No, no, no, no.

Ru, I am here

because the local government
in Las Vegas, Clark County,

asked me... yes... [cheering]

asked me to make

that I got a personality.

Vote Team Angeria.

Get this... no?

One thing that I learned
from pageants

is confidence is key.

So every challenge,
I'm, like, bitch,

even if I'm going
into the challenge

and I don't feel that confident,

bitch, I'm, like,
you gonna fake it

till you make it today.

But, I mean, I don't mind.

Angeria Paris VanMichaels.

[RuPaul laughs]

Oh, my goodness,
your track record looks good.

Oh, thank you, Mama.

Now, Angeria, did the little boy
from Sparta, Georgia

ever imagine
he'd be standing here tonight?

You know, I knew that
I was gonna be something.

I knew I was gonna be
successful.

I just didn't know what
I was gonna be successful at.

[all laugh]

But you know what?
We here.

If you would have told me
years ago

that I would have been doing

my first step and repeat
in Las Vegas,

I would have not believed you.

[laughter and applause]

Yes. We a long ways
from Sparta, Georgia, Mama.

That's right.

Now, how has your life changed
since Drag Race?

Oh, it's been amazing.

You know, people,
they come up to me now.

They recognize me
in the grocery store.

They recognize my parents.

Like, it's just amazing.

Like, I really could
have never imagined

that this would be me,

like, at all.

Like, I'm, like, girl, okay.

Uh-huh. [laughs]

It's a little different,
but I think it's safe to say

I'm getting used to it.

[laughter and applause]

So who's here
supporting you tonight?

Oh, my God.
My lovely mother and father.

[cheers and applause]

Hello, Mama and Papa Angeria.

Now, did you always know
you were raising a star?

Well, yes, I really did.

Because I can remember, you
know, her as a kindergartner.

She won her first crown.

And then from one through 12
after that,

every year
she had a crown on her head.

She got a crown
from kindergarten?

Oh, yes, yes.

Yes, she really did.

For doing what?

She was queen...
She was king of kindergarten.

- The queen/king of kindergarten.
- Kindergarten, yes.

Okay.

Yes.

Well, Angeria
turned out so great.

Do you have advice
for other parents

who may be raising a king
or queen of kindergarten?

Well, I would say just love
your kids for who they are

and always, you know,
stand by them

for whatever they wanna be,
and, you know,

just support them and love them.

Yeah, I love that.
I love that.

Now, Angeria, I've always said
drag doesn't change who you are.

It reveals who you are.

So what have you learned
about yourself through drag?

The one thing that I can
definitely say that I learned

is honestly something
that my mom has been telling me

since I was
about four years old,

and that's I can do anything
I put my mind to.

- I love that.
- Yes.

Yes. Yes.
[cheers and applause]

I put my mind
to being a drag queen,

and look at me now.

[laughter and applause]

Well, Miss Angeria,
you have done yourself,

your parents,
and Sparta, Georgia very proud.

Give it up for Angeria.

From Las Vegas,

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

Now, our next top five finalist

is a badass combination

of brains, beauty,
and body-ody-ody.

Take a look.

[cheers and applause]

I'm a tall drink of water,

and I made a pretty big splash
this season.

Coming into the finale,

I'm so excited
to be among my people,

feeling so at home with
all of the other strippers.

[audience laughs]

I came into the competition

very focused on proving myself
to be a talented drag queen.

I wanted to show most of all

that I'm incredibly
good-looking.

What? [laughs]

It's so hot.

I would say
my journey on Drag Race

was kind of like this.

We started out pretty strong,

then we sh*t the bed a little
bit.

I'm known for being
an outfit repeater,

which to the gays
is a cardinal sin. [laughs]

I almost got the chop,
but the drag gods saved me.

I came back and won through
the power of sh*t-talking.

This is why Jorgeous lost.

[audience laughs]

I have no qualms
about being competitive,

but going through
the competition has taught me

how to roll with the punches

and pull yourself back together
after falling apart.

[blows whistle]

Michelle, put a top on!

Are you drowning?
I'm so sorry.

It would be so cool to win.
[laughs]

Tonight the demon queen
of Seattle

is gonna take you
on a heavenly ride.

So watch out, Sin City.

I'm gonna have
so much fun tonight,

and I'm gonna look so hot.
[laughs]

You know, the only thing my
outfit is missing is the crown.

Hello, Bosco!

Now, you are a strange
and exotic queen, darling.

Where does that aesthetic
come from?

I think this is the first time
that Great Falls, Montana's

been described as "exotic."

[both laugh]

I used to watch cartoons
and read so many books

and try to be anywhere
but where I was

for a very long time.

So I kind of started
bringing that

and started dressing up as that.

Always loved villains

and I've always loved
icy b*tches.

[cheers and laughter]

Now, you've got three wins
under your corset,

and as Jorgeous pointed out,

you were in the bottom
three times in one episode.

