00:08I'm really sad that Morphine has been eliminated just because I know how bad she wanted to make
00:13it to the end. But I'm also excited because I made it to the top four. It's gonna be so
00:18boring
00:18without Mo. I'm rooting for all of you. Morphine love Dion. We love you Morphine. How are you
00:25feeling Sephira? This was not a part of my fantasy. That lip sync was probably my favorite of the entire
00:31season thus far. When she said Sephira, I was expecting her to say Morphine. Shante, you said.
00:38Because Morphine is a sickness. It's gonna be so different without her bitch. It is. It's gonna be so quiet.
00:42I'm gonna get a BBL and I'm going to Morphine's doctor. Bye Chrome. I think the queens are living
00:48that I finally have shown some vulnerability. I've been the juggernaut bitch. They're like, yay,
00:54finally. Perfect Sephira is not perfect. But if these queens think that because I've been the
00:59modern ones, it's gonna affect me at all, they should know me better by now. First of all,
01:07congratulations. Thank you. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. Welcome to the four wins club. Oh, sister,
01:13I almost didn't make it. For the first three people, they hate leotards, but they got to you
01:17and they loved it. It's not just about the costume. It's about the makeover. It's about the family
01:22resemblance. It's about how we made our makeovers feel. And your bitch was dressed
01:26like a Muppet. So you're a sickening, a concept. A concept. You wouldn't know
01:31anything about it. Oh, is that so? Okay. Q and I definitely have sort of like a
01:36sibling rivalry at this point. We like tormenting each other a little bit. But
01:40you know, there's always some truth to the jabs. Breast cups and leotards and
01:44shoulder pads, mama. Talk to the scoreboard, baby. Well, there's been plenty of people
01:47with high scoreboards that haven't won this competition. Not a lot, though.
01:51Speaking of the scoreboard, let's tally it up. Let's start with the lowest.
01:55That's Nymphia with 1.25.
01:59Well, if I'm 1.25, technically, they only three and a half wins.
02:04So two wins and two wins.
02:07Four and a four.
02:09I don't have as many wins as like Plain or Sephira, but I definitely think that maybe
02:14some of the wins that they have should have been mine anyways. So I'm just going to count
02:18those mentally.
02:21How's everyone feeling now that we're the top four?
02:23I'm feeling sickening! I'm feeling like so great.
02:28Just praying to the gods above that the next challenge has nothing to do with any comedy
02:32writing or writing of any sort.
02:34Do you watch the show, Tamar?
02:38You made it to the end.
02:39Does that not prove to yourself that you are sickening and you are that bitch?
02:44At some point, you guys should start believing that.
02:46Deep down, I know what needs to be done, but everyone's so good.
02:50It will definitely be a battle and struggle.
02:53Woo!
02:54Top four!
02:56Top four! Top four! Top four! Top four! Top four! Top four!
02:59Booty looking good.
03:02As much as I love my sisters, it's game time.
03:05It is all about me now.
03:06These queens should be shaking in their boots that I'm still here.
03:09Shaking your boots while I walk in my biscuit heels.
03:11It's about to go down.
03:18RuPaul's Drag Race!
03:19The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race receives a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics
03:23and a gag-worthy grand prize of $200,000.
03:27Served by Cash App with extra special guest judge Ronan Farrow.
03:31RuPaul's Drag Race!
03:32Pay the best drag we win!
03:34Drag we win!
03:41It's a new week in the workroom, and we are the top one, two, three, four.
03:47We're definitely not sure if there's going to be elimination.
03:50We're hoping it's going to be a top four, but you know, you never know with Drag Race.
03:54Where is everybody?
03:56I don't know!
03:57It's like I can breathe.
03:59I feel free to just be me now.
04:02Who have you been the whole time?
04:04A bitch who knows?
04:06What I mean is the happy version of me.
04:09The happy version?
04:10Yeah, I feed off of other talented individuals, and I feel like everyone here is very talented.
04:14And we kind of got rid of the rabble and the scraps.
04:17The rabble and the scraps?
04:19She loves to just get her little licks in, but if you try to lick her, she'll be like...
04:23Can I stand up?
04:26Hello, hello, hello!
04:30My top four queens.
04:34Contragulations on making it to the semifinals.
04:36Now, before we leave these hallowed hauls, I want to share some advice.
04:42Stay kind, stay humble, and don't be afraid to play the foe.
04:48Oh, pit crew!
04:52Hello, hello, hello.
04:55I don't like this.
04:55Safety first.
04:57Oh.
04:58Now, for today's mini challenge, you'll be lip-seeking for your life.
05:02Underwater.
05:05That's right.
05:06Aquaboogee.
05:08I am gagged.
05:10I am shook.
05:11I do not want to get in water.
05:13It is too early for this shit.
05:15Now, you've got ten minutes to get into quick swimsuit drag.
05:19And then I'll meet you at the pool.
05:22Let's go.
05:23Go!
05:27Time for a swim.
05:29Well, that doesn't fit.
05:31I don't like the view that I'm seeing right now.
05:36All right, my little mermaids.
05:39Time to play kiddie pool karaoke.
05:42Now, one at a time, you'll submerge your faces and deliver a breathtaking lip sync.
05:50Safira, assume the position.
05:52Wow, look at those jugs.
05:54My goodness.
05:54And they're waterproof, aren't they?
05:55And they're far apart.
05:57Where'd you get those?
05:58We got our ways.
05:58You're not going to tell.
06:00Uh-uh.
06:00You got a breastplate connection, girl.
06:02I got a breastplate connection, honey.
06:04All right, come on, Pakoyma.
06:06Hey!
06:07Let's do it.
06:09Let's fire up that track.
06:13Oh, it's hypnotic.
06:15Oh, ho, ho, ho!
06:17Is that what you call a breaststroke?
06:20Hey, kitty girl, it's your world when you walk the streets up into coffee.
06:27Hey, kitty girl, get your twelfth in the gift of coffee.
06:32You're a bugger, but I'm up and clean.
06:35RuPaul is trying to waterboard us.
06:37I truly hope to never have to do this again.
06:40Now he's your rump, rump, rump, rump, rump.
06:42People say that when the dog is away.
06:45Hey, kitty girl, don't not come out and play.
06:48Hey, kitty girl, it's your world when you walk the streets up into coffee.
06:55Hey, kitty girl, get your twelfth in the disco.
06:59He's going to fuck about a rock and queen.
