00:24First up, she's the alien queen of Seattle, Irene DuBois.
00:29She's San Francisco royalty, it's Princess Poppy.
00:39She's a living doll, it's Sugar.
00:49Hey sis, it's Amethyst.
00:58Who's the fiercest queen of all?
01:10Robin Fierce.
01:11This is her golden year.
01:13Say hello to Aura Maiori.
01:22Get ready to flip for Jax.
01:36We've got Latriva for the flavor, it's Spice.
01:55From Miami to the world, it's Malaysia Baby D'Alpha.
02:06Oh my nose, it's Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
02:17LA's hometown girl, Selena Esquidy.
02:30She's here to let loose, it's Lucy Leduca.
02:42And now, our top four queens.
02:46She better walk that fucking duck, it's Anitra.
03:02Paris, Milan, New Jersey.
03:05Lux, New Orleans.
03:17Gather her, it's Mistress Isabel Brooks.
03:30Welcome to her meet and greet, it's Sasha Povey.
03:48And now, the mother of the house of love, RuPaul.
04:09Welcome to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
04:36Drag is not a crime, but looking this sickening should be.
04:43Tonight, we come together to celebrate drag excellence in the USA.
04:48And I want to give a shout out to all the clubs watching across the country.
04:52New Beginnings in Johnson City, Tennessee.
04:57Mr. Mister in Dallas, Texas.
05:02Crossings in Lexington, Kentucky, and so many more.
05:09We see you, and we want to help.
05:12And to our viewers, throughout the evening, a QR code will pop up on your screen.
05:18Scan it to support the ACLU Drag Defense Fund.
05:21Because it do take a village.
05:23And speaking of a village, I want to say hello to my Judge Judy's, Michelle Visage.
05:31Carson Presley.
05:35Ross Matthews.
05:39And T.S. Madison.
05:44Are y'all ready to crown our queen?
05:48Well, first things first.
05:50Anitra, Mistress Isabel Brooks, Lux Noir London, and Sasha Colby
06:00will perform original solo numbers inspired by their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
06:08And in the end, the two queens that impressed me the most will go head to head and toe to toe
06:13in the final lip sync for the crown.
06:19So, enough talk.
06:21It's time to let these queens do what they do best.
06:24Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win.
06:31Our first finalist is a powerhouse performer and a kick-ass queen.
06:35Take a look.
06:38Hey, it's your girl, Anitra.
06:40That's six letters and three vowels and a whole lot of ducking talent.
06:44I kicked off the season in a big, big way.
06:47And I just kept slaying.
06:49And that's why I'm the knockout.
06:51This journey for me has been absolutely transformative.
06:54And I'm very grateful.
06:56I think it's important to represent for drag and drag artists right now
07:00because drag is freedom and drag is a place where we get to erase ourselves and build ourselves up again
07:05and be whoever we want to be.
07:07If I would have to give a special thank you to somebody, it would be my dad.
07:10I'm very grateful for him.
07:12And if it wasn't for him, I would not be sitting in this chair.
07:15So, thank you for everything.
07:17And I hope I make you proud today.
07:22Oh, my God, I think my mom's going to cry.
07:26No crumbs!
07:28It's been a long and beautiful journey, but it's coming to an end.
07:31This finale is about to be a ball.
07:34For my solo number, I've been working with the music producer to get this song together,
07:38make sure the lyrics are right, make sure the meaning is right.
07:40The name of my original song is Lotus.
07:43The lotus can only blossom on top of the lake after they've gone through all of the mud
07:47and all of the bullshit that they have to persevere to become who they actually are meant to be.
07:52I am so excited to perform at this finale.
07:54Like, Jasmine Kennedy said it best, this is my moment, and I'm about to have it.
07:59Tonight, it's time to crown this fucking duck.
08:04And now, with the first of our show-stopping performances, Anitra.
