08:53i think jada is trying to be someone she isn't
08:58you're gonna be performing to a messed up take
09:00it's clear that i'm bombing
09:07for today's final maxi challenge we have to perform in a dancing lip syncing las vegas inspired stage show
09:15losing is the new winning
09:18for this challenge we have to write and record an original rap verse for the song losing is the new
09:22winning
09:23losing is the new winning
09:24so i'm on top
09:26look last season the winner had only one win
09:29so if i win this challenge
09:31there's nothing stopping me from making it all the way to the top four
09:34and all the way to the win
09:35i just want to make sure that i'm like writing something that's like really cute and like a good vibe
09:38the hardest part about writing the lyrics
09:41is writing the damn lyrics
09:43baby it's a struggle
09:44did like any of you feel like you have an advantage in this situation
09:47because you already did a rap challenge
09:49that song was completely different
09:50than what we're doing rapping to here
09:52this is no nikki minaj
09:53yeah it's not it's not like nikki
09:55it was just you can't fuck with me i'm that bitch
09:57so now i just kind of want to show the judges kind of a more vulnerable side i guess
10:02through rap
10:05i know i had to write and rap in the first week
10:09but i want to take it the opposite direction
10:12so i think i'm going to surprise the judges a little bit
10:14what are you thinking for your lyrics
10:18um i don't know
10:48i have a couple of ideas but i don't know
10:50she's just got these voices telling her she can't
10:52i just don't want that to get in the way of her doing well in this challenge
10:56i so badly want her to be in the top four with me
10:58oh god emotions suck
11:01crystal how you feeling
11:02ready to let your inner beastie boy out
11:05i'm trying to figure out how to like really put myself into the rap and i
11:10can't really think of the words
11:11glitter
11:13how do i rhyme
11:14quitter
11:15quitter
11:15because you're not a quitter
11:16write that down
11:17i don't think anyone with my rap style would be a rapper
11:22i never thought you'd be a stripper either but here we are
11:25excuse me exotic dancer
11:26exotic dancer
11:27yeah don't cheapen it
11:31hi
11:32welcome
11:33howdy doody
11:34it's time for our recording session of leland and freddy
11:37i think standing out in this challenge is going to be the hardest thing to do
11:40so i'm nervous to see what these other bitches bring out
11:42we have created something that has power ballads and show-stopping moments and a big finale
11:50so i think we will start with gg good to take your spot
11:54i'm really excited to show the judges a way of performing as gg
11:59because the last time i won a musical challenge it was gg as madonna
12:03here we go
12:04miss good is marching through and she's got shit to do
12:07no time to doubt myself gotta put that on the shelf
12:11so i can see you strutting down the runway while you're saying this
12:14but your energy on that opening line is a three out of ten
12:17okay i want to hear what a ten out of ten sounds like
12:20all right buckle your seatbelts
12:22let's try it
12:23no time to doubt myself gotta put that on the shelf
12:26oh fuck
12:28i was trying to do it and then it just like snapped too quick
12:31give me a strong wet kiss
12:37oh that's art
12:39leland really wants gg to master this sexy kiss at the end
12:42can't do it
12:44it sounds like a squeegee
12:47i think one of your strengths on i'm that bitch was your theatricality
12:50okay so we want you to bring that energy to this
12:52all right
12:53your lyrics say i'm stealing the show
12:55so we need you to steal the show
12:57all right jackie i want to see everything that makes up jackie cox

13:17you know what i mean throughout each line
13:18so that we go along this journey of this rap with you and we don't get bored
13:23i have to really let go of that perfectionist side of myself

23:21we're in the home stretch and it just doesn't feel real
23:24i have really grown close with these girls

23:31do we all feel ready and good and happy and satisfied about the challenge
23:35i'm excited for this rusical
23:37i'm feeling pretty confident

23:48with the lights and the costume
23:50and the dance song

23:54i think you're going to see a little bit of a sexier side of jackie in this performance