07:02Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:05You're watching Adult Swim.
07:07Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:09Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:17Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:17Well, I guess not everybody knows the lyrics to my song.
07:24Well, well, well.
07:25Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.
07:29The winner of your final mini challenge is...
07:34Safira!
07:35Yeah!
07:37You've won a trip or two to the Almar Resort and Mantamar Beach Club in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
07:45Ooh!
07:45Oh, fun!
07:47Airfare included.
07:48PV?
07:49Oh, my God!
07:50It makes drowning myself worth it.
07:53Now, Ladykins, earlier this season, we had fun doing a book cover mini challenge.
07:59But now, as the top four queens, I want you to dig deeper.
08:05Inspired by my memoir, The House of Hidden Meaning, for your final maxi challenge,
08:11I want you to put pen to paper and write stories about your life.
08:17Okay.
08:18Okay.
08:19We have to, ta-da, write our own book.
08:23I did say I hope this week's challenge has nothing to do with writing and, um...
08:30Then, you need to come up with a catchy title for your book.
08:33Next, you'll pose the random house down for a cover shoot with celebrity photographer, Albert Sanchez.
08:40Fabulous.
08:41And last but not least, each of you will be interviewed by the award-winning podcaster,
08:47the co-host of Las Culturistas, Matt Rogers.
08:52Matt Rogers!
08:53Now, this will be the first of many interviews in your drag race career.
08:56So, keep it fun, keep it interesting, and don't forget to plug your book.
09:02Now, will your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent thrust you to the top of the bestseller list?
09:09Or leave you at the bottom of the dollar bin?
09:13And who will make it through to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race?
09:17This is turning into a real page-turner.
09:20Racers, start your engines.
09:22And may the best drag queen win.
09:24Woo-hoo!
09:27We're gonna write.
09:28How the fuck did this happen?
09:30Because you literally said, I don't want a writing challenge.
09:36The last time I wrote something was, like, in college, probably.
09:39So, it's been a couple years.
09:41First thing I have to do is write some stories about my life for this memoir.
09:45This challenge is about letting your audience in, and I'm going to be vulnerable.
09:49What are you thinking about?
09:50I was thinking about writing about how my situation was growing up,
09:53and, you know, how it led to me, like, where I am now.
09:55More like a serious tone, I guess, to it.
09:57Yeah.
09:58Or truthful.
09:58Yeah.
09:59I kind of do prefer to keep everything light-hearted and ha-ha when it comes to drag.
10:02Very Plain Jane-esque.
10:04Great writers also have to read books, and I read social media posts.
10:07So, I want to write stories that contextualize the fun, whore-ish bitch that Plain Jane is.
10:14Now's not the time for the dead grandma story.
10:16I don't know.
10:18Mm-mm-mm-mm.
10:20You got this.
10:21All right.
10:21You're funny.
10:22You're all looking.
10:24Are you comfortable with writing?
10:26I don't like to do it, but I am good at it.
10:27I'm going to, like, write a little bit about my family and, like, my spirituality as well.
10:33Oh, my God.
10:34Now I have to dig deep into the depths of my memories.
10:37What kind of book do you want to write?
10:39Something that doesn't land me in the bottom.
10:42I've had a hard time writing lyrics and jokes, but this is writing.
10:46I don't necessarily have to be funny.
10:48I just need a good story.
10:49Are you going to write why you like bananas so much?
10:52The banana.
10:54The banana?
10:55Banana Dan.
10:56The banana man.
10:57The banana man?
10:58Not even the banana woman.
11:00Is that seriously the name of your book?
11:02No!
11:03I was thinking maybe, like, Breaking Wind, The Art of Letting Go.
11:09Everything's all about farting.
11:13Can I do a better fart?
11:18No, I'm not giving up.
11:23Nymphia, you in danger, girl.
11:26Oh, the last one.
11:28That was a good one, the last one.
11:32There you go.
11:33You got it.
11:34Nymphia, come on over.
11:35It's now time for a memoir book cover photo shoot.
11:39Even though I do feel very nervous writing, I do love photo shoots.
11:42And I'm another person in front of a camera, so I feel very confident for once.
11:48Say hello to celebrity photographer Albert Sanchez.
11:51Hi, Albert Sanchez.
11:52Hello.
11:53So, Nymphia, what's the name of your book?
11:55Breaking Wind, The Art of Letting Go.
11:58This outfit exemplifies that title, doesn't it?
12:01Yes.
12:01So, why don't we start with some really graphic full body shots.
12:05Okay.
12:05Okay.
12:05Can you lift the arms a little so we can get some air in between?
12:08Okay.
12:08Yes, there.
12:09Perfect.
12:10Yes.
12:10I'm serving a ferocious cat woman.
12:13Can you show teeth?
12:15A pleasant mouth that is open and inviting.
12:18I thought an inviting mouth looks like this.
12:23Let's try the Cosmo cover on her.
12:25This is what it looks like.
12:26It's like this.
12:27See this arm?
12:28Disappears.
12:28It's back here.
12:30That's it right there.
12:31Love, love, love.
12:32Surprisingly, there's no bananas in my book.
12:35I feel like it would be interesting to show a different side to Nymphia.
12:39I am serving strength and also letting go.
12:42You want to do this kind of thing where you get the silhouette is very delineated, you know?
12:47I'll take that.
12:49Take this foot and put it a little forward so it doesn't have to bend.
12:52Like, yes.
12:53Oh, nice.
12:54Maybe you can lift one leg.
12:56Oh, nice, nice, nice, nice.
12:58I know it seems very effortless, but girl, these shoes are so heavy.
13:03I'm like...
13:05Oh, boy, that's great silhouette.
13:07I think we got it.
13:07We think we got it.
13:08Well done.
13:09I know I killed that photo shoot.
13:11One last push of self-confidence and we're there.
13:15I love photo shoots, but I'm definitely, like, a little bit nervous to have this one-on-one time with
13:21Rue.
13:21So, Q, what is the title of your book?
13:23Alphabet Soup, Savor Every Bite.
13:25That's a long title.
13:27Do you bite soup?
13:28You know, you take a bite out of life, whether it's good or bad.
13:31You have to, like, live in it and enjoy it.
13:33So, for the cover of your book, what are you thinking?
13:36Head and shoulders, full body?
13:37Um, maybe a head and shoulders, or, yeah, the full body.
13:42Let's do a full body.
13:43Okay, I would like to do, like, nice.
13:46Or, like, a...
