00:06From the theater at Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, and the Drag Race Drive-In, it's
00:12the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:16And tonight, our top four are having a ball.
00:19Category is Black and White.
00:22First up, Baby Got Mick.
00:28I am walking down the runway on the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:32Girl, I shaved my head for this runway.
00:34I have a custom Got Mick Pandora's box.
00:37Pinhead comes out of the box to steal your soul, while I'm coming out of the box to steal
00:41the crown.
00:43From the Vajonka Bronx, it's Candy Muse.
00:49Baby, this is the new and improved version of Candy Muse.
00:52It's glam, chic, sophisticated, while still bringing a message onto the runway.
00:57You see the BLM right across the dress.
01:00Candy Muse does gowns now.
01:03Baby, I am ready to take this crown home.
01:07The intoxicating Rosé.
01:12Move your blooming ass.
01:14My fair lady, honey, my fair Rosé.
01:18My black and white look is inspired by Audrey Hepburn's iconic dress.
01:22She's serving classical musical theater.
01:24Meets me, Blair.
01:25There is not a ruffle inside, baby.
01:27It is hugging my figure, and I feel like a million bucks.
01:30Hopefully, I can win $100,000.
01:33And the ebony enchantress, Simone.
01:39I'm giving you full opulence.
01:41I'm wearing the fair royalties, darling, faux, of course.
01:44And I'm mixing it with an urban twist.
01:46You know, I got my bandanas on.
01:48Very queen of the South, coming to reclaim her time and her lands.
01:52I feel very strong, very confident, and that's what I need, honey.
01:55Because Simone is here, and she's here to win.
02:00Category is Red All Over.
02:03First up, Got Mick.
02:08I immediately went to Keith Haring's art.
02:11He uses red so much for AIDS awareness, and with this classic Bowie jumpsuit silhouette,
02:17it is two of my favorite artists collabed into one Got Mick-ified look.
02:21I feel so powerful.
02:23Like, I am feeling like I already won the crown, George.
02:28Next, Candy Muse.
02:31I feel stunning.
02:33I have my shoulders out.
02:35I got my long ponytail.
02:37Baby, I'm giving Benji.
02:39My purse is a boombox.
02:41Throwing it back to where it all started.
02:43And if you're wondering what I'm listening to on these headphones,
02:46RuPaul is telling me I'm the winner.
02:50Next up, Rosé.
02:53I am walking the children in nature with this tree eleganza.
02:58There are twisting vines taking over my entire body.
03:02It feels great to get back to my roots.
03:05From head to toe, baby, I am branching out.
03:07And I gotta say, I am rooting for me.
03:11And Simone.
03:14In this look, I feel very fizz, flirty, decked out in the classic red nails from head to toe.
03:21And can y'all catch my uh, hangnails?
03:23And this hair is really fun.
03:26And they held in my bundles, baby.
03:27I'm owning the stage.
03:29I'm giving them all the red nails, baby.
03:31All the better to snatch this crown with.
03:33Last but not least, category is Grand Finale Eleganza Extravaganza.
03:40Bring back my girls.
03:43Gottmik.
03:45This look is a very classic silhouette, but with a Gottmik twist.
03:49I have this gold skeleton mixed with this regal feel.
03:53And underneath these solid gold ribs is a Swarovski heart.
03:56I came here to win.
03:57And if this look isn't telling you that exact thing, then you must be watching a different show, my love.
04:03Bring back my girls.
04:04Candy Muse.
04:06Bring back my girls.
04:07I am sending you some peacock realness tonight.
04:10They represent pride, beauty, sexuality.
04:13And I feel so beautiful in my huge ball gown.
04:17I feel like a hundred thousand dollars.
04:20And America's Next Drag Superstar.
04:25Rosé.
04:27Tonight, I feel like the Queen of Scotland.
04:29My entire look is adorned and encrusted with beautiful sparkling crystals and gorgeous silver roses.
04:35I'm more sparkly than a damn Christmas tree, and I'm the same color as one.
04:39I came here to be crowned tonight, so I dress like a queen.
04:45And Simone.
04:48The Avenue Enchantress is here!
04:50This custom armor, darling, represents the warrior me, the fighter.
04:54And then you have the softer side, the goddess.
04:56The gold leaf is the crown dripping upon my hair.