[laughs]

You sh*t-head.
You were so funny for that.

You should have saved it
for the roast.

[cheers and laughter]

You know, at this point,
I've lost so many times

that the only thing that
makes sense is for me to win.

Yeah, well...
[all laugh]

So what surprised you
the most this season?

You know, I don't think
I went into this

expecting to make
a lot of friends.

That wasn't my priority,
by any means.

But I've walked away with,
like, not only friends,

but, like, a sisterhood.

And... it's incredible.

Queens: Yes!
[audience applause]

Now, has your family
in Montana been watching?

They have been watching.

This is the first time
they've ever seen me in drag

was for, um, the show,

and I've had some family members
come to some of my shows now,

and they have seen
every angle of my taint.

[all laugh]

And that's what I really wanted

to set out
and accomplish at this.

[laughs]

So who's here supporting you
tonight?

I have Miss Lucy Lips

and my incredibly handsome
boyfriend Blake.

Lovely. Now, are you excited
for Bosco tonight?

So very excited, so happy
to be here to support her.

And so describe
your relationship

in three words, Blake.

Uh...

it's never boring.

That was three words, yeah.

Very well done.

[all laugh]

And Lucy, is it true that
you made some of Bosco's looks?

I made some pieces
here or there.

I let her borrow
some things, yeah.

Lucy, did you make all those
bras, corsets, and panties?

[all laugh]

You know, I wish I could
take credit for those,

but, you know, in Seattle,

we support and celebrate
all types of drag,

but the one thing that
we really love to celebrate

is naked sluts.

Oh!
[cheers and laughter]

I like naked sluts.

And you know,
if they don't like it,

wear less and charge more.

That's right.

That's right.
I love it.

All right,
final question, Bosco.

What do you love the most
about drag?

So drag... oh, sorry.

The estrogen
is slappin' right now.

[all laugh]

Yeah, drag taught me
who I wanted to be

and, like, taught me
how I want it to be.

I love that.

Bosco, the drag gods love you,
and so do we.

Give it up for Bosco!

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

Our next showgirl is proof

that you can't keep
a good queen down.

It's Daya Betty.
Take a look.

[cheers and applause]

Hello, Las Vegas.

I am Daya Betty,
the wild card of Season 14.

Ca-caw! Ca-caw!

My journey started off

not the way
that I had anticipated.

My first episode, going home.

But what do you know,
I got to come back,

and I really was just
eyes on the prize

from that point forward.

I was not going to let anyone
or anything get in my way.

It feels so good to be here,
because more than anything

I'm doing it to prove to myself
that I know who I am.

I am my own brand,

with that punk rock attitude

and a fierce competitive streak.

I look nothing like her.

I think the most important thing
that I've learned is resilience,

being able to ultimately fail
at something

and then come back and bite it
in the ass and keep going.

I'm known for being outspoken,
and some people don't like it.

Oh, my God!

f*ck it. I think being
yourself and being authentic

is the most important part.

It's Daya and Jasmine!

You don't always
have to sugarcoat things.

It's probably best
that I don't sugarcoat things,

because it would make
my blood sugar all out of whack.

My drag is all about
being confident, powerful,

and a little edgy
thrown in there.

A little bit of a diva attitude,

but this rock star mindset,
and mash 'em together.

It makes a perfect
drag combination.

Tonight I am so ready
to give you a show.

I think you guys know
how much I want that crown.

I am ready to go in
g*ns a-blazin'

and show everybody what I got.

Well, Daya Betty, you ain't
a fighter, you're a lover.

Oh, thank you.

Now, Daya, you were sent packing

after your very first episode,

but you earned your way
to this grand finale.

Where does your determination
come from?

Oh, my gosh.
Well, I mean,

I was just, like, raised
in a household of people

that were super strong-willed
and outspoken,

and all of my families are.

Maybe it's just something in
the water in Missouri, you know?

Like, cigarette butts,
dead bugs, and determination.

[all laugh]

Now, this season

you were compared
to your sister Crystal Methyd.

Yes.

Did she have any advice for you?

Well, she told me
to grow a mullet,

but that's not really
possible for me, so...

And if you were
a member of DeBarge,

which member would you be?

[all laugh]

Who's DeBarge?

- [all laugh]
- What?

And what inspired you
to do drag?

Well, I get a lot of
inspiration from, like,

women that don't necessarily
follow the
social norms.

You know, like, I like
that rough around the edges

kind of aesthetic.

And, you know, I'm bald,
so I like putting on a wig

and pretending I have hair
for once.

[laughter]

So who's here
supporting you tonight?

Yeah, I have
my boyfriend Tanner.

- Yay, Tanner!
- Yes, Tanner.

And then my...

The other House of Methyd
member, Lux.

- Oh, wow.
- Yes, yes.