08:17Anitra!
08:47Anitra!
09:17Yeah!
09:19Yeah!
09:21I will survive, I will climb like a lotus.
09:24Nothing is hopeless, I already know this.
09:28I will survive, I will climb like a lotus.
09:31Nothing is hopeless, I already know this.
09:48Wow, that was amazing!
09:51It's time for the judges' critiques.
09:55Anitra, you better slay that fucking lotus.
10:00Yes.
10:01Anitra, you're the Porsche of this white lotus, okay?
10:06You are amazing, and I'm so glad that you made it this far.
10:10Eat it up, girl.
10:11Yes, ma'am.
10:16So, Anitra, how has your life changed since being on Drag Race?
10:20It's been absolutely incredible traveling around and spreading all of this queerness and flaming hot pussy everywhere.
10:31So, drag queens are superheroes. What's your superpower?
10:35Leaping over women with BFAs.
10:38Yes, Marcia.
10:40A hostage.
10:42So then, what is your crip tonight?
10:45Ooh, like any brown man over, like, six foot.
10:53So, who's here supporting you tonight?
10:56I have my stepmom and my father here tonight.
11:02So, Papa Anitra, I know you've been trying on Anitra's wigs,
11:05All of them.
11:06Really? Are you a pussycat wig or a long fall?
11:10Long fall.
11:11Long fall.
11:12Come on, now.
11:13So, Papa Anitra, America wants to know, can you walk that fucking dog?
11:18Hell no.
11:21He's got bad knees.
11:22Oh, you've got bad knees.
11:23Yes.
11:24I get it.
11:25So, Papa Anitra, what advice do you have for families raising a dog?
11:31Papa Anitra, what advice do you have for families raising a drag artist?
11:37For anybody that's out there, always love, support, and just be there for them.
11:42That's the main thing you can do for anybody.
11:50I love that.
11:51Chao, all her ducks are in a mother-tucking row.
11:53Give it up for Anitra.
11:56You make me feel, it's stuck in my ear.
11:59If you're Team Anitra, sound off using hashtag Drag Race.
12:03You make me feel, it's stuck in my ear.
12:06Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
12:08Our top four showdown continues.
12:11Our next queen has a design for the dramatic.
12:14Take a look.
12:18The It Girl has arrived in mint condition.
12:21I'm the face, the brand, the fantasy.
12:24I came into the competition talking a big game,
12:26and I definitely do think that I put my money where my mouth is.
12:29I walked into the workroom 40 inches first and won a couple challenges.
12:33I was in the top a lot.
12:34I've had some pretty stellar looks,
12:36some pretty sickening fits and fashions on the runway.
12:39I think that I bring a certain joy to drag.
12:42I just have something that just gives it that little extra mmm to it, you know?
12:45It's just this je ne sais quoi.
12:47I do live my life with a suit of confidence on.
12:50I also have feelings, and I also have a heart.
12:53Checkmate!
12:54Winning Drag Race would mean a lot to me.
12:57I want this more than anything I've ever wanted.
12:59I want this so bad.
13:01Like, I will do anything for it.
13:03Like, I will commit crime.
13:06Well, not too bad.
13:07Like, for, like, a petty crime where I'd, like, you know, just be arrested
13:10but not go to prison, like, stealing or something like that.
13:12Hello? RuPaul?
13:14Oh, my God, yes, I'll take the $200,000.
13:16Of course!
13:17When I tell you I'm feeling all of the emotions
13:20and being here at the finale, it's very surreal,
13:22but it feels very correct.
13:24The original song that I will be performing tonight
13:27is about being lavish, it's about fashion,
13:29it's, you know, just full of life.
13:32I am beyond excited for the world to see this performance.
13:35I think the other three girls would be crazy
13:37to not be worried about what I have up my sleeve.
13:40And the sleeve is Versace.
13:46And now, Luxe Noir London.
13:52They don't dun de da like they do in London
13:55They don't kiss kiss au revoir like they do in Paris

