02x12 -Reunion

[bunniefuu]

- Tonight, on RuPaul's

Drag Race: Reunited!,

the superstars

of season two return,

and the fur flies.

- Some of these girls

in the competition

need a personality lift.

- f*ck you too, bitch.

- Watch as my girls dish

a little bit of love...

- Pray for me

and pray for my son.

- That's the call that I waited

my entire life to hear.

- And a whole lot of shade.

- This woman's gonna cuss me

the [...] out.

[laughing]

- Hey, I'm not done talking yet.

You will speak when I'm done.

- Ooh.

- Security.

- And we announce your choice

for this season's

fabulous Las Vegas

Miss Congeniality Award.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

[car engines racing]

Welcome to RuPaul's Drag Race:

Reunited!

People are always asking,

"RuPaul, what's the secret

to the show's success?"

Well, the answer is simple.

It's magic.

Before your very eyes,



into bewitching beauties

and do things that mere mortals

can only dream about.

Why, these drag queens

are just plain wicked.

And they got more tricks

than Jesse James

and Tiger Woods combined.

And just as they cast

their spell upon the nation,

one by one...poof, poof...

they vanish.

But tonight, through the magic

of television,

you can thank your lucky stars,

because all our queens

are back...

tucked, plucked,

and ready to conjure up

a little realness.

First up, these two queens came

to RuPaul's Drag Race

representing the South.

Can I get a big hallelu for

Miss Shangela Laquifa Wadley,

and from Atlanta, Georgia,

Miss Nicole Paige Brooks.

Next up, Miss Two-Piece

and a Biscuit herself,

Mystique Summers Madison.

The last time these two queens

were together,

they were lip-synching

for their lives.

Please welcome back Sonique

and Morgan McMichaels.

Hello, ladies.

all: Hi.

- [laughs]

All right, girls, let's dish.

- Uh-oh.

- Shangela, was that corn

on your wrist?

- Ooh! Yes!

This is my new Gaga-inspired

"cornsage."

- A-mazing.

- Yes, I've learned a little bit

in the last year.

- Now, you'd been doing drag

for just a few months

before coming to Drag Race.

Do you think you were too green

to be on Drag Race?

- No, I definitely came

to this competition to compete,

to be a drag superstar.

I mean, did you see the

lip-synch for your life? Okay?

I definitely came to party

with the people.

But you guys said that I needed

a little bit more time.

This wasn't RuPaul's school

for girls, all right?

All right!

So I left, learned a little

something,

and then went and won

this California Entertainer

of the Year pageant

and came home with a crown, ow.

- Okay.

[laughing]

So you're snatching trophies

and corn.

- Honey, I'm snatching

everything,

and hopefully a husband is next.

Hallelu.

- Thank you.

All right, Nicole Paige Brooks

from Atlanta, Georgia.

- Yes, sir.

- I know that you are

a fierce drag mama.

Uh, you're also

a fierce drag papa.

- Yes.

- Did your son get

to see the show?

- He saw the Barbie part,

when we did the Barbies,

and he's like,

"Oh, Da-da's on TV."

And he got really excited.

But, um, he hasn't seen Nicole

yet.

But there's pictures of me

all over the house,

and you ask him who that is,

and he's like, "I don't know."

I don't think that it's all come

together yet, but it will.

- How old is he?

- He's four.

- Now, you didn't last as long

as some people predicted.

- Yeah.

- Now, what were

your frustrations

with the competition?

- I really...liked all

the sorority of the girls.

You know, we were pretty unified

when we were here.

And then I was shocked to see

Raven talking about everybody

behind our backs.

To be honest, my feelings...

- Were you really?

- I was really surprised.

- Really?

See, I thought Raven was

very up-front, like me.

- You didn't say nothin'

behind my back.

- No, of course, not, but,

like, I didn't think Raven did

either.

- Well, we will discuss that

when Raven comes out.

- Yeah.

- All right, Mystique.

Now, you said you were bringing

up the plus-size gals.

Did you get a lot of support

from the community?

- Yes, I got a lot of people

saying, "Thank you for showing

me that I can go out there

and just be me and not conform

to, like, society's thoughts."

- Now, some people felt

that you had given up

on the last challenge,

that you had sort

of thrown in the towel.

- There's a lot of issues

with that.

I live in Dallas, Fort Worth.

And a lot of the gangs and stuff

was acting up in Mexico,

and they was kidnapping

Americans.

'Cause my mom works in Mexico.