Tanner, what makes you
the most proud of Daya Betty?

I would say
what makes me most proud

is how she's not afraid
to express her emotions

and deal with them.

And as you can tell,

she puts her heart
into everything she does,

and she does it flawlessly.

- Yes, she does.
- Love you.

All right, final question, Daya.

What's the most important thing
you'll be taking away

from your time at Drag Race?

I just think it's really
important to remember, like,

life is gonna
throw you curveballs,

things are gonna get you down,

things are not gonna go
as you planned.

But what matters
is how you get up from that

and how you stand tall

and you keep fighting
through it.

I love that.
[cheers and applause]

Now, Daya Betty, I say this
as a compliment.

There ain't nothin' safe
about you.

Give it up for the dangerous
and delightful Daya Betty!

Welcome back to the grand finale

of RuPaul's Drag Race
from Las Vegas.

Tonight's showgirl
showdown continues

as I determine which two queens

will lip sync for the crown.

Up next, she's a queen with
a mix of sugar and spice, girl.

It's Lady Camden!

[cheers and applause]

Place your bets,
ladies and gentlemen,

because luck be a lady tonight,

even though
we all know at this point

she don't need no luck.

Viva Las Vegas, baby!

We love you, Lady Camden!

I'm really proud that
I feel like a rock star now,

after entering the competition
a kind of timid little mouse.

I think the queens
and the judges

were sleeping on me.

I hope she kicks
Daya Betty's ass.

[all laugh]

I just might.

And while it feels like maybe

it was harder for me
to prove myself,

the end result
is a much sweeter taste.

[audience laughs]

When I felt close to a win
and didn't get it,

that kind of
shifted things for me.

It made me feel like,

oh, I need to kind of scream
and shout a little bit more.

Maxine!

People are waiting
for you to succeed.

Some people want you to,
you know, trip and fall.

But a lot of people love it
when you stand back up

and win the challenge.
[cheering]

[laughs]

My highs in this competition

have steadily just been, like,
boom, pow, wow, psh, pew.

I feel like I've slammed
the door open to who I am now.

My family is American
as well as British,

and my American side
of the family,

they just don't
give a f*ck as much.

And I think
that's the side of me

that I'm continuing
to embrace more and more.

[brakes squeal]
Hey!

I'm walking over here!

[audience laughs]

I've realized that Lady Camden
is an embodiment

of who Max wanted to be
when he was six years old.

It just feels like
I'm giving back

to that little kid
who was so scared

to just, like, be gay
and be feminine and be fierce.

I want my performance tonight
to be remembered

as the best you've ever seen
on Drag Race.

Take it from this ginger queen.

If you wanna back a winner...

Bet on red.

[cheers and applause]

So, Camden,
you are a stunt queen.

Where does that come from?

Well, Ru, you know,
once a theater kid,

always a theater kid.

Yes.

I used to pull stunts
all the time.

I used to run away from home,

pretend I'd,
you know, left forever.

I would pretend
that I was really upset

when people would say
mean things to me,

and then I'd just be like,
"Just kidding."

[RuPaul laughs]

Now, your Freddie Mercury reveal
was epic.

Now, I understand... yes, it was.

[cheering]

I understand the group Queen
has a special meaning for you.

Yeah, when I was deciding
to quit all of my jobs,

full-time dancing, waiting
as a server at a restaurant,

the day that I left,
I put on my music

and the first song that came on
was Break Free by Queen.

I don't know. It was just
kind of, like, a nice sign.

It felt like something good
was on the horizon.

Now, looking back,

is there anything you'd
do differently this season?

I think I would take your advice
from day one,

which was just to kind of
let go and truly be yourself.

I feel like... it's what I've
learned from this competition

is it's one thing
to be successful,

but it's everything
to be yourself.

Yes, yes.

So who's here
supporting you tonight?

My mum and my drag mum are here.

[cheers and applause]

So Camden has two mommies.

Yes.

Can you tell
which one's the real mama?

Well, let me guess.

Let me guess which one
is your drag mother

and which one
is your birth mother.

- Hmm.
- They look the same.

They do.

- Twins.
- They do look the same.

So Mother Camden, did you travel
all the way from England?

Yes, I did.

[British accent]
You all right, babe?

Yeah, yep, yep, yep.

- UK, hun?
- Yep.

Top of the world, guv.

[all laugh]

Guvna.

Now, Mother Camden,

did you know that your child
was a stunt queen?

Mm-hmm.

How early did you know that?

Well... five.

- Five years old? What happened?
- Yeah.

He was running around
in my stilettos,

swinging in the garden.

[laughs]

And Mara, anything
you wanna say to Lady Camden?

You got the crown, baby girl.

[cheering]

Bring it back to the Bay Area.

Bring it back to the Bay Area.

Okay, final question.

You possess
the super power of drag.