04:59There's your hair, there's your crown.
05:00I'm here, I'm fierce, and I am ready to win!
05:03Bring back my girls!
05:07And now, welcome my best friend forever, the original supermodel of the world, RuPaul!
05:15You're the girl, with the bass in your heart.
05:18Head to toe, let your whole body talk.
05:25Welcome to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
05:28Tonight, we're dedicating our show to the power of friendship.
05:32New friends, old friends, and the friends we've yet to meet.
05:35And condragulations to our top four squirrel friends.
05:39Got Mick?
05:40Candy Muse?
05:42Rosé?
05:43And Simone?
05:45Hi, Queens!
05:46Hey!
05:47You've given your hearts and souls all season long.
05:50And tonight, we celebrate each of you as you prepare for a lip-sync smackdown for the crown.
05:56Hashtag Drag Race.
05:58Now, for safety reasons, we can't have a live audience.
06:01But right now, there's a socially distant gathering happening at the Drag Race Drive-In.
06:07Let's check in with our reigning Drag Race superstar, Ms. Jada Essence-Hall.
06:11Hey, Jada, how's it going out there?
06:13Hey, Ru! Right now, I'm out here with the fans, and Bubbly Bounce Sparkling Water is kicking things up a
06:18notch with this sickening drive-in.
06:20I'm out here, everybody's jagging, they're having a great time, and they are excited to see who is going to
06:24be the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13!
06:29Jada, any advice for our top four?
06:32Look, it does not matter what happens tonight.
06:34Remember, you are sickening and you are a winner, baby.
06:37But make sure you get that crown, okay?
06:40And remember, it ain't over until your lip syncs from your living room.
06:44Just ask me.
06:48Thanks, Jada. We'll check in with you later.
06:50Bye, Ru!
06:53My queens, listen, this season was challenging for so many reasons.
06:57But in the end, I couldn't have asked for a more delightful and dynamic top four.
07:02Y'all ready?
07:03Yeah!
07:04Let's do it!
07:05Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win!
07:13The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race receives a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics
07:18and a cash prize of $100,000!
07:28It's time to celebrate our final four drag warriors,
07:32starting with a queen who's always on the cutting edge.
07:35Take a look.
07:36Time to crash the system!
07:39My drag is inspired by fashion.
07:42You turn it on this runway every friggin' time.
07:46The biggest misconception about me is that I'm just a makeup artist.
07:49I'm gonna do it now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:51Such different communities here.
07:53Gay, trans, hug.
07:56Baby got mixed.
07:57Obsessed with me is everything.
07:59I kind of am obsessed with you.
08:01You are the only person that watches porn and comes when the pizza gets delivered.
08:07Got mixed, got style, got talent.
08:10You are creative.
08:12That is what excites me. That's what turns me on.
08:14This one has the good.
08:16Gaga, tundra.
08:20Wow, God, Nick, what a journey it's been.
08:23On me.
08:24I just fell in love with you, watching how open and, you know, this wah-wah thing that you do.
08:30I just love that.
08:32I didn't expect to enjoy you this much.
08:34I love that.
08:35It's true.
08:35Kind of rude, but I love it.
08:36It is kind of rude, but I love it.
08:38No, it's, you see the audition reel, and then you meet them in person, like, eh.
08:44And who?
08:47We'll talk later.
08:49Now, during the Rusical, you had a breakthrough moment.
08:52Tell me about that.
08:53I just walked in thinking that my strengths were makeup and fashion, and the Rusical was
08:58the first time where I just let go, and I had fun, and I think it translated to the judges.
09:04So I just took that, and I was like, that's what I have to do every single week, no matter
09:08what, and trust the process.
09:09That's right.
09:09And that's what these challenges are for, to challenge yourself and to see how far you
09:14can take it.
09:15And boy, oh boy, did you take it there.
09:17Now, you won the Snatch Game, imitating Paris Hilton.
09:22Yes.
09:22Well, guess what?
09:23She has something to say about it.
09:25Take a look.
09:26Hey, Got Mick.
09:27Wanted to wish you good luck in tonight's finale.
09:29I loved watching you in the Snatch Game.
09:31You totally killed it.
09:32So funny watching you impersonate me.
09:35Your journey has been so inspiring, and just wanted to say good luck, and I love you.
09:38That's hot.
09:39That's it.
