RuPaul: Previously
on RuPaul's Drag Race...

You'll be performing
you own one-drag-queen show.

-Oh.
-Oh.

[Iranian accent]
What is this?

[all laugh]

Get a little bit of this,

a little of that.

[all laugh]

[gasps] How dare you talk
about my potato salad.

Dumbass.

Jaida Essence Hall.

I thought
you kind of gave up.

Ooh, y'all are not feeling it.

You know, if it doesn't work,
fuck it, try something else.

RuPaul: Heidi Afrodite.

You've got to make sure

those characters
are so differentiated.

RuPaul: Crystal Methyd.

It was just all so stupid.

[all laugh]

Con-drag-ulations. You're the
winner of this week's challenge.

[cheers and applause]

Jaida Essence Hall,
shantay you stay.

Thank you.

My dear Heidi,
sashay away.

[applause]

This is a bittersweet moment
for me right now.

I had to send
my sister Heidi home.

But I'm glad that I'm here

and it's not
the other way around.

I'm gonna read it
in my best Ramseur.

"Remember to say
[whistling] soft and supple.

[all laugh]

Love, Heidi Something."

-Aw.
-Heidi.

I feel really weird

having to be the person
to send her home

and then realize
that she will not be here,

It's just a lot
because I love Heidi.

Like, I gave her
a lot of shit,

but that's like
my little sister,

like, especially going forward

and, like, to have
to be the person--

-Oh!
-Oh, my God.

-Huh?
-What?

Okay.

What the fuck just happened?

Why the fuck
are we in the dark right now?

-Okay.
-All right.subtitle

Before Jaida even gets
the chance to spray that bottle,

the ghost of Heidi N Closet
says, "No, bitch.

I'm turning the lights off."

Spooky in here.

-Boo.
-Boo.

Heidi does not
want to erased.

Oh, my gosh, TV magic.

So we're just gonna go
to the Untucked lounge

until the lights come back on.

Ooh, child.

So, Jaida, how do you feel?

Um, I feel really weird.

It's a lot.

I've never met someone

who has such a personality

that you can just
feel it in the room.

And I'm just
so blown away by her.

Heidi worked so hard
in this competition

and with fewer resources
than any of us had,

and we all
fell in love with her.

So it's sad to see her go.

And you, girl, first safe.
How do you feel?

Yeah, look, I mean,
you guys all saw me

go through it yesterday.

I'm feeling so grateful

that everything shook out the
way
it did with the challenge.

But all these other girls
have a maxi challenge win,

and I don't have one.

All right, I will now
officially take the title

of Susan Lucci of Season 12
from Miss Crystal.

[cheering]
Oh, my gosh, finally.

I did it!

We're on the home stretch and
I'm feeling pretty confident,

and I can taste the top four.

And now it's like, uhh.

I just need it really bad.

It's so weird, like, I started
in the top and ended here.

And now you started
in the bottom and ended here.

Ru said that we were
the strongest top six ever,

and now
there's only five of us.

We are one step away
from top four

and the finale.

Oh. Oh, my God.

This is a fierce group
of competitors,

and so it's not gonna be easy
to make it to the top four

and grab my fucking crown.

Well, my feet hurt, bitch.

Yeah, let's go ask
for some candles

and undress in the dark.

Let's have a seance.

Look, at this point,

nobody wants to make it
all the way to the finish line

and right before
you step over it, fall down.

I am one step away
from making the top four.

I'm not trying
to fuck this up.

Witches are just
strong, powerful women.

-Just like us.
-Just like us.

Oh...

Hi.

I got the baby Geeg.

It's our last week
in the werkroom,

and, my God, it has been
quite the roller coaster.

The power's back on, honey,

so we can get this shindig gone.

During the one-drag-queen show
challenge,

I got in my head,

but self doubt
is a huge waste of time.

I'm moving past it,
and I'm gonna move forward.