So that morning, I heard that a

lot of Americans was kidnapped.

So in my head, I was like,

"I don't know

if it's my mom there."

- She's not a drug mule,

is she?

- No, she is not!

- She was okay, right?

- She was okay, be...

- Well, I have to ask, then,

about why the schmatta blouse

and the black pants.

- I mean, the black pants,

they were busted.

- But the thing is, I wanted

to be, like, you know,

the up-to-date,

country type of thing.

- Time out! Please.

Real quick.

I'm a native Texan.

And you said I'm representing

the people who really dress

like this in Texas.

This is representative

of how we dress.

That is not representative of

how everyone dresses in Texas.

And your makeup skills are not

how everyone in Texas

does makeup.

- True.

- Well, Mystique, you look

beautiful tonight.

- Thank you.

- You look gorgeous.

All right, Sonique.

- Hi.

- Now, I gotta say,

the elimination

between you and Morgan

was one of the toughest

I've ever done.

'Cause you were both incredible.

- Thank you.

- Did I get it right, though?

- I actually...I don't know.

I thought I was prepared

and everything like that,

and I've learned so much more

about myself

and about my drag

and everything.

But I...I felt like

the whole time I was here,

I was in a dream.

- Was it a sweet dream or

a beautiful nightmare for you?

- My mind was always

somewhere else.

- Like, where else?

What are you talking about?

- I don't really feel

that people got a chance

to get to know who Sonique is.

- And I've heard that there's

something you want to share

with us concerning that.

- I don't know,

I was always just so...

Um...it's very personal,

and I don't want to...

- Can I check on her?

- We'll give her a moment.

- [crying] I know

they don't understand.

And that's...

and that's the reason why

I've been so unhappy

for so long.

- Hey, kiddo, you okay?

What is it, honey?

Talk to me.

- I haven't been happy for

a really long time in my life.

And I've never understood why.

I just had to be honest

with myself and...

I've...

I'm a woman.

I'm not a boy who dresses up.

The...I feel like the only thing

I've ever done right

was go to a doctor

and start transitioning.

I've never been more happier

in my entire life.

- Good.

You want...would you...

join the group again?

- Yeah.

- Maybe we could talk

a little bit about it.

- I'm proud of you.

- Come on, baby.

- Thank you.

I'm so happy.

How's my makeup look?

- Destroyed, bitch.

- Don't do that to me.

- All right, ladies,

Sonique is back.

Do you feel safe to share

something with the group?

- I always knew that there

wasn't something right.

I couldn't ever be boy enough.

I've always been a girl.

I've always been a girl

trapped in a boy's body.

I started doing drag.

And...there was just something

about it that wasn't enough.

And I've...I went to a doctor,

and he put me on testosterone

blockers,

and then moved me to hormones,

and my levels are even,

and I've never been happier

in my whole life.

- Well, I know a lot of people

get it confused...

what a transsexual is and what...

- There's a line between drag

and transgender.

Most transgender girls

do not do drag.

You know, they want to live

their life solely as a woman,

where drag queens want to get

out of drag and be a man.

When I go home, I ne...

I dread taking off my makeup.

- Listen, I'm so happy and proud

of you for being so courageous.

'Cause I know how hard that is.

You know, I...I'm a man,

I do drag,

and that's what I do for work.

But for you to make

this realization,

to be happy performing

but also to clarify

not only for all of us,

but for yourself,

I applaud you.

And I think it's so courageous.

And you have our support, this

family here, forever, any time.

[light applause]

All right.

Moving on

to Miss Morgan McMichaels.

Now, I hear that you are

transitioning from being a man

into a butch man.

Is that right?

- [deep voice] Absolutely.

[all laugh]

We're going in different

directions, Sonique and I.

- Now, Morgan, you and Mystique

had your moments together.

- Did we?

- When?

- When?

- Let's take a look.

- Oh, here we go.

You have no class

and no manners.

- No class, no manners?

You piss me off some more,

I will whoop your f*cking ass!

Bitch, I am from Chicago!

[laughs]

- Wow.

Morgan, that was intense.

- You know, at the end

of the day, I'm a man.

And I'm not gonna let people

disrespect me.

Now, everything that I said

during the fight,

obviously it was elevated,

and it was heated.

And, you know,

your makeup is your own,

and your hair is your own,

and everything that you do

to make Mystique is fabulous.

I think you're

an amazing entertainer.

- Why, thank you.

I love you too.