09:42That's hot.
09:44How long have you known her?
09:46Paris was actually my first client that I ever had that was like a celebrity magazine
09:51cover gig.
09:52Did you do a good job on her?
09:53Yes, and actually the reference image was like a full drag queen, and they're like, don't
09:58tell her.
09:58And I was like, okay.
10:00Like, so scared.
10:03Now, you slayed the Nice Girls Roast Challenge, and I hear roasting runs in your family?
10:09Oh, yes.
10:10My mom literally called me, and she was like, I'll hear your dad laughing in the other room,
10:13and he'll have my, like, reading challenge or roast on and just laugh at it and watch it.
10:18Oh, my goodness.
10:18Isn't that so cute?
10:20Now, since your parents couldn't be here in person with us tonight, they sent us a little
10:24message.
10:25What is this?
10:26I know.
10:26It's your life.
10:27I know.
10:28Now, Nick.
10:30Hey, Gorge.
10:32It's our great joy to watch our child grow up and be the person that they are.
10:35And your artistry this season has been incredible.
10:37You bagged a ball in the bag ball challenge.
10:40You became a Russian bot and threatened to ruin the USA.
10:43And my personal favorite, you killed it in the roast where you burnt everyone to a crisp.
10:47Kate, your creativity, your talent, your vulnerability have just shined through.
10:51We know that you're going to be awesome as you sashay your way to become America's next
10:56drag superstar.
10:57Go snatch that crown, baby.
10:58We love you.
10:59We love you.
11:01Oh, my goodness.
11:03It really doesn't get any better than that, does it?
11:05No.
11:06They have always been the most loving and amazing parents ever.
11:10But when I came out, it just kind of threw them through a loop.
11:13But it was just because they were just not educated, you know?
11:15And obviously, I felt like it was the end of the world at the time.
11:18But I'm so happy to see that they support me.
11:21Oh, my goodness.
11:22I wish everyone had that kind of support, you know?
11:25Yes.
11:27Now, you and the other contestants have become very close.
11:30Oh, yes.
11:31We literally, like, say goodnight, and then I wake them up.
11:34You call each other.
11:35Yes.
11:36We really are, truly, like, these are some of my best friends in my life.
11:40And it's amazing.
11:41So, how's it going to feel to send those bitches home?
11:43Correct.
11:48Well, Gottmik, thank you so much for making season 13 Gorge.
11:53Oh, thanks, Gorge.
11:54You know, but hearing you say Gorge is my favorite thing in the world.
11:57Like, I could literally play it on a loop every day.
11:59Like, Gorge.
12:02Give it up for Gottmik.
12:03Thank you so much.
12:10Welcome back to the Grand Denali of RuPaul's Drag Race.
12:13Let's check in with Jada Essenthal at the Drag Race Drive-In.
12:16Hey, Ru.
12:17Clearly, it's lit out here right now, and the fans have strong feelings.
12:21Hey, girl, I see that bubbly bounce kicker's caffeine is doing his thing.
12:24I'll have what she's having.
12:27Back to you, Ru.
12:29Thank you, Jada.
12:30Our next top four queen has got a big mouth, a big personality, and an even bigger heart.
12:36Take a look.
12:36From the hood to Hollywood, I'm the Dominican star from New York City.
12:41Ew.
12:41I look fucking stunning.
12:43Everything that I've been made fun of, it's been celebrated here.
12:47Come on, bitch.
12:48She knows how to bring comedy.
12:50What do you love to eat?
12:51Bitch, I love to eat chicken hot dogs.
12:55Hey, Ru.
12:56Hi.
12:56Who passed the old?
12:57I told her to act her own age, bitch.
12:59She died.
13:02Yeah.
13:05Everything about candy is original.
13:07When you needed to fight and fought like a girl from the South Bronx would.
13:10Everyone can be a drag queen, but not everyone's going to be a star.
13:13I'm a star.
13:17Candy Muse.
13:18Welcome, lady.
13:19Or should I call you Candy Producer Muse?
13:22Absolutely.
13:23You can call me the producer, the background singer, the background singer, the cameraman.
13:26I do it all.
13:27I do it all, man.
13:29All T no shade, but when you watch yourself this season, could you understand everything
13:33that you said?
13:34You know what?
13:34I think that sometimes I like to pretend that I know what I'm saying.