I wanna be in the top.

I'm gonna fucking slay
this next challenge.

[alarm]

-Yes, ma'am.
-Mother is calling us.

RuPaul: Ooh, girl.

She done already

-Hey, showgirls.
-Hi-ee.

Welcome to the winner's circle.

It's time to shake the dice

Yes.

Con-drag-ulations.

[cheers and applause]

Ladies, this week,
in addition to scrutinizing

your charisma, uniqueness,
nerve, and, ahem, talent,

we're celebrating
RuPaul's Drag Race Live,

an all-singing, all-dancing,

all-lip syncing show

that's wowing audiences
at Flamingo Las Vegas

on the Las Vegas Strip.

#DragRace.

So for today's mini challenge,
you need to design

an over-the-top,
one-of-a-kind showgirl headdress

that screams Viva Drag Vegas.

Yes, bitch.

♪ Oh, Pit Crew ♪

[cheers and applause]

Howdy.

Ladies, you've got 30 minutes

to create your headdresses

and get into
quick showgirl drag.

-Oh.
-Okay.

Go!

-All these girls are scrambling.
-Ooh!

There are feathers flying,
beads on the floor.

I wanna look like a flamingo.

Too late.

RuPaul: Ladies, time is up.

Oh, fudge.

Time to go to Vegas, ladies.

Aah!

Viva Drag Vegas.

First up, we've got
Jaida Essence Hall,

but on the Vegas strip,
they call her Toffee.

She prefers costumes
made out of hopes and dreams

so she can crush them
after the show.

Her show is called Huh?

because she's known
for her confusion.

Why the fuck am I here?

[laughs]

Up next, Gigi Goode.

Her mother was a showgirl

back in her hometown
of Glitter Rock.

When she's not onstage
hyperventilating,

you can find her cliff diving
at Hoover Dam.

Ooh! [laughs]

Up next, Sherry Pie.

She doesn't accept cash tips.

She prefers canned goods.check

Instead of stoning her tights,

she covers them
with googlie eyes.

These are not mine.

This is Crystal Methyd,

but on the Las Vegas strip,

they call her Slut.

She's known
for doing the dump. [laughs]

Yeah. Let's see you
do the banana dance.

Yeah. Uh-huh.

I forgot the rest.

[laughs]

This is Jackie Cox,

but after midnight,
they call her Fuzzy Box.

Her show is called
Workin' My Merkin

because she's known
for her full bush.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

Jackie is meeping?

She, like, meew, err.

Mmm...

And it's making me
really uncomfortable.

Thank you, Fuzzy Box.

Mmm...

Wow. You are all lucky ladies,

but one of you
really hit the jackpot.

The winner
of today's mini challenge is...

Gigi Goode.

Ooh!
[applause]

Con-drag-ulations.

You've won a trip for two
to Las Vegas,

including airfare,
accommodations,

and tickets to see
RuPaul's Drag Race Live

at Flamingo Las Vegas.

[cheers and applause]

Yes! Oh, my God.

That's fucking fun.

I'm gonna bring my mom.
We're gonna have a ball.

Now, ladies,
for this week's maxi challenge,

you'll be performing a medley
of original songs

from the critically acclaimed
RuPaul's Drag Race Live.

[cheers and applause]

The medley includes
a big opening number.

-Oh.
-Oh.

A heartfelt first act closer,

and the spectacular
disco finale.

[all laugh]

First, you'll record your vocals

with RuPaul's Drag Race Live
composer Leland.

-Yes.
-Yes.

And then your own
original rap verse.

Okay.

All right.

Then you'll be working

with RuPaul's Drag Race Live
director Jamal Sims.

[cheering]

Some of my very best queens

are currently starring
in this show,

so you've got
some big shoes to fill,

and I do mean big shoes.

Ladies, you've worked
so hard to get here,

but don't stop now,

because one of you
will be going home tonight.