We should make out later.

- Ew.

- [laughs]

See, no, we had a heart-to-heart

since the whole fight.

- Yeah, we've spoken.

- We spoke.

Some people think we don't talk,

and we're just pissed off

at each other.

- People are under the illusion

that one fight has ended

any chance of a friendship.

- Are there any girls that you

haven't kept in touch with?

- I haven't spoken

with Tatianna.

Like, watching the episodes and,

like, watching the comments

she made about me,

I was not surprised.

I think I was more disappointed.

- So you found out more about

what she said

once you watched the show.

- Once I watched the episodes,

and she kept calling me a whore,

and I needed to be knocked off

my high horse,

I think it was

from her own insecurity,

'cause I never said a bad word

about Tatianna.

- Well, you'll have a chance

to speak with Tatianna

face-to-face,

and all the other girls,

when RuPaul's Drag Race:

Reunited! continues.

Welcome back to RuPaul's

Drag Race: Reunited!

Our next doll

is a dancin' queen.

Welcome back, Sahara Davenport.

From sizzling San Juan,

it's Miss Jessica Wild.

Escandalo!

When this queen's in the house,

it's a barrel of laughs.

Give it up for Pandora Boxx!

This next queen's natural beauty

is undeniable.

Welcome back the ravishing

Tatianna.

The song you just sashayed out

to is the Bangkok Booty Mix

of LadyBoy,

available on iTunes.

Sahara, now, during the show,

we found out that your mother

was a minister

and that your family wasn't that

supportive of your drag career.

Since the show, what's happened?

- One night,

I was heading out to a gig,

and I got a text from her:

"I see you on RuPaul's show,

and you look fabulous.

Call me."

And I was like, "Oh, my God,

I'm gonna call her,

and this woman is gonna cuss me

the [...] out."

- You thought

it was an intervention?

- Yeah, I thought

it was an intervention,

but I actually called her

the next morning.

She was like, "Oh, my God,

I'm so proud of you."

- Would you say

RuPaul's Drag Race

is bringing families together?

- Christian, black families

together!

- All right, praise...

- Hallelu!

- Hallelu!

[laughter]

- What reaction

do you get from fans

who've watched you on the show?

- I get Facebooks all the time

from little boys who are asking

me questions like,

"I want to tell my mom.

I don't have the strength.

I don't have the courage.

Please help me."

And it's just like,

"I didn't know I was signing up

for that," you know.

I thought I was coming on,

you know, to...

to be fabulous and show

the world my talent and,

you know,

increase my booking fee.

[laughter]

But the show definitely

has given me a voice,

and it's taught me that,

outside of just the performance,

that we all have a voice

and have a responsibility

to not only our community,

but to the world,

to share and help those in need

as much as we can.

- That's lovely,

and you're absolutely right.

Thank you, Sahara.

Now, Jessica, you had some

issues with your English.

- Yes.

I was so scared when you called

me that I'm on the show.

Because I don't speak English.

But I think, at the same time,

"I'm not gonna quit.

I'm just gonna do it."

- Well, I think your accent

is absolutely charming.

- Sometimes I'm lost,

but I'm acting like...

"Oh, oh, yes.

"Oh, my God, the judges?

"Oh, I love it.

I love it."

- What's the wildest thing

people have written to you?

- A mom write me that her son

want to be a drag queen.

And her son have ten years old.

And she said, "Now you show me

that my son is a special,

and I need to love him more

and more."

So I teach people that my mom

love me, no matter what.

So you need to support your

family, because we are specials.

- Yeah.

Thank you, Jessica.

- Thank you.

- Pandora, now, Entertainment

Weekly called your elimination

the most controversial.

And at one point in the show,

I called you the Susan Lucci

of Drag Race.

You came very close

to winning challenges,

but you never won a challenge.

Do you hate me?

- I was the one

that keyed your car.

- Oh, it was you!

- Yeah.

I feel much better now.

- Oh, good.

So, Pandora, you made

a very brave admission

at one point in the show.

Let's take a look.

- I tried to k*ll myself.

- Oh, no, sir.

- I didn't understand.

I didn't know what gay was.

I knew I was totally different,

I felt totally alone.

I thought that, you know,

"Well, I'll just take

all these pills

because I don't...

I can't deal with it anymore."

- Now, that was very brave,

and I was very moved by that.

What's the reaction been?

- I've gotten many emails

from people

saying that they have gone

through the same thing,

and they've felt

the same emotion.