13:40But I think because I've been me for so long that I'm kind of used to it a little.
13:43So, Candy, for real.
13:46Why is Candy Muse in the top four?
13:48Because no one does Candy Muse like Candy Muse does Candy Muse.
13:53You know, you know when you know you have that little pizzazz, and as a Scorpio, bitch,
13:57you know, you're like, oh, I'm good.
13:58And I know I'm good.
13:59Yes, you are good.
14:01Now, you've also had your ups and downs.
14:03Where does your fighting spirit come from?
14:06It comes from growing up in the hood.
14:07You know, in the song, like I said, from the hood to Hollywood, because it's the truth.
14:10Growing up in the hood, you had no choice but to fight to get to that goal you want to
14:13get to.
14:13And coming in the competition, it was no different.
14:15Anytime I was in the bottom, I was like, oh, you're not going to send me home.
14:18Now, you and Tamisha Amon had an epic fight.
14:21Have you spoken to her since?
14:23No, me and Tamisha have not spoken since the show.
14:25But, you know, I'm just more focused on Candy Muse.
14:27And, bitch, that was so long ago, I don't give two shits about that anymore.
14:31Now, what's been your favorite part of this experience?
14:34Oh, my God.
14:35I think my favorite part, number one, is making the amazing friends that I've made on the show.
14:39Me and the top four, I think, were the closest ever.
14:41I heard that.
14:42Ever, ever.
14:43But honestly, just all the memes and just showing the world with Candy Muse,
14:47because I wanted this for so long.
14:48And now being on this platform, that is my favorite part.
14:51Because, like I said, I'm delusional and self-centered.
14:58You're delusional and self-centered.
15:00That's a hot combination.
15:05Candy girl, you won that rose challenge.
15:08Tell us how you spent that money, girl.
15:11I actually put that prize money towards my mother's honeymoon that she never got to take after her wedding.
15:17Well, we have a message from one of the happy honeymooners.
15:20Take a look.
15:21Baby, words cannot explain how proud our entire family and friends are.
15:27I have always known you are made for stardom.
15:32So, for the finale, give them your all, and like always, slay, slay, slay.
15:41I love you always.
15:42You're number one fun.
15:48How does that make you feel?
15:50Everything that I do, and the reason why I came to this competition was to show and prove to my
15:55family and my mother that I can be someone and be something.
16:02People may not understand who Candy Muse is from the get, but the one person that has and the one
16:06person that has stuck by my side through sick and sin is my two mothers.
16:10And I feel so blessed and so lucky and so honored to be a part of her and the family.
16:17Wow.
16:18Beautiful.
16:19Now, Candy, you survived four lip syncs during this competition.
16:26How do you plan to slay tonight?
16:29I'm like the Terminator of season 13 and of drag.
16:33The same way I fought every single one of them lip syncs is going to be the same way you're
16:37going to get a show tonight.
16:38Oh, okay.
16:41Candy Muse, you are one beautiful bitch.
16:43Give it up for Candy Muse.
16:48Our next queen is a Broadway baby who dragged her way to the top four.
16:53Now, everything's coming up.
16:55Rosé, take a look.
16:57Hey!
16:58Rosé is a comedy queen.
17:00The baby charity!
17:01You're looking fucking great.
17:03Ow.
17:03Feels good.
17:04I know me.
17:06The gnome.
17:07I'm a singer and a dancer.
17:09There is just about nothing I can't do.
17:11Don't say what I can post.
17:13You know I'm stunning.
17:14So just cancel your plans to troll on my crusade.
17:19Drink rosé and be perfect like me now.
17:23Hey!
17:23What's what you doing, lady?
17:25This is the longest that Heidi has ever waited before trying to fuck me.
17:30I just love seeing someone doing what they're meant to do.
17:34You command all of the attention.
17:35Rosé is the TP.
17:37Total package.
17:40Rosé, welcome, my dear.
17:42You look gorgeous.
17:43Oh, thank you so much, Rue.
17:45So, Rosé, I hear you are nursing an injury.
17:48So I have to ask, how's your head?
17:50It's much better than my ankle, Rue.
17:53Which is what I, what I injured.
17:56Yeah, I sprained my ankle a few months ago really badly.
18:00Really?
18:00Yes, but it's getting better.