15:52Is there a quote that sums up how you're feeling right now?
15:56I actually think I have the perfect one
15:58I can't wait to see how this turns out
16:05So, joking aside, how are you feeling right now?
16:08I'm feeling on top of the world
16:10I've been dreaming of this moment
16:12Since I even knew what drag race was
16:14I just saw myself here in the finale
16:16And it's wild to think that when
16:19You really put so much heart and energy and effort
16:22Into what you really want to achieve in life
16:24The possibilities are endless
16:26Yes, I love that, it's true
16:29So, Lux, who's here supporting you tonight?
16:31My lovely mother and my boyfriend, Thomas
16:34Oh, gorgeous
16:36I love you, my baby
16:38So, Mother Lux, where does Lux get the creativity from?
16:42Well, he gets his creativity from my mom
16:45She's no longer with us
16:46But I know she's looking down at Lux so happy
16:49And he gets it from me and his dad
16:51So, the whole family, he gets it
16:53So, you're all very modest, aren't you?
16:55Yeah
16:57Yes
17:01Thomas, tell me, what's your favorite thing about Lux?
17:04Everything
17:05I love everything about them
17:07I'm so proud
17:10That's very sweet
17:12So, Lux, final question
17:14Why do you love drag?
17:16I love drag because
17:18I'm able to express every wild, crazy thought
17:21That I've ever had in my entire life
17:23And trust me, there's plenty
17:24It's the reason I wake up in the morning
17:26And it's what keeps me up at night
17:27I wouldn't be half the person I am today
17:29If I'd never discovered drag
17:31I love it
17:32Well, she's got beaucoup de style
17:33And a whole lot of black butter
17:34Give it up for Lux New Orleans
17:41If you are Team Lux
17:43Sound off using hashtag drag race
17:49Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race
17:52Tonight, we want to take a moment to honor the iconic
17:56Bob Mackie
17:57Take a look
18:01You know what I always say
18:02Cher was born naked and the rest was Bob Mackie
18:06Growing up, Bob Mackie always dreamed of a life in show business
18:10When he was 21 years old
18:11His grandmother gave Bob his first sewing machine
18:14And he never looked back
18:16Bob moved to Hollywood
18:17Where he began his dazzling career at Paramount Studios
18:20Bob married actress Lulu Porter
18:22And the two have a son, Robin
18:24Later, Bob worked as an assistant to designer Ray Aguillon
18:28A romance blossomed
18:29And the pair became life partners
18:31In a relationship that lasted 50 years
18:33A talented artist, Bob sketched the infamous dress
18:36Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang
18:38Happy Birthday to JFK
18:40From there, Bob created his own signature style
18:43Soon, every leading lady was begging to wear a Bob Mackie original
18:47Bob designed costumes for all 11 seasons of The Carol Burnett Show
18:51Many times, I didn't know how I was going to do a character
18:55In a sketch
18:56Until I went to the costume fitting on Wednesday
18:59And saw what Bob had created for me
19:01In his six-decade career
19:03Bob has transfixed TV audiences
19:05Brightened Broadway
19:07Lit up Las Vegas
19:08And set the silver screen on fire
19:10Today, Bob Mackie remains in a class all by himself
19:14And a new generation of leading ladies
19:16Is still begging to wear a Bob Mackie original
19:19Look at just his body of work on me
19:21I mean, if you look at every young girl, hip girl
19:24Has got a version of something that I've worn
19:26Bob Mackie is my hero
19:28And it was a dream come true to wear his creations
19:31And an even bigger thrill
19:33When he agreed to be the first ever
19:35Guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race
19:37Mr. Bob Mackie
19:39Hey Ru, you're gorgeous
19:40Fifteen seasons later, Bob Mackie continues to inspire
19:44Where's the designer?
19:45It's an original Bob Mackie
19:46Mackie doll
19:47I'm sure Mr. Mackie will love that too
19:50I hope he does
19:51In recognition of his priceless contributions
19:54To glamour, beauty, and excitement
19:56RuPaul's Drag Race is proud to present the first ever
19:59Giving us Lifetime Achievement Award
20:02To the one and only Bob Mackie
20:07Alright, for Bob Mackie
20:18Thank you
20:19Thank you
20:20Wow
20:22To all the queens around the world
20:24Don't let anyone or anything dim your sparkle
20:33Be sure to watch the new Bob Mackie documentary
20:36Coming out later this year
20:38Now, back to the battle for the crown
20:41Oh boy
20:43Up next, a queen who steals the spotlight
20:46Wherever she goes
20:48Take a look
20:52From the moment I step in the work room
20:54I know I gag the girls
20:55That's why I'm the showstopper
20:58I literally wake up, think about drag
21:00Drag is my job
21:01Drag is what I do in my free time
21:02This is more than just my career
21:04This is literally my life
21:05I represent for so many different people
21:07I represent for the plus-sized girls
21:08Of course, I put on for Houston, Texas
21:10But most importantly tonight, I'm representing
21:12For anyone who's ever been told they couldn't
21:14Baby, I'm living proof that you can
21:16As long as you put your mind to it
21:19The drag race journey has been a very unique one
21:21I'm happy to say that when I got to drag race
21:23I wasn't like totally thrown off by anything
21:26I definitely got to experience so many things
21:28For the first time
21:29I didn't think that I was gonna slay acting challenges
21:31But, I mean, I always act a fool in cut-ups
21:33So I knew I would at least be cute at it
21:36Throughout the competition, there definitely were
21:37Some times where I had my emotional moments
21:39Watching it back has been so crazy
21:41Because my story has, like, resonated with so many people
21:46I have people who come to me and they're just, like
21:49Are bawling when they see me
21:50Because they've been through so much
21:52Similar things with their family
21:53Or, like, they've never seen someone like themselves on TV
21:56And, like, I'm very grateful that I've made
21:58These connections with people
21:59And it makes everything worth it
22:02Perfect
22:03These diamonds have always brought me luck, baby
22:05Tonight, I'll be performing my original song, Delusion
22:08It's about a girl who may or may not be patient zero
22:10Who is ready to cure the town of their drag delusions
22:13Why don't you come up and crown me sometime?
22:16Like, this song embodies everything that Mistress is
22:18It's about celebrating authenticity and being yourself
22:21I'm excited to give one final performance
22:23To everyone that I remember
22:24Move over, let loose
22:25Delusion is coming through
22:29And now, Mistress Isabel Brooks
22:37I'ma rap first just to clear the confusion
22:40They say they winning, but I see them losing
22:42Call the doctor, she need a WIC transfusion
22:44Bitch, I'm the cure for your drag delusion
22:47This ain't coming from the height of my ego

