- Welcome to an extra special

episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Honey, this hour is jam packed.

- Face.

- Face.

- Beauty face.

Because when it comes

to RuPaul's Drag Race,

too much is never enough.

- $5.00.

Try something new.

- But before we race

to the finish line,

let's go back

and pay our respects

to the nine amazing queens

that didn't make it

to the winner's circle.

- Hey, everybody,

look at me.

Here I am.

- We are in my home.

I'm gonna show a few

of my things to you.

- Hey, RuPaul

and casting directors.

- I'm the one

you're looking for!

- Now, when Shangela

sent in her casting tape,

she'd been doing drag

for only three months.

- Now, you have to forgive me

because I had to drag myself

out of bed

to pull this video together.

[sniffles] Bitch think

he got the swine flu.

[sniffles]

- But what she lacked

in experience,

she made up for in enthusiasm,

showmanship,

and attitude.

- Some b*tches,

when they in drag,

they are catty,

hateful hos.

But nobody likes a hateful ho.

Mm-mmm.

No, you need to be sweet

to people.

Girl, I got diesel breath.

[laughter]

- It's every single...

- Our next queen,

Nicole Paige Brooks,

was tasteful

and sophisticated.

In short, Atlanta eleganza.

- Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!

- Hey!

- Wait a minute!

We just started,

and y'all are already breaking

my number one rule,

which is what?

If I can hear you over me,

you need to what?

- Shut the f*ck up!

- You may remember me

from RuPaul's Drag Race

season one,

when I almost made it,

and you got to see

my audition video on the show.

Just in case you don't remember,

here it is.

My name is Nicole...

my name is Nicole...

my name is Nicole Paige Brooks.

RuPaul.

- RuPaul.

- I need you to pick dada

this time.

- I need you

to pick dada this time.

- [laughing]

- We knew we loved

the marvelous Mystique

from the moment she shared

her most important

beauty secret...

two piece and a biscuit.

- Well, I already ate

that one piece,

and here's the other,

you know.

That two piece and a biscuit

can give you hips and curves

and everything else.

Drag for me

is a creative outlet,

and it's an expression on life,

and it's the art

of the illusion.

You know I'm a size 0,

the infinite number?

- ♪ Cover girl ♪

♪ Put the bass in your walk ♪

♪ Head to toe ♪

♪ Let your whole body talk ♪

- Gotta eat that breast

and that biscuit

just to keep

that girlish figure.

Smooches.

- The lady Sonique

was nothing if not versatile.

She rocked so many looks,

she had us flippin' out.

- That's my Catwoman mask.

My new Catwoman mask.

Actually, the Black Cat.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, yeah.

- These are my drag mother's

fire torches.

I gotta show you those.

[blowing]

- I knew that Morgan McMichaels

was my kind of queen

when she invited us

to check her out

in a back alley.

- My favorite place to walk

and give you a catwalk show

is in the alley.

I'ma start from way back here.

- ♪ Stroll down the runway ♪

♪ Another payday ♪

♪ Cover of magazines ♪

- So we're on a tour.

This is RuPaul's Drag Race,

in a audition video,

and this is my closet,

ladies and gentlemen.

We have bags of hair,

leather chaps,

leather leather,

leather leather shiny things.

You know drag queens

love shiny things.

- Sahara Davenport's

audition tape

showed some sass,

some class,

and even a little bit of ass.

- Hi!

I'm Sahara Davenport!

Drag means, to me, freedom

of expression definitely.

What I can say

is drag has taken me places

where my career as a dancer

was unable to.

If I had to describe Sahara,

I would say

she has the grace

of Debbie Allen.

Whoo!

And she's a big ol' man,

like RuPaul.

[laughing]

- Sexy Latina Jessica Wild

earned her spot on the show

by winning

an online casting contest

at rupaulsdragrace.com.

- For me, Jessica

is a gift to myself,

because it gave me opportunity

to do things that as David

I was afraid to do.

- In drag,

comedy and timing

can be as important

as a tight tuck.

Pandora Boxx's

hilarious audition tape

proved she understood

the importance of all three.

- Tell us, Pandora Boxx,

what is the secret

to your success?

- Well, Michael, you see...

Oh, hold on.

I hope you don't mind

if I do something.

- Uh...okay.

- I'm 37 years old...ooh.

I just...that's the first time

I think I've said it out loud.

It's only been a week.

I don't know if you know,

but I did audition last year.

I didn't make it, clearly,

and I'm not bitter.

It's a kind of like

a little, um...

like a Swiss Miss kind of...

well, it's best

I just show you.

