13Miss Vanjie.
01:15Miss Vanjie.
01:16You're fast.
01:18Miss Vanjie.
01:19Oh my goodness.
01:22Now, Vanjie, what were you thinking when you were exiting?
01:26What was going on in your head?
01:28Truth be told, girl, in my head I was not going to go home, so I did not prepare no
01:32message
01:32to leave.
01:33Okay.
01:34Had you ever used Vanjie before to exit or to say hello or...
01:38Why?
01:39Well, Vanjie's all multi-purpose thing.
01:40You can use it for whatever.
01:41It's like gay aloha now.
01:43It's like, hello, goodbye, and thank you.
01:45People even send me videos of them intercoursing, and they say, I'm getting Vanjie.
01:49Intercoursing.
01:50Intercoursing, is that what you said?
01:51Intercoursing.
01:52On Instagram, yeah.
01:53So now I'd be scared to open up my DMs.
01:55But they sent me one.
01:55They say, I'm getting Vanjie.
01:58So where has this taken you?
02:00Have you traveled the world?
02:01Have you made lots of money?
02:02Well, originally I was like, well, I need to get all my bookings quick.
02:05Wait, get the bookings quick because you thought you would be forgotten?
02:08Right, because I got sent home first, so I was like, girl, this is my little 15.
02:12So take your 15 and act like you was there the whole time.
02:16So when the promos and everything came out, I said, yeah, I made a show.
02:18You want to book me?
02:19Like, I didn't, you know, there was no ifs, ands, or buts.
02:21I said, I'll be there.
02:22Right.
02:23So where were you when you realized this thing had really blown up?
02:27I was in Denver, Colorado with Dusty.
02:29We were doing a booking.
02:30That audience just started going, Vanjie.
02:32The cookies they threw at her on the stage.
02:37I was ducking and dodging the cookies, but I felt the love, even though I felt like they
02:40might be trying to attack me.
02:42But it was, I knew it was all with love.
02:44I heard you met Lil' Kim.
02:46Um, yeah, Lil' Kim came up to me and said, Miss Vanjie, Miss Vanjie, I know who you are.
02:50I know my face hit the ground.
02:51I'm trying to come out with a single with her, because if we come out with one, it's going
02:55to be a shutdown, and they don't even want us to do a video together, because then we're
02:57really going to be, I'm going to go viral again for the wrong reasons.
03:00Now, Callery, Callery, you were standing right next to her when this whole sensation started.
03:06Do you claim responsibility for the whole Vanjie phenomenon?
03:09I own 20% of this company.
03:12I see.
03:13So, had you not sent her home, the Vanjie thing would have never happened.
03:17Exactly, exactly.
03:18Thank you, Callery.
03:19No, I love Vanjie.
03:20It was heartbreaking to send her, but I couldn't be more happy for her success.
03:23Yeah, well, Vanjie, you have given everyone around the world so much to be excited about,
03:28and I have a very special message to your drag mother, Alexis Mateo.
03:33Bam!
03:34Yes!
03:35Well, next week at the grand finale, a lip sync smackdown will determine who wins the crown,
03:41but all epic lip syncs in drag race herstory.
03:47Let's start with Monet X Change and Dusty Ray Bottoms.
04:00Oh, my goodness.
04:02Oh, my goodness.
04:03Dusty, what was going through your mind at that time?
04:05Going into this lip sync, knowing that Nicki Minaj is something that is in Monet's wheelhouse,
04:09that she does maybe seven, eight times a week, was very intimidating.
04:14I mean, I do, like, weird musical theater and punk rock and classic rock music,
04:18so I stood up all night memorizing that rap, and you know what?
04:21I gave it everything I had that day.
04:25Now, Monet, your fake death drop was legendary.
04:28Did you know you were going to do that fake out?
04:30I did not.
04:30I did not.
04:30It was just in the moment.
04:31It was just in the moment.
04:32I was like, who knows what?
04:33Dusty might do some crazy ass and send my raggedy ass home
04:36and had to roll my three broken suitcases across LAX,
04:39so I was like, I need to really turn it out and do something crazy to make RuPaul laugh.
04:44Uh-huh.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Up next, Monique versus the Vixen when they cut to the feeling.
04:49Really?
04:50Didn't we watch this already?
04:56She don't know the words!
05:00Girl, why did you know your words?
05:02Because I stayed up working on that damn costume.
05:04That costume right there?
05:05That costume.
05:05Was the outfit worth a notch?
05:07Clearly, it was not.
05:08Ha ha ha!
05:10So, in that moment, what was going through your head?
05:12The hardest thing on Drag Race is how you go home.
05:15Right.
05:15To get to this competition and then to F up the very thing that you do.
05:20Yeah.
05:20How you pay your bills.
05:22And I tried to do a cartwheel, and then it was like, oh, don't kick her.
05:25So, let's pull those legs in.
05:26Yeah, but your wig fell off, too.
05:27Hey.
05:30Have you had a wig fall off in a performance before?
05:32Multiple times.
05:33Multiple times?
05:33Multiple times.
05:34But it doesn't bother you.
05:35To be perfectly honest, America, cameraman, zoom in.
05:37This bitch is forever editing and directing this mother f***ing show.
05:41Didn't you keep going?
05:42America's song after that, kept going.
05:44Was the song over?
05:44No.
05:45Ha ha ha!
05:47Next, Eureka versus Cameron Michaels, which ended in a rare double save.
05:52You never knew I had such a lesson to me.
05:56I'm feeling good from my head to the moon.
05:59Know where I'm going, and I know what to do.
06:03Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
06:04Oh, my goodness!
06:06Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
06:06Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
06:08Ladies, that is what you call a lip sync for your life, and that is why no one is going
06:14home tonight.
06:15Ha ha ha!
06:17Oh, my goodness.
06:19Eureka, what was that moment like for you?
06:20The moment when you gagged the fudge out of me, that was scary as hell.
06:24In that moment, I was like, girl, I got to show the judges that I'm not going to f***
06:27up again, and I can't, and I had to get out of my head and just be like, you can
06:30do it.
06:31So you got a new attitude after that.
06:32I mean, I had a whole new moth*** attitude after that.
06:35Okay.
06:35Aquaria, you were upset that there was a double save because you felt that bitches need
06:39to be peeling off to make more room for your ascendance.
06:43Well, that is definitely, as far as I know, like, there's never been, like, two double
06:48saves in a season before, so I'm like, well, crap, what if, you know, this was a week I
06:54thought I was going to do poorly, potentially.
06:56What if next week is the week that I actually do poorly?
06:59Yeah.
06:59And, you know, it's me against someone who's turning it out just a little bit more than
07:03me, and now Aquaria's time.
07:04We've already used the double save.
07:05Yeah.
07:05Yeah.
07:06I want to talk about another lip sync right now.
07:08This one is between Nasty Girls, Cameron Michaels, and Ms. Cracker.
07:12Disgusting girls.
07:13Take a look.
07:14Dance, Nasty Girls.
07:16Dance.
07:17Everybody.
07:19It's time to jam.