22:54Bitch, I'm the cure for your drag delusion
22:57Bitch, I'm the cure for your drag delusion
22:59Bitch, I'm the cure for your drag delusion

23:19For your drag delusion
23:22And nobody's confused

23:26Delusion
23:27They about to take eyes off of me

23:53Bitch, I'm the cure for your drag delusion
24:09Wow
24:11Mistress
24:12Oh my gosh
24:15Alright, it's time for the judges critiques
24:17Baby, tonight when those men lifted you up
24:20You cleared up all the confusion
24:22If you could be lifted baby
24:23Yes
24:24All of it
24:26She's in her finale era, huh?
24:31Anybody who didn't like that is delusional
24:34Well done
24:36Now what's something fans would be surprised to know about you?
24:40Y'all are not gonna believe me but
24:42I think y'all would be surprised to know I held back so much
24:44And I really watched my mouth
24:48Okay
24:51Now, you've said your heart goes out to all the big girls
24:54Do you have a message for them tonight?
24:56Put. That. Down.
25:04You know, I will say this
25:06To anyone out there, big or small, whatever it is
25:10You're capable of doing anything that anyone else can do
25:13Life is so short, bitch
25:14Live every day to its fullest and never let a bitch keep you down
25:21So, Mistress
25:22Who's here supporting you tonight?
25:24Tonight I have my drag mother, the legendary Chevelle Brooke
25:30And I also have my best friend, Steven
25:33Ah, nice
25:36Now, Mother Brooks
25:37Is there a softer side to Mistress?
25:41You're her pet
25:47But no, she really is
25:48She really is a sweetheart
25:49And she speaks from the heart
25:50You made Houston proud
25:51You made me proud
25:52And you made yourself proud
25:53Congratulations
25:54I love you
25:55Oh, that's very kind
25:57Thank you, Mother Brooks
25:59Now, Mistress
26:00Why are drag families so important?
26:02My drag family is my family
26:04And I've learned so many life lessons through drag
26:06And I owe so much to that woman sitting right there
26:09She's taught me so much as an entertainer
26:11But more importantly as a person
26:13And how to navigate my life as a queer person
26:15And because of her, I get to travel and carry on that legacy
26:18And of course, nurture the next generation
26:20Even if they're five days younger than me
26:22Like my daughter, Sugar and Spice
26:27Now, I have one thing to say
26:29We're living in the big girl era
26:31And I love it
26:32Give it up for Mistress Isabel Brooks
26:37If you are Team Mistress
26:39Sound off using hashtag drag race
26:43Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race
26:46Our final queen is a rare combination of face, grace and va-va-va-voom