23:58i'm not joking you
24:00i'm fucking sexy in this
24:02this has been a long journey though
24:04like so crazy
24:05over the course of the competition i've grown
24:08in a lot of ways
24:09it pushes you to be a better entertainer
24:11and like coming off of this baby
24:13she's going to be like wonder woman
24:15times 10
24:15i'm ready for it
24:16so like of all the girls that are left
24:19like what was your first impression of each girl
24:20oh boy
24:22i guess like i really got my impression of jackie
24:24when we got out onto the spring and fall runway
24:26and i was like oh she's another fashion girl
24:28but she has since changed my mind on that
24:31i know
24:31girl
24:32i know
24:33oh no honey
24:34my impressions of gg
24:36i was a little confused by the pirate outfit
24:38i was like oh is this like the costume campy queen
24:44costume
24:46this is a look
24:47miz cox if you're naughty
24:49then we went right into that spring and fall runway
24:50and i was like oh shit
24:52this girl like has it
24:53she's like this is my fashion competition
24:55jada i just was instantly like
24:56oh god another pretty girl to fight with
25:00and we painted next to each other everything
25:02i know
25:03i kind of remember jada but it wasn't until really the improv challenge that i like really like actually looked
25:09at jada
25:09interesting
25:09up close
25:10and i was like damn this girl can paint
25:13that's an improv challenge
25:14that was when i was painted as an apple
25:16you've been like painted a beautiful like sad apple
25:18i said what
25:21that's a little strange but okay
25:24who do y'all think has changed the most
25:26you
25:27obviously
25:28crystal method
25:29your attitude's completely changed
25:31that like first few weeks like
25:32i was like girl she's not gonna make it
25:34she's just
25:35doesn't have
25:36the like
25:36fortitude to like actually deal with what this competition takes
25:40you are so talented it's crazy and like
25:43it's good to see you when you are in a good space
25:44but you just have to remember to always
25:46know that that's who you are all the time
25:49yeah
25:49you still that bitch bitch
25:51bitch
25:52i have grown so much and pushed myself so hard
25:55and making it this far and not making it to the top four
25:58my heart just like sinks when i think about it
26:01do you guys think like report cards are gonna come into play
26:04i think they're gonna have to
26:06i mean just from what i've seen
26:08this rusical is going to be really good
26:11i think it's gonna be a madonna the rusical situation
26:14in that we're all doing a really great job
26:15and it's gonna probably come down to report cards
26:18well in that case
26:20crystal and i are fucked
26:21hey don't say that
26:22we have the lowest report cards
26:24no no no no no

26:27i've been in the top five times
26:28no wins
26:29i mean i'd like to win this challenge
26:31so i can go to the top four with a win
26:32what matters the most
26:34is that i've lifted myself back up
26:37that's what america's next drag superstar needs to embody
26:40i picked myself back up
26:41and i'm gonna take myself to the top
26:43me and jada so far i think are tied for highest winnings

35:41Coming up.
35:42It was everything that I pictured that it could be.
35:44I had to do a double take.
35:45All my chins were like, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
35:48I just got your results back from 23 and she,
35:50and yes, you are that bitch.
35:52Oh, Carson.
36:02Category is eleganza, extravaganza.
36:05First up, crystal method.
36:07It's like Gloria Swanson and a Smurf had a baby.
36:10My eleganza, extravaganza look is futuristic.
36:14I feel like a space princess.
36:16I'm all velvet blue.
36:18It's sparkly.
36:18It's poofy.
36:19It's weirdly shaped.
36:20This is how I do glamour.
36:22I'm feeling super confident and super happy.
36:25Each week on the runway, I transform into something totally different.
36:29I think that what I bring to the table is such a unique perspective of drag.
36:33Come on, Roosh.
36:34Yes.
36:35I cream a genie.
36:36I'd love to rub her the right way.
36:39Gigi Goode.
36:40Guys, you better brace yourself for this one.
36:42This outfit is the molar opposite of what she's worn before.
36:46Hey, Gigi, how's your head gear?
36:50My look is that, like, dweeby, nerdy girl at the 80s prom that nobody wants to dance with.