07:22Nasty Girls.
07:23Dance, dance, dance.
07:25Cameron, was this a pivotal moment for you, this lip sync?
07:29I think you can see it on my face that I was very surprised.
07:31Because most girls don't get past three.
07:32Most girls do not get the third one, and at the same time, I'm a performer, and that's
07:36what I do best.
07:37And for me to give up, it wouldn't be who I am as a person.
07:40For people my age, we know that song is a super sexy song, and you chose to do it as
07:44a super sexy song.
07:45And you chose to do it as a comedic turn.
07:48Oh, absolutely.
07:49Do you regret doing that?
07:50No.
07:51You not at all?
07:51Because I have found when I perform that when I try to be sexy and serious, it looks even
07:56more ridiculous.
07:58I am built like R2-D2.
07:59I just have, I'm like a trash can on wheels.
08:01My legs are this long.
08:02If I tried to do what Cameron did, I would have lost harder.
08:05Do you know what I mean?
08:06Yeah.
08:07Well, you made it top five.
08:08Damn it.
08:09Bottom ten, everybody.
08:10I'm fine with that.
08:12Now, after the break, we'll talk to the vixen about her most confrontational moments.
08:16Stay tuned.
08:17Coming up.
08:18You said it from your mouth.
08:19I said, no.
08:21Everybody's telling me how I should react, but nobody's telling her how to act.
08:32Drag Race is a microcosm of what's going on in the world today.
08:36And when people don't see eye to eye, things can get real.
08:40Now, the vixen, you said you came to fight, and fight you did.
08:45Let's take a look.
08:46Someone brought up the fact that Cracker and my face looked very similar today.
08:52May have had some situations like that in the past.
08:55Like, it doesn't bother me.
08:57It's no, like...
08:58No.
08:58Too vague.
08:59So what happened was...
09:01She said...
09:02Well, this is what happened.
09:03No, excuse me.
09:04This is what happened.
09:05All this, well, I kind of felt like...
09:07No.
09:08This is what happened.
09:09We all know these two heifers look alike.
09:11You was bothered that she was doing the same face as you.
09:13You was mad.
09:14Be mad for her face.
09:15Vixen, shut the f*** up.
09:16This is what had happened.
09:18You interjected, and you got everything all fired up.
09:20So why didn't they set me speaking up right now for you to say it?
09:22I guess you do need your moment.
09:28I am over it.
09:30This is none of the vixen's f***ing business.
09:32You done ran across the whole room, girl.
09:35Scared.
09:35Fed.
09:37Do you regret bringing that up, that whole confrontation?
09:40No, absolutely not.
09:41In Untucked, the girls had convinced me to believe that Cracker was this monster.
09:46Okay, don't say the girls.
09:47Don't say the girls.
09:47That's too vague.
09:48Even better, even better.
09:50At the time, Monet and Aquaria had convinced me to believe that Cracker had worked her way
09:56into this competition.
09:57Monet convinced you that Cracker worked her way into what?
10:01Please be clear, because that was never my point of view on that.
10:03I was very vocal in saying that I never felt that Cracker faked her way to Drag Race,
10:07because I feel like Cracker was a very successful queen in New York City,
10:10and Cracker is f***ing fierce.
10:11I want to make that very clear.
10:12So, as it showed on television, because it did air,
10:14where Monet and Aquaria said that this has been going on for years.
10:20So, based on what Monet and Aquaria said,
10:24I felt that Cracker had faked her way to the competition.
10:27So, when Aquaria wasn't copying up to what she said,
10:29I felt bad, because now I've believed all these bad things about her,
10:33and now she's backing away from the story that I was showing.
10:35But why did you bring it up?
10:35Were you trying to stir the pot to sort of throw them off their game?
10:39Not at all.
10:39I kind of felt like, girl, I need to tell you the truth.
10:42So, Aquaria, why did you run away?
10:44I realized that I wouldn't be able to say what I meant to say.
10:47I was very overwhelmed, and I didn't have the words to describe that I didn't mean to be vague,
10:53just to bl*** Miss Cracker.
10:54This was something that I didn't want to disrespect Miss Cracker with to her face,
10:58and I can understand how that...
10:59Only behind her back.
11:01Well, no, no, I can see how casually I said it behind her back,
11:07contradicted how I wanted to take care of it in front of her face.
11:11Did you ultimately have that conversation with Miss Cracker?
11:14We did at the end of the day, after we were done getting out of drag.
11:17Really quickly, I was like, that was a lot.
11:20Let's just move on.
11:22You be the best Cracker you can be.
11:23I be the best Aquaria I can be.
11:26Aquaria and I are like real sisters, in that we resent each other.
11:30I think what we agreed was that was ugly.
11:33And, you know, we didn't go back and heal things or sort things out or vixen our positions.
11:38But, do you know what I mean?
11:40Oh, is vixen an adjective like Vanjie?
11:43Yeah.
11:44Get the popcorn.
11:45I was like, if someone doesn't give me everything in my order when I open the bag,
11:48I'm like, I'm about to go back and vixen this bitch.
11:49Do you know what I mean?
11:51So we didn't vixen it out, but we agreed that we did not want this to be a part of
11:57our story.
11:58Now, Aquaria wasn't the only one who poked the bear.
12:01Let's take a look at this.
12:03Do y'all hear me?
12:03I just, I'm getting tired of hearing you talk, honestly.
12:05Can I go smoke?
12:06If you need to go smoke, just say that.
12:08You didn't laugh.
12:09I ain't even arguing.
12:10I'm big as hell and I want to go smoke a cigarette.
12:12And I'm going to go smoke me a cigarette.
12:13I just feel like you have more respect for other people than me.
12:15I don't think it's fair that you get to say that and then walk away.
12:17I don't think it's fair that you get to be respectful to other people more than you are me.
12:20And I've been nothing but nice to you and even get ready besides you, girl.
12:24Girl, she can say or do the exact same thing that I say or do.
12:27And you act like she didn't do.
12:28First of all, I am your mother.
12:29What the f*** you talking about, bitch?
12:31You ain't my mama.
12:32Because you acting like I have some baby.
12:33You're a grown-ass man.
12:35Really, girl?
12:35I do not owe you any more than anybody else.
12:37You just want someone to fight with.
12:38I don't need to fight with you.
12:40You are picking this fight right now.
12:41This is my problem with you.
12:43You and Aquaria are the same.
12:44You're the same way.
12:44No, you are exactly the girl that I did not like on season nine.
12:47You don't know me, girl.
12:48And see the good in you.
12:49But you know what?
12:50You are another b***h who doesn't know when to let somebody else talk.
12:53You think that your problems are the only problems.
12:56Okay.
12:56B***h, get your s*** together.
12:57Some b***h says one negative thing and you want to b***h the f*** out.
13:01Really?
13:02Cuss at me, b***h.
13:04I do like you as a person.
13:05And baby, no, I'm not going.
13:09Oh my goodness.
13:11Vixen, Eureka, what was it like watching all that back?
13:19Oh, now you're silent?