13:48Let's work on this one.
13:49Hold on.
13:49You'll go one, two, three.
13:51Look!
13:51This maxi challenge is also kind of a branding challenge.
13:54And, you know, my drag brand is fun and joy and, you know, fashion and camp.
13:58Connect with the camera.
13:59Like me, like my book.
14:01So, I just really want to sell that through, like, my book cover.
14:04Chin down, but long neck.
14:05I know it sounds weird.
14:06You want to get your lips over your teeth.
14:08Say with your mouth, do you like pussy?
14:11As in pussycat.
14:12Do you like pussy?
14:14Twist that body.
14:15Chin down.
14:17Say it again.
14:18Do you like pussy?
14:19That's it.
14:20You can't handle all this pussy.
14:22You can't handle it, honey.
14:25Rue and I are connecting.
14:26She's giving me a lot of poses to do.
14:28Put this here.
14:29Yeah.
14:29You're sexy.
14:30Cosmo cover.
14:31I'm feeling great about how this is turning out.
14:34This is my cookie lion look.
14:36I am the queen of the empire, serving a 15-foot-long ponytail and snakeskin all over.
14:42So, what's the title of your book?
14:43Slew Foot.
14:44Consider your book sold.
14:46I'm going to buy that book.
14:47Do you have any ideas for how you want the book cover to look?
14:50I had a couple of ideas, mainly this around me.
14:52Here, let me help that.
14:53You want this sort of wrapped around you.
14:56To do a photo shoot with the legendary mother?
14:59Come on now.
15:00Dream.
15:01You know your shapes, don't you?
15:03Yes, ma'am.
15:03Come on, Source Magazine.
15:05Come on, Latoya.
15:07Where your head is, that three-quarter is always your friend.
15:10Oh, she wrapped up all up in his heels.
15:13Yeah.
15:15Come on, Sequoia.
15:18Me and Mama Roo get along like old friends.
15:20I'm so happy to have this experience.
15:22This is something I'll never forget.
15:23Come on, where Lil' Kim and them at?
15:25Yes.
15:26Slew Foot, the series.
15:28Coming this fall on BET.
15:32The own network, honey.
15:33Yes, honey.
15:34We are good.
15:35Very well done.
15:36Thank you so much.
15:37All right.
15:38Well, we'll call your agency and send the check right over.
15:41Thank you so much.
15:42I am walking on sunshine.
15:44I nailed this photo shoot.
15:47Hi.
15:47So, Plain Jane, you're missing a shoe.
15:50I am.
15:51So, my book title is Plain Crash.
15:54Yes.
15:55An expose, How I Walked Away from Disaster.
15:58I know the premise, but later, do we have the option to put the shoe on?
16:01Absolutely.
16:01You could look beautiful after a plane crash.
16:03Yeah, absolutely.
16:04Right.
16:04Yeah.
16:05I feel a little intimidated.
16:06Rue knows exactly what she wants.
16:08She is an art director in this moment, honey.
16:11I just survived a crash, and I'm going to Disney World.
16:15Relax into this pose.
16:16Make it feel natural and cover girl.
16:18And this hair, can you take it and make it go all the way on that side without it falling
16:22off?
16:23Yeah.
16:24Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
16:27I'm a top model, and Rue is Tyra in this moment.
16:30Mother is getting me together over here.
16:32Ready?
16:32And one, two, three.
16:34Yes.
16:34Work the fan.
16:35Connect with the camera.
16:37I'm really feeling my, like, natural woman fantasy with my human hair blowing in the wind.
16:43You just survived a crash, and you look gorgeous.
16:49I'm scared to even venture into that dream of a fifth wind.
16:54We are done.
16:55Awesome.
16:57But, hey, I mean, anything is possible, so we'll see.
17:03Hello, authoress, Plain Jane.
17:05It's time to promote my memoir with Matt Rogers.
17:08I feel great about the stories that I've written.
17:10They're funny.
17:11They represent who I am as a drag queen.
17:13I'm ready to tell all and really sell my book.
17:15I am simply thrilled to be here with top four contestant on season 16 of Rue Paul's Drag Race,
17:21and the author of Plain Crash, How I Walked Away from Disaster, Plain Jane.
17:26How the hell are you?
17:27Well, I walked away unscathed from disaster, so I-
17:30There is not a scathe on you.
17:32Oh, thank you.
17:33Yeah.
17:33That's so sweet of you.
17:34Well, you haven't seen, you know, my down south region, you know?
17:37We're here to talk about your book.
17:39Okay, fantastic.
17:40So, in your book, you speak in a chapter called Being a Bitch Can Be an Act of Kindness.
17:46Yes.
17:46About how one of your good Judys was a bitch to you, and it served you well.
17:51Before, I was this glamorous woman that you see today.
17:53I was just a baby drag queen, a booger, if you will.
17:56And six months into sort of practicing makeup, I thought that I was ready for the spotlight.
18:01Yes.
18:02And my friend said, girl, you look like a clown.
18:05A clown.
18:05Girl, you look like a clown.
18:06And this image that I was envisioning faded away and was replaced with reality.
18:11Yeah.
18:11That I looked insane.
18:13But that same friend who really woke me from my trance ended up being the same person who
18:18encouraged me to continue.
18:20I followed my friend's advice, and, you know, lo and behold, I became gorgeous and, you
18:25know, completely textureless, and I won't hear otherwise.
18:28So, do you find that being a bitch can be an act of kindness has been something you've
18:32applied in this competition?
18:34You know, in this, throughout this competition, throughout this process, I've realized
18:36that they're sort of attacked to being bitchy.
18:39Uh-huh.
18:40You've had to realize that?
18:41I have been bluntly honest with some girls in this competition, and some of them haven't
18:47liked it.
18:47But at the end of the day, guess where they are sitting?
18:50At home, and I'm right here.
18:52So maybe they should have listened instead of calling me a bitch.
18:54Yeah.
18:54My good friend Amanda, who I know is watching this, you know, I still love you, girl, and
18:59I'm rooting for you.
19:00For the other members of the top four, if you had to be brutally honest in a gift-giving
19:04way, what would you say to them?
19:06Ah!
19:06Yeah!
19:08Okay.
19:08You know, for Q, it would be her makeup.
19:10For Nymphia, it would be her charisma.
19:12And for Safira, it would be her taste.
19:15Ooh!
19:16Sometimes, when an interviewer asks you to get a little shady, you don't have to do that.