18:02And you're okay to compete tonight, right?
18:04Nothing would stop me from being here, Rue.
18:06That's the right answer.
18:08Now, there's a meme of you in that Tina Burner makeup.
18:10It's been seen around the world.
18:13In that very moment, what were you thinking?
18:16Everybody say ugly.
18:19Everybody say ugly.
18:22But were you just playing nice with her?
18:24You didn't want to hurt her feelings?
18:25Rue, we were teammates.
18:27I had got, I was trying to get it to the next episode,
18:29which was the Beast Runway, and she thought it was that week, clearly.
18:35Now, I love your Scottish brogue.
18:38I can say only one thing with a Scottish accent.
18:41It's Lawrence Chan-er.
18:44Can you teach me how to say something else with a Scottish brogue?
18:47Yeah, yeah, here's one.
18:49Ellie Diamond.
18:55Now, RuPaul's Drag Race has been bringing families together since 2009.
19:00Tonight, we have a message from yours.
19:03The whole McCorkle clan.
19:06Hi, Rosé.
19:08Hi, RuPaul.
19:09We're the McCorkle.
19:10I'm Rosé's dad, Cheep, of the McCorkle clan.
19:13I'd just like to say, you're looking fucking great, by the way.
19:17I just want to say how clever you are of you.
19:20And I'm Guess.
19:20Half of Scotland as well.
19:22I brought his wee brother Lou, but I brought someone else with me.
19:24I brought...
19:26Stan Alina!
19:28Rosé's biggest fan.
19:29Ross, I just wanted to let you know that I'm so proud of you.
19:33Your whole family is.
19:34It's been a blast watching you on TV.
19:37Go get that gold.
19:37Bring that crown home.
19:39Okay, I love you.
19:41I would like to make a toast.
19:43A toast.
19:44Um, cheers to you, Rosé, our queen.
19:47I love the queen.
19:48Bring them home, baby.
19:50Bring them home, baby.
19:51Good, drag your legs.
19:54Good, drag your legs.
19:57Good, drag your legs.
19:59Oh, my goodness.
20:01What nuts.
20:02Oh, now you know.
20:03Yes.
20:03Yeah, yeah.
20:04I'm so happy to have seen that tonight and to be reminded of where I came from and who I
20:09am.
20:09Yeah.
20:10Now, you're the only top four queen who was sent to the pork chop loading dock.
20:14Yeah.
20:15Do you think it's an advantage or a disadvantage tonight?
20:18I was forced to really focus and work twice as hard.
20:22Um, I am not someone who really knows how to give up, but I was never giving up after Fallen
20:28that day.
20:29So, I think it served me.
20:31Good, good.
20:32A pork chop, actually.
20:34I love it.
20:35Now, Rosé, you came here a professional and you're leaving a star.
20:39Let's hear it for Rosé.
20:40Rosé.
20:46Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
20:50Let's check in with Jada Essence Hall at the Drag Race Drive-In.
20:53Hey, Ru.
20:54The fans are still going crazy out here.
20:56In fact, I think I have a good chance of becoming Miss Congeniality here at the Drive-In.
21:02Well, I told you I will pay you later.
21:03Oh, my.
21:04Anyway, Ru, I'm about to bounce over right now to see you, and I'm hoping that I can fit in
21:10this car and change my clothes, okay?
21:15Thanks, Jada.
21:18It's time now to celebrate a top four queen who always kept us gagging for more.
21:24Take a look.
21:26Don't let the smooth taste fool you, baby.
21:28I'm the Ebony in Chetcher.
21:31I love strong women who've been through things, and if you're black, that's even better.
21:34And if you're black, too, you'll get a gold tooth for free.
21:38You're gonna need it.
21:40This has never been done on a runway.
21:42How many iconic looks have Simone already had?
21:45Get into it.
21:46I could not take my eyes off of her.
21:49I'll be turning down the flag factory.
21:50And I'll be turning up a wall factory.
21:52Well, wall factory up to space.
21:53The nosy-ass, bald-headed motherfucker.
21:55I just thought people gave you money when you gave them fellatio.
21:58The star that bright was just unknown, waiting to be discovered.
22:04Simone, Simone, yay, hey, girl, hi.
22:07Hey, what's going on?
22:09Yeah, I gotta tell you, one of my favorite things to come out of this season was when you said
22:13fact-trap.