Will you use it
for good or evil?

Um, I would say both, because
Freddie Mercury made me vers.

[laughter and applause]

Lady Camden, for serving grace,
stunts, and swagger,

we salute you.

Give it up for Lady Camden!

Welcome back to the grand finale

of RuPaul's Drag Race
from Las Vegas.

Now, we are down to our
final showdown performance.

Since day one,

this next queen has proven
that weird is wonderful.

Willow Pill. Take a look.

[cheers and applause]

Tonight, I feel like a high
roller on top of the world,

and nothing and nobody
can stop me.

When I first
walked in the werkroom,

the queens underestimated me.

But over time, I think
their opinions flip-flopped.

I think I brought something
different every time.

I'm more of a character
than I thought I was,

and I always have
a little smile on my face,

but I'm usually scheming
behind in the brain.

I think what I've done
on the show

has resonated with people
so much

because what I do is just
take dark and painful moments

and take the piss out of it.

I am here to represent people

who are dealing
with disabilities

and physical illness.

It is a big part of my drag.

I've been through
a sh*t storm and back,

and it's made my drag funnier
and more interesting.

It's just a special sauce
that I bring to my drag,

and it's more than just
mayonnaise and ketchup.

I've been so consistently
in the top.

Lovely weather we're having.

I've barely faltered
in this competition,

and I think I deserve to win.

Tonight, I'm feeling
a lot of emotions.

This is my last little lap,
and I'm so excited for it.

I can't wait
to share this piece of me.

It's so true to who I am.

I wanna give Las Vegas
the full Willow Pill experience.

I wanna leave them
laughing, crying,

and asking the person
next to them,

"What the f*ck was that?"

[cheers and applause]

[mouthing words]

[RuPaul laughs]

Wow. All right.

Willow, now you say you hate
people, but
people love you.

What's the fan response
been like?

It's been so overwhelming.

Everywhere I go,
I need a bodyguard.

Um, and people give me
toasters and spaghetti

- all over the place.
- Uh-huh.

It's very tempting.

Willow, your resilience
has been so inspiring.

How are you doing?

Um, I don't see how
that's any of your business.

That's the perfect answer.
[all laugh]

That's the perfect answer.

And just know that
your car will be keyed.

[all laugh]

No, I'm doing fabulous.

It's been such an amazing ride,

and now I've got my own
beautiful face and two more.

[all laugh]

This is Carson and Ross,
by the way.

- Oh, okay.
- And Michelle.

[all laugh]

Now, Willow, how have you grown
since you started this journey?

Mostly in the cheeks and lips.

Okay.

But, no, it's been amazing.

I mean, I've been finding
my gender so much,

and just kind of falling in love
with myself all over again.

I love that.
[cheers and applause]

So, Willow, who is here
supporting you tonight?

I've got my mom and my sister.

Oh!
[cheers and applause]

- They look so beautiful!
- Hello, Pills!

Hello.
[all laugh]

Thank you for being here.

Now, who's the mother
and who's the daughter?

I can't tell.

- Mom.
- You're the mom.

Mother Pill, what's it been like
to watch Willow's journey?

It has been the most
meaningful experience.

So much joy,
so much fun and craziness,

along with some tears
in the more vulnerable moments.

And Sister Pill, is it true
that you help Willow shop?

It is true.

We actually shopped together

for her very first
drag performance.

It was not at H&M,
but it was at Forever 21.

[all laugh]

I love H&M, by the way.

[all laugh]

Yeah, you're like
my sister and I,

but we used to
shoplift together.

[all laugh]

Yeah.

All right,
final question, Willow.

Now, if an alien landed on Earth

and asked you
what a drag queen is,

what would you say?

I would say mental illness
and rhinestones.

[laughter and applause]

It's true.

It's funny because it's true.
Yeah, yeah.

Well, Willow, thank you
for reminding us

that great things
come in Willow packages.

Give it up for Willow Pill!

[cheers and applause]

RuPaul: Las Vegas
is a city in drag

and the home
to one legendary queen:

Hot Chocolate AKA Larry Edwards.

Born in Fort Myers, Florida,

Hot Chocolate was crowned
Miss Gay America in 1980.

She moved to Vegas
seven years later,

and Sin City
has never been the same.

As the world's number one
Tina Turner impersonator,

her charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and talent

is simply the best.

On stage, TV, or the movies,

Hot Chocolate
always makes a splash.

But if you ask fans,
family, and friends,

her greatest accomplishment
is her winning attitude.

For inspiring generations

of Vegas queens
and q*eer performers,

tonight RuPaul's Drag Race
gives a big, "Hey, girl, hey,"

to one of the greatest
of all time: Hot Chocolate.

Give it up for Hot Chocolate!

[mouthing words]
[cheers and applause]

I love you.
What a star.

What a great star
and a lovely person.
