- To my Drag Race family here tonight

and the millions of you watching around the world,

welcome home, baby.

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

everybody is welcome.

There ain't no walls here to divide us.

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

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

Everybody say love!

- Love! - Love!

- Everybody say love!

- Love! - Love!

- Now drive that down Pennsylvania Avenue!

Get your ass outta here!

[cheers and applause]

Tonight we are gathered

in this gorgeous theater in downtown Los Angeles

to crown America's next drag superstar.

But I couldn't do it alone.

Say hello to my Judge Judys,

Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews and Michelle Visage.

[cheers and applause]

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

All: 10s! 10s! 10s across the board!

- Why y'all gagging?

She bring it to you every ball!

And, honey, it ain't over yet.

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

you've made Mama Ru very proud.

Are you bitches ready to lip sync for the crown?

[cheers and applause]

One by one, you'll battle.

And in the end, only one of you

will be crowned America's Next Drag Superstar.

But before we get started,

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

First up, turning looks, stunting pretty,

she's the bitch from New York City.

Take a look.

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

I'm here to prove to people

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

I went with Russia hooker urine.

[all laugh]

I can walk on this runway in a diaper

and they would eat me up.

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

- It is an iconic fashion moment.

- ♪ Turning looks, stunting pretty ♪

♪ I'm the bitch from New York City ♪

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, Aquaria.

- Hi, RuPaul. How are you?

- Now, you were never in the bottom two.

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

But I am not necessarily opposed to trying

or at least lip syncing.

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

for slaying these lip syncs tonight?

- I've definitely learned what the audiences like

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

And I think I've tickled your fancy

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

So I know how to impress you.

I know how to impress the audience,

and I'm definitely here to steal this show

and hopefully a check, so...

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

who is the toughest queen to take down tonight?

- Definitely, the toughest to take down

seems to be Asia O'Hara.

She has been doing this for...

she has been doing drag for nearly 46 years

or something like that approximately.

And that's not age-ist.

That's just knowing that she's proven herself

to be someone who is fierce freaking competition.

- So, now, Aquaria, tell me.

Who are Gina and David Palandrani?

- Not their government names.

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

They are my beautiful mother and father, so supportive.

- Whoo! Whoo-whoo!

- Now, I know you have a restaurant.

Do you serve Philly cheesesteaks at the restaurant?

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

- Oh, what do you call it?

- A cheesesteak. - Oh.

[audience laughs] - That's true.

- Mama Aquaria, a little birdie told me

that you have a history with one of our judges.

Actually, we have a photo

of your meeting with one of our judges.

There you are.

- It's all coming back to me.

- What was the event that you were at?

- Oh, "The Nutcracker."

- Was your Giovanni in "The Nutcracker?"

- Yes, he was The Nutcracker and--

- Oh! Giovanni was The Nutcracker?

- Yes, he was,

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

[audience laughs]

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

who have supported you

from being The Nutcracker to being a nut packer.

- [laughs]

- When we come back, more with Aquaria.

- ♪ Hey, kitty girl ♪

♪ Get your twirl ♪ - Aah!

- ♪ In the disco heat ♪

♪ You're the boogie body rockin' queen ♪

♪ Hey, kitty, kitty ♪

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

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

It's played such a role

in fostering a global message of inclusion

and accepting individuals

for just being their authentic selves.

And you and your show have made that happen

in a way bigger than anybody could imagine.

So congratulations to you all.

Thank you for letting us all to see

that we're all just humans in drag.

[cheers and applause] - Oh, my God.

Oprah! We love Oprah!

Oprah! [laughs]

Thank you, Oprah!

Okay, now we've got some fan questions.

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

First up is Jaymes Mansfield.

- Hi, Aquaria.

- Hey, shape shifter!

- Aquaria, Ari from New York says,

I loved your Melania in the Snatch Game.

How would you make America great again?

Like truly great and not just great for some?

- Facts are facts, America.

America's not great for all right now.

And for me, I think creating opportunity

for people to feel included,

whether it's within our own community

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

As Melania Trump once said, "Any hole is a goal."

[all laugh] And I think that--

That cannot only apply to something humorous,

but also creating opportunity and filling that opportunity.

[cheers and applause] Thank you.

- So what would it mean to you

to be crowned America's next drag superstar?

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

I remember catching Season 1.

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

but I see something about me in her.

