- To my Drag Race family
here tonight

and the millions of you
watching around the world,

welcome home, baby.

That's right.
Here in the House of RuPaul,

everybody is welcome.

There ain't no walls here
to divide us.

There's only love,
and now let's say it loud enough

so they could hear it
in Washington, D.C.

Everybody say love!

- Love!
- Love!

- Everybody say love!

- Love!
- Love!

- Now drive that
down Pennsylvania Avenue!

Get your ass outta here!

[cheers and applause]

Tonight we are gathered

in this gorgeous theater
in downtown Los Angeles

to crown America's
next drag superstar.

But I couldn't do it alone.

Say hello to my Judge Judys,

Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews
and Michelle Visage.

[cheers and applause]

Now, how would you rate
this season's queens?

All: 10s! 10s!


- Why y'all gagging?

She bring it to you every ball!

And, honey, it ain't over yet.

Aquaria, Asia O'Hara, Eureka
and Kameron Michaels,

you've made Mama Ru very proud.

Are you b*tches ready
to lip sync for the crown?

[cheers and applause]

One by one, you'll battle.

And in the end, only one of you

will be crowned America's
Next Drag Superstar.

But before we get started,

I want to take a moment
to celebrate each of you.

First up, turning looks,
stunting pretty,

she's the bitch
from New York City.

Take a look.

- My name is Aquaria,
and I am a superstar.

I'm here to prove to people

that I actually do have the
chops that I say that I have.

I went with
Russia hooker urine.

[all laugh]

I can walk on this runway
in a diaper

and they would eat me up.

- Every week, you brought
amazing looks to the runway.

- It is an iconic
fashion moment.

- ♪ Turning looks,
stunting pretty ♪

♪ I'm the bitch
from New York City ♪

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, Aquaria.

- Hi, RuPaul. How are you?

- Now, you were never
in the bottom two.

- I'm not really into bottoming
as far as I know now.

But I am not necessarily
opposed to trying

or at least lip syncing.

- Yes, of course.
Well, now what's your strategy

for slaying
these lip syncs tonight?

- I've definitely learned
what the audiences like

and what the fans like from me,
which is for me to be me.

And I think I've tickled
your fancy

a couple of times on purpose,
by accident, either/or.

So I know how to impress you.

I know how to impress
the audience,

and I'm definitely here
to steal this show

and hopefully a check, so...

- Yeah. So now,
of all the top four,

who is the toughest queen
to take down tonight?

- Definitely,
the toughest to take down

seems to be Asia O'Hara.

She has been doing this for...

she has been doing drag
for nearly 46 years

or something like that
approximately.

And that's not age-ist.

That's just knowing that
she's proven herself

to be someone who is
fierce freaking competition.

- So, now, Aquaria, tell me.

Who are Gina and David
Palandrani?

- Not their government names.

- Are they from Philly?
- They are from Philly.

They are my beautiful mother
and father, so supportive.

- Whoo! Whoo-whoo!

- Now, I know
you have a restaurant.

Do you serve Philly cheesesteaks
at the restaurant?

- Well, where we live, you don't
call it a Philly cheesesteak.

- Oh, what do you call it?

- A cheesesteak.
- Oh.

[audience laughs]
- That's true.

- Mama Aquaria,
a little birdie told me

that you have a history
with one of our judges.

Actually, we have a photo

of your meeting
with one of our judges.

There you are.

- It's all coming back to me.

- What was the event
that you were at?

- Oh, "The Nutcracker."

- Was your Giovanni
in "The Nutcracker?"

- Yes, he was
The Nutcracker and--

- Oh! Giovanni
was The Nutcracker?

- Yes, he was,

and he had been cracking nuts
for a number of years.

[audience laughs]

- Aquaria, you should be
very proud that you have parents

who have supported you

from being The Nutcracker
to being a nut packer.

- [laughs]

- When we come back,
more with Aquaria.

- ♪ Hey, kitty girl ♪

♪ Get your twirl ♪
- Aah!

- ♪ In the disco heat ♪

♪ You're the boogie
body rockin' queen ♪

♪ Hey, kitty, kitty ♪

- Hey, RuPaul. I have to say
what an accomplishment,

and what "Drag Race's" influence
has been on our pop culture.

It's played such a role

in fostering a global message
of inclusion

and accepting individuals

for just being
their authentic selves.