This challenge is so important

because it decides who
will make it to the top four.

I am so close,
I've worked so hard,

and I really want
to make it to the finale.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win!end
act

For today's
final maxi challenge,

we have to perform
in a dancing, lip syncing,

Las Vegas-inspired stage show.

♪ Losin' is the new winnin' ♪

For this challenge,

we have to write and record
an original rap verse

for the song
Losing is the New Winning.

Losing is
the New Winning?

So I'm on top!

Look, last season,
the winner had only one win.

So if I win this challenge,
there's nothing stopping me

from making it all the way
to the top four

and all the way to the win.

I just wanna make sure
that I'm, like,

writing something
that's, like, really cute,

and, like, a good vibe.

The hardest part
about writing the lyrics

is writing the damn lyrics.

Baby, it's a struggle.

Do, like, any of you feel like

you have an advantage
in this situation

because you already
did a rap challenge?

That song
was completely different

than what we're
rapping to here.

-This is no Nicki Minaj.
-Yeah, this is not like Nicki.

It was just you can't fuck
with me, I'm that bitch.

So now I just kind of
wanna show the judges

kind of a more vulnerable side,
I guess.

Ru rap? [laughs]

I know I had to write and rap
in the first week,

but I wanna take it
the opposite direction.

So I think I'm gonna surprise
the judges a little bit.

What are you thinking
for your lyrics?

Um, I don't know.

I have a couple of ideas,

but I don't know
if it's matching up

to how the beat
of the song goes.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I think first and foremost,

you should not be focusing
on the beat on the song.

You should be focusing on the
content that you're gonna fill.

Hold on to your last win.

Uh. Okay.

Don't stress.

I think Crystal
is feeling much more confident

than she was at the beginning
of the competition.

But Crystal's biggest weakness
is the demons in her head.

She's just got these voices
telling her she can't.

I just don't want that
to get in the way

of her doing well
in this challenge.

I so badly want her
to be in the top four with me.

Oh, God. Emotions suck.

Crystal, how you feeling?

You ready to let
your inner Beastie Boy out?

I'm trying to figure out

how to, like, really
put myself into the rap,

and I can't really think
of the words.

Glitter. [laughs]

How do I rhyme?

-Quitter.
-Quitter.

You're not a quitter.
Write that down.

I don't think anyone
with my rap style

would be a rapper.

I never thought
you'd be a stripper either,

but here we are.

Excuse me. Exotic dancer.

Exotic dancer, yeah.
Don't cheapen it.

[all laugh]

-Hi!
-Hey.

-Welcome.
-Howdy-Doody.

Come on. Yes.

It's time for our recording
session with Leland and Freddy.

I think standing out
in this challenge

is gonna be
the hardest thing to do,

so I'm nervous to see what
these other bitches bring out.

We have created something
that has power ballads

and show-stopping moments
and a big finale.

-Yes!
-Yes!

So I think we will start
with Gigi Goode.

Take your spot.

I'm really excited
to show the judges

a way of performing as Gigi,

because the last time
I won a musical challenge,

it was Gigi as Madonna.

Here we go.

♪ And she's got shit to do ♪

♪ No time to doubt myself ♪

♪ Gotta put that on the shelf ♪

So I can see you
strutting down the runway

while you're saying this,

but your energy
on that opening line

is a three out of 10.

And I want to hear
what a 10 out of 10 sounds like.

All right,
buckle your seatbelts.

Let's try it.

♪ No time to doubt myself ♪

♪ Gotta put that on the shelf ♪

Oh, fuck.

I was trying to do it,

and then it just, like,
snapped too quick.

Give me a strong, wet kiss.

[kisses]

Oh, that's hard.

Leland really wants Gigi

to master this sexy kiss
at the end.

I can't do it. [kisses]

It sounds like a squeegee.

I think one of your strengths
on that pitch

was your theatricality.

Okay.

So we want you to bring
that energy to this.