13:21Now you ain't got nothing to say?
13:23Now that I've seen it a hundred times, it's a lot easier.
13:26But seeing it at first, it was very hard to watch.
13:28Why?
13:29Because honestly, in my whole life, I've never seen myself that hurt or upset.
13:34Would other people say the same thing about you?
13:36Yes.
13:37My boyfriend of three years said that that was the most bothered in any way that he's ever seen me.
13:43Really?
13:44What about you?
13:44I was getting a lot of attention from several people up to that point, but most specifically the Vixen.
13:49And I just didn't feel like I was being allowed to be a part of the group with a couple
13:53of the girls.
13:54And it was like when I had opinions, I would be cut off.
13:57And what I was saying didn't seem like it came across important.
14:01And so I got a little defensive.
14:03That's a little defensive for you?
14:04Oh, well, so I got really motherf***ing defensive.
14:07Yeah.
14:08Do you stand by what you said?
14:09Go have your cigarette?
14:11You said a little bit more than go have your cigarette.
14:13Well, okay.
14:14So every time there was a little awkward thing that happened between me and Eureka, I tried to push it
14:19away, pay it.
14:20So by that point, I had like tried as hard as I can to be non-confrontational.
14:27So all the fives were out the window and 10 was here.
14:30And so I can't regret it because I know that I did everything I could to avoid it.
14:33Do you stand by what you said?
14:35I, I, yes.
14:37All right.
14:37All right.
14:38Do you stand by what you said?
14:39Not completely.
14:40No.
14:40I don't stand by the direction I went about talking about it.
14:43You know, maybe I could have been like, girl, what's going on?
14:45You know, maybe instead of being immediately defensive.
14:48But as far as like defending myself in the moment, I stand beside what I said in that case.
14:52But I don't think you should say that it's defending yourself because you weren't defending yourself.
14:57You said yourself that you were attacking me.
14:58So you, you poked at me until you got me upset enough to make you look like the victim.
15:05No, my decision was never to attack you.
15:06No, that's what happened.
15:07No, I never said attack, darling.
15:08There's a camera.
15:09That's what happened.
15:10There is a camera and I never said attack.
15:11You said it from your mouth.
15:13I said, no, you said, you said testing.
15:16This is exactly what I said.
15:17I just wanted to test her because I could tell that she had something against me, blah, blah, blah, blah,
15:21blah.
15:21When you walked away from that argument, you were smiling.
15:23It wasn't fair that I did that to you.
15:24You were happy that you got me.
15:25And it wasn't okay.
15:26And you did got me.
15:26Listen, you got me.
15:27Do you feel differently now than you did about your relationship with Eureka?
15:32No, because I sat at home for months believing that I made that happen, that it was my fault
15:37that all of that happened.
15:39And so I had to sit with that and think that, oh, I'm this monster.
15:42It's going to come out that I'm like just this testy bitch who can't keep it under control.
15:46And then I find out that she wanted me to go there.
15:49She took me there on purpose.
15:50Even before that, I knew that I had issues in my own mind with Eureka and I was trying every
15:55day to make it, to keep it cool.
15:57But you took it to the worst possible level.
16:00Yeah, but that's like saying, you know, eat the cake anime.
16:03Oh, so it's, so it is my fault?
16:05You had a choice.
16:06Wait, how is it saying?
16:06To react to it?
16:07How?
16:07I don't get the eat the cake anime thing at all.
16:09It's like saying you made me do that.
16:11I think what Rue is trying to say is that you do not have to accept the goad when you
16:15are goaded.
16:16Yeah, but I think the problem is there's now five of us talking to the vixen, telling her why you
16:20don't have to do that.
16:21Yeah, everybody's telling me how I should react, but nobody's telling her how to act.
16:24And listen, you're not off the hook either, Eureka.
16:26Everybody has choices to take the bait or to poke the bear.
16:31That's the truth.
16:32Yeah, but do you admit that you have a problem being able to not say anything?
16:38If somebody says anything to you, you're going to respond to it.
16:41Yeah, and it's honestly, it really is something I've tried to work on as far as like the thinking people
16:45all have to do.
16:45It's not something you have to work on.
16:47It's just something you just have to do.
16:48Yeah.
16:50Can I say what I wanted to say?
16:52What else do you want to say?
16:53We talked about it, and I thought that we moved on, and that's all I want, ultimately.
16:57I did apologize for that because I acted like a foolish bitch, and I tried to come at you because
17:02I was feeling sensitive.
17:03And it wasn't cool that we ended up in a heated, nasty argument.
17:06But the next day we talked about it.
17:07You told me that we were okay to move on, and that's really what I want.
17:11There was a lie in there.
17:12The next day, I remember getting to the studio the next day, and you pulling me to the side and
17:17saying,
17:18Girl, so how do we want to handle this?
17:20And that was the moment that I knew that everything you had done was intentional,
17:23and that you were also going to produce how we fixed it.
17:26And that is why, throughout the competition, I never trusted you again.
17:29I never wanted to deal with you again.
17:30But you came into the competition saying, I came to fight.
17:33And, you know, it's not like you were...
17:35Okay, so I came into the competition saying that I came to fight.
17:38Never once in this competition did I start a fight.
17:40Wait, is that true?
17:41It looked like you were instigating things.
17:43What did I instigate?
17:45Well, this thing between Miss Cracker and Aquaria.
17:47It's not instigating to tell someone the truth.
17:49It's not instigating to tell someone the truth.
17:49You can also not say anything.
17:51You could, but what's wrong with telling someone the truth?
17:54Well, if you're going to tell the truth, and it's going to create tension in the room,
17:57then that is creating a fight.
17:58You also have a choice to not say anything.
18:02Okay, so I came here to thank my fans for the love and support that they gave me,
18:08for all the wonderful people who relate to me, understand me, and appreciate me.
18:13And now that I've done that, y'all can have a good night.
18:15Wait, wait, Vixen, wait, Vixen, wait, Vixen, wait, okay, Vixen.
18:21Coming up, can you explain to someone who cannot be spoken to?
18:25It's just ridiculous.
18:26Look at me, look at me, goddammit.
18:27I come from the same goddamn place she comes from.
18:39Welcome back to RuPaul's Drag Race Reunited.
18:41Now, unfortunately, the Vixen has decided to not rejoin us.
18:45But before moving on, does anyone have anything they'd like to say about this situation?
18:51I don't think it was the best thing to do, but I do think her getting up and leaving
18:55was her way of separating herself from a situation where either, A, she was going to either have to fight,
19:00or leave the room.
19:01I disagree.
19:02I really do.
19:03There's still a way to have a conversation without having to do that, though.
19:07Agreed, agreed.
19:08If she would just sit there and just say, you know what, let me take a moment, breathe,
19:14think about what I'm about to say,
19:15so that I can get my message across, everyone at home can understand her more.
19:21She walked out of the room because she does not know what else to do.
19:24And it's our job as people to try and help her through a situation that it's clear that she's struggling
19:28through.
19:29Listen, as a community, we do have responsibility to each other.
19:32But each of us, we are all adults.