And I actually got, probably,

the most powerful email.

Somebody said,

by hearing my story,

that they said

that I saved their life.

I burst into tears.

I was blown away by that.

- It's amazing the power

that you have as queen,

and it's quite a gift.

I also remember that you talked

about your father,

and that he, you know, wasn't

that accepting of what you do,

and that he had been ill.

- He always accepted me being

gay, but the drag thing,

he just didn't want

to really acknowledge.

- Was there any closure there?

- There was a moment

before he passed away.

It was actually a week

before he passed away.

And he called me and he said

that he watched Drag Race,

and that he was so proud of me,

and he was my number one fan.

And that's the call...

[choking back tears]

That's the call that I waited

my entire life to hear.

- That's beautiful.

And so many have been waiting

for that call.

Do you have anything to say

about the people out there

who have been waiting

for that call?

- I would just say that know

that you're good enough,

and you're perfect

the way that you are.

And you have to affirm

your life,

and that's what I did before,

but it was amazing to at least

have that moment

before he passed away.

- Well, no matter what happens,

I mean,

you always kept us laughing,

and that's worth $1 billion.

- Can I get paid a $1 billion

for it?

[laughter]

- I love that outfit,

by the way.

It's your Drag Race

official dress.

- It is.

You know, I'll just go

into merchandising for it.

- I think it's brilliant.

Yeah.

- By Marco Marco.

Well, I came up

with the concept,

and then he did it for me.

- It's brilliant.

- Changed a few things.

- Yeah, it's great.

- It's got it all: the checkered

flag, the runway...

Brilliant.

I figure if

I couldn't win the race,

I'll at least win the race in

this outfit.

- Yes, absolutely.

And I'm sure Santino will have

a lot to say about that outfit.

- [laughs]

And I'm sure I won't listen

to him again.

[laughter]

- I thank you, Pandora.

- Thank you.

- Tatianna.

- Hey.

- T-A-T-I.

Yeah, you were one controversial

character on the show.

- Evidently.

- During the show,

you were pretty b*at up

by the other girls.

- There was a few nights

that I went back to the hotel

and just cried and didn't really

want to talk about it.

'cause I didn't want people

to see

that they were getting to me.

- Did it affect you?

- It definitely affected me.

When I left here, I didn't want

to be around drag queens

for a good minute.

[laughter]

I'll say that right now.

I did not want to.

- Now, in a mini-challenge,

we asked you to throw shade

in front of everyone.

And you kind of froze up.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yet...

[laughs]

You weren't shy about

criticizing others

during your interviews.

- Oh, no.

- Let's take a look.

- Oh, boy. Shall we?

[laughs]

I am so happy

that someone said something

about Morgan's whoreness.

Sonique, she always got

that stank face.

Raven all of a sudden decides

that she to blossom, verbally.

These sparkling 30 years that

she's got behind her,

there's just so much there

that she just can't hold it in.

She's just got to spread it.

- Okay.

- Hey.

- Do you think it's okay to say

something behind somebody's back

as opposed to...to their face?

- I didn't come in with,

like, a strategy of,

"Well, I'm gonna be nice,

and then I'm gonna cut 'em,

you know, behind the scenes."

Like, it wasn't like that.

I wanted to speak of others how

I would want to be spoken about.

When someone comes at me wrong,

then that rule's going out

the window,

and I'm talking some sh*t.

- When did I ever say or do

anything to you

to make you say something

about me?

Because I never was

that way to you.

- No one said every single thing

that they thought

to that person.

- Well, neither did you.

- No one did.

I know, I know,

and I'm not saying I did either.

- I definitely did.

You're a little more reserved.

I mean, sure, your legs...

you have great stems, honey.

But you know what I'm saying?

But I just didn't appreciate

the fact that, you know,

you totally slung me, like,

"Oh, she's a whore."

- I didn't mean literally

you are a whore.

- Right.

- Certainly not.

- So, Tatianna, the biggest

critique from the other girls

was that they felt you were

getting by on your looks.

Now, how did that make you feel?

- It kind of pissed me off.

- Kind of pissed you off

or really pissed you off?

- It really pissed me off.

- Tell me about it.

- It truly pissed me off.

I'm more than a face.

I have something to say.

I have thoughts.

- You're a great pair of legs

too.

- Thank you.

I think that you saw

that I was progressing,

and that I was growing,

and I feel like all the other

girls chopped it down to,

"Oh, well, she's just pretty.