Your lyrics say,
"I'm stealing the show,"

so we need you
to steal the show.

All right, Jackie,
I wanna see everything

that makes up Jackie Cox
in this rap.

-Let's do it, boys.
-Let's do it.

Aah! ♪ I'm Jackie Cox,
can't fit me in a box ♪

♪ But rub my lamp,
I'll give you camp ♪

♪ I'll be working on my merkin
as I'm turning up the amp ♪

It's really fun.
The lyric is really great.

The flow is what
I wanna focus on.

Give me different moments
of your personality,

you know what I mean?
Throughout each line,

so that we go along this journey
of this rap with you,

and we don't get bored.

I have to really let go

of that perfectionist side
of myself.

Letting it all out

is the only way I'm gonna
stand out in this group.

All right, I'm gonna level up.

[all laugh]

-Let's level up!
-Bitch.

♪ You can rub my lamp,
I'll give you camp ♪

♪ I'll be working on my merkin
as I'm turning up the amp ♪

That was so much better.

I loved the flow.

Initially, I was like, she's not
believing those lines just yet.

So now I believe you.

Yay!

♪ Draw on a big smile,

♪ Let your hair down ♪

♪ Swing it around ♪

[all laugh]
Great, yeah.

Yeah, you said it.

I think you've given yourself

some opportunities in here
to make moments,

but you're not capitalizing
on them yet.

-You're right.
-So let's grab it again.

And I want you to kick
the energy up 50%.

Hold on. Let me get...

-Get comfortable?
-Yeah.

-Oh!
-Oh!

Let's give them a show.

-Wow.
-Let's win a Tony.

So that was...
something.

Thank you, yeah.

Every time you do it,
it's gonna get better.

Even if her voice cracks,

even if her voice shakes,

it's more about confidence,

and it's more about
just killing that take.

No, "so" keeps going up, Jaida.

y'all know I'm not a singer.

I'm gonna rap this rap.

Okay, I'm sorry.

My rap style
is Old Mother Hubbard.

That's it.
There ain't much rap in there.

I wish I could flow like Cardi B
or somebody, but, baby...

Rrrr, rrrr, rrrr.

That's not my T...

as I'm learning.

♪ Trust yourself, bitch,
let go of shade ♪

Shade? Oh, shame.

That was supposed to "shame."
I'm sorry.

Keep going no matter what,

because if we don't have
enough takes

of you doing those last lines,

then you're gonna be performing
to a messed-up take.

I think Jaida is trying
to be someone she isn't.

The second that she cues on
to her own originality,

that's when she'll jump out.

I need you to feel fierce
as fuck and just go.

them know your name ♪

Look over there,

that I'm bombing right now.

It sounded much better
in my head.end act

Knock-knock.

-Oh!
-We're back!

-We missed you, Jamal.
-I missed you, too!

It's finally time for us
to put together the choreography

for our Las Vegas-inspired show.

We worked with Jamal
in the Madonna Ru-sical.

That choreography
was not easy. Ugh!

So I'm a little petrified,

mostly excited,
slightly constipated.

Final five! Drag Race Live.

Oh, my God.

The Vegas Ru-sical.

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

I'm looking
for a showgirl vibe,

because we have to represent.

Yes.

The stakes are very high.

So are you guys ready to go?

-Let's do it!
-Yes.

-Let's do it.
-All right, let's rock.

We're just gonna go one, two,
right across your eyes.

Kind of Showgirls.

And then I'm gonna go
three, four.

One, two,
Saturday Night Fever.

It's gotta be sharp.
Bam, bam, okay?

Really focus on being sharp.

Let's go again.
Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, roll, seven, eight.

We're like... [panting].

One, two, three, four.

You know, like, it's
becoming a lot very quick.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Fell apart at the end.
You fell apart.

Y'all are the top five.

Y'all gotta bring the heat.