26:55I am Sasha Colby, the bombshell of season 15
27:00This season has been so wild
27:02There have been so many fun memories
27:04It was an out of body experience
27:06I don't even know who that girl is on TV

27:09And a great butt
27:12I'm so glad everyone got to see Sasha Colby
27:14Doing her hair whips that she loves to do, honey
27:17In 40 inches
27:20I feel in this journey that I have evolved so much
27:23Not just in my drag, but as a human being
27:26Maybe I am the Dumbledore of drag
27:29Thanks, Mistress
27:30Muggle
27:32Oh, bitch, you know I've been waiting to say that
27:34Since she fucking called me Dumbledore
27:35I'm like, you motherfucking muggle
27:37Beautiful
27:39She's been around the block a few times, honey
27:41I'm so grateful to be here
27:43But it takes a village
27:45What I want to tell my family
27:46My chosen family
27:47And the few biological family that I do keep in contact
27:51I just want to honestly tell you
27:53I don't want to cry

28:07To an amazing season
28:08My solo number tonight is

28:58She can change her name
28:59If she want to, Tina
29:00Or maybe when she's waking up

30:34But the goddess of what?
30:36Oh, I mean the goddess of
30:38Hair flow
30:41What's been the best part of this journey here?
30:44The best part is actually meeting all of the fans
30:47Of Drag Race
30:48And the parents who honestly come up to me
30:51All over the place
30:52And they just are so
30:53Not just accepting
30:54But celebratory of drag
30:57I love it
30:58Now I've heard you use the term
31:00Mahou
31:01What does that mean?
31:02Okay, so Mahou in Hawaiian
31:04It's the third gender in Hawaiian culture
31:06And people in the community trusted
31:08Queer people and Mahous
31:10To handle their kids
31:11Because what is more divine
31:12Than knowing both feminine and masculine energy?
31:15I love it

31:43And I love that you're able to also act a fool
31:46And share that side of you also
31:48Go Carl