She's just Rebecca."

And I'm like,

"No, I'm more than that."

Just because I have a more of

a realistic type look sometimes

doesn't mean that I'm any less

of a queen than anyone else.

As long as I have a d*ck between

my legs and a wig on my head,

I'm a drag queen.

- Dressed.

- Point-blank, period.

And that is the way that it is.

- The criteria gets down

to the charisma,

uniqueness, nerve, and talent.

And you really can't even

compare all of you, you know?

You're all winners.

You're all winners.

Coming up, we'll be joined by

Raven, Jujubee,

and America's Next Drag

Superstar, Tyra Sanchez.

The new Tyra.

Welcome back to RuPaul's

Drag Race: Reunited!

Let's welcome back the Laotian

in the house,

the incomparable Miss Jujubee!

Early in the competition,

this next queen almost sashayed

away, twice.

But she dug deep,

stepped up her game,

and ended up in the top two.

That is so Raven.

This last doll always

stole the show.

And some of these queens

want it back.

America's next drag superstar,

Miss Tyra Sanchez!

[applause]

Tyra!

- Hey.

- My queen.

Mwah. Mwah.

Gorgeous.

- Thank you.

- Have a seat, darling.

You're all here.

How 'bout that?

Look around you.

These are your sisters.

Win or lose, love or hate,

we are family.

[shaky voice]

And I am your mother.

- Oh.

- Mommy.

- Jujubee.

- Hi.

- You talked a little in the

show about being a gay Asian.

Have all the Gasians out there

contacted you?

- Yes.

- What have they said?

- They...they say

that it's an inspiring feat

for me to be on television

and talk about my culture

and actually speak Laotian.

And, you know,

my family's really happy.

I'm very excited.

- Have you talked to your mom?

- I have not.

- Now, if your mom

is watching this,

is there anything

you'd like to say to her?

- Thank you for giving me life.

You know, I mean, that's...

That's really

what I have right now.

It's...it's been ten years, but

I need a little bit...I need...

I need a little bit more time.

- Another ten years?

- No, I wouldn't...I don't know.

I-I feel bad, and I feel

for her, but I'm not ready.

Maybe Jujubee's gonna help bring

that out,

but it's just

a struggle for me still.

- So you didn't become

America's Next Drag Superstar.

- Mm-hmm.

- What is next for you?

- I'm still gonna

keep doing drag.

I mean, I wanna be in movies.

I wanna be onstage.

I wanna...I wanna play Angel

on Broadway in Rent.

I wanna do it all.

- I think that's gonna happen

for you.

The opportunity has opened up

for each of you.

The fact that you made it

into this competition...

eh, uh...

just under 300 years old.

I know some things, and the fact

that this happened...

don't take it for granted,

ladies.

The world is yours, but it

depends on what you put into it.

- I agree.

- Now, Raven, you were

in the bottom two twice.

- Mm-hmm.

- And you ended up number two.

How'd you pull that off?

- I knew when I f*cked up.

Like, I knew when I did a bad

job, and I owned up to it.

My chicken was the most horrible

chicken in the f*cking world.

Welcome to another...

Oh, sh*t.

- So your chicken was funky.

- Really funky, girl.

I was so focused on having,

like, a Southern accent...

So then I see that Jessica

was doing a chicken voice,

I'm like,

"I'm such a f*cking airhead."

Why wouldn't I do

a chicken voice?

- Now, Raven, you were not shy

during the competition,

and you were liberal

in speaking your mind.

Let's take a look.

- Nicole's gone.

Praise the Lord.

She has acrylic toenails...

with white French tips.

Tatianna's an airhead.

All she's been doing the past

couple weeks is...this.

Tatianna is about face value.

So f*ck you, Tatianna.

- f*ck you, too, bitch.

- Mwah.

- Let me put it out there

real quick.

- Tatianna, how do you feel

about hearing all that?

- Um...

I think my feelings

are easily explained.

You're jealous.

You're insecure.

No one that feels that great

about themselves

has to put others down

the way that you do.

I have had very negative

feelings towards you

since the end of that show.

Now, I know that

I said some sh*t.

But really, though, how do you

say something like what you said

to people...like Nicole.

I think Nicole genuinely

thought she made a friend.

- We were not talking about

Nicole and I right now.

We were talking

about you and me.

- Okay, well,

then let me get back to it.

- But, I mean, that is a fact.

I really did think

I found a friend.

I was gagged by that.

- Until the point...