We're gonna go into
our individual parts,

and we're gonna start
with Jackie.

I was in the bottom
for the Madonna Ru-sical,

so I need to show Jamal
that I have what it takes.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

All right, come on, jiggle.

Sorry, a little wiggle
with it, huh?

Yeah, I saw that jiggle.
All right, here we go.

From here, we scoot.

Five, six, seven, eight.

-Stir it up.
-A little Motown.

Stir it up, shake it,
stir it up, shake it.

Hey! Hey!

Come on, now!
All right.

I don't know if I look sexy.

We're gonna get to sexy.

Right now, those are the moves.

We'll get the sexy in it,
all right?

Six, seven, eight, and shake it,
shake it, shake it.

And scoop it and scoop it.

All right, let's go
again.subtitle

Jackie is dancing.

It's a little--she's
giving me a little daddy tease.

Shake it, shake it.

Hopefully she smoothes it out,
but right now...

it's interesting.

What I need you to work on is
putting the sexy in it, right?

So we need the sexy
and the sauce.

-Okay.
-All right?

Next victim, Crystal.

I'm a little bit nervous,

but I know that I just
really have to give it my all

from the beginning,
and stay confident

even if I don't understand
what Jamal's body is doing.

You're gonna go uh, uh, ha, ha.

Boom, boom, smack, uh.

-Ugh.
-Let's get it.

One, two, three.

Ugh. [laughs]

-You okay?
-Yeah.

I am an amazing dancer.

-Very talented.
-Let's get it.

Crystal's doing this thing where
anytime she doubts herself,

she just says,
"I'm amazing, I'm so talented."

As funny as it is
to hear her say that,

that's what you have to do.

If you're putting that out
into the universe,

the universe is gonna listen.

One, two, three, four.

It's a gallop.

Giddy-up, hey!
Giddy-up, hey!

Giddy-up, hey! Giddy-up, hey!

Giddy--come on, now.

There it is, Crystal.

[laughs]

That's what I got for you.

-That's it?
-Yeah. Oh, "That's it?" Okay.

-That's it?
-[laughs]

All right, what's happening?

Yours starts
with a slo-mo run.

Run and run.

Right? Yes.

So, five, six.

-One, two, three, four. Right?
-Okay.

Gigi looks like one of the kids
from Stranger Things.

One, two, three, four.

Oh, fuck.

She just looks like
this little, tiny, nerdy boy.

Gigi, don't be coming
for my nerdy gig.

That's my thing.

-Relax just a little bit.
-Okay.

Right now, it's real tight.

I want it to feel fun, okay?

This is right, but I want it
to feel like this and that.

Boom and ha. Yeah, ha.

Dee, dee, ha, da.

And su-wah.

-There you go!
-Okay.

-Just bring the sexy.
-[laughs] Okay.

All right,
thank you very much.

-Thank you, thank you.
-All right.

I know I'll be able
to deliver sexy.

Um, I just hope Jackie can.

Jaida.

Yes.

Jaida don't get no greater.

You said that.

I didn't.

[all laugh]
Your first step.

-One, two, three, four.
-Okay.

Don't pick your foot up
from the ground.

-It's just ah, ah.
-Just nail it.

Boom, boom. Ah, ah.

When I tell you,
when you walk,

there's this level of confidence
that you have.

-It sells it, right?
-Mm-hmm.

So take that, put it into the
first part of the choreography.

I've been working really hard
on learning how to walk

since I was a baby.

[all laugh]
Jaida.

This is where we need to put it,
right here, okay?

Choreography ain't my thing.

I like to dance on my own
to the rhythm of my own beat.

Oh, my goodness.

But the choreo was real cute,

and I'm like, okay,
this is gonna be cute.

We gonna turn it.
We gonna make it work.

Six, seven.
You can do it.

Go, bam, bam, bam, bam.

And five, six,
go, seven and eight.

Dig, one, two and three.

-Yes, right?
-Yes.