[claps]

Here I am.

- Tatianna's audition tape

was second to none

when it came to femininity

and sheer beauty.

- And if I don't get chosen

this time,

I'm gonna try again

next season

and the season after that

and the season after that.

And you're eventually

going to get tired

of seeing my face,

so it's in your best interests

just to get it over with now

and put me on the show, 'kay?

- All these girls

have sashayed away,

but even though

they left the race,

they're still

spreading the love,

and you can catch their acts

all over the country.

Find out where.

Just go to rupaulsdragrace.com

and click.

- Can I get a amen.

- ♪ A-a-a-a-men ♪

Oh!

- This year's queens

tore up the main stage

like never before.

And to help me

count down the top ten

most unforgettable

fits and fashions,

I've invited

three unforgettable queens

from last season...

the divine Ongina,

the fabulous Shannel,

and last season's winner,

the queen herself,

the incredible

BeBe Zahara Benet.

Cameroon!

[laughter]

Hi, ladies.

- Hi, Ru.

- Welcome back

to the Drag Race.

- Thanks for having us.

- Shannel, you moved

to another city.

- Seattle.

- Now, did RuPaul's Drag Race

change your life?

- The world.

All three of us...

we've just been in every city,

and it's been...

it's been amazing.

- Yeah, I've been reading

about you all,

and, BeBe, you moved

to a new city, too, didn't you?

- New York.

- People recognize you

on the street?

- Yeah, and that's

overwhelming too.

- So you've been watching

the show.

- Crazy 12 girls

you have there.

- I put together

the top ten list

of the most unforgettable

fits and fashions

on the runway.

Coming in at number ten

are the death-defying drops

of Miss Two Piece and a Biscuit

herself, Mystique.

Whoa!

Wow.

It always felt like she was

gonna break something.

- She dropped it

like it was hot.

- She sure did.

[laughter and applause]

Now, do any of you

do splits at all?

- Mm-mm.

- No?

I would think you could,

Shannel.

- I'll juggle, but no splits.

- Yeah, only in the comfort

of my own bedroom.

- [laughing]

- Honey, she had one foot

on the dresser.

- I think big girls

are always fabulous, though.

- Being a big girl,

you knew

that she had to pull out

all the stops.

- She's pretty too.

- She is pretty.

- Very pretty.

She's not afraid

of the cosmetics.

- No.

- She will get in there,

and she'll paint

for the Rose Bowl, honey.

- Yes, indeed.

Oh, yes.

She baked it

like Betty Crocker.

She did a thing

called cooking her makeup.

Do you guys cook?

- I mean, the queens

have to cook.

- Well, it's when you put

your foundation on your face

and you let it sit and warm to

your own body's temperature...

- I never knew that.

- So that it's...yeah.

- I cook.

- I'm cooking right now,

right?

I'm actually wearing

a Crock-Pot right now.

- Oh, okay.

- [laughs]

- Bet you can't guess

where it is.

- [laughs]

- I'll give you a hint.

It's near my lovin' oven.

[all laugh]

- I really like

her personality.

- Yeah.

- Yes.

- Now, after the burlesque show,

we asked our girls

to walk the runway

in their best high-class drag.

Coming in at number nine

is Miss Tatianna,

who brought it home

in Galliano realness.

Now, what did you think

of her dress?

- It was prom-y,

a little too short.

- I would've liked it

to have swept the ground.

- And a little train.

- Mm-hmm.

- Maybe not the earrings

with the necklace.

- But, you know,

give or take a necklace

or an earring or two,

that was one of her best looks.

Now, everybody knows my girls

are the creme de la creme,

but coming in at number eight

is Miss Jujubee in her getup

from the

Starrbootylicious episode.

Now, Jujubee was wearing her

"Imelda Marcos goes to the prom

in the Ashford & Simpson

collection from Sears" dress,

but it was gorgeous.

You know, normally

that could not work,

but something about her humor

pulls that off.

- She seemed very bubbly

and kind of peppy.

I think she paints

really, really well.

- Reminds me

of a little Ongina.

[laughter]

- I like her

because she's Asian.

So go, Asians!

- Without the hair.

- Well, yeah.

No, she's...

I really like that dress.

- Yeah.

- I mean, you know,

if I wore that dress,

it would probably drown me,

but for her, it works.

- It works for her.

- And I think it's gorgeous.

- And, you know,

there's a certain consciousness

that Jujubee has that is, um...

it's kind of got a wink

to everything that she does,

and it made it work.

- She was a real transformation,

too, from boy to girl.