19:21So, you know, work those out, girls.
19:23Love you so much!
19:24Mwah, mwah, mwah!
19:25Ah, well, good luck in the top four.
19:28I think that you're amazing.
19:29You're so funny.
19:30And the book is Plane Crash, How I Walked Away from Disaster.
19:34And there's clearly many life lessons in there.
19:36That's right.
19:36I'm hoping for that number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list.
19:40You know, fingers crossed.
19:40Look out, RuPaul.
19:42Not to compete with Mama, though.
19:43Maybe number two.
19:44Maybe number two.
19:46Hello, dear.
19:46How you doing?
19:47Oh, I'm doing great.
19:48So, I'm reading in your book, Slew Foot, Embracing All of Me, which, can you just explain,
19:53what is slew foot?
19:54So, I have hip dysplasia, and my foot slews out to the left.
19:58We got a little slewage.
19:59Whenever I walk, and so I kind of walk like a pigeon.
20:01I mean, like a penguin.
20:02Like a penguin.
20:03Like a penguin.
20:03Like a pigeon penguin.
20:04A pigeon penguin.
20:06So, there is an amazing chapter of your book called Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen.
20:10That is all about your grandmother, Nona.
20:14My Nona, yeah.
20:14Your Nona.
20:15So, if you could describe Nona in one word, what would it be?
20:19Loving.
20:20Why do you think it is that little gay boys gravitate towards their grandmothers?
20:24Because I have that, too.
20:25I always have a soft spot for my grandmother, and I do feel like she got me.
20:29Oddly enough, my Nona had a very big problem with my homosexuality.
20:33Oh, really?
20:33And so, she kind of was like, I don't want you to go to hell.
20:36And my mom was like, you know, that's not what sends you to hell, right?
20:42Right.
20:42And also, I have a thing, that if you have a problem with me, I will give you some space.
20:47And then when I come back, if you still have the same problem, I'll give you more space.
20:51But typically...
20:52They missed you.
20:53They missed me.
20:53Yeah.
20:54They always missed me.
20:55I mean, come on.
20:56I'm going to miss you when you leave.
20:57I'm already having separation anxiety.
20:59All right.
21:00Just going back to the title of your book, how are you, Safira, embracing all of you now?
21:05I used to get made fun of for the fact that I walked like that.
21:09And RuPaul calls me Slewfoot all the time.
21:12And at first, I was a little embarrassed by it.
21:14Really?
21:14But I realized it endeared her toward me.
21:16And it made me just embrace not only my Slewfoot, but a lot of things about myself.
21:23I embraced the fact that I was homeless once.
21:25Yeah.
21:25I accept me when I'm happy.
21:27I accept me when I'm sad.
21:28I accept me when I'm being a bitch.
21:30But I always accept me.
21:32It's so easy to talk to Safira.
21:34I mean, she's such a star.
21:35When she walked over to me, I actually felt a little bit intimidated.
21:39But when I'm speaking to her, she's looking me dead in the eyes.
21:42And I'm immediately on her level.
21:43Now, I guess everyone reading your book can accept the Slew things about themselves.
21:47We're all a little Slew.
21:49Don't forget, buy my book, Slewfoot, embracing all of me.
21:54RuPaul's Drag Race top four contestant.
21:57Has that sunk in yet?
21:58It is absolutely wild.
22:01So were you one of those girls that walked in and was like, I'm going to the end.
22:04I'm top four.
22:04Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
22:06You were feeling your fantasy from the beginning.
22:08Yes, you have to.
22:08So here we are.
22:09Alphabet soup, savor every bite.
22:12I'm guessing that has to do with the cue of it all.
22:14Yes, you know, the cue, just soak that all in, just taste that for a moment.
22:18So from Kansas City, Missouri to here, what's the drag journey been like for you?
22:23My mom introduced me to theater, and I did theater all throughout high school.
22:27And then I started doing drag, like, my final year of college.
22:30It felt like I finally belonged somewhere.
22:32Right.
22:32You know, a lot of queens that I talk to say that their mother actually is in their drag
22:38in some way.
22:38Do you feel like your mother is represented in your drag?
22:41Yeah, I definitely feel like our humor is, like, very much the same.
22:45And, you know, we did all this artistic stuff together, and she always was my biggest supporter
22:50in that when other people weren't.
22:51So, you know, a lot of her is in my art form.
22:54So speaking of family, you talk about what it was like to grow up in a low-income household.
22:59I want to know, was there a moment when you realized that your family maybe had a little
23:03bit less than everyone else was in a different situation?
23:06Usually, like, around Christmas time, because my mom, I could always tell my mom got, like,
23:10in a little bit of, like, a sadder mood.
23:11And that's when I kind of started to realize there were a lot of times where our utilities
23:15were shut off, or, you know, like, we had to go eat at our grandma's.
23:18Your mom was a single mom, and she raised four children.
23:21So it's probably those little things that everyone takes for granted that she had to
23:24work extra hard.
23:26So if she's listening to this podcast, what would you tell mom listening?
23:30I would just want to tell you that I love you, and thank you for everything that you've
23:35done for me.
23:36And I love you so much.
23:37Just sharing about how she came from very humble beginnings, that is the kind of thing
23:42that really endears you to people.
23:44That has to be so cool to be able to look back and know that there were such humble beginnings,
23:50and now you look around at all of this.
23:53That has to be really surreal.
23:55Yeah, that's kind of what my book is about.
23:57It's about savor every bite, you know, the bad things and the good things and all the things
24:02that happen to you in your life.
24:03You know, you learn something from it, and it leads you to where you are.
24:08You know, bad things can happen, but your life can still move on in a very positive way.
24:12Hopefully see me with a crown later on.
24:14Thank you so much.
24:16Nymphia Wind, how are you?
24:18I'm doing great.
24:18I'm glad I got the memo of all black.
24:22Well, I got to read a couple stories from your book, Breaking Wind, The Art of Letting Go.
24:25I think you're so funny.
24:27One of your stories, you tell a date story, and you talk of a harrowing experience of
24:32being ghosted by a date.
24:34So we did go out in the park for our second date.
24:36So I went on the slide on all fours, because I didn't want my ass to get dirty.
24:40You're on a second date, you're getting on all fours.
24:41I get it.
24:42And then after I do that, I feel like this gunky feeling here.
24:45And I was like, ooh, what is that?
24:46So I reached down, and I touched it, and I looked up, and I was like, I think I stepped
24:50on shit.