Ladies, I wanna say that

there's something about what
Jaida's presenting right now,

that vibe, that I think
everybody should look at.

I'm not surprised
that Jamal likes the way

that Jaida's executing
these dance moves

better than the rest of us,

because the rest of us dance
like we're at a bar mitzvah.

All right, so everybody
has their strengths

and their weaknesses in this.

What I'm seeing right now--
Well, not everybody,

but everybody
has to have confidence.

If you don't, it's gonna show
from the very top.

The moves should look like

they come from you
individually, okay?

Not me.

Good luck,
and I'll see you guys later.

-Thank you, Jamal.
-Thank you.

Right now, I don't think anyone
is 100% confident

that they're gonna make it
to the top four.

Let's go, ladies.

We're all so different,

if anyone slips up,
you're out and going home.end
act

It's our last day!

Last day!

From Micky's!

Today is our last day
in the werkroom,

and we are about to perform
our last maxi challenge

in front of the judges.

Thank you,
Micky's West Hollywood.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Salamati.

Me and my sisters are just
having a little toast,

and, you know, it's just so nice

to be able to have
this moment with them

before I knock them all
on their asses

in the final maxi challenge.

You guys, this is the last time
we're getting ready together.

-I can't believe it.
-I know.

Finally.

-Finally.
-It's kind of bittersweet,

but, baby, I'm ready
to do what a man can do,

and just make this magic happen
on this runway

and in this werkroom
for the very last time.

Let's do it.

-We got a lot to do.
-Let's get ready!

Okay, I'm bringing my cocktail
on the road.

I'm taking my cocktail
with me, honey.

We have a lot of work to do,
darling.

We're in the home stretch,
and it just doesn't feel real.

I have really grown close
with these girls,

and it's gonna be weird
that one of us is going home

and not gonna make it
to the top.

Do we all feel ready
and good and happy

and satisfied
about the challenge?

I'm excited for this Ru-sical.

I'm feeling pretty confident,

but I just really have to sell
the performance this time.

Because just landing the steps

is not gonna be enough
to save me.

I really need
to stand out from the pack.

I'm really excited to bring
this Ru-sical to life

with the lights
and the costumes.

And the dancers!

We are singing stars.

I think you're gonna see

a little bit of a sexier side
of Jackie in this performance.

I'm not joking you.
I'm fucking sexy in this.

This has been a long journey,
though, like, so crazy.

Over the course
of the competition,

I've grown in a lot of ways.

It pushes you to be
a better entertainer.

And, like,
coming off of this, baby,

she's gonna be like
Wonder Woman times 10.

I'm ready for it.

So, like, of all the girls
that are left,

like, what was your first
impression of each girl?

Oh, boy. [laughs]

I guess, like, I really
got my impression of Jackie

when we got out onto
the Spring and Fall runway,

and I was like, "Oh,
she's another fashion girl."

But she has since
changed my mind on that.

[all laugh]

-Catch a bitch!
-Oh, no, honey.

My impressions of Gigi,

I was a little confused
by the pirate outfit.

I was like, oh, is this, like,
the costume, campy queen?

Costume?

This is a look.

Easy Miss Cox,
if you're naughty.

Then we went right into
that Spring and Fall runway,

and I was like oh, shit,
this girl, like, has it.

Jaida: This is
my fashion competition.

Jaida, I just was instantly,

like, oh, God, another
pretty girl to fight with.

[laughs] "To fight with."

And we've painted
next to each other ever since.

-I know.
-I kind of remember Jaida,

but it wasn't until really
the improv challenge

that I, like, really, like,
actually looked at Jaida,

-like, up close.
-Interesting.

And I was like, damn,
this girl can paint.

At the improv challenge?

When I was painted as an apple?

You, like, painted
a beautiful, like, sad apple.

What? No!
[all laugh]

Say what?

That's a little strange,
but okay.