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

And to go from that position

to literally being in the Final Four

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

[cheers and applause] Facts are facts.

- And, finally, Aquaria,

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

Any hole is a goal.

Give it up for Aquaria, everybody!

[cheers and applause]

Next, a queen who's both motherly

and one bad ass mama.

Let's take a look.

- Texas is back in the house.

My name is Asia O'Hara.

I'm known for doing pageants,

but I'm also a versatile performer.

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

[both laugh]

- Oh, my gosh!

Oh, I'm sorry.

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

I'm about to own this whole building!

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

- You betcha!

♪ Her name was etched in sorrow ♪

♪ But now it's blasted in lights ♪

♪ She is stars and stripes flying high ♪

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, Asia. How you doing?

- Good. How are you?

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

- Hopefully, the entire world,

but most importantly-- [cheers and applause]

But most importantly my drag daughter Kiley

and my lovely boyfriend Bret are here.

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

- A little over a year.

- So Mama Ru wants to know

what are your intentions for my child here?

[all laugh]

[cheers and applause]

- We're going to get married.

- You are gonna get married? [laughs]

Does he know about this?

- Well, he does now.

[all laugh]

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

Let's see. Oh, ladies and gentlemen,

it's Olympian Gus Kenworthy!

[cheers and applause]

You went to the Olympics!

- I did. - Wow!

- It's like a straighter,

not as fun sporty version of "Drag Race."

[both laugh]

Asia, Andre from Birmingham died

during your Buttrface challenge,

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

- Oh, my God.

- Hoo!

- No!

[all laugh]

Yes, I have been catfished.

Unfortunately, people love to catfish drag queens.

That is like a sport now. - Really?

- And luckily I didn't bite the bait,

but, yeah, I have been almost.

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

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

What you gonna do to tear these bitches down?

[cheers and applause]

- I'm not looking at this experience

as an opportunity to tear bitches down.

I'm looking at it as an opportunity to show

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

- Ooh, bitch! [laughs]

- There we go!

- Asia, your parents passed away several years ago.

And in case they're watching,

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

what would you say to them?

- Oh.

- Asia, we love you! - Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

I would say to my mom,

thank you for being a symbol of excellence

for how people should help other people down their roads.

And I would tell my father,

thank you for being such a great example

of what type of man I should be.

Because it was through dressing up like a woman

I learned how to be a man.

- All right.

[cheers and applause]

- Work! Work! Work!

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

and I think I owe you an apology

for allegedly slapping you this season.

- Yes.

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

[cheers and applause]

So go ahead, Asia. Slap the one person

who brought you to "Drag Race."

[audience laughs]

The one person who stands between you and $100.000.

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

- Um, maybe I jumped the gun.

Maybe I should wait and see how tonight plays out.

- Okay, sure.

[laughs]

Asia, all kidding aside,

thank you for reminding us that kindness is cool.

Give it up for Asia O'Hara!

[cheers and applause]

- ♪ No, you ain't no lady ♪

♪ Oh, oh-oh-oh ♪

♪ And you ain't nobody's baby, baby ♪

- ♪ Charisma ♪

♪ Uniqueness ♪

- RuPaul, Michelle Visage,

this is to congratulate you on your last 10 years.

It's brilliantly done,

and all I have to say is shantay you stay.

And Finty has to say to you...

- Good luck and don't fuck it up.

- [laughs] Wow!

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

And thank you both.

You know, when I think about it,

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

[audience laughs]

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

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

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

I got something to prove,

and I'm here to fucking slay.

- Alana was amazing.

- Your mama. We do drag to celebrate ourselves

in a political climate where right now,

none of us feel like we belong truly.

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

I was just like...

- ♪ Watch me smile and watch me slay ♪

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

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

♪ But if we come together, we can rise ♪

I'm the elephant queen!

What are you gonna be?

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, my goodness.

So tell me, Eureka,

what was it like watching yourself this season?

- Honey, the camera definitely adds 54 pounds.

- [laughs] - You know.

- So tell me this.

Who are you looking forward

to lip syncing against tonight?

- I'm looking forward

to lip syncing against all of them really

if it means I get the crown. - Okay.

And what would you do with $100.000?

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

and was put in debt because of that,

also with her medical condition.

So what I would like to do is

I would like to actually pay off all of those debts

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

[cheers and applause]

- Well, hello, Mama Eureka and Monique!