24:51I stepped on dog poo, and then it somehow traveled upwards onto my hand.
24:55And did he help you clean off?
24:57No.
24:57You know what?
24:58I always say, if you can't accept me at my covered in dog poo, you do not deserve me at
25:01my top four on RuPaul's Drag Race.
25:03Very much that.
25:03You were very honest and candid in this story.
25:06And then you do get a little bit more revealing.
25:08You talk about what it was like growing up in Taiwan and being inundated with images and media
25:14from the West.
25:16Yeah.
25:16You know, growing up, seeing a white man, high features, a tall nose and the brow bones
25:20and the thick brows and the beard, the beauty standard of the world was that.
25:25And I was like, looking into the mirror, I was like, I look nothing like that at all.
25:29It just really created this self-doubting, like, I don't feel attractive because I don't
25:34look like that.
25:34Do I have the ability to attract anyone that would like me for just my natural features?
25:39I just never knew if I could ever escape that, you know?
25:43So I always played with makeup and cross-dressing.
25:46I feel like I could really change up how I look and I can escape my face in a sense.
25:52It's like drag helps you bring out a fantasy, but also helped hide things in a way.
25:58Yeah, I really hated looking in the mirror in general, like growing up.
26:02Yeah.
26:02Even until now, I don't have the habit of staring myself into the mirror unless I have to do
26:07makeup.
26:08And that is still something that I am building upon my confidence.
26:13So I feel like drag, even though may not be able to solve the problem, it really did help
26:17me to, you know, build my own self-confidence and even without the makeup and still looking
26:22in the mirror and feel like, you know what?
26:23There is something beautiful there.
26:24Nymphia, I can tell, is really opening up to me the more I talk to her.
26:28And I'm excited about that because she's got a very unique story to tell.
26:32Just because someone appears like they are taking on the world and are extremely confident,
26:36there is still that insecurity and vulnerability at the core, which every single person can
26:41identify with.
26:42Hopefully it can help someone out there who's still struggling and finding themselves and
26:46finding what's beautiful about them.
26:48So, Nymphia Wind, the book is Breaking Wind, The Art of Letting Go.
26:53Break wind and break legs in the competition.
26:55In the interview, I just felt really good because all I had to do was just be myself.
26:59Now walk that stunning ass off this runway.
27:01Oh, you want to see my ass again?
27:02I really do, actually.
27:03Okay, bye.
27:04There it goes.
27:05Oh, wow.
27:06Amazing.
27:07I said, these queens can underestimate me, but the one who's winning is me.
27:24It's a new day in the workroom, and it's judgment day, and I am in my self-confident
27:30era, and I'm believing in myself that I am absolutely not going to land in the bottom
27:34two.
27:35This has been such a wild ride.
27:38And we made it.
27:39And we made it.
27:40And we made it.
27:41How do y'all feel about the challenge?
27:43I feel really good.
27:44My look was sickening.
27:45My interview went really sickening.
27:46I'm sickening.
27:48There's just some bold claims.
27:51I think I have a great chance of winning this challenge.
27:53I think my stories are insightful as to, like, who I am.
27:57I feel good about the challenge because this challenge was all about literally being ourselves.
28:01Yeah, literally.
28:02And that's what I kind of excel at.
28:06How do you feel, Namphia?
28:07Oh, I felt really good doing it.
28:09I felt comfortable.
28:10And finally, for once, after a challenge, I feel confident with what I did.
28:14Good.
28:16Everybody is feeling great about how they did, so that kind of, you know, worries me a little
28:22bit because somebody has to be in the top, somebody has to be in the bottom.
28:25What do you think was your strongest point in the competition and what do you think was,
28:30like, your weakest?
28:31I think my strongest part of the competition was the competition.
28:34Oh, just the whole thing?
28:35I just think I was strong the whole time.
28:37Just eight.
28:37The weakest part of my competition was the makeover challenge, but I felt like I was able to
28:42let go in that lip sync and really have fun.
28:44I want to be in the finale so badly.
28:46So get out of my way.
28:47It's time for me to go get my crown.
28:48Thank you, girls.
28:49It's been nice seeing y'all.
28:50I'll see y'all after.
28:51I'm going to take y'all on vacation.
28:54I think one of my highest moments was the outfit I made for the goth challenge was just,
28:58like, beyond anything I thought I could do, like, in that amount of time.
29:02In a day.
29:02In a day.
29:03And the lowest, actually, my lowest is not even when I was in the bottom two.
29:06I feel like my lowest was, like, how hard I was being on myself for, like, the bathroom
29:10challenge.
29:11Yeah.
29:12I think my journey here at Drag Race has been a really, really exciting one.
29:16I've won two challenges.
29:17I've lip synced for the win.
29:18I've lip synced to stay here.
29:20That says something about America's Next Drag Superstar, that they are this multi-dimensional
29:24person that has their up days and low days.
29:27I will say that bathroom challenge kind of got to me as well, just because it happened
29:31at the point that it happened at.
29:34Girl, it got to me, too, because of you.
29:36It got to me through you.
29:38Through me, yeah.
29:39But then you turned it the fuck out.
29:40Exactly.
29:41We did.
29:42Yes, I've had a moment of self-doubt where, you know, I did sort of let the pressure crack
29:48me a bit, but I pieced myself together and, yeah, I just went full steam ahead.
29:54How about you, Nymphie?
29:55What was your lowest?
29:56I think it's similar to Q, where in the middle of the competition I was really insecure
30:00about myself and just really not sure.
30:02I could really never tell with you whether you were unsure or, like, playing a game.
30:07I'm just really struggling.
30:09Nobody believes you, Nymphie.
30:11I'm so stressed out.
30:12Girl, don't play this time.
30:14What kind of game can I play or, like, gain from if I act like I'm just nervous?
30:18Because you would be saying that you're, like, you know, not confident and then you would
30:23come out and you would, in, like, a sickening runway look and you would kill the challenge.
30:26No, because that for me is when I feel very insecure is when I'm turned off.
30:30Like, I just feel, like, those are genuine feelings where I feel very nervous and really
30:34in doubt and insecure.
30:36But, like, on the stage I, like, instantly have to turn on because you don't have any
30:39other choice.
30:40You don't, yeah.
30:40I can understand how these other queens can see this as a strategy, but honestly, this
30:46is just how my brain works and, like, there's no strategy behind it.
30:49All my struggles and all my self-doubt are all real.