19:34At one point, you got to say, there is nothing else I can do.
19:38Each of us have had people in our lives who you realize,
19:41I can't do anything for this person unless they want to meet me halfway.
19:47Valid.
19:47But I also feel like earned authority is real.
19:50Accepting love is something that's really important just as much as giving love.
19:52But what I don't understand is,
19:53why do we just automatically expect everybody to understand that?
19:56I don't agree with everything that the vixen says or does,
19:59but I understand where it comes from.
20:01And I think the vixen seems to me like a person that's crying out for help.
20:08And it's like, everybody else is like, girl, that's on you.
20:12You got to figure it out.
20:13And I just, that's just unfortunate to me.
20:17Like, I feel like our sole purpose here is to, you know, enrich the lives of other people.
20:21And even if I'm met with controversy or whatnot,
20:24I can do that every day because 20 years down the road, we've got something.
20:29Then it's because, you know, I was persistent in trying to make your life better.
20:33Listen, I love the girl.
20:34In fact, I invited her on the first plane because I felt her voice needed to be heard.
20:37But at one point, and you've seen this with your friends back home,
20:40at one point, sometimes you got to let people go,
20:43whether it's anger or whatever the issue is,
20:46because it's not a two-way street.
20:50It's one-sided.
20:51And that's where we are.
20:53It's a one-sided conversation.
20:55She decides she's going to give the last word and walk out.
20:57So there, it's done.
20:58It's just ridiculous.
20:59It's just ridiculous.
21:00Like, it's ridiculous that our thought process about people is so self-centered
21:06that if it's hard to help somebody, we'll just let them struggle.
21:11We're not just drag queens.
21:13We're people.
21:13And now we've got one of our people outside.
21:16Here we are filming during Pride season,
21:18and we let one of our sisters walk out the f***ing room
21:21because nobody wanted to f***ing help her.
21:23And we're the first people.
21:24We are the first people to say that people are treating us right.
21:29Do you think there's anything we could have said to the Vixen to make her stay?
21:32It's not about what we say.
21:33It's about what we do.
21:34What could we have done?
21:35If I had got up and walked to that door and said to the Vixen, we need you to stay.
21:40But the fact that we, including myself, let her walk out, she, that door closed behind her,
21:45and she said, yeah, I guess I'm making the right choice.
21:49When Vixen decided to say, thank you, but I'm leaving,
21:52do you believe that she had already made up her mind?
21:54And clearly you don't believe she had already made up her mind that this is it.
21:59Because I believe when she said that, she was done.
22:01And there was nothing anyone could do to stop her.
22:04I mean, you've had discussions with her.
22:05In fact, we saw you have a lovely discussion with her
22:08where we actually got to see the sweetness in him.
22:10And I saw the fear.
22:11And I saw all of that.
22:12And I understood why that wall was put up.
22:15Because I have that wall.
22:16You have it.
22:16You have it.
22:17We all have it.
22:18And it's coming from a hurt place.
22:19It is.
22:20But I can't teach her that.
22:23I can teach her through my own example.
22:25Of course you can.
22:25When am I going to go back and follow her and go say, come here, let me tell you something.
22:28Not at this moment.
22:29Can you explain to someone who cannot be spoken to?
22:33No, I don't expect you to do that.
22:34But look at me.
22:35Look at me, goddammit.
22:36I come from the same goddamned place she comes from.
22:39And here I am.
22:40You see me walking out?
22:41No, I'm not walking out.
22:42I learn how to act around people and how to deal with.
22:46I'm not walking out and saying, call y'all.
22:49You know, that's disrespectful to each of you.
22:52And I know you feel for her because you see yourself in her.
22:55Because we all have that same frustration.
22:57Let me tell you something.
22:58I have been discriminated against by white people for being black, by black people for being gay, by gay people
23:04for being too femme.
23:05Did I let that stop me from getting to this chair?
23:09No, I had to separate what I feel or what my impression of the situation is to put my focus
23:15on the goal.
23:16You can't just make excuses for bad behavior or for inconsiderate behavior.
23:21I invited each of you back here to my house, into my home.
23:26And if I'm invited to someone's home, I'm not going to disrespect their home.
23:29I'm not going to disrespect the invitation.
23:31You know, the world is hard.
23:34It's hard to live on this planet.
23:35But we all have to learn how to deal with it.
23:38But you've got to ask for help first.
23:41Listen, at the end of the day, we are all a drag family.
23:44And as you can see here tonight, it doesn't always come easy.
23:47I want you to take a look at this.
23:49My mom knocks on my door and says, uh, your dad just found something on your computer.
23:54They lost it.
23:55They took me to church.
23:56They got me exercise because they thought I was possessed by a gay demon.
24:01I was so confused after the whole thing went down because, was I straight now?
24:06Like, I had to go through therapy and I was on a track to go to straight camp.
24:15I was meeting with these pastors and he was like, in a homosexual relationship, you'll
24:19never find success.
24:20You'll never find love.
24:25And I stopped him and I went upstairs and I packed my car.
24:29I said, I can't do this anymore.
24:37Oh my goodness.
24:38You know, Dusty, I watched this at home and I busted out crying when I saw this.
24:44And you went through this thing that's so horrific.
24:48If you don't mind, would you tell us, what is conversion therapy?
24:51Conversion therapy is a cleanse and a confession.
24:54You go through this process where you have to literally list every person you've had a
24:58sexual experience with.
25:00And it's literally just this very humiliating process.
25:03It was really rough.
25:05And I just had to have a day where I said enough.
25:07How did you find the strength to do that?
25:10I've gone through some hardships as a kid.
25:12And I've always told myself that this moment is just for now.
25:15What I'm experiencing right now cannot last forever.
25:19So I know that there is a tomorrow and it will get better.
25:22I found creative outlets to immerse myself in for distractions.
25:26And the people who saw me shine that needed to be there for me became my tribe.
25:30And did that also mean leaving your family behind?
25:32I had to.
25:33Yeah.
25:33And do you speak with them?
25:35Since that day, they've apologized.
25:38We do not see eye to eye on homosexuality still, but we have moved on past that day.
25:44The things that we don't talk about is because we don't see each other as equal humans.
25:50Is it enough for you to just have your chosen family?
25:53Would that be enough for you?
25:59You know, I love my chosen family.
26:01I'm so very lucky.
26:06But it's just really hard to have strangers come up to you and say that I look up to you.
26:11I'm so proud of you.
26:12I'm cheering you on.
26:13And then you don't have those people that you wish were there the most saying we are proud of you.
26:18We are wearing the dusty shirt.
26:20We are posting you on our social media.
26:21We are there and I'm good.
26:24My life is good.
26:26It could just be better that way.
26:27That's all.
26:28You're a fabulous girl.
26:29Yeah.
26:30Love you, Dusty.
26:30Come on to the bottom, Sam.
26:32Well, thank you so much, Dusty, for your courage to tell that story.
26:36It's really helped a lot of people.
26:38Now, when we talk about queens with deep spiritual connections, we can't leave out Monique Hart.