36:57This girl has got headgear on and no one can see the beauty behind it.
37:01Big lapels and a bow tie and covered in ruffles.
37:04This look encompasses everything that Gigi Goode is.
37:07She is pure fashion, pure shape, pure camp.
37:11This look is everything a drag queen should be.
37:13This is from Dental and Gabbana, I believe.
37:17But this is not RuPaul's best friend, Brace.
37:21Jackie Cox.
37:23Ooh, there it is.
37:24She looks great.
37:25She blew out her hair.
37:29I spotted her a mile away.
37:31I am serving you the sweet girl next door with a little bit of sass.
37:35A Christian Dior-inspired silhouette, but done up in Andy Warhol colors.
37:40I'm going to show the judges that I didn't come here to give up.
37:43Just because you end up in the bottom doesn't mean you can't rise back up to the top.
37:46And I'm ready to show them in the finale that I need that crown.
37:49This outfit just bows me over.
37:51Wrap it up, I'll take it.
37:53I think she stars in a rap video.
37:55They call her Dottie.
38:00That's all, folks.
38:02I hope y'all left room for Sherry Pie.
38:04Well, hello, Sherry.
38:06Why don't you come up and pluck me some time?
38:09For my final look, I really wanted to bring a classic fantasy to life.
38:13It is May West of 2020, honey.
38:16I am covered in feathers.
38:18I bring drag not only forward, but I also don't want us to forget all of the amazing
38:24references and people.
38:26So I am here representing for all those campy vaudeville girls.
38:30Maraboo Barbie.
38:32That's an umbrella for a fella.
38:34Umbrella?
38:34I don't even know it.
38:36Jada Essence Hall.
38:38Ooh.
38:39She's coming to America.
38:42This dress is my brand.
38:44This dress is classic Jada.
38:46It fits me perfectly.
38:47I look like a goddess.
38:49I feel strong.
38:50I feel confident.
38:51I feel really accomplished because this competition is all about making sure that you can persevere
38:56throughout anything and any challenge.
38:58And I've done that.
38:58I've worked my ass off and I'm not going to slow down now.
39:01I just want to make sure that the judges understand that I am Jada Essence Hall, the essence of America's
39:07ex-drag superstar.
39:08Ah.
39:08Yeah.
39:08The golden tower.
39:10Yes.
39:11I'll let go.
39:11God death say death.
39:13Took her all season, but finally she looks great.
39:19Coming up.
39:20For the final time this season, this is your last chance to impress me and move on to the
39:25grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
39:33Welcome, ladies.
39:34For the final time this season, it's time for the judges' critiques.
39:39First up, Crystal Method.
39:42Hi.
39:42Let me say this to everybody.
39:43You all are not going to make it easy on us, are you?
39:45No, no.
39:46That was so good.
39:47Each and every one of you, well done.
39:49Okay, Crystal, in the challenge today, you were breathtaking.
39:53I thought your lyrics were really fun.
39:55You said, let your hair down and swing it all around.
39:58As soon as you come out on stage, I'm like, Crystal is in it.
40:02The lift, you did it and it didn't look like there was any fear.
40:04The final part of it was not my favorite color combination.
40:08Orange fringe dress with the green belt and the blue hair kind of threw me off.
40:11But this runway look, not many queens could pull this off and have me say, oh, I love this asymmetrical,
40:18puffy-legged, high-waisted, ruched, blue velvet, double necklace, turban, blue makeup number.
40:24But somehow, I'm going to say that I love it.
40:27You've kind of crystallized into a real professional.
40:31You have had such a trajectory and it's been really a treat to watch.
40:34You're such a crazy nut.
40:36Yes.
40:37I'm such a big fan of yours.
40:39You've done such a great job in this competition of taking this tornado of creativity inside you and fine-tuning
40:45it to a really beautiful place.
40:47I'm really proud of you because you've shown us who you are in this competition.
40:50And that's the most important thing you can do.
40:53Up next, Gigi Goode.
40:56You're such a great actor and such a great singer.
40:57I mean, the quality of your voice.