- Okay...

- I'm not done talking yet.

You will speak when I'm done.

- Ooh.

- Honey.

- Security.

- She has gotten everything that

she wanted to say out about me.

It's my turn.

And I never said anything

hurtful about you.

I said that you run your mouth,

'cause you do.

But I didn't, like...I didn't

go for, "Oh, she's fat.

"Oh, she's an airhead.

"She's dumb, she's nothing.

They're living for someone

that's nothing."

Bullshit.

- When my opinion was asked for,

is when I gave it.

- When you were in an interview?

- When I went into the

interview, they would say,

"What do you think about this?

What do you think about that?"

Here's my opinion.

So if it came off and sounded

shitty,

sorry that it sounded shitty.

- No, you're not.

Don't give empty apologies.

You're not sorry for sh*t.

- Okay, well, then I'm done.

- 'Cause I haven't heard

from you.

The only thing I've heard from

you was, "You're gorgeous."

And then another message,

"You're gorgeous."

- 'Cause you are gorgeous,

and I've told you that

since day one.

You, out of everyone in this

competition,

has the most beautiful face

in this competition.

- I'm more than a face.

- It's just malicious,

just gay faggotry

that I just was not thinking

we were gonna run into here.

- Well, guess what.

We are making a TV show.

So don't sit here and act like

we were filming an episode

of 7th Heaven.

- I didn't say that.

- It's a f*cking drag

competition.

- Yeah, I know, but, I mean,

but they were all smiling

in my face at one point.

- I never smiled in your face,

and I never hung out with you.

So you can sit there and say

that we were cool

and we hung out...we never did.

Every one of you, even Morgan,

can sit here and say,

"You're a f*cking bitch."

I don't care.

- That's evident.

It's very evident.

That's the problem.

That is your problem.

Your personality is for sh*t.

- It's not a problem actually.

- You are the one

that is face value.

Your outside is gorgeous, Raven,

but your insides are dark and

nasty, and I don't like you.

- You were pretty bitchy

yourself, so there.

- I wasn't that bad.

I was not like you.

I wasn't like you.

Let's be clear.

The people I spoke sh*t about,

I'm sorry, at the point in time,

they deserved it,

and I was mad.

But I didn't deserve

what you said about me.

I didn't deserve it

and neither did anyone else.

- So you going, "Oh, I pity you

for the face you have,"

that's not the same thing?

- There's a difference.

I'm sorry, but there's a

blatant, obvious difference.

- I know Raven really well,

and Raven's a beautiful f*cking

person.

I know you really well,

and I know you're a f*cking

beautiful person.

You guys have such

the same traits

that it doesn't work.

Do you know what I'm saying?

And I hate...and I hate...

and I hate to say that to you

and to you, because I know you

don't like that,

but there's a lot

of similarities.

So live with it or just don't

talk to each other.

- And I will say,

on my last night...

or my last day there,

I had a conversation with you,

and I said, "You know what,

"we do have things in common.

I don't understand why you hate

me so much."

And it's almost like you look at

me, and you see...

- Well, I don't hate you.

I don't hate you, Tatianna.

- The things that you say,

I can't fathom...

not hating someone,

but then feeling justified

and not wanting to apologize

for the things that you said.

- If it hurt your feelings,

okay, then I am sorry

that it hurt your feelings.

I am not sorry for saying it.

Okay?

- Okay.

- Now, we are overly sensitive.

But your feelings are not facts.

And I said this to the first

season,

because they got their panties

in a bunch

over things that are said.

Listen, kiddo,

things are gonna be said.

And you're all highly

intelligent,

you're all highly sensitive.

You have to not let it

hurt your feelings.

Raven is a little more seasoned.

So her skin is a little bit

thicker, basically.

- It's weathered.

- It's...[laughs]

Raven, you're under a lot

of heat right now,

but you've also made millions

and millions of fans.

Would you have done anything

differently?

- I wouldn't have said a lot of

things that I did or said them

the way that I did.

I realize I don't speak

eloquently.

I'm not a lady.

- Oh, no, I think you speak

very eloquently.

- Well, thank you.

But I...you know, and I have

the mouth of a trucker.

So I'm like...I guess you could

say I'm an eloquent trucker.

[laughter]

I would have worded things

a lot softer.

Because like Pandora said in one

of the Untuckeds,

that the next drag superstar

needs to be

basically not such

a wretched c**t.

- [laughs]

- So I would have worded things

differently.