26:44More with her when we return.
26:46Coming up, thinking that if I just prayed away, I'll finally be free.
26:51But to be 100% honest, it wasn't.
26:54It really wasn't.
26:55Have you spoken with your mother?
27:04Welcome back to RuPaul's Drag Race Reunited.
27:07Now, Dusty wasn't the only one who struggled with faith and family.
27:12Take a look.
27:12Being here and knowing that my mother can potentially watch the show and me being my most authentic self makes
27:18me very, like, uncomfortable.
27:20Really?
27:20Because I'm like, she's going to watch.
27:22And, like, I'm seriously, like, seriously fruity.
27:25You know what I mean?
27:26Is there no feeling of liberation in that at all?
27:29No, because I know my mother and I have to deal with her.
27:32And I'm trying to build a relationship with her at this point that she knows that I do drag.
27:41Monique, how old are you?
27:43I'm 31.
27:44You know, she knows, but, like, I'm grown and I don't, like, my mom is my everything.
27:49You know what I mean?
27:51And I didn't talk to her for, like, four years because you can't be black and gay.
27:58Like, you just can't.
28:00You just can't.
28:01You know what I mean?
28:02And then when you have such a strong, I'm fifth generation full-time ministry.
28:06This is, like, heresy.
28:08You know what I mean?
28:12Wow, that's deep.
28:15So, Monique, you can relate to Dusty.
28:18Yeah, the day that Dusty, Blair and Eureka and Aisha opened up about their spirituality,
28:23I really didn't because, like, I still kind of love this one that we call God and, you know,
28:28go by the name of Jesus, whatever.
28:29But to hear, again, the BS that you go through just trying to become your most authentic self,
28:36thinking that if I just pray it away or confess this name, like, I'll finally be free.
28:41But to be 100% honest, it wasn't.
28:44It really wasn't.
28:45It really was not until I put on a wig and a dress and I grabbed that mic and I
28:51saw this
28:52kid sitting across from me and, like, we had his dance party at Hamburger Mary's and
28:57he wanted to go up.
28:58And I said, know that you are loved and you are so worth it and go twirl, like, go give
29:03it to her and I knew that in that moment that, like, young black gay youth come up to you.
29:09Yeah.
29:10Because I wanted to be that boy, but I couldn't be that boy.
29:12So to be in a day and age where they can, that means so much.
29:17Like, it was all worth it.
29:19It was all worth it.
29:20All the pain.
29:21It was all worth it.
29:22Have you spoken with your mother?
29:25Um, I did.
29:28She wasn't, like, happy.
29:30And so I felt very alone and to come back to your room every night and just, you have
29:35friends, but you just, like, got them alone and it wasn't nobody but me, Jesus, and glitter
29:40and rhinestones.
29:41That was it.
29:43Like, Psalms went to this as he wraps himself in a garment of, like, Dolce can't do that.
29:47Versace can't do that.
29:48Like, ah, he lives for the ooh-ah-ah sensation.
29:50So when you know that you're free.
29:52And I'm sorry.
29:53No, this is right.
29:54This is it.
29:55This is it right here.
29:56This is it right here.
29:57Because what you're saying is you, through this journey of a lot of pain, you have found
30:02what the true meaning is.
30:05You just quoted the Bible.
30:06You just interpreted through your own path.
30:08You've understood what those words really mean.
30:11And you're absolutely right.
30:12Amen.
30:12Dress yourself up and go out there and celebrate.
30:15And your ministry helped this kid in Hamburger Mary's come into the light, walk into his own
30:21beauty, into his own light.
30:23But this is why this ministry of drag is so powerful.
30:26We can speak from so much pain and so much heartache and so much still frustration.
30:32But we can walk that walk.
30:34And you're doing it.
30:35You are doing it.
30:40Coming up.
30:40You have an interesting relationship with your parents.
30:43They still ask me, when are you going to bring back home a Chinese girlfriend?
30:46But don't they know that I am the girlfriend already?
30:58Welcome back to RuPaul's Drag Race Reunited.
31:00Now, there's something about the main stage that makes queens bare their souls.
31:05It's like a truth serum.
31:06But nobody is prepared for the startling confession of our dear Blair St. Clair.
31:12Let's take a look.
31:13Um, my first sexual experience, I was, um, raped at a college party.
31:24And from that, I've looked to find pretty things.
31:32Something I need to get over.
31:33But, um, I've tried to turn positive the best I can.
31:42So, Blair, in Untucked, you shared that this was the first time you had spoken about that.
31:47What made you decide to do it on this forum?
31:50You know, um, sometimes your heart knows when you're ready to talk before your brain does.
31:56Mm-hmm.
31:57And I don't even think my brain was fully capable of what I was doing at the moment.
32:00Yeah.
32:00When did you tell your mother?
32:02I had a conversation with my mother a few weeks after I got home from Drag Race.
32:06And we sat down and we talked about it.
32:08And that was probably harder than talking about it to the world.
32:13Telling the people that you love the most something traumatic about you is really difficult.
32:16And that's why I've held it in for so long, because I didn't even want to admit it to myself.
32:19Yeah.
32:20And in all the years before you revealed it on television, how had you been coping with that pain?
32:28You know, everyone has a different way of coping.
32:30And everyone has a different mechanism in what they do.
32:32And whenever I found pain, whenever I found hurt, frustration, anger, anything that was like a negative emotion, I would
32:37turn to alcohol.
32:39And I would drink in excess, something that I didn't realize was a problem until after coming home from Drag
32:45Race and recognizing that might be something that I can't control because I use to mask pain.
32:50Now I've been living a sober life since coming back from Drag Race.
32:55And thank you.
32:58And I can tell you that from what I've experienced in my spiritual growth is that I am a more
33:04humbled, caring, thoughtful person.
33:07And it has truly changed my life.
33:09How have fans reacted?
33:10Fans have been incredible.
33:12They've just been, and so have my sisters.
33:14You guys have just been so wonderful.
33:15And I think the best way to describe it is that I have gone through something so painful, so haunting
33:20and hurtful, but it's only been received back to me in so much love from everybody else.
33:25And it's just been so amazing for me to embrace that back.
33:27Thank you so much, Blair, for being so brave and for inspiring so many people.
33:32Opening up is always hard, especially when it comes to family.
33:36Let's take a look at this.
33:38In 2014, I won a small pageant in Brooklyn.
33:41The pageant was on Saturday.
33:42I wake up Monday morning with, like, 27 missed calls from my mom.
33:45I'm like, what happened?
33:46What is going on?
33:46They sent an article back to St. Lucia with me in drag on the cover of the newspaper, the only
33:52newspaper on the entire island.
33:53She called me.
33:54She was like, what is going on?
33:55Are you trans?
33:56You're gay?
33:57What is all this going on?
33:57I'm like, no.
33:58I was just doing it for a movie thing, and it got misconstrued.
34:02It was the craziest thing in my life, girl.
34:05In retrospect, I should have just said, hey, I'm a drag queen.
34:09But I, like, lied about it.