40:59You had like, you know, big belty notes that were pretty impressive.
41:03And your timing was really great.
41:04You're so talented and you were on fire.
41:07It was everything that I pictured that it could be and I loved working with you.
41:11Then, whilst you know I'm not a big fan of the chap, your performance was wonderful.
41:16You slid across the floor.
41:17I was like, yes!
41:17I had to do a double take.
41:19All my chins were like, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
41:23Suddenly, you turned into a filthy pop star.
41:28Tonight on the runway, I think this is just really smart and still really fashionable and you look gorgeous yet
41:32quirky.
41:33You gave us a sense of humor.
41:34With the whole headgear thing.
41:36I love the whole matching of the head brace to the bow tie to the corsage to the shoes and
41:41the train.
41:43Yeah, I mean, it's just fashion.
41:45Oh my God, you look so gorgeous.
41:48And you make fashion fun.
41:50Isn't fashion fun?
41:50Fashion's so fun, isn't it?
41:53Up next, Jackie Cox.
41:55Salaam, RuPaul June.
41:56This look, did you get that at a boutique?
42:01Oh, Carson.
42:02I'm here every Friday.
42:03Try the chicken tenders.
42:05This is just so delicate.
42:07You just look so lovely and whimsical with the blue hair.
42:10This cut of dress is never easy and there's a lot of stuff going on down here.
42:14The hoop and there's crinoline under there.
42:16It's a lot, but I think you wear it well.
42:18You've given us a lot of different eras and what I appreciate about you is that you have an understanding
42:22of all these different eras.
42:23Very, very pretty presentation.
42:25You were so great in the challenge.
42:27When you had that moment with Amir, you were so emotional.
42:31When you sing that song, I believed every word.
42:34But then in the disco number, the wig, like on your head movements, I can kind of tell that you
42:39held back a little bit, but you pulled it off.
42:41Your delivery was fantastic.
42:43You had so much fun with it and you put your all into that.
42:46You're proud.
42:48Proud to be standing here.
42:50Thank you, Jackie.
42:51Kaylee Mamnoon.
42:52Up next, Jada Essence Hall.
42:55Wow, looking at you, I feel like the mother of a solid gold dancer.
43:01You absolutely just look stunning tonight.
43:04In the 1980s, a long time ago, there was a show called Dynasty and a man named Nolan Miller did
43:09all the gowns.
43:10And this looks like a gorgeous, opulent 1980s Nolan Miller number that's been updated.
43:16Loving it.
43:16Thank you so much, Farrah, man.
43:18Through the whole performance, I kept going to you.
43:20The rap section, you hit it.
43:22You are a star.
43:23I just got your results back from 23 and she, and yes, you are that bitch.
43:29I just think that you shine when you kind of forget about the challenge and you bring the Jada to
43:35the game.
43:35Just do you and you are like superstar.
43:37It's been such a joy to watch you and get to know you, and you are so good at what
43:42you do.
43:43Tonight was just an amazing night for you.
43:45Thank you so much, Jada.
43:46Thank you, Ru.
43:48Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Sherry, hi.
43:53Oh, boo.
43:56This look, I think, is gorgeous.
43:57I mean, from the hat to the parasol to the gloves to the makeup to the hair, it is perfection.
44:03This is not shade because you look so beautiful, but I don't know how you're not, like, in your 50s.
44:08Because you pay such attention to our history, and here you are sort of reinventing it, and it feels fresh
44:14and new.
44:14And you do look absolutely gorgeous.
44:17I know.
44:20Your performance is always top-notch.
44:22You were so much fun to watch.
44:23In the final number, that outfit was not my favorite.
44:27That is the finale of the whole piece.
44:30I didn't think it had the sparkle and the excitement that a big disco finale needed to have.
44:35But I think you've killed it this competition.
44:36You 50-year-old, 27-year-old.
44:41Thank all of you.
44:42Because your stories of strength and of hope and of possibilities and joy, that is our secret weapon.
44:51That is what will sustain us.
44:53You are all heroes.
44:54Absolutely.
44:56You're all just fabulous.