And you and your show
have made that happen

in a way bigger
than anybody could imagine.

So congratulations to you all.

Thank you
for letting us all to see

that we're all
just humans in drag.

[cheers and applause]
- Oh, my God.

Oprah! We love Oprah!

Oprah! [laughs]

Thank you, Oprah!

Okay, now we've got
some fan questions.

Let's go to the audience
and hear what they have to say.

First up is Jaymes Mansfield.

- Hi, Aquaria.

- Hey, shape shifter!

- Aquaria,
Ari from New York says,

I loved your Melania
in the Snatch Game.

How would you
make America great again?

Like truly great
and not just great for some?

- Facts are facts, America.

America's not great
for all right now.

And for me, I think
creating opportunity

for people to feel included,

whether it's within
our own community

or the country as a whole,
I think is very important.

As Melania Tr*mp once said,
"Any hole is a goal."

[all laugh]
And I think that--

That cannot only apply
to something humorous,

but also creating opportunity
and filling that opportunity.

[cheers and applause]
Thank you.

- So what would it mean to you

to be crowned America's
next drag superstar?

- For me, I've been a fan
of this show since it started.

I remember catching Season 1.

Especially Nina Flowers, I was
like I don't know what it is,

but I see something
about me in her.

Let me be a fan of this
as long as I can.

And to go from that position

to literally
being in the Final Four

of probably the coolest season
of "Drag Race" ever.

[cheers and applause]
Facts are facts.

- And, finally, Aquaria,

I want to thank you
for giving me my new mantra.

Any hole is a goal.

Give it up for Aquaria,
everybody!

[cheers and applause]

Next, a queen
who's both motherly

and one bad ass mama.

Let's take a look.

- Texas is back in the house.

My name is Asia O'Hara.

I'm known for doing pageants,

but I'm also
a versatile performer.

With a "Baywatch" body, even
though she got a hurricane face.

[both laugh]

- Oh, my gosh!

Oh, I'm sorry.

- It's about to be
"Asia O'Hara's Drag Race."

I'm about to own
this whole building!

- You were one of the most
eye catching on the runway.

- You betcha!

♪ Her name
was etched in sorrow ♪

♪ But now
it's blasted in lights ♪

♪ She is stars and stripes
flying high ♪

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, Asia. How you doing?

- Good. How are you?

- So, Asia, who's rooting
for you tonight?

- Hopefully, the entire world,

but most importantly--
[cheers and applause]

But most importantly
my drag daughter Kiley

and my lovely boyfriend
Bret are here.

- So, Bret, how long
have you and Asia been together?

- A little over a year.

- So Mama Ru wants to know

what are your intentions
for my child here?

[all laugh]

[cheers and applause]

- We're going to get married.

- You are gonna get married?
[laughs]

Does he know about this?

- Well, he does now.

[all laugh]

- Now, Asia, we've got
some fan questions for you.

Let's see.
Oh, ladies and gentlemen,

it's Olympian Gus Kenworthy!

[cheers and applause]

You went to the Olympics!

- I did.
- Wow!

- It's like a straighter,

not as fun sporty version
of "Drag Race."

[both laugh]

Asia, Andre from Birmingham d*ed

during your Buttrface
challenge,

and he wants to know have you
ever been catfished online.

- Oh, my God.

- Hoo!

- No!

[all laugh]

Yes, I have been catfished.

Unfortunately, people love
to catfish drag queens.

That is like a sport now.
- Really?

- And luckily
I didn't bite the bait,

but, yeah, I have been almost.

- Well, thank you, Gus.
- Thank you guys.

- Now, all season you were
lifting your fellow queens up.

What you gonna do
to tear these b*tches down?

[cheers and applause]

- I'm not looking
at this experience

as an opportunity
to tear b*tches down.

I'm looking at it
as an opportunity to show

that I'm the best person
for what you're trying to do.

- Ooh, bitch! [laughs]

- There we go!

- Asia, your parents passed away
several years ago.

And in case they're watching,

because, you know,
they get VH-1 in heaven,

what would you say to them?

- Oh.

- Asia, we love you!
- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

I would say to my mom,

thank you for being
a symbol of excellence

for how people should help
other people down their roads.

And I would tell my father,

thank you for being
such a great example

of what type of man I should be.