32:45All Hell, our top four queens
32:58My queens
32:59All season long
33:01Your charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent
33:03Have been on fire
33:05But tonight
33:06Only two of you will be moving forward
33:09To the final lip sync for the crown
33:11Ladies
33:12I've made some decisions
33:20Anitra
33:26Sasha Colby
33:28Congratulations, you are both moving forward
33:30To the final lip sync for the crown
33:37Now, Anitra and Sasha
33:39Now, Anitra and Sasha
33:41Please go get ready
33:48Lux and Mistress
33:49On behalf of all the fans
33:51And from the bottom of my heart
33:53Thank you for an epic season
33:56Give it up for my girls
34:09It's me, here we are
34:11Baby, it's not my call
34:15Last summer, we filmed Wigloose the Musical
34:17Set in an American town where drag was outlawed
34:21Less than a year later
34:23That fiction has become a harsh reality
34:25Reminding us that we can never take our human rights for granted
34:32We hold these truths to be self-evident
34:34That all people are created equal
34:37That they are endowed by their creator
34:39With certain unalienable rights
34:41That among these are life
34:42Liberty
34:43And the pursuit of happiness
34:45Why would you ever want to take away someone's happiness?
34:48As proud Americans, there are so many things that connect us
34:53But there are forces in this country that want to divide us
34:57Queer people don't come from another planet
34:59We are your sons
35:01We're your daughters
35:02We're your neighbors
35:03We're your favorite uncles
35:04We're your tías
35:05We're police officers
35:06We're your teachers
35:07Firefighters
35:08We're nurses
35:09Caretakers
35:10We're immigrants
35:11Drag kings
35:12We're priests
35:13So the next time someone tries to scare you with lies
35:15Or tries to tell you what to wear
35:17Who to love
35:18Or how to be
35:19Remind them
35:20I am American
35:22I am American
35:23I am American
35:24I am American
35:26All of us share the same American dream
35:29All of us should share the same American rights
35:32We're all born naked
35:34And the rest is drag
35:36And the rest is drag
35:37And the rest is drag
35:38And the rest is drag
35:44Here to perform Built on Drag
35:46Wigaloo's composer Leland Orville Peck
35:48And the Queens of Season 15
35:52Drag is a fight
35:54Drag is a protest
35:56Drag only reveals who you really are
36:02You wanna shine
36:05I'm letting you know this
36:07The kind of love we grow
36:08Can't grow in the dark
36:12The pride that we feel
36:16The power we hold in our heels
36:22The rights that we burn
36:26Where we began
36:29And what we learn
36:32Was built on drag
36:44The pride that we feel
36:48The power we hold in our heels
36:54The rights that we burned
36:58Where we began
37:01And what we learn
37:04Was built on drag
37:09Was built on drag
37:14Was built on drag
37:24Everybody's gonna
37:25Wigaloo
37:26Grab my wig
37:27And put it on you
37:29There's a queen
37:30That wears a condom
37:32Everybody's gonna
37:33Wigaloo
37:34All these sisters
37:35Waiting for you
37:37There's a queen
37:38That wears a condom
37:40Everybody's gonna
37:41Wigaloo
37:46Ladies and gentlemen
37:48Welcome back
37:49America's reigning drag superstar
37:51Willow Hill
37:52I hate people
37:56I hate people
37:59Big or small
38:00Short or tall
38:01People
38:03I-I-I-I-I-I