- I was surprised.

- Big difference there.

- Yes.

- Big difference.

- Yeah.

I think with a lot

of the kids this season

that the difference is huge.

- Yeah.

- I like her boy name too.

It's Airline.

- Oh, that's right.

- Yeah, it's amazing.

- Yeah.

- No, I think that her...

She could actually use her

boy name as a drag name, yeah.

- Sure.

- But Jujubee is great.

- Jujubee is fantastic.

Do you know the meaning

of "jujubee," what that means?

- No.

- I think it's a...

- It's a candy.

- Yes, well, the...

it is, I think, in Thailand,

the truckers who are

traveling cross-country

chew this candy to stay awake

at night.

- Because it gets stuck

in your teeth

and then you can't even separate

your gums,

and you spend more time

picking it out of your teeth

than you do swallowing it.

- She has pizzazz,

and she's always going, "Pah."

- In the Country Queens episode,

Jessica Wild's country couture

left the others in the dust,

and it has her coming in

at number seven.

Was she bootylicious or what?

- Hip-alicious, bootylicious...

she's padded for life.

- Now, of course,

she was padded.

Now, you don't pad,

do you, Ongina?

- No.

- And, of course, Shannel

doesn't need to pad,

because she's got it.

- Junky trunk, right?

- Now, um, our queen...

any tips for padding

for the kids out there?

- Um, I don't pad.

- Oh, you don't pad?

[laughter]

- I don't pad.

- That's a lie.

- Do you think

that Jessica's pad job

was acceptable by our queen?

- Well, you know what?

- I just...of course it's due.

- Yeah, yeah.

- I think it was...yeah.

It was realistic,

but then again,

you have to figure out

how tall you are

and how short you are

to make it that realistic.

- Right.

- You know?

- So I shouldn't get that made.

- Well, you can get it made,

but you have to...

- In that size.

- You can make it to your body.

- Oh, okay.

- Right.

- Some girls, you know,

only pad here

when they really should pad,

like, say, from the knee up,

or they may have...

They may...a lot of times,

girls, I think

will put their pads too low,

too,

because they want to hear

a lot of hip hugger things.

And then they've got, you know,

an ass that sits on the ground,

which, I mean,

I'm the last one to talk,

but, you know, see...

- Well, I think that Jessica

did her padding very well

this time.

Now, we asked our judges

to work the runway,

and divas like Kathy Griffin,

Dita Von Teese,

and Miss Debbie Reynolds

showed us queens a thing or two

about being fabulous.

Coming in at number six

are the stunning runway stylings

of our Drag Race judges.

What'd you think

of our star power

on the runway this year?

- Kathy Griffin coming out

with the damn bar...

but I love

Debbie Reynolds too.

- Debbie Reynolds.

- Oh, my God, she's adorable.

- She introduced herself

as Princess Leia's mother.

And Henry Rollins...he gets

sexier with age, actually.

- If you need a housekeeper.

- Talking about sexy,

Dita Von Teese...

- Oh, yes.

- Amazing...

- Yeah, true living pinup.

- In the Rocker Chick challenge,

my girls had

to transform themselves

into rock star divas.

And together, they come in

at number five

on the countdown.

- I was really impressed

with Raven and Tatianna.

- ♪ This groove

is for my girls ♪

♪ Little lady boys and girls ♪

- Especially Raven...

I think that the hair was just...

the color contrast

was really hot.

- Well, she was paying homage

to Terri Nunn,

who was from the group Berlin,

and that was Terri Nunn's

trademark hairdo.

Now, I know that you did

the rap on my song.

- Yes.

- And you have a song out now.

- Yeah.

- What's it called?

- I'm the Shit.

- Oh, God.

[laughter]

Now there were a lot of looks

this season

that drew inspiration

from history's

greatest superstars.

But in the Once Upon a Queen

episode,

a star was born,

and that's why Raven

is number four

on the countdown.

- I love Raven, and I also am

a huge Streisand fan.

So I loved it

'cause it was Goldmember

meets The Main Event.

- It was a very surprising look

for her.

- She took out her piercing.

- She took out her piercings.

- Which made the look

a little bit more high glamour,

because if she would have

kept them on,

then it would have not worked

for me.

- Although I kind of

secretly would love

to see Barbra Streisand

with those piercings.

- Yeah.

- Can you imagine?

- Yeah.

Maybe she is pierced...

Down there.

[laughter]

- For the busy drag queen

on the go,

versatility is a must.

So I love it

when a single outfit

suddenly turns into two

or three or more.