- Really?

- Yep.

- Now, Tatianna,

Raven apologized,

but you still seem

to be holding onto it.

Why is that?

- 'Cause, you know,

I am sensitive.

And the things that she said

did bother me.

And when I came here I, "A," had

no friends in the drag world.

I had also never traveled

by myself before.

I'd never been on a plane

by myself before.

I had never been

away from my family

as long as I was by myself.

So I think it just...

you think of someone

in your head a certain way,

and when you watch it,

it's completely different,

it kind of...it hurts.

- Yeah.

- And I should not have been as

vocal as I was about Tatianna,

about you, again,

and I'm gonna speak to you.

I apologize.

- So, kids, this is the perfect

time for a little hug.

- For your mother.

- For your mother.

- Aw.

Well, Tatianna, Raven,

I hope you feel better.

I know I do.

Welcome back to RuPaul's

Drag Race: Reunited!

Tyra Sanchez.

- Hi.

- America's Next Drag Superstar.

Now, some people probably think

this is a controversial decision

to have you as

the Next Drag Superstar.

Of all the girls, you received

some of the harshest criticisms

from the other competitors.

Expressions like

"lazy bitch,"

"immature,"

"mannerless."

- "Satan's baby."

- "Satan's baby."

How's that make you feel?

- When I watched it, I realized

that, at the time,

I was all those things that they

were calling me.

All I can do is, like, apologize

to Sahara and to Tatianna,

all the girls, Jujubee, whoever.

If I hurt your feelings,

if I did anything to,

like, make you upset,

like Pandora, or anyone else,

I can only apologize.

I can't take back what I did.

But I can only make

from this day forward better.

- Well, you know, a lot of

people who have written in

have very strong feelings

about you.

You know,

they acknowledge the fact

that you are a fierce queen,

but your behavior on the show

turned them off.

Is there anything you want

to say to them?

- And all I could ask is that

for them to reach out

and pray for me,

pray for me and pray for my son,

like, for us

to have a better life

and to be better people

within ourselves.

- Um, coming back here,

you know,

you get to reconnect with people

you haven't seen in a while,

and I saw a complete change

in Tyra.

She's completely not the...

not the same Tyra

that I fought with.

She's not that Tyra anymore.

- What's changed?

- Just the general demeanor.

It just seems like she's

a lot more like, "Hello."

It looks like she wants

to try and integrate.

I didn't get that on the show.

It would be everyone hanging out

and then Tyra separating herself

to a certain extent.

- I think she was just

so focused on a goal,

and that she didn't want to come

and hang out with everyone

because then she would end up

not being focused

on the next day's challenge

and could possibly end up

in the bottom two.

- Is that true, Tyra?

- Before I came here,

I didn't have a place to stay.

I was sleeping

on my drag mother's floor.

I didn't have a job.

When I came here,

my goal was to win.

If I went home empty-handed,

like, that wasn't an option.

But my mom, like,

she always teached me,

when you want something,

you pray for it.

And so I stayed prayed up.

That's what I call it,

I prayed up.

When I went into the hotel,

I didn't want to hang out.

I stayed in my room and, like,

I would ask God for ideas,

creations for the next

challenge, or what to do on,

like, on the runway.

Give me the idea that I need

to win this challenge.

- She's young.

She have the opportunity

to change, and I think she did.

And I just want to say

that I'm so proud of you.

And I feel great that you are

the Next Drag Superstar,

because you have

a lot of talent.

A lot of people love you,

and we are going to support you

in your career.

- I'm a fan, I really am.

Like, watching the show,

you can't take it from her.

Watching the show I'm like,

"The bitch turned it."

- Well, listen, I think that

your prayers were answered,

and I think that people

will pray for you

and your success as America's

Next Drag Superstar.

I have to say, you came here

with a drag mother

who clearly taught you

the rules of drag.

In the wedding challenge,

you come out on your knees

behind the biggest bouquet

of flowers I've ever seen.

You peekaboo around it,

throw the flowers in the air,

and jump up

without support on your feet.

And when I called you out

after your runway presentation,

you had tears in your eyes.

And you pulled the veil

over your face back

in the back of the room.

Bitch, your p*ssy was on fire.

That sh*t was fierce.

Now, I'm...I told you,

I'm just under 300 years old.

Seen a lot of queens.

That kind of behavior

that you had clearly learned

from another elderly queen

such as I,

that's magic.

That's magic sh*t

right there.

- Thank you.