Who do y'all think
has changed the most?

-You.
-Bitch, obviously.

Crystal Methyd.

Your attitude's
completely changed.

That, like, first few weeks,

like, I was, like, girl,
she's not gonna make it.

She's just, doesn't
have the, like, fortitude

to, like, actually deal with
what this competition takes.

You are so talented, it's crazy.

And, like, it's good to see you
when you are in a good space.

But you just have to remember

to always know that
that's who you are all the time.

-Yeah.
-You still that bitch, bitch.

-[laughs]
-Bitch.

I have grown so much
and pushed myself so hard,

and making it this far and not
making it to the top four,

my heart just, like, sinks
when I think about it.

Do you guys think, like,

report cards
are gonna come into play?

I think they're gonna have to.

I mean,
just from what I've seen,

this Ru-sical
is going to be really good.

I think it's gonna be a
Madonna: The Ru-sical situation

in that we're all doing
a really great job,

and it's gonna probably
come down to report cards.

Well in that case,
Crystal and I are fucked.

Hey, don't say that.

We have the lowest report cards.

No, no, no, no, no.

I've shown that I'm
ever-changing and ever-growing.

I've been in the top five times.
No wins.

I mean, I'd like to win
this challenge

so I can go to the top four
with a win.

What matters the most

is that
I've lifted myself back up.

That's what America's next
drag superstar needs to embody.

I've picked myself back up,

and I'm gonna take myself
to the top.

Me and Jaida so far I think
are tied for highest winnings,

and then it's Sherry,
and then Crystal and Jackie.

So, Jackie, it was so nice
getting to know you.

Look, there's nothing wrong with
an underdog pulling through.

I don't care if I don't have
a main challenge win.

I'm taking
one of you bitches out.

Well, bitches, it's almost time.

Who's ready for their
Vegas fantasy and shit? Ooh!

I've never been more excited.

Eleganza Extravaganza.

First up, Crystal Methyd.

-Oh.
-Ooh!

Carson: It's like Gloria Swanson
and a Smurf had a baby.

[all laugh]

Crystal:
My Eleganza Extravaganza look

is futuristic.

I feel like a space princess.

I'm all velvet blue.

It's sparkly, it's goofy,
it's weirdly shaped.

This is how I do glamour.

I'm feeling super confident
and super happy.

Each week on the runway,

I transform into something
totally different.

I think that
what I bring to the table

is such a unique perspective
of drag.

RuPaul: Come on, Ruche.

[all laugh]

Ross: I cream of Jeannie.

I'd love to rub her
the right way.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Gigi Goode. Ooh!

Michelle: Guys, you'd better
brace yourself for this one.

This outfit
is the molar opposite

of what she's worn before.

[all laugh]

Hey, Gigi,
how's your head...gear?

[all laugh]

Gigi: My look is that,
like, dweeby, nerdy girl

at the eighties prom that
nobody wants to dance with.

This girl has got headgear on,

and no one can see
the beauty behind it.

Big lapels and a bowtie
and covered in ruffles,

this look encompasses
everything that Gigi Goode is.

She is pure fashion,
pure shape, pure camp.

This look is everything
a drag queen should be.

Carson: This is from Dental
& Gabbana, I believe.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: This is not
RuPaul's Best Friends Brace.

[all laugh]

Jackie Cox.
Poof, there it is.

Ross: She looks great.
She blue out her hair.

[all laugh]

RuPaul:
I spotted her a mile away.

Jackie: I am serving you
the sweet girl next door

with a little bit of sass.

A Christian Dior-inspired
silhouette,

but done up
in Andy Warhol colors.

I'm gonna show the judges that
I didn't come here to give up.

Just because
you end up in the bottom

doesn't mean you can't
rise back up to the top,

and I'm ready to show them
in the finale

that I need that crown.

Michelle:
This outfit just bows me over.

Carson:
Wrap it up, I'll take it.