Because it was through
dressing up like a woman

I learned how to be a man.

- All right.

[cheers and applause]

- Work! Work! Work!

- Last but not least,
I have talked to my lawyers

and I think I owe you an apology

for allegedly slapping you
this season.

- Yes.

- I would like to offer you
a chance to slap me.

[cheers and applause]

So go ahead, Asia.
Slap the one person

who brought you to "Drag Race."

[audience laughs]

The one person who stands
between you and $100.000.

I'm ready.
You can give it to me.

- Um, maybe I jumped the g*n.

Maybe I should wait
and see how tonight plays out.

- Okay, sure.

[laughs]

Asia, all kidding aside,

thank you for reminding us
that kindness is cool.

Give it up for Asia O'Hara!

[cheers and applause]

- ♪ No, you ain't no lady ♪

♪ Oh, oh-oh-oh ♪

♪ And you ain't
nobody's baby, baby ♪

- ♪ Charisma ♪

♪ Uniqueness ♪

- RuPaul, Michelle Visage,

this is to congratulate you
on your last 10 years.

It's brilliantly done,

and all I have to say is
shantay you stay.

And Finty
has to say to you...

- Good luck
and don't f*ck it up.

- [laughs] Wow!

Welcome back to the grand finale
of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

And thank you both.

You know, when I think about it,

the only queen Dame Judi Dench
hasn't played is me.

[audience laughs]

Now, once in a blue moon,
life gives you a second chance,

and this queen would be the
first to tell you all about it.

- Like a Phoenix from the ashes,
Eureka is back!

I got something to prove,

and I'm here
to f*cking slay.

- Alana was amazing.

- Your mama. We do drag
to celebrate ourselves

in a political climate
where right now,

none of us feel like
we belong truly.

- The minute you said,
be yourself to free yourself,

I was just like...

- ♪ Watch me smile
and watch me slay ♪

♪ I'm living for my true self
every day ♪

♪ It's not about your color,
gender or size ♪

♪ But if we come together,
we can rise ♪

I'm the elephant queen!

What are you gonna be?

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, my goodness.

So tell me, Eureka,

what was it like watching
yourself this season?

- Honey, the camera definitely
adds 54 pounds.

- [laughs]
- You know.

- So tell me this.

Who are you looking forward

to lip syncing against tonight?

- I'm looking forward

to lip syncing against
all of them really

if it means I get the crown.
- Okay.

And what would you do
with $100.000?

- My mother raised me and my two
sisters as a single mother

and was put in debt
because of that,

also with her medical condition.

So what I would like to do is

I would like to actually
pay off all of those debts

and be able to give my family
a fresh start at life.

[cheers and applause]

- Well, hello, Mama Eureka
and Monique!

You're her twin sister?
- Yes.

- And who's
the more dominant twin?

- Obviously Eureka.

- [laughs]

- Honestly, being extra
is what makes her so wonderful.

- Yes.

- And you are gonna do it.

[cheers and applause]

- I love you, Mom.

- Thank you so much.

Okay, now time for
some fan questions.

Let's say hello
to Mariah Paris Bolenciaga!

[cheers and applause]

- All right, Miss Eureka,

us being two queens
from the south,

we know we love our snacks.

We love to savor, devour,

and then there's just some
to throw away.

That brings me to my question.

- [laughs]
Wait! Wait!

That was... [laughs]

That was the leadup
to the question?

[all laugh]

- So that brings me
to our question.

Shag, marry, k*ll
your top three fellow sisters.

- I would probably f*ck Asia,

marry Kameron Michaels,
'cause she's quiet.

I talk a lot. I think
a match made in heaven.

- Uh-huh.
[all laugh]

- And I would k*ll Aquaria.
Why not?

[cheers and applause]

- And finally, Eureka,

your "Drag Race" experience
has been one wild ride.

What do you think it all means
sort of metaphysically speaking?

- I think it means

that we don't know the path
that we're designed,

and we have to follow that path
with our best foot forward

and as much positivity and joy
as you can.

What this path has done for me
is it has taught me

you have to care for the people
that love you the most

instead of worrying about
what society and what media

and what our peers
tells us we have to be.

We are so much more than that.

And we are family.

Treat each other like family.

- Thank you.
And remember, Eureka,

you're never too much.
You are everything.