Coming in at number three,

behold the many country looks

of Tyra Sanchez,

the other Tyra.

- If you're going to work

with the first outfit

and then you have to run out

to lunch

on the second outfit

and then dinner on the third...

- Right, and then

the escort agency calls.

[laughter]

- I like reveals,

because I think it keeps you

very interested

and it's, like,

the "oohs" and the "ahhs"

and really gives you

that whole showgirl

aspect of it.

- Yes.

In season one,

there were a few little spats

between the contestants.

Right, girls?

- Maybe.

- Just a few.

Well, this season,

we had a sh**t

at the Drag Race Corral.

Coming in at number two,

it's the terrible Ts,

Tyra versus Tatianna.

What are the judges not seeing?

- Tyra is a complete bitch.

- She talks so much shit

about so many people

but won't say it

to their face.

- The reality is in this field

there is so much cattiness.

After having been dressed

for so many hours

and under the lights

and all of that,

you know, tensions are high.

I mean, God knows in our season,

I mean,

I had lots of frustrations

myself.

Things happen.

Sometimes you just have

to vocalize it.

- All right, kids, we are down

to number one in our countdown.

- Ru, can I say something?

I think it's time I take over.

- Uh, BeBe, you may be

the next drag superstar,

but it's still my show.

- Well, I think the moment

has come for us

to reveal the most unforgettable

fits and fashion

from the runway all worn by you.

- Me?

- You!

- Me?

- Obviously you.

- Oh, my God.

I'm back.

- My favorite

is the very Lacroix one

with the pleats

and the three shades of cream,

beige, and a little lavender.

- I think that looks so pretty.

- That was our Wedding show.

I played the mother

of the bride.

- It's gorgeous.

- Then the red and black.

- Right, now that was very

Miss Ross.

- But it was so beautiful.

That was so striking

and the silhouette

of the body...

- And I love

all the ostrich feathers

on the lilac dress,

the strapless.

- What made some of those

outfits so fantastic

was the fact that you

changed hair color.

- Well, Mathu always wants

to top himself.

I think with

the punk rock outfit,

I think that's probably

the biggest hair

I've ever worn in my career.

Ladies, thank you so much

for stopping by.

I'm so happy

for all of your successes,

and I can't wait till we're all

on the RuPaul Drag Race Tour

all over the world.

- Thank you.

- Yes.

- Thank you

for making it happen.

- You guys make sure

you tune in next week

to see who will be crowned

the next drag queen superstar.

Now, I hope you're hungry...

- [belches]

- Because I've been digging up

some tasty tidbits,

unseen morsels,

and delicious

behind-the-scene nuggets.

[growls]

all: Cherry pie! Cherry pie!

Cherry pie!

- Now naturally, there was

some fierce competition

between the queens.

- It's a competition.

- But what impressed me the most

was the mutual love and support,

because when it comes to drag,

support is essential.

- I'm trying to get this bitch

just to stay on.

I hope I can make

some new drag sisters

to really give me some tips,

help a bitch out.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- We all genuinely want

each other to look good.

- Do you have time, baby,

to help me just put this on?

- People that are

helping each other,

they're helping each other

because they want them to stay.

- And so you just take

your white,

highlight all this area,

and make that pop.

Granted, this is a competition.

It's also a learning experience.

- You, like, want me

to wrap it around you?

- Put...poom, poom, poom, yeah.

This look too bad?

If you are going to win,

you are going to win

no matter what.

That's why if I need

to give you my panties,

I give you my panties,

because if I'm going to win,

I'm going to win

with or without panties.

- Our girls weren't afraid

to talk about anything,

including a drag queen's

best kept secret.

I'm talking about padding.

Are you a padded queen?

- I do pad, yes.

- I wear hip pads, yeah,

but I don't wear a butt pad,

'cause I have

a little bit of a...

- Okay.

- Did you see my ass?

Did you see my hips?

Boys don't have that.

I molded that.

- I think you've got

quite a shape there.

- Well, yesterday,

I wore hip pads.

- Wow, some of these girls,

they're pretty cute,

but if you're trying to do drag,

use your pads to look

at least like a girl.

- Now, you don't have padding.

You're not a padded queen.

- I like being thin.

I like...I modeled myself after,

like, a supermodel.

We're not like that in L.A.

We don't pad.

That's an East Coast, Midwest,

Southern thing

where they're pageant girls.

- It's private,

you know what I mean?

I'm putting on my body.

- This season,

the drag queens proved

that they were talented

celebrity impersonators.