22:14Fact-trap!
22:17Simone, who were your icons growing up?
22:19I love Rihanna.
22:20She's always herself, so edgy.
22:22You see her, and, like, that's her.
22:23And I love that about her.
22:25I love Lil' Kim.
22:26Uh-huh.
22:27She's always so strong in her sexuality, and she uses it to get what she wanted.
22:30So I said, let me just mix that with Whitney Houston, and you got Simone.
22:34I love it.
22:34I saw online you got a message from Rihanna.
22:38Yes, ma'am.
22:39That was an amazing moment.
22:42I was just on Instagram, and I was like, wait.
22:44Let me just make sure the check mark is there.
22:46Oh, yeah, that's her.
22:47That's her.
22:47Wow.
22:48She said she was proud of me and to keep my foot on the gas.
22:51I love that.
22:53How does drag and activism come together for you?
22:56I've always wanted to say something on the runway.
22:59I've always wanted to just be myself and have something behind it.
23:02And I wanted to show my appreciation for my culture, black culture, and elevate it and
23:06show the people that we turn it, because we are beautiful people.
23:10Well, you did that very well.
23:13Now, tell me about the House of Avalon.
23:15We all originated from Arkansas.
23:17I'm from Conway.
23:18One of them was from Little Rock.
23:19Another from Mountain Home.
23:20Two of them from Bald Knob.
23:22You ever heard of?
23:22There's a town called Bald Knob.
23:24Bald Knob, Arkansas.
23:25Who came up with that name?
23:27Some white man.
23:30So what message do you have for queer kids in small towns like Conway or Kansas?
23:37Don't get swallowed up by what's around you.
23:39You know, like you may think that the limitations of where you live is going to hold you back,
23:43but hold on to your dream.
23:45Hold on to your aspirations, because that's what's going to get you on the other side.
23:47That's what I did.
23:48I knew that I had to get out of here, and I had to make some of myself.
23:52And if I was going to do it, I had to find what I loved, which was drag, and I
23:57had to
23:58figure out how to make it work for me.
23:59Have you been back since?
24:00I have not.
24:01I haven't been back since I left.
24:02Really?
24:02No.
24:03Okay, fancy.
24:06It's really, I just, I miss my mom so much, and I love her, and I hate that I haven't
24:10seen her in two years.
24:11Well, we hear there's a lot of people in Conway, Arkansas, who are rooting for you.
24:16Let's take a look.
24:17Hi, RuPaul and Simone.
24:19Everybody is so proud that we have somebody from little old Conway on RuPaul.
24:25And we are so proud.
24:27RuPaul.
24:28We're just waiting on you to just come on and bring this crown home already.
24:31Hey, Reggie.
24:32I'm your biggest fan, and keep up the good work.
24:35And we love you.
24:36Love you, girl.
24:39Love y'all so much.
24:40Oh, my goodness.
24:41Now, that was your mother on the other day?
24:42That was my mom and my grandma.
24:44Who the hell is Reggie?
24:45I don't know who the fuck Reggie is.
24:47I don't know who the fuck that is.
24:48No, for real.
24:49How does it make you feel to have that kind of support?
24:51It makes me feel great.
24:52You know, I've always wanted to make my mom proud.
24:54That's been a driving force in my life, and it's a great feeling to know that I've made
24:59some of myself, and she's got to see her baby come up here and live her dream.
25:02Oh, my goodness.
25:03That must be the best feeling in the world for a parent.
25:07So, darling.
25:08Yes.
25:08Do you have a strategy for the lip sync tonight?
25:10I do.
25:11I had to lip sync a couple, two, three times.
25:13One of them all.
25:14Just so we remember.
25:15Okay, don't get a kiss.
25:17But I do.
25:18I showed myself on each lip sync that I did, but I kind of want to show a little different
25:22part of me this time.
25:23So, I'm very excited to lip sync against the girls, and we're all very different in
25:27what we do, so it's going to be a good-ass time.
25:29Yeah.
25:30Well, Simone, thank you for inspiring the world with your beauty and your message.
25:35Give it up for Simone.
25:36Simone, yeah.
25:37You know, you know.
25:39Lady.
25:41Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
25:442021 marks the 40th anniversary of the first reported case of AIDS.