- [laughs]

- Give it up for Eureka!

- Everything!

[cheers and applause]

- Next, a silent
but deadly queen

whose powerhouse lip syncs
took her all the way to the top.

Take a look.

- I'm Kameron Michaels,

and I'm the muscle queen
from Nashville, Tennessee.

Outside of drag, I am
a tatted muscle dude at the gym.

And then I tuck it back,
throw on some pads,

and walk out
looking fishy as f*ck.

I like to think
I'm silent but deadly,

but maybe I need to be a
little more on the deadly side.

♪ Born in Cali,
mama named me Cherilyn ♪

- You set the bar
very, very high.

- I did not think
you could lip sync

the way that you lip sync,
bitch.

You can turn the party.

- ♪ I'm gay and proud,
might not be loud ♪

♪ But I found my sound ♪

[cheers and applause]

- Kameron Michaels!

Now, all season long,
you were underestimated,

and, bitch,
look at your ass now.

- I'm here!
- Yes!

[cheers and applause]

You lip synced four times.

Not many girls can pass three.

What's your secret
to the perfect lip sync?

- First and foremost,
we are entertainers.

And I think it's most important
to know your words.

- Mm-hmm. Yes.

Now, before "Cher, the Rusical,"

you failed to mention

that you actually do Cher
in your nightclub act.

- Did I not say that?
Did I keep that from everybody?

- You certainly did. Now,
does that make you a quiet queen

or a shady queen?

- That may have been
a little more shady.

- Yes. [laughs]

Now, Kameron, get ready,

because we have some
fan questions for you.

- Perfect.

- BeBe Zahara Benet!

- Hi, delta cutie.
- Hi, beautiful.

- Jesse from Seattle
wants to know

do you get laid more in drag
or out of drag?

We want to know, Kameron.
Tell us, bitch, tell us.

- You know what?
I don't have time!

I don't have time!

I get four hours of sleep,
and I need all four hours.

I'm not giving that hour
or 30 minutes

or however long it takes
to anyone!

- So, Kameron, who's here
supporting you tonight?

- Here supporting me tonight

is one of my very best friends
for over a decade

who did about
three-fourths of the stuff

that you saw on the show.

And his name is Ryan.

- Hi, Ryan.
- Hi.

- And my amazing, lovely,
super supportive mother Vicky.

- Hello, Mother Michaels.

- Hi, Ru.

- When Kameron's in drag,

what family member
does Kameron look like?

- Me.
- Oh, okay.

Now, you guys share clothing?
- We do.

- And you have
the same shoe size?

- Yes, we do.
- How is that?

Girl, you must have
some big ass feet.

- I do, I do.

- Now, Kameron, our ratings this
season are higher than ever,

and thanks to you,

we've been attracting
a whole new demographic.

Take a look.

- Hello, Dane.
This is grandma.

I saw you on "Drag Race,"

and I am very, very shocked
at the talent

and what you have accomplished.

And I am so proud of you.

And I love you dearly,
and I always will.

- Oh, wow!

Gorgeous.

- My grandmother loves me.
I am her only grandchild.

She is the mother of my father
who's passed away.

Coming from a really religious
background and family,

I was very worried
what she would think of me

and how she would react
when she found out.

So to see that and know
that she still loves me

and supports me no matter what
is really amazing.

- See? I'm gonna say it again.

"RuPaul's Drag Race,"

still bringing families together
after all these years.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up
for Kameron Michaels.

- Welcome back to the grand
finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

Tonight we celebrate


of tears, triumphs
and tongue pops.

Unfortunately, due to a severe
case of wig water poisoning,

I can't remember any of it!

So with the help of super fan
Sally Jesse Raphael,

let's turn back time.

- The year was 2008.

Nine queens sashayed
into a little TV studio.

- It is my pleasure

to have you all here
at "RuPaul's Drag Race."

- Where they experienced
some very harsh lighting.

Little did they know

that they would be changing
herstory forever.

Soon change was in the air.

- All our equal, all are free.

- And we celebrated
the art of drag.

- These girls are given
production values.

- Okay.

- With sickening challenges.

- Baloney!
- That made us laugh...

- Get those nuts
away from my face.

- H-h-ham!

- Change.
- Gag...

- [gags]
- Oh!

- I'd like to keep it on,
please.