30:52And it's just a process for me.
30:56What was everybody's, like, first impression of each other when we, like, first met?
31:01You know, Safira and Q, I first met when y'all walked into the workroom.
31:04And Safira walked in with those really bright contact lenses.
31:07They were very striking.
31:09And her breasts, they've truly experienced a growth throughout the season.
31:15She said, first Fisher-Price, now the world!
31:18Yeah, yeah, that's right.
31:19But yeah, Safira definitely had a presence when she first walked into that room.
31:22And Q, on the other hand, was stumbling over her two left feet, honey.
31:27I don't know why you say that.
31:27I walked in just fine.
31:29She was wobbling, wobbling on those kidney heels.
31:32I think Plain and I are very similar to, like, my sisters back home.
31:35We always read each other to absolute filth.
31:37And, you know, that's part of what makes us so close.
31:40It's kind of like when everybody says, I'm the only one that couldn't dance,
31:42but then Plain would get up there and rattle her bones around on the stage.
31:46Excuse me, rattle my bones.
31:48Not rattle her bones.
31:51I'm not saying that you did.
31:55Get her ass!
31:56Get her ass!
31:58Get her ass!
31:59My rattling bones look far more graceful, delicate, and coordinated than anything that you could ever pull out, Ms. Q.
32:07You know, I may be rattling my bones out of drag, but there's a lot of padding in drag and
32:12it looks really good.
32:12It did look good.
32:13I have the body for it.
32:15Unlike my sweet sisters, you know, sitting up here with me today.
32:17You have the oatmeal brows for it.
32:19Shit!
32:20Sister.
32:21Y'all.
32:21You did.
32:25God damn!
32:27Shut her!
32:28The love language of a drag queen is definitely throwing shade.
32:31So I feel like as a group, season 16 has really bonded in a way that we're so comfortable with
32:36each other.
32:36I need to work on my blending stone if he doesn't read me, so y'all have fun.
32:39I mean, you're kind of a lost cause in a sense.
32:42You've been trying for many episodes and I don't see that blending getting any better.
32:46She said, well, I mean, if I were you, I would just stop.
32:49Sister, just like you've been trying for a win for many episodes, but it's not gonna happen.
32:52We'll see.
32:53We have one last challenge.
32:55And it's your favorite.
32:56A writing challenge.
32:57Yeah.
32:58And a speaking challenge.
32:59Mm-hmm.
33:00It should go really well.
33:02They be shading us, but, you know.
33:04Shading me?
33:05They were shading you, mama.
33:06Don't bring me into that.
33:08Don't, don't, don't.
33:10Mama, don't bring me into that.
33:12They were getting your ass.
33:13Shit!
33:15They be shading.
33:16They're shading you, bitch.
33:16Not me.
33:18I'm hoping there's a top four.
33:19I really don't want any of these girls to go home.
33:21I kind of want us to just like go into the finale, hand in hand.
33:25We made it.
33:26All we know is that this is the semifinals.
33:29Which I don't remember her ever using this term before, so.
33:32But I think there's gonna be an elimination tonight.
33:34And that's kind of scary.
33:37Oof.
33:51Hey, girl.
33:52Put the bass in your walk.
33:54Head to toe.
33:55Let your whole body talk.
33:58Woo!
33:59Woo!
34:00Welcome to the semifinals of RuPaul's Drag Race.
34:03It's the president of the Drag Race book club, Michelle Visage.
34:07And that's because I could judge a book and his cover.
34:12And the gorgeous T.S. Madison.
34:15Now, Maddie, are you well read?
34:17I like big books and I cannot lie.
34:21And welcome back to the show author and journalist Ronan Farrow.
34:25Ru, it is the semifinals.
34:27I haven't been this nervous since I took a paternity test.
34:29Oop!
34:32This week we challenged our top four queens to launch their new books.
34:37And tonight on the runway, category is Fandango.
34:41Racers, start your engines.
34:43And may the best drag queen win.
34:48A first cue.
34:51Fangirling out already.
34:52That is too, too good.
34:55I'm just reveling in this moment.
34:57I'm wearing this really structured orange fan tutu.
35:01And then it goes into a tight little corset that is beautifully encrusted.
35:04And I have a huge fan back piece that is just like framing this ornate hair.
35:09It's giving a little bit ballerina.
35:10It's all screaming fans in like a really cute, intricate way.
35:14You can find her on OnlyFans.
35:18Safira.
35:19Big fan of this look.
35:22This is my final runway and I choose to walk it like an African queen.
35:26I'm giving you African fabrics.
35:28And then, boom, I'm giving you these pleated fans that fall down.
35:33Look up Roberto Capucci, the fan.
35:36Honey, these titties are nice in space.
35:38I am a winner.
35:39You know what you call that hairstyle?
35:41What?
35:41Quag and Will Watushi!
35:43Yeah!
35:44Nymphia win.
35:45Oh, it's Marie Fantonette!
35:47Let them eat cake.
35:48This is an Asian version of Marie Antoinette.
35:51So I'm wearing a period dress with all the clouds and the dragons and the waves.
35:56And I'm fanning myself and suddenly realize I'm so hot.
36:00And I flip out my fan skirt and realize it's cause my pussy is on fire!
36:04Oh!
36:09That's what I call a fire crotch.
36:12Playing J.
36:14Oh, mighty Aphrodite could never.
36:16I'm eloquently floating down this runway as if I'm descending from Mount Olympus.
36:22My titties are glistening and they're being framed beautifully by this encrusted armor piece.
36:30I truly feel like a G-O-D-D-D.
36:32Wait, there's not three Ds in Goddess.
36:35But there will be in me tonight.
36:37Talk about champagne problems.
36:40Bitch, please.
36:43My top four queens, welcome!
36:46I gotta say, I had a great time with y'all yesterday during the photo session.
36:50Mother-daughter time.
36:52And it's been an amazing season.
36:54I know how hard you have all worked, how we've pushed you to the limit.
36:59You are some strong queens.
37:02Creative, loving, funny, wonderful.
37:06So keep that in mind.
37:08Not just tonight, but forever.
37:10And now, it's time for the judges' critiques.
37:13Up first, Q.
37:15Q, this has been so fun to watch you in this competition.
37:18You have been fighting.
37:20You've grown throughout this competition.
37:22You've been very vulnerable.
37:24And in the podcast, I learned so much more about you.
37:28I was really getting emotional because I have a very strong connection with my mother.