25:49In the 80s and 90s, the song Friends by the divine Bette Midler took on a whole new meaning.
25:56Listen to this one.
25:59I had some friends, but they're gone.
26:06Somebody came and took them away.
26:10And from the dusk till the dawn, here is where I stay.
26:24Today, as we emerge from yet another pandemic, we are reminded once again what really matters.
26:30Love, kindness, and friends.
26:38Oh, you got to have friends, the healing's all so strong.
26:45You got to have friends, to make that day last long.
26:52Had some friends, but they're gone.
26:57Something came and took them away.
26:59And from the dusk till the dawn, here's where I will stay.
27:07Standing at the end of the road, but waiting for my new friends to come.
27:12I don't care if I'm hungry or cold, freezing.
27:17I got to get me some.
27:19Cause we got to have friends.
27:24Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum.
27:28Friends.
27:30That's the favorite part of my voice, you know.
27:32I really love to hear that.
27:33Oh, friends, thank you.
27:43Oh, friends, friends, friends, friends, I have some friends.
27:47Oh, but they're all gone, gone.
27:50Something took them away.
27:53And from the dusk till the dawn, here is where I'm going to stay.
27:59And I'm all standing at the end of a real long road, jack.
28:04And I'm waiting for those new friends to come.
28:06And I don't care if I'm hungry or freeze and freeze and go.
28:10I got to, you got to get me some.
28:12Cause you got to have.
28:14You got to have friends.
28:15I'm telling you, we're going too fast.
28:18You know, and the whole thing's going to just separate.
28:20Things are getting better now.
28:22And I think it's going to be okay.
28:25Cause you got to have friends.
28:48We lost one of our most beloved Queens this past year.
28:51A beacon of love, talent, and Louisiana glamour.
28:54with dazzling Chi-Chi Devane.
28:59Chi-Chi was one of those folks who was loved by everyone.
29:02Everyone who met Chi-Chi truly loved her energy.
29:04Hey, y'all.
29:06She was a giving person.
29:08She was very, very kind-hearted and super, super, super funny.
29:12She was so raw and visceral and honest,
29:16and I loved every second of it.
29:19It was honestly a thrill to work with Chi-Chi any day of the week.
29:22What was incredible about Chi-Chi is she was so talented.
29:25She was a show-stopping, and I mean a show-stopping performer.
29:31You're one of the best performers that I've ever met.
29:34You'd be taking a nap up until the moment your music starts playing,
29:37and then you'd run up to the stage and do 10 back lifts and cartwheels.
29:41That bitch can sing.
29:42We were on a Christmas tour, and there was some confusion
29:45with two girls doing the same song, pheromone.
29:49And so Chi-Chi was the bigger girl, and she decided to switch.
29:53She sang Silent Night, baby, and everybody else on the tour
29:56who thought they were going to sing live stopped.
30:00She was a complete entertainer,
30:02but most of all, it wasn't all her personality and character.
30:05Who doesn't like old smoked turkey, nigga?
30:08She inspired me so much.
30:10She was a queen who didn't have all the finest things,
30:12but she had the talent and the ability
30:14and all those other fixes that made her just hope how special she really was.
30:18I drove from Dallas all the way to Shreveport
30:20just to spend time with her and cook her some red beans and rice.
30:24If anything, she left me with is to stay true to who you are.
30:28Never be ashamed of how you walk, talk,
30:32because that is going to be the key to your success.
30:36Chi-Chi, forever your memory lasts,
30:38in all the hearts of millions that you touch.
30:41I just miss your bubbly energy,
30:43and I think about you all the time.
30:45You are a great friend.
30:47You are a good person.
30:50I miss you so much.
30:51We miss you, Chi-Chi, and I love you so much.
30:54I will always love you, Chi-Chi.
30:55We love you, Chi-Chi.
30:56Hey, I'm a Chi-Chi forever.

47:03With Rihanna
47:05It was major
47:06And I've just had the opportunity

47:09Allowed me to go, you know
47:10Jada, what advice do you have
47:12For America's Next Drag Superstar?
47:14My advice for America's Next Drag Superstar
47:17Is to just take every day
47:18One step at a time
47:19And enjoy what you've done
47:22I mean, like, you've already won
47:23And people love you for that
47:24And if they don't love you for that
47:25That's because they have no taste
47:28Well, that is very inspirational