- I'm going home.

- What's going on here?

- And cry.

- I've been living with HIV for
the last two years of my life.

- My mother left my sister
and myself at a bus stop

when I was three.

- We are a family here.

- Always served
with a deep sense of love.

- [gasps] Uh!

- Soon the secret was out.

- Say hello
to Christina Aguilera.

- ♪ Oh ♪

- Mother Monster has arrived.

- Yes, Gaga!
[cheering]

- And "Drag Race" became
a national obsession...

- Okur?

- And an international
phenomenon.

- So they are supposed
to hire y'all hookers

to seduce the gays?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Growing up,
I never could have dreamed

that this day would come.

- In 2015, love won
and so did Violet Chachki.

- Congrats!

- Drag queens became superstars.

- Hello. This is what
makes me money.

This is what people hire to see.

- It even started
a whole new economy.

- Drag Con L.A. 2018!

[cheering]

- And, honey, we are
just getting started.



instead of focusing on
the things that divide us,

"RuPaul's Drag Race" celebrates
what brings us together.

- The night that Donald Tr*mp
was elected president,

I watched five
back-to-back episodes

of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

- Bob the Drag Queen
for president.

- I was basically watching
the version of America

that I wanted to live in
rather than watching the one

that was unfolding
in front of history.

- And the mission is as clear
as it was from day one.

- Everybody say love!

- Love!
- Love!

- To take over
the mothertucking world...

- We will always be here,

and we have always been here.

- One death drop at a time.

[screams and cheers]

[cheers and applause]

- Now, before our Top Four
lip sync for the crown,

I have an extra special treat
for you all.

For the first time
in "Drag Race" herstory,

a mega mix that's
a decade in the making.

Please welcome to the stage

the queens of Season 1
versus the queens of Season 10

in a lip sync
eleganza extravaganza!

Hit it!

Welcome back, ladies.

You've waited all season
for this moment.

But first, to explain

how this legendary lip sync
for the crown will go down,

here's our very own
Carson Kressley.

- Thank you, RuPaul.

Tonight's lip sync smackdown
is going to be bigger.

- Bigger!

- Louder.
- Louder!

- Queenier than ever.
- Queenier!

- Four sickening queens entered,
but only one will survive.

First, a spin of the wheel
determines which two tuck titans

will face off
in lip sync number one.

Then the remaining two glamazons
fight to the death

in lip sync number two!

Then those two finalists
will battle head-to-head,

camel toe-to-camel toe,

for the final lip sync
for the crown!

Ru, this is going to be epic!

Ooh! It was like someone else
was inside my body.

Anyway, back to you, Ru.

- [laughs]

Thank you, Carson.

- No, no, no.
Sit down, everybody.

Sit down. Sit down.

- Now, on this wheel are
the faces of our top four.

Wherever the wheel stops

will determine which queen
lip syncs first.

Ladies, are you ready?

- Yes.
- Yes, ma'am.

- All right, here we go.

I'm so glad I stretched.

[all laugh]

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

All right, the wheel has spoken.

Kameron Michaels,
you will be competing

in tonight's first
lip sync for the crown.

And now it's your turn to pick
who you will lip sync against

in this first round.

Who do you choose?

- I didn't want to do this!

Um...

I think my choice
is going to be Asia O'Hara.

[cheers and applause]

- All right.

That means Aquaria, Eureka,

you two will face off

in tonight's second
lip sync coming up next.

You may leave the stage.

[cheers and applause]

Now, Asia,
it's your turn to choose.

Oh, pit crew?

[cheers and applause]

Each of these boxes

contains one of my favorite
Janet Jackson lip sync songs.

[cheers and applause]

Asia O'Hara,
are you ready to pick?

- Absolutely.
- Good.

Do you choose box number one
or box number two?

- Always number one.

- Jason, open your box.

"Nasty" by Janet Jackson!

Oh, bitch,
this is gonna be good.

Okay, ladies,
assume the position.

[cheers and applause]

Two queens stand behind me.

[audience laughs]

Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me

and save yourself
from elimination.

The time has come...
[thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] for the crown.

The online election

due to outside interference.

[audience laughs]

But unlike those other
shady elections,

we're doing something about it.

[cheers and applause]

We decided to have
Season 10 queens vote

and decide which queen they want
to be Miss Congeniality.