But behind the scenes,

these queens

stepped up their game

and started doing each other.

- Nicole Paige Brooks

from Atlanta, Georgia.

- "Nicole Paige Brooks

from Atlanta, Georgia."

- [laughs]

- [mocking laugh]

- I hot glued it to my leg

along with these to my arm.

- "Tyra, can you pass over

that hot glue g*n, please?

"I'm fixing to glue

some rhinestones

onto my gown that

I'm trying to fix and make."

- I'm doing Sasha Fierce,

but technically,

I'm doing Beyoncé.

- "I love Beyoncé."

- As drag queens,

we make our own families,

but when the girls talked

about their real families,

the emotions ranged

from admiration

to something more complicated.

- "Dear son,

this is your mommy speaking.

"You're a very talented child,

and you could be

whatever you want."

She wrote me a note once before

when I was competing

for something

when I was, like, 20,

and I've kept it.

"So remember, if you don't do

what you're trying to,

I'll be behind you

with my belt."

- So your mom

said she's gon' beat you

if you don't make it?

- Yeah, basically.

- Damn.

- I'm really fortunate,

because a lot of people

don't have that family base,

you know?

Especially in our community.

And I'm just lucky to have a mom

that's so supportive

and I love very much.

- My father's one

of the toughest Scotsmen.

Like, he's a man's man,

you know?

And he was so okay

with me being gay.

He was like, "I love you.

It doesn't really matter

as long as you're happy."

And I was like, "Bizzle."

- To each his own.

- Absolutely.

- Like, when people

find out you're gay

and they're like,

"You know God loves you,"

yeah, I know he does.

Imagine what the world

would look like

if there weren't gay people.

Eww.

- I loved hearing

all the girls' backgrounds.

But Jujubee's sense of history

was positively Shakespearean.

- Did you guys know

the word "drag" is an acronym

that Shakespeare created?

- "Dress resembling a girl."

- It was actually a side note

for his plays,

because back in the day,

the players of the stage

were all men.

- They were ladyboys.

- One thing there was

no shortage of was girl talk.

- Whoo!

- Think it was gay pride

last year or something.

I got a taxi, and we go home.

I was, like, in drag in bed

like, "Come on, baby.

Let's do it."

[chuckles]

And he's like, "No!

You're Sahara!"

- Well, and people ask him,

you know,

if we have sex when I'm in drag

and all that stuff, so...

- There's ever been a night

where you're just messy drunk?

And you're just like,

"I don't want to take this off.

Let's just do it."

- No.

- Now, you know I love

a good catchphrase.

The time has come...

for you to lip-synch...

for your life.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

And may the best woman win.

And don't f*ck It up.

But this season,

I had some serious competition.

- Work.

- Work.

- You better work, bitch.

- I'm not a bitch.

I'm America's sweetheart.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Are you going through it?

Are you going through

some psychological changes

in your life?

- I'm not.

- I'm not either.

- Now, I know you're

a two piece and a biscuit.

- As long as that two piece

and a biscuit is there,

I am perfectly happy.

- [laughs]

- I got my two piece

and a biscuit

waiting on me anywhere I go.

- During my worldwide tour,

I stopped in Texas,

and I did meet mystique,

and she wanted to be tipped

with a two piece and a biscuit.

- Two piece and a biscuit.

Mystique gone but not forgotten.

[laughter and applause]

Now, it's been

an incredible season...

What do the bags say?

They say "Santino"?

[laughter]

Dripping with charisma,

uniqueness, nerve,

and talent.

- Marker.

- Welcome to another...

Oh, shit.

- And I'm not just talking

about the queens.

I'm talking about the judges.

Sassy Santino

and our resident fashionista,

Merle Ginsberg,

not to mention our star-studded

panel of guest judges.

- That, to me,

was a complete turn-on.

- [gasps]

- Kathy, did you know Jessica

was padded?

- I am too actually.

- Okay.

- Yeah, I've been padded

for the last ten years.

[laughter]

- The judges brought a lot

of life experience to the show,

and the contestants

were all ears.

- You must not listen

to the interviewer.

If he says,

"Where are you from?"

you say, "Well, actually,

I'm from so-and-so,

but in my book,"

and then you name the book.

You always have to bring it in

yourself,

'cause they're never

gonna bring it in.

- I started working

in a strip club,

like, with the regular girls.

You could walk into the club,

and you could find

that there was one girl

everyone was trying to be like,

and they're all doing

the same thing,

so it doesn't make

financial sense.

- So your lip sync

was very, very good too,

which I noticed right away,

because in films,

that's what we always did.