You're her twin sister? - Yes.

- And who's the more dominant twin?

- Obviously Eureka.

- [laughs]

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

- Yes.

- And you are gonna do it.

[cheers and applause]

- I love you, Mom.

- Thank you so much.

Okay, now time for some fan questions.

Let's say hello to Mariah Paris Bolenciaga!

[cheers and applause]

- All right, Miss Eureka,

us being two queens from the south,

we know we love our snacks.

We love to savor, devour,

and then there's just some to throw away.

That brings me to my question.

- [laughs] Wait! Wait!

That was... [laughs]

That was the leadup to the question?

[all laugh]

- So that brings me to our question.

Shag, marry, kill your top three fellow sisters.

- I would probably fuck Asia,

marry Kameron Michaels, 'cause she's quiet.

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

- Uh-huh. [all laugh]

- And I would kill Aquaria. Why not?

[cheers and applause]

- And finally, Eureka,

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

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

- I think it means

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

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

and as much positivity and joy as you can.

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

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

instead of worrying about what society and what media

and what our peers tells us we have to be.

We are so much more than that.

And we are family.

Treat each other like family.

- Thank you. And remember, Eureka,

you're never too much. You are everything.

- [laughs]

- Give it up for Eureka!

- Everything!

[cheers and applause]

- Next, a silent but deadly queen

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

Take a look.

- I'm Kameron Michaels,

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

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

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

and walk out looking fishy as fuck.

I like to think I'm silent but deadly,

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

♪ Born in Cali, mama named me Cherilyn ♪

- You set the bar very, very high.

- I did not think you could lip sync

the way that you lip sync, bitch.

You can turn the party.

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

♪ But I found my sound ♪

[cheers and applause]

- Kameron Michaels!

Now, all season long, you were underestimated,

and, bitch, look at your ass now.

- I'm here! - Yes!

[cheers and applause]

You lip synced four times.

Not many girls can pass three.

What's your secret to the perfect lip sync?

- First and foremost, we are entertainers.

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

- Mm-hmm. Yes.

Now, before "Cher, the Rusical,"

you failed to mention

that you actually do Cher in your nightclub act.

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

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

or a shady queen?

- That may have been a little more shady.

- Yes. [laughs]

Now, Kameron, get ready,

because we have some fan questions for you.

- Perfect.

- BeBe Zahara Benet!

- Hi, delta cutie. - Hi, beautiful.

- Jesse from Seattle wants to know

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

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

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

I don't have time!

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

I'm not giving that hour or 30 minutes

or however long it takes to anyone!

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

- Here supporting me tonight

is one of my very best friends for over a decade

who did about three-fourths of the stuff

that you saw on the show.

And his name is Ryan.

- Hi, Ryan. - Hi.

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

- Hello, Mother Michaels.

- Hi, Ru.

- When Kameron's in drag,

what family member does Kameron look like?

- Me. - Oh, okay.

Now, you guys share clothing? - We do.

- And you have the same shoe size?

- Yes, we do. - How is that?

Girl, you must have some big ass feet.

- I do, I do.

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

and thanks to you,

we've been attracting a whole new demographic.

Take a look.

- Hello, Dane. This is grandma.

I saw you on "Drag Race,"

and I am very, very shocked at the talent

and what you have accomplished.

And I am so proud of you.

And I love you dearly, and I always will.

- Oh, wow!

Gorgeous.

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

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

Coming from a really religious background and family,

I was very worried what she would think of me

and how she would react when she found out.

So to see that and know that she still loves me

and supports me no matter what is really amazing.

- See? I'm gonna say it again.

"RuPaul's Drag Race,"

still bringing families together after all these years.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Kameron Michaels.

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

Tonight we celebrate 10 wonderful years

of tears, triumphs and tongue pops.

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

I can't remember any of it!

So with the help of super fan Sally Jesse Raphael,

let's turn back time.

- The year was 2008.

Nine queens sashayed into a little TV studio.

- It is my pleasure

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

- Where they experienced some very harsh lighting.

Little did they know

that they would be changing herstory forever.

Soon change was in the air.

- All our equal, all are free.

- And we celebrated the art of drag.

- These girls are given production values.

- Okay.

- With sickening challenges.

- Baloney! - That made us laugh...

- Get those nuts away from my face.

- H-h-ham!