34:10And there's a small sliver of me that thinks that they might reject me, and that is why I don't
34:14want to say it.
34:16It's very scary.
34:19You talked about your Caribbean upbringing.
34:22Tell me about that.
34:23How did that affect you?
34:24Growing up in a small island like St. Lucia, there aren't lots of gay people.
34:28You don't see gay people on TV.
34:29You don't see gay people at the store.
34:30So, when I moved back to America, and I was thrust into New York City, where going to school on
34:35the two train,
34:36I'm seeing drag queens coming off their shift from work at 7 o'clock in the morning.
34:39It is like, it was a shock to me.
34:40And me, knowing that there was a small part of me that identified with that,
34:43and it was like a very haunting and daunting fear of mine to realize that, hey, I'm gay.
34:49But not just gay.
34:50I'm like the highest form of gay.
34:51I'm a drag queen.
34:52And it's like the megazord of being gay.
34:56I am a drag queen.
34:59Have they seen the show?
35:00I mean, she's still very worried about it.
35:02She won't say that I'm a drag queen.
35:03She's like, so that show you're doing, how are you doing on it yet?
35:06Are you still on it?
35:07And I'm like, yeah, ma, I'm still on.
35:10This was episode eight.
35:11I was still doing well.
35:13And I was like, yeah, ma, I'm still on there.
35:15She's like, well, I hope you go far.
35:16But she has not.
35:17Why do you think that is?
35:18Why do you think she is reluctant to watching you on the show?
35:21I think just from an Afro black perspective,
35:24like being gay and saying that you're homosexual and all those things,
35:27it's hard for black women and black moms to reconcile with
35:30because it often is demonized because she's at church every Sunday morning.
35:35And that is her devotion.
35:36So seeing that her son is amplifying all those fears
35:40that she has been preached at every Wednesday night at Bible study
35:43and every Thursday at choir practice,
35:44it's hard for her to accept that her son is that thing
35:49that she's been told to fear and it's not.
35:51Yeah, because at some level she'd have to deconstruct
35:54her whole belief system to accept what you're doing.
35:56Is there still a part of you inside that sort of demonizes
36:00being a drag queen to yourself?
36:02Yeah, you know, I feel old habits die hard.
36:05I went to church every Sunday morning and I was in choir
36:08and I still do sing at a choir in drag.
36:11Every Wednesday night I'm in full of drag.
36:13Oh, praise him.
36:15It's a very loving place.
36:17But the fact that my mom still can't say my son is a drag queen,
36:22I think it is that part of me that I know is that she is still
36:26probably really weary and airy of that fact.
36:29Yeah, yeah.
36:30All right.
36:30One last question about that.
36:32Does your whole family wear a pussycat wig?
36:39Ru, I do come from a very long lineage of the pussycat wigness.
36:42My grandmother, my great-great-grandmother,
36:44my great-great-great-grandfather, okay?
36:47That's Hattie Mae Exchange.
36:48That's Hattie Mae Exchange.
36:49He was a drag queen girl.
36:51That's Hattie Mae Exchange.
36:52I love it.
36:53Now, you have an interesting relationship with your parents.
36:56Is that correct?
36:56Yes, I grew up in a very, very conservative family.
37:00I am originally from China.
37:01And in China, we view drag queens as someone who is mentally ill,
37:07unstable, and crazy.
37:08That's true.
37:09So when I was growing up, I used to be very, very, very,
37:13very scared of drag until I discovered what drag was.
37:15And I put a wig on.
37:17I tried to play with all the colors on the makeup palette.
37:19And it made me so free.
37:21It made me so much more happier.
37:22It gave me confidence and determination.
37:24And it saved me as a person.
37:25And did you do it in secret?
37:27I did it in secret.
37:28I was 16 at the time.
37:29Where would you put the clothes on?
37:30I would sneak out and put the clothes on in the basement of the apartment
37:35that we lived in, near the garbage cans.
37:37Do your parents know that you do drag now?
37:39They seen pictures when I was younger,
37:41but they don't know where I am with drag right now.
37:44Yeah.
37:44You still see them?
37:45Yes, I still see them.
37:46We don't talk about it.
37:47I think it's very common in Asian culture that you don't talk about stuff like that,
37:51where if it's looked down upon, it's shameful.
37:54So it is best that we don't talk about it.
37:56Because if we talk about it, then we would distance ourselves further away from it.
37:59And I think a lot of Asians out there can relate to the same situation as well.
38:02Do you ever see a day where you tell them?
38:05I don't know.
38:05I mean, till this day, they still ask me,
38:08when are you going to bring back home a Chinese girlfriend?
38:10But don't they know that I am the girlfriend already?
38:15After the break, the queens read each other's runway looks to Phil.
38:18Stay tuned.
38:19Coming up, it's a quote, Monique Hart.
38:22Anna, Eddie!
38:23Yeah!
38:25Actually, I have a surprise for you.
38:27Uh-oh.
38:27Oh, yeah.
38:28Ah!
38:39Welcome back.
38:40Now, we are only one week away from crowning America's Next Drag Superstar
38:44in an epic lip-sync smackdown for the crown.
38:48But first, let's play a game of what we call toot or boot.
38:52Ah!
38:53Yes!
38:53If you love an outfit, toot it.
38:56And if you don't, boot it.
38:57All right.
38:58First up, Cameron's feather couture.
39:01That's a shoot.
39:02That's a shoot, honey.
39:03When Cameron came in, I was like,
39:04oh, this bitch is going home tomorrow.
39:06Like, she is done.
39:07Episode 3, you came out of this.
39:09I said, to quote Monique Hart.
39:10Anna!
39:11It was like everything.
39:12I was like, oh, this is one of the best looks of the season, probably.
39:14She looked like she came straight out of a Lord of the Rings book.
39:18Up next, we've got Miz Cracker's silver foxy.
39:22Toot or boot?
39:22Toot.
39:24I'm going to say boot.
39:25This bitch put out bigger lips and just turned out to be a fatter-lipped version of herself.
39:29And Michelle said that she really believed I would be that wrinkle-free at that age.
39:32So, all right, so up next, we've got Monet's sponge dress.
39:37Boom!
39:39Toot it.
39:40Toot it.
39:41I'm going to toot it, because when she was making it, I was watching her, and I was like,
39:44this is a good idea.
39:45And I was like, okay, I'm feeling it.
39:47And I still like it to this day.
39:48It's just unshapely.
39:50Monet, tell me about the choice to put the sponges on top over the bottom part.
39:54I wanted to mimic a loofah on a stick.
39:57Does the dress still exist?
39:58The dress still exists, Ru.
39:59And actually, I have a surprise for you.
40:01Uh-oh.
40:02I've been here.
40:03A little birdie told me that you liked it so much.
40:05Uh-huh.
40:06So, I brought you.
40:07I made one for you.
40:08Oh, my goodness.
40:10I'm surprised you still have them on there, because every week you were dabbing yourself
40:13with more of the sponges.
40:14Ru, can I get a toot or a boot, finally, from you?
40:16You can get a toot.