It's not easy

to lip-synch correctly,

and you did a super job.

- In the real world,

if you get arrested

and don't speak English,

the court

appoints a interpreter.

But here on RuPaul's Drag Race,

language barriers

are just part of the fun.

Did you tuck your candy?

Did you hide your candy?

- My candy?

- Yes.

Um, como...

- Huevos.

- Huevos el pollo?

- Oh, my...this?

- Something with Angela

at the end.

- Everyone has a problem

with my name.

- I was gonna say Kangela.

I'll change mine to Kangela.

- 'Cause a lot of kids

are calling you Shan-gella.

- Or Shanga-linga.

She called her

Shanga-linga.

- I do have an ointment

in my dressing room for that.

Yeah, you know,

a lot of the judges

mentioned Tyra's deep voice.

- When you transform into Tyra,

why doesn't your voice change?

- In fact, Santino

didn't just mention it.

He worked it.

- [in deep voice]

I think that Tyra should stay,

but sometimes when I see her

and she's talking to me,

I just think, "Who is this dude

talking to me?"

- [laughs]

- I'll give you $4,000

to stop that right now.

- Right, right, me too.

Now, most queens aren't shy,

but this is a family show.

So you have to use

a little discretion.

And nothing says discretion

like a double entendre.

- Anybody that's eating

my cherry pie

raves about it.

- How's the crust?

- Crispy

and a little tender

in the middle.

- And the fruit?

- Always ripe.

- Is it juicy, Pandora?

- It's overflowing with juices.

- Would you say your cherry pie

was succulent?

- I would say it's succulent

and a bit moist.

- Oh.

- [laughing]

You getting hungry, Kim?

- I'm getting hungry.

- Now, for some queens,

the ultimate praise is when

people think you're a real girl.

- It's really a woman,

isn't it?

- It is really a woman.

- I knew it.

I knew it.

- It's called being fishy.

- When you walked out,

I really did have

that same moment that Dita had.

Is that a girl?

I think that's a girl.

There's an imposter in the show.

It's a girl.

Check her crotch.

- Well, maybe we have

a real scandal here.

Maybe she's actually

a real woman.

- What?

- Ever thought about that?

- I will walk off this set.

- I will kick her ass.

- I was give her a pap smear

in five seconds,

and I will get

to the bottom of it.

- This season, we not only

dished celebrities.

We ate 'em for lunch.

- I mean, I love everything.

I'm gonna be the Paula tonight,

I think.

I'm the Paula

of the RuPaul show.

- I know a number

of big Hollywood moguls

who would like to take you out

if you ever...

if you're ever available.

[laughter]

- I really like Lady Gaga

a lot.

She's almost like

a drag queen herself.

- Almost?

You're very kind.

You actually did more work than

Britney does in her concert.

I mean, you actually sang

in your concert,

which is something

Britney does not do.

- I like that wig.

It looked good.

You know, I really did see...

Leslie Stahl

has a good wig as well.

Leslie, I'm so sorry.

- At the end of the day,

I hope I'm less of a judge

and more of a teacher.

And the best way to teach,

of course, is by example.

Earlier today, I had my face

lifted for a fifth time.

Why?

Because I'm dedicated to this,

children.

You are a burning sensation,

and I don't want an ointment

to clear it up.

You have to use what you've got

to get what you want.

You know, my friends call me

the MacGyver of drag.

I will take a wire hanger and...

- A Maxi Pad.

- And jimmy-rig

a lighting system

in a hotel room.

- What happens sometimes

is that my nuts pop,

and it reminds me

that I'm a dude.

- [laughs]

- So I try to go right back

to being feminine,

so that's what happens.

- Yeah, I mean, I know...

everybody knows

about popping a cherry,

but nobody talks

about popping a nut.

- No.

- It is part of doing drag.

So in case you missed

any of the fierce action...

- You pushed me!

You pushed me!

- Here's a fast-forward

flashback

of this season's competition.

- Cheeseburger, Taco Bell,

and a Diet Coke on the side,

girl.

- On the first day,

the Gone with the Window

photo sh**t

tested the queens' ability

to get real,

to get glamour,

and get blown.

- I've never been blown

like that in my life.

[laughter]

- Then everybody had to channel

their inner Scarlett O'Hara

and style an outfit

from a set of curtains.

Morgan McMichaels,

you are the winner

of this challenge.

Mystique, based on your

unforgettable presentation,

I'm giving you

a "get out of jail free" card.

Sahara Davenport, shante,

you stay.

Shangela, sashay away.