- Change. - Gag...

- [gags] - Oh!

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

- I'm going home.

- What's going on here?

- And cry.

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

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

when I was three.

- We are a family here.

- Always served with a deep sense of love.

- [gasps] Uh!

- Soon the secret was out.

- Say hello to Christina Aguilera.

- ♪ Oh ♪

- Mother Monster has arrived.

- Yes, Gaga! [cheering]

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

- Okur?

- And an international phenomenon.

- So they are supposed to hire y'all hookers

to seduce the gays?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Growing up, I never could have dreamed

that this day would come.

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

- Congrats!

- Drag queens became superstars.

- Hello. This is what makes me money.

This is what people hire to see.

- It even started a whole new economy.

- Drag Con L.A. 2018!

[cheering]

- And, honey, we are just getting started.

10 years later,

instead of focusing on the things that divide us,

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

- The night that Donald Trump was elected president,

I watched five back-to-back episodes

of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

- Bob the Drag Queen for president.

- I was basically watching the version of America

that I wanted to live in rather than watching the one

that was unfolding in front of history.

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

- Everybody say love!

- Love! - Love!

- To take over the mothertucking world...

- We will always be here,

and we have always been here.

- One death drop at a time.

[screams and cheers]

[cheers and applause]

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

I have an extra special treat for you all.

For the first time in "Drag Race" herstory,

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

Please welcome to the stage

the queens of Season 1 versus the queens of Season 10

in a lip sync eleganza extravaganza!

Hit it!

Welcome back, ladies.

You've waited all season for this moment.

But first, to explain

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

here's our very own Carson Kressley.

- Thank you, RuPaul.

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

- Bigger!

- Louder. - Louder!

- Queenier than ever. - Queenier!

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

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

will face off in lip sync number one.

Then the remaining two glamazons fight to the death

in lip sync number two!

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

camel toe-to-camel toe,

for the final lip sync for the crown!

Ru, this is going to be epic!

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

Anyway, back to you, Ru.

- [laughs]

Thank you, Carson.

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

Sit down. Sit down.

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

Wherever the wheel stops

will determine which queen lip syncs first.

Ladies, are you ready?

- Yes. - Yes, ma'am.

- All right, here we go.

I'm so glad I stretched.

[all laugh]

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

All right, the wheel has spoken.

Kameron Michaels, you will be competing

in tonight's first lip sync for the crown.

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

in this first round.

Who do you choose?

- I didn't want to do this!

Um...

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

[cheers and applause]

- All right.

That means Aquaria, Eureka,

you two will face off

in tonight's second lip sync coming up next.

You may leave the stage.

[cheers and applause]

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

Oh, pit crew?

[cheers and applause]

Each of these boxes

contains one of my favorite Janet Jackson lip sync songs.

[cheers and applause]

Asia O'Hara, are you ready to pick?

- Absolutely. - Good.

Do you choose box number one or box number two?

- Always number one.

- Jason, open your box.

"Nasty" by Janet Jackson!

Oh, bitch, this is gonna be good.

Okay, ladies, assume the position.

[cheers and applause]

Two queens stand behind me.

[audience laughs]

Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

and save yourself from elimination.

The time has come... [thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] for the crown.

[cheers and applause]

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

The online election

to determine this year's Miss Congeniality

was made null and void due to outside interference.

[audience laughs]

But unlike those other shady elections,

we're doing something about it.

[cheers and applause]

We decided to have Season 10 queens vote

and decide which queen they want to be Miss Congeniality.

- Work. - Yes.

And here to announce the results of that vote

from the Werq the World Tour,

last year's winner, Valentina.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello, Ru. Hello, everybody!

Buenas tardes from Berlin!

- Hi!

- Hi, Ru. I wanted to thank you for changing my life.

for voting me your Miss Congeniality.

[cheers and applause]

And last but not least,

I would like to thank Aja for naming me fan favorite.

[cheers and applause]

Oh-ho, but enough about me, Valentina.

[cheering]

The winner of Miss Congeniality is...

[drum roll]

Monet X Change!

[cheers and applause]

- Shut up!

Me?

No way!

Yes!

Thank you, Ru!

Mwah, mwah.

Yes!

Whoo! This is nice!

Yes!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, I love this!

- Now, Monet, is there anything you'd like to say?

- Soak it up, bitches!

[cheers and applause]