37:32And I'm so glad that I learned that about you because it made me understand why you fight so hard
37:37to be, you know, who you are and where you are.
37:40But I felt in some of the looks on the book cover out here tonight, I'm not seeing what is
37:45clearly a life story that has given you a lot to say.
37:49I really wish that you would have worn this outfit right here for the cover of your book.
37:54Your book is called Q, alphabet soup, savor every bite.
37:57It's cute.
37:58It doesn't really tell me what it is.
38:01I would have probably chosen something else.
38:03Q is such a great name.
38:05You could go James Bond.
38:07Yes, you can go James Bond.
38:08You don't know me.
38:10Oh, I like that, Michelle.
38:12Is there anything else you want to add?
38:13I just want to say thank you so much for letting me be here on this stage.
38:17It's been a dream of mine for a long time and I'm really happy to show what I've shown here.
38:21Well, you've earned your position on this stage and I'm so proud of you.
38:27All right, up next, Safira.
38:28Safira, you got a new fan in me.
38:32That reveal was the single most dramatic moment we got on the runway.
38:35You know, so much of powerful drag is about being oneself defiantly.
38:40I think you achieved that.
38:42You're telling stories about your Nona that made me feel I know you.
38:45You have the ability to put people at ease and be very forthright.
38:50When I read pieces of your book and watched you on the podcast, I understood you more.
38:55You stomping out all those people who doubted you.
38:58And you counting them up like one you, two you.
39:00I'm stomping you with this blue foot.
39:02And when you're talking about you used to be self-conscious about,
39:04it's so funny how we see that so differently from this side of the table.
39:08I love that you grabbed the bull by the horns and called your book Slew Foot.
39:13You reclaimed it and made it something that you could take to tell your story.
39:18That's brilliant.
39:19You're there in that Missy Elliott squat.
39:21You are full of defiance.
39:23That's Lil' Kim.
39:26Marketing 101.
39:28Show the Slew Foot.
39:29And that's what you did.
39:32Nymphia wins.
39:33Your book cover photo, as a single piece of photography, my favorite.
39:37It sells exactly who you are.
39:39This look tonight, adorable.
39:40I think my favorite thing, obviously, the fan nails.
39:43To be completely honest, if I never see another Marie Antoinette look on this runway,
39:47nobody will be happier than me.
39:49My favorite part of your look is definitely your hot pussy, girl.
39:52It's just definitely on fire.
39:56Every T is crossed.
39:57Every I is dotted with you.
39:59I don't worry about that.
40:01What I worry about is the self-love that I want to give to you because you deserve it.
40:05It tore me apart hearing the disdain that you experienced when you look in the mirror.
40:10But the fact that you shared it with us was priceless.
40:13Watching your podcast interview, the part of your story that was about Taiwan and your
40:18self-esteem, I was riveted.
40:19During that podcast, we fell in love with you.
40:24You revealed so much of the pain that you've been through.
40:28And by shining a light of awareness on it, that is the cure right there.
40:32Through the course of this competition, you know, you've been a little,
40:36a little squirrely with trying to get a straight answer out of you.
40:38I think a lot of times it's trying to think of what to say, but like with that challenge,
40:43it was like, you know what?
40:43Just like take in a deep breath and relax and really just, because the only thing you have
40:48to do is just be yourself and you're telling your own story.
40:50Please remember that.
40:51That is the answer.
40:52That's the right answer right there.
40:54That's it.
40:55Up next, Plain Jane.
40:58Tonight, you look amazing.
41:01This Aphrodite goddess look, I love all of it.
41:04This looks like a Bob Mackie.
41:05This looks like something that was on the Cher show or the Carol Burnett show.
41:10But your book cover, it didn't do this.
41:14That hair was very small.
41:16It was, it was a human unit.
41:17So they tend to be less, you know, voluminous.
41:19You didn't want to tease her?
41:20Um, she had a little face tease.
41:24We tried to pump up that flat hair.
41:26Oh.
41:26We put a fan on it.
41:29We had, I had you flipping that hair, trying to get some volume up in there.
41:33In the podcast interview, I struggled to see how the pieces come together.
41:37You know, there was like slightly shadier part of the discussion.
41:39But then the other stories didn't connect to that.
41:41Nor did they really connect with the theme of walking away from disaster or trauma.
41:45I needed to hear you and I didn't get that.
41:48What I got from this was, you a shady bitch.
41:52This book is about you.
41:54And I didn't know who you were.
41:56Every time I go and talk to you in the workroom, I could see you go into your head to
42:01be very deliberate about what you're saying.
42:03Why do you think you don't reveal more of the underbelly?
42:08I feel very, very powerful and very secure in myself when I'm in drag.
42:13Mm-hmm.
42:14And I don't necessarily feel like that very much when I'm out of drag.
42:18So I've kind of built up this persona and that's what I kind of lead with as plain Jane.
42:24Yeah, no, listen, I understand completely.
42:26You just, in terms of marketing, in terms of show business, in terms of life,
42:30it's revealing the soft underbelly that allows people to love you.
42:34Thank you so much.
42:37Thank you, Queens.
42:39I think we've heard enough.
42:40While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
42:46All right.
42:47Just between us girlfriends, I want to know what you think.
42:50Let's start with Q.
42:52Listen, Q has kind of killed it throughout the competition, save from a few times.
42:56Right out the box where we fell in love with her in the talent show.
42:58And then she did that gorgeous welcome to the dollhouse.
43:01She won that wine.
43:02See you next Wednesday.
43:03That huge coat, it was absolutely gorgeous.
43:05And then she did the DragCon 1980.
43:07It had the red ribbon collar where she then came out to us as positive.
43:10And that was very honest and vulnerable.
43:12You know, I can see that this is an incredibly strong queen
43:15who's capable of really inventive, interesting looks.
43:18I just didn't see that on display in this episode enough.
43:21The look for the book cover, I wanted more.
43:23She chose this Belle A-line design, but it was all frilly and stuff.
43:27So yes, it's beautiful as is everything that she makes,
43:29but she couldn't do much with it as far as the shape goes.
43:32And that's what we got, her standing in a bowl of alphabet soup.
43:35And I'm not sure that really tells me what the book is about.
43:38I didn't sense who Q is.
43:41In the podcast, once Q starts opening up about her mom, there's something real there.
43:46But that was quite late in the game.
43:48You know, she wants to win all the time and you can kind of see her striving for it.