Next, we divided the queens into

two teams of burlesque dancers,

and each team had to work hard

for the money...

[cheers and applause]

Then take to the streets

and represent.

- You got some money for me?

- Does anybody want

cherry pie gift certificates?

- Help me out.

Buy some pie.

- Be soprano, though,

when you talk, girl.

- Hi. Would you like to buy

a slice of cherry pie?

- In the end, Sahara won,

and Raven

and Nicole Paige Brooks

had to lip-synch

for their lives.

Nicole Paige Brooks,

you are a fabulous queen.

Now sashay away.

Next, the girls

had to sh**t a commercial

for Disco Extra

Greasy Shortening.

- Hi.

Welcome to another

home-fried meal.

- Wait, can you stop?

Can we cut?

Can you...

is it home-fried male?

- Is it home-fried male?

- Home-fried meal.

- Meal. okay.

Thought she was

gonna fry up a boy.

- On the main stage,

the girls turned it out

in front of country legend

Tanya Tucker.

- Wow.

Awesome.

- Tyra stepped up her game

with three outfits in one.

Tyra Sanchez, you tore it up,

Miss Thing.

And it was Mystique's turn

to, well, split.

[laughter and applause]

- Next, we asked the girls

to channel

their best celebrity

impersonations

for a little quiz show

we call The Snatch Game.

- I'm so...

I'm a little embarrassed, Ru.

- Are you embarrassed?

- I'm a little embarrassed.

'Cause I just wrote, "I've got

a lovely bunch of coconuts."

[laughter]

- Britney,

Dumb Dee Dee's so dumb,

last night, she got arrested

for driving without a...

- A baby in her lap.

- A baby...

[laughter]

Tatiana took the prize,

and Sonique bent over backwards

to try and stay in the game...

when she and Morgan

had to lip-synch

for their lives.

This choice

has never been so difficult.

Sonique...

sashay away.

For the next challenge,

we asked the girls

to customize wedding dresses.

And Tyra's "singing"

and her hot glue g*n

got on everybody's nerves.

- [off-key singing]

Ah, shh...

- Keep burning yourself,

bitch.

- Ah!

- But on the main stage,

the judges went all

Lady Gaga over Tyra's look.

- You look like

a porcelain doll...

- Thank you.

- With the makeup, I love it.

- Tyra Sanchez,

congratulations.

You're the winner

of this challenge.

When it came time

to lip-synch for your life,

Sahara was really

on her toes.

And poor Morgan

got left at the altar.

- ♪ When the valley is deep ♪

♪ I said I'll never ♪

- For the next challenge,

the guest judge Henry Rollins

joined Terri Nunn,

and the whole house was rockin'.

all: ♪ A, T, I ♪

♪ T, A, T, I ♪

[sultry music]

- Sahara Davenport...

sashay away.

When the girls regroup,

they hit the books to create

their own autobiography.

- It's so exciting to be a part

of RuPaul's Drag Race.

It's almost as exciting

as my new book Out of the Box.

- The book is called

The Woman in Me.

- I just got finished

writing a memoir,

and I call it

Memoirs of a Gay-sha.

- I have my new book.

- What was that?

- The name is Jessica Wild:

The dreams of a Golden Child.

- Well, first of all, I'm

Young, Broke, and Fabulous.

My new book is going

to hit stores soon.

- In the end, Raven was

the hands-down best seller.

Raven, you're young, broke,

and fabulous.

Tatiana and Jessica Wild had

to lip-synch for their lives.

And it was the closing chapter

for Jessica.

- Thank you from

the bottom of my heart.

- So the next challenge

had the girls working

with some gay pioneers

from the Stonewall era.

- Which one of you b*tches

is my drag mother?

- Whoa, Jesus.

- I thought maybe you'd do

something interesting with it,

like a low cut.

I put in all this stuff

for today.

- And these silver foxes

turned into golden girls.

- Oh, dear.

[laughing]

- And in the end, Raven

carried herself to victory.

Yay!

[applause]

Pandora, you opened your box

for the world to see.

Now sashay away.

[laughing and applause]

Next, the girls were nominated

for the first annual Diva Award.

[women vocalizing]

♪ ♪

all: Bitch.

- On the main stage,

the girls served

some serious mean teen fashions,

dished up some extreme D.C.

executive realness,

and gave Hollywood's

red carpet beauties

a run for their money.

- I feel wonderful, fabulous,

gorgeous, beautiful.

- Gorgeous.

- In the end, Tyra outdiva-ed

the other divas.

Tatianna, you made

this competition fun and fresh.