40:17Yeah!
40:18For nerve.
40:19For nerve.
40:20But you do take nerve.
40:21You do take nerve.
40:22And charisma.
40:23Now, you bitches were so extra this season, it rubbed off on the judges.
40:28Check out these never-before-seen moments from the judges panel.
40:32If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
40:35Can I get an amen in here?
40:36Amen!
40:37Can I get an amen, Christina?
40:40Amen, Christina!
40:43Now, Shania, have you worn assless chaps before?
40:45Um, yes, I have.
40:48She's wearing them right now, actually.
40:50Let's go to Alex Trebek and hear what he has to say about Asia.
40:55No tea, no shade.
40:57But she was not serving lemonade.
40:59Ooh!
41:00All right, Alex, for the Beyoncé quote.
41:02Alex is part of the beehive.
41:05Can I just say, I noticed your husband, you are so hot.
41:07Isn't he so hot?
41:08I'm so hot.
41:09I know, right?
41:10Okay.
41:11Wow, I changed my mind.
41:13Your panel was great.
41:14It was really amazing.
41:16You really showed them up.
41:17I am in love with you, girl.
41:19That's very nice.
41:20I remember walking to school right around Spring Awakening when you were there and kids,
41:24like, sleeping outside the theater for, like, days to hopefully get a ticket and you would
41:27sometimes pop in there and bring them coffee and donuts.
41:29That was Jonathan Groff.
41:30That wasn't him, but it's fine.
41:32It's totally fine.
41:33I'm thinking of Book of Mormon.
41:34Book of Mormon, that was you.
41:35Look, we're gay and we're white, so we sing high.
41:38I am on board for all of it.
41:42Courtney, have you ever used a dating app?
41:44Yes.
41:44Are you single?
41:45Because so is Carson.
41:48Yes, and we would make it fantastic.
41:50Oh, my God.
41:51We could share makeup and clothes.
41:53We could put you together for a reason.
41:56So, Alex, is there anything more you'd like to say?
41:59Okay, that's it.
42:00I've had it.
42:01Officially.
42:02Of course.
42:04Ah!
42:06All right, after the break, more drama, Mama.
42:08Don't go anywhere.
42:09Coming up.
42:10I was like, oh, okay, my drag.
42:11You and I don't have a friendship like that?
42:13Oh, she played a completely different game?
42:16Or you're just completely, like, fake?
42:25Welcome back.
42:26Now, after the evil twin challenge, I asked the queens the classic question.
42:30Who should go home and why?
42:33North Korea.
42:33The person that I do not think is a star in this lineup is Ms. Cracker or Ms. Crump's.
42:40How'd that make you feel, Ms. Cracker?
42:43Asia, you hurt my feelings.
42:47I took that phrase and I beat myself for months till I couldn't get out of bed.
42:53And the reason that that happened for me, I think, is because I come from New York City.
42:58And there is an infinite amount of love in the world, but there are only so many bars in New
43:02York City.
43:03And I fought for a place in all of them.
43:05And all year before Drag Race, people were like, girl, are you ready for Monet X Change to be on
43:11Drag Race?
43:12Girl, are you ready for Aquaria to be on Drag Race?
43:14I was always not a star.
43:16I came here only to be a star.
43:19To show people that I was not less than.
43:25That was something I was already telling myself.
43:27You opened it in me.
43:29But that's the story.
43:30Do you still stand by saying that she's not a star?
43:33That was wrong and it was hurtful for me to say that.
43:35And, you know, I would never want to discredit anybody's work or let somebody feel like, you know, they're less
43:40than.
43:40Because, I mean, you are more than.
43:42You proved that by being here and as far as you've made it in a competition.
43:44So I'm really sorry.
43:46From the bottom of my heart, I knew as soon as the words left my mouth that that's not something
43:50you say about somebody else that's in the same, you know, line of work as you.
43:53Do you believe her?
43:55Do I believe her in this apology?
43:57Yes, I believe that.
43:58Yeah, what I will say is this time you made a mistake, fine.
44:02Not next time, bitch.
44:04All right, let's move on.
44:06Now, we are just one week away from crowning America's next drag superstar.
44:10Now, ladies, I've been asking a lot of questions, but now I'd like to give you the chance to ask
44:15questions to each other.
44:17It's the last call.
44:18Now, if you have anything you want to get off your chesticles, now is the time.
44:23Oh, okay.
44:25Okay, mayhem.
44:26Mayhem.
44:27Okay, so here's the thing.
44:29This one's directed to Asia and Aquaria.
44:33Now, in Untouched, you guys have both had a discussion about me saying that my drag didn't have a wow
44:38factor.
44:39And at home watching that, I was completely blown away because I was like, wait a minute.
44:47They never said anything to me about that.
44:49Every time we had a design challenge, like the first episode that I won for my look, everyone said, oh,
44:56my God, wow.
44:57That was great.
44:58And then when it came to the ball, my Martian look was sickening.
45:03And you guys sat there and Untouched and said that about me, and I was very hurt by that because
45:07I was like, wait a minute, what?
45:08I would have thought that you guys would have thought that you guys would have been like, girl, what are
45:10you wearing?
45:11Like, but I thought every time I hit that runway, I was put together.
45:15I was like, oh, okay, f*** my drag all of a sudden.
45:18If I may, first, I came into this competition a very huge Mayhem fan because I think you're just so
45:24freaking cool and so fierce.
45:26And I think for me, you were giving me fabulous drag, but I didn't see you stand out the way
45:31that I wish that I could see you stand out.
45:34And I think that's more what I meant rather than, oh, f*** your drag, you know?
45:39So I'm very sorry if I made you feel that way watching especially.
45:43For me, prior to Drag Race, you were always the girl to be.
45:46And the first episode, the design challenge, I mean, I stood right there with Eureka and told you how fabulous
45:51that was.
45:51I did not personally care for your Martian looks, but I wasn't just going to go over there and say,
45:55girl, I don't like that because you and I don't have a friendship like that.
45:58I'm not a judge.
45:59And I mean, I respect you enough as a person to not, like, rain on your parade with my opinions
46:04that a lot of times don't matter.
46:05But there was never a time where I said, you know, oh, Mayhem, I love this, and then went and
46:09untucked and said something different.
46:11Okay, that's a valid point.
46:13Let's, anybody else want?
46:14Can I have one?
46:15Cameron?
46:15Cameron, you, stunt queen, strategizing the house down, faces of many.
46:23You on social media have all of this mouth.
46:26And I go, now I understand strategy.
46:29I just don't understand, like, where's this girl that claps back, pops off, and then this one over here was
46:35just very, like, I don't say anything.
46:36I don't do it, like, who, I'm just asking only because it seems very, like, oh, she played a completely
46:41different game, and we don't know you at all?
46:43Or you're just completely, like, or you're just completely, like, thick.
46:45It wasn't really even a strategy.
46:47I was just intimidated by you guys.
46:49You guys were all, I think all of you, working as professional drag queens.
46:53I was not.
46:53I was a hairdresser.