- Now, Tyra, how do you think

winning the crown will

change your life?

- This is opening so many doors

for me, and not only me,

for my son, just to make

his life better

and to give him the things

that I didn't have.

I actually got custody of him,

so now, this month, he's gonna

be staying with me

from this point on.

And I just, like, have everyone

helping me out in so many ways.

- Tyra, I just have to ask you.

Aside from your beautiful,

bejeweled bosom,

is there a secret

to your smile?

- Yes, I got a new smile,

not because of the reading

that we had.

- Miss Tyra,

was your barbecue canceled?

Your grill is f*cked up.

- Oop!

- The barbecue is back, honey.

- The barbecue is back on.

And not because of what people

were saying on the Internet.

I did it for myself.

Got it fixed,

got it straightened.

I even got my voice deepened.

[laughter]

- Can they do that?

- They can do that.

It goes deeper and deeper

every day.

[laughter]

- All right, coming up,

the girls get their chance

to judge the judges

as RuPaul's Drag Race: Reunited!

keeps on keeping on.

Welcome back to RuPaul's

Drag Race: Reunited!

Now, drag queens are always

getting judged.

Every once in a while,

it's nice to give a little back.

So, girls, sharpen your claws

for two of my favorite people

in the world.

Please welcome back our resident

biological woman,

Merle Ginsberg,

and the always fashionable

Santino Rice.

Now, the two of you

are L.A. party people.

Who out there surprised you

that were fans of the show?

- I did a little job

interviewing people

on a red carpet,

and I had to interview Johnny

Weir, the great skater,

and I'm so excited to meet

Johnny Weir.

And I put out my hand, he goes,

"Oh, I love you.

I love Drag Race."

I was like, "I can't even

believe this is happening."

- Now, Merle,

this season on our show,

what stood out fashion-wise?

- Well, Tyra's looks

just blew me away.

They really did.

They were so Paris runway,

Christian Dior.

And I just kept wondering,

how the hell did she do that?

- When you are

in a situation like this

and the whole world is watching,

yeah, you hot glue things

to your body,

you super glue earrings

to your ears.

You see where people's

dedication and passion is

and how bad you want this.

- You chop off those toes

to fit in those shoes.

- Yeah.

- Now, Santino, you saved

your harshest criticism

for Pandora Boxx.

Tell me this, Pandora,

how did it feel

when you were being critiqued

on the runway?

- It was horrible.

It's hard to be up there getting

critiqued, and it did affect me.

And by the wedding challenge,

that's really where I kind

of...I had a breakdown.

I had a breakdown in my room,

because I just went in there and

just cried because I was like,

"I don't know what to do.

"I feel like I'm listening.

"I feel like I'm trying

to do what...

the best I can and to take

everybody's critiques

and do it."

But when you're told that,

"I don't like your style,"

I kind of didn't know

where to go from there.

- All I could say is, Pandora,

do you feel like,

out of all these queens,

you have the best personal style

and you were the most

fashionable every challenge?

- Um, I definitely don't feel

that I was,

but that's not

my strongest suit.

- Sure.

- But, you know,

I can hire a stylist.

And some of these girls

in the competition

needed a personality lift,

and you can't get one of those.

- You're right.

You're absolutely right.

And seeing you today, Pandora,

I think you look amazing.

I think what you're wearing

is funny, it's young.

You look stylish, hip,

but there were times

where you came out,

and it seemed like it was kind

of a rehabbed pageant gown

or something that wasn't quite

up to your personality

and your comedic timing.

- It's about knowing thyself

and presenting that

on the stage,

and you can never go wrong.

- The biggest thing I learned

is not to second-guess myself.

Because every outfit that got

a really harsh critique,

there was another one that I was

gonna wear instead and I said,

"Wear that other one."

and I changed my mind

at the last minute

and just kept what I had on.

So I wish I would have listened

to my inner voice that said

that, you know, "You need to...

You need to wear

the better outfit."

- What do you have to say about

Santino's outfit tonight?

- [laughs]

- I love homeless chic.

I think it looks great.

[laughter]

- You know what, let's all

together, all the contestants,

let out a primal yell directed

towards the judges' panel

over here.

Just yell it out.

One, two, three.

[all yelling]

- [laughs]

Merle, Santino, thank you

so much for coming back.

Now when we return,

the viewers have voted,

and I will announce your choice

for the fabulous

Las Vegas Miss Congeniality

and the final lip-synch

for your life.