For that,

I have just two words.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

And then there were three.

all: Amen.

- In just one week,

Raven, Tyra, or Jujubee

will walk away with the title

of America's

next drag superstar.

The winner will also receive

a lifetime supply

of NYX cosmetics

and be the face

of nyxcosmetics.com,

an exclusive

one-year PR contract

with the leading LGBT firm

Project Publicity,

be featured in l.a.Eyeworks'

legendary

designer eyewear campaign,

and headline

Logo's Drag Race Tour,

featuring exceptional

Absolut drinks,

and a cash prize of $25,000.

If you think

you know these divas,

think again.

Because behind

the fabulous dances

and fierce facades,

there's a whole lot of heart

and soul

you've never seen until now.

When first we saw Jujubee's

audition tape...

- Hi, RuPaul Drag Race,

my name is Airline.

- We were wowed

by her transformation.

[gasps]

Jujubee.

- And do you have anything

you want to say

to your fans out there?

- I just want to say thank you

for all the years that

you have been supporting me.

- Sweet and bubbly

to feisty and fierce.

- And you!

Legendary you think you are.

Legendary

looks like leg and dairy.

- Oh-ho-ho!

- Jujubee wasn't afraid

to share some of the pain

from her past.

Where do you get your sense

of humor from?

- My father passing away

when I was 15.

- 15?

- Yeah, and from then on,

it was just, like,

you know, I can't be stuck

in this little ball.

- Right.

- And I can't, you know,

cry about it anymore.

He was like my king.

He did everything for me,

he taught me everything I knew,

he knew that I was gay

before I knew I was gay.

He dragged me to school

every morning,

and the last thing

he would always say

before I left the car was,

"And don't let those kids

tell you anything different."

He's like, "I know

what they say about you.

You can do

whatever you want to do."

And...and that's what I'm doing.

- But Jujubee's

positive attitude

is positively infectious.

- I have the full package.

I have personality,

I have sense of style,

and I have great big,

white teeth.

- I thought she was dynamite.

She had a fantastic personality.

- I'm already happy

about just being here.

But if I win,

everybody gets a puppy.

- Our next finalist

is the other Tyra...

the beautiful, the gorgeous,

the alluring Tyra Sanchez.

- During my transformation,

when I start feeling like Tyra,

it's backstage,

putting on the makeup.

But it all comes into place

when I hear them say...

- Tyra Sanchez.

- Hear that crowd screaming.

And then once that music starts,

my heart stops for probably,

like, a split second.

And it starts beating again,

but it's not my heart

at that point.

It's Tyra's heart

that's beating.

- Tyra.

Ah.

- It's kind of Rita Hayworth.

- It's very Rita Hayworth.

Gilda.

- Yes, Gilda.

- Tyra had to overcome a lot

to achieve what she had.

- I grew up in probably, like,

every project in Orlando.

Like, at the end

of every school year

someone got shot or m*rder*d.

- And in real life,

this hot drag mama

is a young dad.

- I do have a son.

- Jeremiah.

Oh, that's the tattoo you have.

- Yeah.

My son makes me smile

every time I see him.

My son is my motivation

to keep going,

to make his life better.

- You know a family that

drags together stays together.

I would love to be

America's next drag superstar

to, like, inspire more people

to, like, let them know

that they can do it too.

- Raven is a Southern California

girl down to her roots.

- You guys need look no longer,

because the best queens

are in Southern California.

- Raven!

Oh, darling!

- I love doing drag

because I love

the transformation.

I love being able to transform

from a guy into a girl

and then at the end of the night

being able to take it off.

- Raven!

- I definitely do not want

to be a girl.

I love myself, who I am.

It is an art form.

- Now, Raven

landed in the bottom two

early in the competition...

Raven...

I'm sorry, but you're up

for elimination.

But proved she had the stuff

to make it to the final three.

- Why should you win

RuPaul's Drag Race?

- Well, first of all, I'm

Young, Broke, and Fabulous.

If I were to win

RuPaul's Drag Race,

it will help to show people

that drag's cool,

'cause it's f*cking cool.

Drag's cool.

- Well, there you have it,

the fabulous final three.

And if you've been groovin'

to any of my songs this season,

you can find them all

on my album Champion,

available on iTunes.

Or read my book Workin' It!

on sale everywhere.

Join me next week

for the grand finale

of RuPaul's Drag Race

to find out who will be crowned

America's next drag superstar.

But most importantly,

remember,

if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell are you gonna

buy my album and my book?

All right,

now let the music play.