38:19People
38:26What are y'all doing in my bathroom?
38:29I'm so excited to be here to help pass on the crown
38:33to America's next drag superstar.
38:36This year has been wild.
38:38Mushroom sales have skyrocketed since my crowning.
38:41And most importantly, for the first time in my life,
38:45I topped.
38:47Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
38:50It's also been a year of grief and personal struggles,
38:53but I'm at a place where I really, really love what I do.
38:56So just know, if the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race,
38:59the most adored woman in America,
39:01with a gorgeous ass, is struggling,
39:04then it's okay if you are, too.
39:06And for whichever queen wins tonight,
39:12I have one piece of advice.
39:14Only shoplift the small things, okay?
39:17Now, ladies, gentlemen,
39:22and everyone with a mullet,
39:24please welcome my sister,
39:26Kornbred the Snack Jeté!
39:29I am in business
39:31Come let's give them just what they want
39:33They want to see you hurt
39:34Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
39:37Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
39:42Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
39:45Good evening!
39:48Kornbred, you're looking different.
39:50You know, I've got a little work done.
39:52Meow!
39:54But that's not the only reason I'm here.
39:56The reason I'm here is to announce
39:57the winner of this season's Miss Congeniality.
40:00Here it is!
40:04Look over here, baby, guess who's back
40:07Kornbred with the K, she's the mother-tuckin' snack
40:09And I'm here to spill the tea on the queen,
40:11the 15 that I ride
40:12And they got it for Miss Congeniality
40:14Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, bend that back
40:16Coast to coast, ride it smooth like the A-Train track
40:18Flippin' over, jumpin' braids like my name is Jax
40:20All the moves, she keep them fresh,
40:21you know the talent is that
40:23Lucy let loose, now I'm the strongest stuff
40:25Here comes the minute challenge, let us wish her luck
40:27Keep a ruler to yourself or those queens will buff
40:2940 inches, Captain Gaggle, ask them London for some love
40:32Connecticut queens wanted to steal it with a kiss
40:34Robin Woods, they hit a gym, just ask Miss Amethyst
40:36If she ain't gonna win the crown, Miss Trisha
40:38Top the list, Malaysia, once I let it, don't cut her off, sis
40:41Look at that box, spice cup, Tesla, hello
40:43Is that a nitro over there?
40:44You better walk that fuckin' duck
40:45With that poppin', kept her poppin'
40:46And showed us that she was spittin'
40:47Oh my God, it's down below, is that Selena aesthetic?
40:49Child spit and fire, Irene, I need some ice water
40:51Slash a Kobe, that is mother order
40:53It's my baby father, that's the deal
40:54Knowledge holds no particular order
40:56All the rappin' got me hungry
40:57Someone bring me a burger
41:05Thank you, Cornbread, you stupid bitch
41:09Okay now, the queens of season 15 have voted
41:13The winner of Miss Congeniality season 15
41:15Will win $10,000, presented by Olay Body
41:22And the winner is
41:27Malaysia, baby, don't stop
41:41Malaysia, what do you have to say?
41:44In a season full of eras, I guess I'm finally in my congenial era
41:50Now, that's not all
41:52Olay Body would also like to offer
41:54All the queens $2,000 each
41:58For a second season
42:04Congratulations, queens
42:14Line
42:15I'm Jinx Monsoon, internationally tolerated drag queen superstar
42:22This dress is just really getting to me
42:25Your ear falling off
42:26I'm sorry, you're gonna have to speak up
42:27I can only hear you
42:28Have as well
42:29Yeah, yeah
42:30I'll have whatever intestinal parasite she's having
42:34Now that we're at the midway point
42:36Is that my camera?
42:39Drag is my passion
42:41And I just hope to share the gifts that you've bestowed upon me
42:45And show them that we are all beautiful
42:48No matter who we are or how we present ourselves to the world
42:52And I claim this in the name of Hecate, mother of witches
42:56Thank you
43:01Caught off her record-breaking run in the Broadway musical Chicago
43:05It's Jinx Monsoon
43:12Thank you
43:17Ask any of the chickies in my family
43:24They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother here
43:33I love them all
43:35And all of them love me
43:42Because the system works
43:45The system called reciprocity
44:04Got a little motto
44:07Always sees me through
44:10When you're good to mama
44:12Mama's good to you
44:16They say that life is tit for tat
44:19And that's the way I live
44:22So I deserve a lot of tat
44:25For what I've got to give
44:28Don't you know that this hand
44:31Washes that one too
44:33When you're good to mama
44:36Mama's good to you
44:50So what's the one conclusion
44:58I can bring this number to
45:07When you're good to mama
45:20Mama's good to you
45:36Mama's good to you
45:52That's a wonderful evening
45:55Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race
45:58Now I'm here with Broadway star Jinx Monsoon
46:03Darling, may I call you mama?
46:05Oh well of course
46:07I may be mama
46:09But you will always be mother
46:16So what's next for you Jinx?
46:18Well you can see me on my 44 city North American tour
46:22Called Everything at Stake This Summer
46:28I love that
46:29So you're going to go everywhere
46:30You know, everywhere they'll have me
46:32Okay
46:41Now Jinx, before you go
46:42I have a little something I want to show you
46:45Now Jinx, what do you think your life's going to be like?
46:48What do you want to do?
46:49It's been my life dream ever since I started doing drag
46:51To do drag on Broadway
46:53I could see you as Blanche DuBois
46:55I could see that too
46:57Wow
47:00Wow
47:06Well, dreams really do come true
47:12Ru, thank you for all that you have done for me
47:15And for drag queens everywhere
47:17And for the world of drag
47:19My gosh
47:20You know, it's like drag gave me a path
47:23To make my dreams come true
47:25It just feels like it's amazing
47:28You know who you're supposed to be
47:30And you fight for the ability to be that
47:33And then you be that
47:35And it's exactly who you're supposed to be
47:43So please donate to the ACLU Drag Defense Fund
47:47Because dare I say it
47:49When you're good to mama
47:51Mama's good to you
47:54Give it up for the queen of all queens
47:58Jinx Monsoon
48:02I'm so proud of you
48:03Thank you