46:55I stopped doing drag and concentrated on my hair career, and then I auditioned for the show, and I made
47:01it.
47:01And then in that moment, I realized, oh, what did I get myself into?
47:07And so I had to come and concentrate on my hair career, and that was why I was so quiet.
47:13It wasn't a strategy.
47:14It was me doubting myself the whole time.
47:15But you come to my shows, when you come and see me live, I'm the same way that I am
47:19on social media as I am in person at my shows.
47:23You know, it's very heartbreaking, because when I see your personality on social media, that hurts my feelings.
47:29Because, like, I don't have a relationship with you.
47:32I don't know if many girls have relationships with you, but it's almost like you don't want it at all.
47:37And, like, press week, mama.
47:38We were together in each other's faces for a whole week.
47:41I would walk into the room.
47:42I literally had to sit on your lap and grab your face and say, hi, Cameron.
47:47Hello.
47:47And then after that weekend, I told myself I'm not wasting any more energy.
47:52Why? Because the response, you wouldn't get a response from Cameron?
47:55Listen, everyone here will walk into the room and say hello to each other.
47:58Sis, how you been?
48:00I can't even turn Cameron's head when I walk into the room.
48:03Is that true, Cameron?
48:04Why is that?
48:05I'm sure some girls feel like that.
48:06I don't have a close relationship with everyone here.
48:09But I, when I walk into a room, maybe I didn't do it on the show, but events that we've
48:14done together, I feel like I walk up and say hello to you guys.
48:17I feel like I say hi.
48:18I feel like I say that you look great.
48:19Sis, I love you, but you will walk clear into a room and just go.
48:23And I, you will.
48:25So it feels intentional.
48:26It feels like you don't care.
48:27That's what it is.
48:28So it's not like you got to be, oh, boo, woo, woo, woo.
48:31No, just, hey, fish, keep it pushing.
48:33That's it.
48:34I have to disagree.
48:35I feel like, I feel like I comment and tell you guys that you look good.
48:38Maybe I, maybe I didn't do it, maybe I didn't do it back then, but I do it now.
48:41But also I feel actively on the show, you said to us often that I'm not talking because I don't
48:48want to say, um, I don't want to, I don't want to say, I don't want to put shady clips
48:52about me.
48:53But it's like, if you don't have something shady to say, then that's not going to happen.
48:55See, that girl right here.
48:56This girl, who's she?
48:58That one right there.
48:59You just said, who's she?
49:02Oh, did you just make a face?
49:03No, she just clicked.
49:05Who, that's what I'm saying.
49:06She clicked out, not clicked.
49:07She just clicked over.
49:07She clicked out.
49:08It's all in like body language and everything.
49:10You know what I'm saying?
49:11And so I'm going like, she's here.
49:13You're here with us.
49:15To put a bandit on that.
49:16I'm not saying that you are maliciously trying to ignore us.
49:18It's just that when we hear you say that, oh, I'm not going to say nothing on camera because I
49:21don't want to say nothing shady.
49:22That gives me pause.
49:23Like, okay, what does Cameron really think about Monet?
49:25What does Cameron really think about Monique?
49:27I think that's what is the disconnect for me.
49:29I just think you're so fabulous.
49:30I just want you to be my friend.
49:33Thank you, ladies, for getting it all off your chest.
49:36After the break, I'll ask which of our top four should take the crown.
49:40So stick around.
49:41Coming up, how does it feel to have a catchphrase last longer on Drag Race than you did?
49:46Girl, I'm glad I have a catchphrase.
49:48Who are you again?
49:59Welcome back.
49:59Now, ladies, before you draguate from RuPaul's Drag Race, let's take one last trip to the library.
50:06Ooh.
50:07All right, bitches, the library is open.
50:09Who wants to go first?
50:11Me.
50:11Okay.
50:12I went to public school, so I might not be very good at this.
50:15Aw.
50:16Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.
50:17What, bitch?
50:18How does it feel to have a catchphrase last longer on Drag Race than you did?
50:22Girl, I'm glad I have a catchphrase.
50:24Who are you again?
50:25Bitch.
50:26Bitch.
50:26Bitch.
50:27Bitch.
50:28Bitch.
50:28Bitch that sent you home.
50:29The bitch that sent you home.
50:32Eureka.
50:33They say, Eureka, I found it, right?
50:34But when you're going to find out when to shut the f*** up sometime?
50:38Oh, my God.
50:40When you come put that f*** up.
50:42Oh, my God.
50:43Oh, my God.
50:57Oh.
51:03Eureka, I know you've seemed to gotten close to Miss Cameron Michaels, and that's really
51:07surprising because no one gets close to her without a $50 meet and greet.
51:11And I know maybe it's because of Cameron's ego is so big it makes you feel dainty.
51:17And feeling dainty, Miss Blair St. Clair, I know you like to claim you're a professional
51:21actress, but being a decoy on To Catch a Predator is not a legit credit.
51:26And Michelle Visage, Never Loved Ya.
51:32Well, thank you, ladies.
51:37The library for season 10 is closed officially.
51:41Aquaria, Asia O'Hara, Eureka, and Cameron Michaels.
51:46In one week, one of you will be crowned America's next drag superstar and win a year's supply
51:52of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000.
51:59Next week, the top four get to plead their cases.
52:02But now I want to ask the rest of our queens who they think should be America's next drag
52:07superstar.
52:08Speak now or forever hold your peace.
52:11Mayhem.
52:13God, it's a hard choice for me.
52:16I really feel Aquaria has shown how strong of a competitor she is, and I feel she has
52:23a future of drag on her.
52:25Calorie.
52:26Eureka.
52:26I think it's time for a big girl to win.
52:28Dusty.
52:29I would have to root for my New York queen, Aquaria.
52:32She is someone who came in and had the biggest transformation as a person.
52:35She's so kind.
52:36She's so generous now.
52:37I would even give her Miss Congeniality with the crown.
52:42I would have to pick Eureka.
52:44She's fierce.
52:45Monique.
52:46I said everybody black in Aquaria, so I want Asia O'Hara to win because we need the example
52:51of what she is as a person.
52:54She's the queen I wanted to be, and she's my queen.
52:56I love you.
52:57Miss Cracker.
52:58Came for me, came for me, sent me home.
53:00Eureka.
53:01Eureka.
53:01You win by process of elimination.
53:05Blair.
53:05I think Asia O'Hara has such an amazing voice behind her, and I would love to see her take
53:09that crown.
53:10Monet.
53:11I would have to pick Asia O'Hara.
53:13She's someone who did this competition with her heart.
53:16Fangie.
53:17I'm going to pick Eureka because she is someone who's been checking on me all the time, constantly,
53:21and she's a good sister to me, and I think you deserve it as well.
53:24I love you.
53:25All will be revealed in one week at the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
53:29Now, I want to hear from the fans.
53:32This is your last chance to let me know who should be crowned America's Next Drag Superstar.
53:38Are you hashtag Team Aquaria?
53:42Hashtag Team Asia?
53:44Hashtag Team Eureka?
53:46Or hashtag Team Cameron?