43:52So when she doesn't do as well, you could also see the disappointment.
43:54And I worry that she's a little too hard on herself when she doesn't do as well.
43:58All right, let's talk about Safira.
44:00The podcast just made me say, I love you because I am you.
44:04And I love a person who operates in forgiveness.
44:07Now in this competition, she started out a winner with reveal yourself and then her James Brown.
44:13And of course, one of our favorite looks in this whole season, her DragCon 1980 look.
44:17Such a fantastic queen.
44:19I could see Safira doing a book tour for real.
44:23Mm-hmm.
44:23And I would buy that book.
44:25I would buy that book too.
44:26I'm gonna buy anything called Slew Foot.
44:28That's it.
44:29I want some barbecue Slew Foot.
44:31I want some one Slew Foot.
44:34This look that she had tonight was sickening, honey.
44:38I mean, I felt completely in love with the way she painted.
44:42I liked the way the blue was on her.
44:43She fixed a breastplate.
44:44She's listening to everything and she's putting it into motion.
44:48Nymphia.
44:49Now, Nymphia has really nailed it every single time she's come out on this runway.
44:53She won the ball, y'all.
44:55She had so many incredible looks.
44:57Her faster pussycat wig wig.
44:59The buttoad, the dancing that she did was absolutely glorious.
45:02But the thing that I've struggled with Nymphia is she's so uncomfortable in her own skin.
45:08And then we got the podcast.
45:10And when she stopped doing that run around thing that she does all the time because that's her defense.
45:15That was the death of old Nymphia and the rebirth.
45:18We watched it happen.
45:19I felt like I was seeing a queen discovering herself in real time.
45:23You know, you're absolutely right.
45:24Tonight, she really came into her own power.
45:27That book cover rule, Grace Jones, yes.
45:29Uh-huh.
45:30It was everything.
45:31It was perfection.
45:33I think tonight was a massive breakthrough for Nymphia.
45:36Plain Jane.
45:37Plain Jane had us at Burger Fingers.
45:40She has been such a powerhouse from the beginning.
45:42It made you look.
45:43The Octomom she chose for the powerful mother, you know.
45:46Snatch Game.
45:47Snatch Game.
45:48It was amazing to watch.
45:50What really turned it for me was the way she turned out Lazy Susan.
45:54It was so amazing.
45:55But the podcast interview really suggested to me someone who doesn't know what her story is or how to sell
46:01it yet.
46:02She had the opportunity to make me feel a warm sensation deep in a place like the rest of the
46:08girls did.
46:09But she didn't.
46:10She took the time to read her competitors that have already gone home.
46:14It just wasn't as charming as Plain Jane actually really is.
46:17She comes from a place of kind of hiding out.
46:19She came out of the closet very late for her and, you know, I think she's used to sort of
46:25hiding.
46:25So I think we got a bit of that.
46:27But at this point in competition, you have to be vulnerable.
46:30Now this book cover is not what I'm used to seeing of her.
46:34The pose was very Cosmo.
46:36It was very Scavulo that pose.
46:37But the hair was too small to balance out the outfit that she wore.
46:40I was surprised because she understands proportion better than almost anybody in this competition.
46:45All right.
46:46Silence.
46:47I've made my decision.
46:48Bring back my girls.
46:51Welcome back, queens.
46:52I've made some decisions.
46:57Nympha, you win.
46:58This week, you practiced the art of letting go.
47:02And it paid off.
47:05Condragulations.
47:06You are the winner of this week's challenge.
47:08Oh, thank you.
47:13I won.
47:14I actually made it happen.
47:15You've won a cash prize of $5,000 presented by Got To Be Color Remix.
47:21And you'll be moving forward to the grand finale.
47:24You know, coming to America, a lot of people believe in me.
47:28So it means a lot to be able to make it to the top good.
47:32I just wanted to make everyone proud.
47:35And hopefully I did that.
47:50I'll be moving forward to the grand finale.
47:59I'll be moving forward to the grand finale.
48:06And finally, what I saw happening is exactly.
48:10I'm so excited.
48:13Q.
48:15Plain Jane.
48:16I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
48:21For the first time in Drag Race herstory, Plain Jane has landed in the bottom two.
48:27Q has become a great friend of mine throughout this competition.
48:30A true sister.
48:31But if this has to be my last push into the final three, I am going to tear that fucking
48:37stage up when I lip sync.
48:38Two fabulous queens stand before me.
48:41Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination.
48:51The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
49:01I'm going to turn this shit out like I deserve to be in the finale.
49:05Good luck and don't fuck it up.
49:37You better be good to me.
49:41Come on.
49:42Come on.
49:44You better be good to me.
49:46I think it's all right.
49:50That we don't need to fight.
49:52We stand up to face and face.
49:57You present your genes.
49:59Yes, I know
50:00You keep telling me that you love
50:02And I really do want to leave
50:06But can't you think I just accept you
50:09And fly a face on show, baby
50:11Anything to blame you
50:13I'm never gonna do it, baby
50:19Be good to meet you
50:26All right, girl, you better shake this here
50:36She is really fighting for her life
50:39I'm just hoping none of them go home
50:41Be good to meet you
50:42Be good to meet you
50:44Because I don't have no use
50:46What you don't still call the truth
50:47And I don't have a time
50:49For your love life
50:51You better be good to meet you
50:53Be good to meet you
50:55Be good to meet you
51:10Ladies, I've made my decision
51:20Plain Jane
51:21Shantae, you stay
51:24You will be moving forward to the grand finale
51:27Thank you, Mama
51:28Thank you so much
51:29You may join the other girls
51:34Thank you for sharing your beauty
51:40Brilliance and bravery with the world
51:43Now, sashay away
51:47I just want to say thank you
51:48I've worked really hard to get to this stage
51:50And it's meant so, so much to me
51:54And I love you guys so much
51:55Thank you
51:58I love you, kid
51:59I love you
51:59I love you so much
52:03Qua!
52:07Getting so close to the top three
52:09It just feels like
52:09I've put everything
52:11All of myself
52:11Into this competition
52:12And it just sucks
52:14Feeling like it wasn't enough
52:15In the end
52:15But I'm gonna move forward
52:17Like I always do
52:18I'm not going anywhere
52:19You top three bitches
52:21Fuck you
52:23But I love you guys so, so much
52:25And I know you guys are gonna kill it
52:27In that finale

53:14Amen!
53:15Alright, now let the music play