44:59You're all fantastic.
45:00Really.
45:03Now, while you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate.
45:08You may leave the stage.
45:11Now, just between us show girls, what do you think?
45:15Crystal Method.
45:16Crystal is one of a kind, for sure.
45:19That's a tough position to be in coming into a competition, because you've got to take this wacky tornado of
45:24a human and fit it into challenges.
45:26Crystal found a way to make it work.
45:28She is so charming and just lovable.
45:31In this performance tonight, she was so gorgeous.
45:34The way she was lifted, the way she performed, I am just so happy.
45:38Crystal has had the biggest improvement in this whole competition.
45:41I'm so happy with her journey here.
45:44Gigi Good.
45:45Gigi Good, from beginning to end, was one to watch.
45:47From the moment she took the stage in the challenge, I was lewd.
45:51There's a fire in Gigi.
45:53I remember working with her in the Madonna challenge, and she transformed into Madonna.
45:58She won the snatch game, playing a robot.
46:01What's up, bitch?
46:01Gigi is not a one-note fashion queen.
46:04She came out and proved that she had something to say.
46:06She had some comedy chops.
46:07She could sing, and she could dance.
46:09I am so impressed by how versatile Gigi is, and you know I love a verse.
46:15Jackie Cox.
46:16I challenged her to put a little more sauce in her performance, and tonight there was sauce.
46:21Jackie as disco share for that final.
46:24I thought she looked great.
46:25Jackie Cox is another one who's so charming.
46:28She's got so much talent.
46:29All season long, Jackie has put her heart on that stage.
46:32She's really entertaining.
46:33I love that she wears her heritage on her sleeve with pride.
46:36I've been a Jackie Cox fan for a very long time.
46:38I know you love the cops.
46:39Well, and I love the Jackie cops, too.
46:41Jada Essence Hall.
46:43She is a quintessential drag queen, and it has been a joy to watch her just do her thing.
46:48She has so much look and sizzle and entertainment value.
46:51Look over there!
46:52She's just fun to watch.
46:53And tonight on the runway, guys, there was not a thing wrong with that.
46:57Not a thing.
46:58She's definitely a star.
46:59You know, for years I've said about this competition, know who you are and bring it to every challenge.
47:03And she is the personification of that idea.
47:08Sherry pie!
47:10You know, in the mirror challenge, she killed it.
47:12And I will say that not wearing a wig was risky, but she pulled it off.
47:16She is a technician when it comes to acting and to comedy.
47:20She gave us great moments in Gay's Anatomy.
47:22She gave us great moments in World's Worst.
47:24She's a strong contender.
47:25I keep forgetting she's only 27 years old.
47:28Wow.
47:29I have edible underwear older than her.
47:31You should check the expiration date.
47:33Yikes.
47:34Oh, wait.
47:35I'll be right back.
47:37Here we are, heading into the top four.
47:39We love everybody, so how am I going to decide who should be in the bottom?
47:44This group is so good, I think we have to look at their track record.
47:50I think the only thing you can do is look at the numbers, Ru.
47:52Somebody should check my math because I'm not good with math.
47:54Hold on.
47:54Wait, I got it.
47:56Carry the one.
47:57Hold on.
47:57Uh-huh.
47:57I have no idea.
47:59I have no idea.
47:59Okay, well, silence.
48:02I've made my decision.
48:03Bring back my girls.
48:10Welcome back, ladies.
48:12Based on your performances tonight and throughout the season, I've made some decisions.
48:25Gigi Goode.
48:29Contragulations, you're the winner of this week's challenge.
48:32Yay.
48:34You've won a cash tip of $5,000.
48:37Yes, girl.
48:38And you are moving on into the grand finale.
48:43Thank you so much.
48:43You may step to the back of the stage.
48:46You may step to the back of the stage.
48:47I won the last challenge of the fucking season, bitch.
48:50And I'm the first girl announced to move on to the finale.
48:53Oh, my gosh.
48:56Oh, my gosh.
49:00Gata Essence Hall.
49:05Contragulations, you are safe.
49:06And you are moving on to the grand finale.
49:10Thank you for showing me that you can be a little black gay boy and you can grow up to
49:14be whatever you want to be, even if that's a black woman.
49:16Okay, thank you so much.
49:29Sherry Pie.
49:32Contragulations, you are safe.
49:36You may step to the back of the stage.
49:41That means Jackie Cox and Crystal Method.
49:44I'm sorry, my dears, but you are both up for elimination.
49:49I know how close it is between me and Crystal.
49:52I need to go out there and slay this lip sync.
49:55Two queens stand before me.
49:58Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and move on to the grand finale.
50:03Okay, season 12 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
50:08The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
50:17I've made it through this entire competition without lip syncing.
50:20This is my moment to show that I have a fire inside of me and I plan on staying.
50:25Good luck and don't fuck it up.
50:46You may not expect a 34-year-old Middle Eastern nerd to know all of the lyrics of a rap
50:52and slay it,
50:53but I'm going to give it to you.
50:54Yeah, pump-a-pump-a-pump-a-pump-a-pump it up and bang it up like a tonka truck.
50:57Blomp it!
50:58If you go hard, you gotta get on the floor.
51:01If you're a party, take a step on the floor.
51:04If you're an animal, then tear up the floor.
51:08Step on the floor, you never make on the floor.
51:10I am just trying to have the most fun that I can during this lip sync.
51:14I'm throwing back some moves from Phenomenal Phil, and I can see that the judges are loving it.
51:20Hold on the floor, you know we're running it tonight on the floor.
51:24Brazil, Morocco, London to a reason.
51:28Straight to LA, New York, Vegas to Africa.
51:35Tonight we're going to get on the floor.
51:42Tonight we're going to get on the floor.
51:44I know you got it, clap your hands on the floor.
51:48And keep on rocking, rock it up on the floor.
51:51A donkey-donk is like a trunk full of bass and an old-school shiver.
51:53He's selling trade, donkey-donk.
51:54All I need is a doctor, some chocolate conk.
51:56And watch the shit go get donkey-coned.
51:57Baby, if you're ready for baby to get heavy, I feel on the floor.
52:00And I got food, you let me lie.
52:01No believe me, just tell me.
52:02My name ain't Keith, but I see the way you're sweeping.
52:05LA, Miami, New York, say no more.
52:07You're on the floor.
52:11Tonight we're going to get on the floor.
52:18Tonight we're going to get on the floor.
52:21Yeah!
52:25Woo!
52:27Yeah.
52:28So good.
52:30So good.
52:32Ladies, I've made my decision.
52:44Crystal, Shantae, you stay.
52:49You're moving on to the grand finale.
52:52This competition has challenged me and made me grow in ways that I didn't know I could.
52:57Thank you so much for seeing a star inside of me.
53:01Conjaculations.
53:02You may join the other girls.
53:06I love you.
53:07I love you.
53:09I'm so happy that I made it to the finale.
53:13Jackie Cox, my dear, your drag race journey is here.
53:17But your life in the world spotlight has just begun.
53:22Now, sashay away.
53:28Thank you guys so much.
53:30This competition was unlike anything I could have imagined.
53:35Thank you so much for everything.
53:39It's so hard to make it this far and not make it all the way.
53:45Even though I'm going home, I'm so proud of myself.
53:47And I feel so victorious.
53:51It feels amazing to find this fighter within myself that I didn't know I had.
53:55You only have one life to live, so you better go out there and live it.
53:58I love you guys.
54:00Put off it.
54:04Conjaculations to my final four.
54:06Yay!
54:08Who do you want to be America's next drag superstar?
54:11Are you Team Crystal?
54:13Team Gigi?
54:14Or Team Jada?
54:16Let your voice be heard using hashtag Drag Race.
54:20Tune in next week for RuPaul's Drag Race Reunited.
54:24And join us in two weeks for the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
54:28Where we will crown a winner, baby.
54:30And remember, if you can't love yourself,
54:34how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
54:36Can I get an amen up in here?
54:38Amen!
54:39All right, now let the music play.