RuPaul: Uh-huh.

Michelle: I think she stars
in a wrap video.

They call her "Dotty."

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Dot's all, folks.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: I hope y'all left room
for Sherry Pie.

Well, hello, Sherry.

Why don't you come up
and pluck me sometime?

Sherry: For my final look,

I really wanted to bring
a classic fantasy to life.

It is Mae West of 2020, honey.

I am covered in feathers.

I bring drag not only forward,

but I also
don't want us to forget

all of the amazing references
and people.

So I am here representing

for all those campy
vaudeville girls.

Carson: Marabou Barbie.

Ross: That's an umbrella
for a fella.

RuPaul: Umbrella?
I don't even know her!

[all laugh]

Jaida Essence Hall. Ooh!

Jamal:
She's coming to America.

[all laugh]

Jaida:
This dress is my brand.

This dress is classic Jaida.

It fits me perfectly.

I look like a goddess,
I feel strong.

I feel confident,
I feel really accomplished,

because this competition
is all about making sure

that you can persevere
throughout anything

and any challenge,
and I've done that.

I've worked my ass off,

and I'm not
gonna slow down now.

I just wanna make sure
that the judges understand

that I am Jaida Essence Hall,

the essence of America's
next drag superstar.

Carson:
That's a golden tower.

RuPaul: Yes.

Jamal: Solid gold.

Michelle: That does say yes.

Ross: It took her all season,
but finally, she looks great.

[all laugh]end act

Welcome, ladies.

For the final time this season,

it's time
for the judges' critiques.

First up, Crystal Methyd.

Hi!

Let me say this
to everybody.

You all are not gonna make it
easy on us, are you?

-No.
-No.

That was so good.

Each and every one of you,
well done.

Okay, Crystal.

In the challenge today,
you were breathtaking.

I thought your lyrics
were really fun.

You said "let your hair down
and swing it all around."

[all laugh]

As soon as you
come out on stage,

I'm like, "Crystal is in it."

The lift, you did it,

and it didn't look like
there was any fear.

The final part of it was not
my favorite color combination.

The orange fringe dress

with the green belt
and the blue hair

kind of threw me off.

But this runway look,

not many queens
could pull this off

and have me say, oh, I love this
asymmetrical, puffy-legged,

high-waisted,
ruched, blue velvet,

double-necklace, turban,
blue makeup number.

But somehow, I'm gonna say
that I love it.

You kind of crystallized
into a real professional.

You have had such a trajectory,

and it's been
really a treat to watch.

You're such a crazy nut.

[all laugh]
Yes.

I'm such a big fan of yours.

You've done such a great job
in this competition

of taking the tornado
of creativity inside you

and fine-tuning it
to a really beautiful place.

I'm really proud of you,

because you've shown us
who you are in this competition,

and that's the most important
thing you can do.

Thank you.

Up next, Gigi Goode.

You're such a great actor
and such a great singer.

I mean,
the quality of your voice,

you had, like, you know,
big, belty notes

that were pretty impressive.

Thank you.

And your timing
was really great.

You're so talented,
and you were on fire.

It was everything that
I pictured that it could be,

and I loved working with you.

Then whilst you know I'm not
a big fan of the chaps,

your performance was wonderful.

You slid across the floor,
I was like, yes!

I had to do a double take.

All my chins were like
wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh?

[all laugh]

Because suddenly,

you turned into
a filthy pop star.

[all laugh]

Tonight on the runway,

I think
this is just really smart

and still really fashionable,

and you look gorgeous,
yet quirky.

You gave us a sense of humor
with the whole headgear thing.

I love the whole matching
of the head brace to the bowtie

to the corsage to the shoes.

And the train, the...yeah.

I mean, it's just fashion.

Oh, my God,
you look so gorgeous.

Thank you.

And you make fashion--
Isn't fashion fun?

Fashion's so fun, isn't it?

[laughs]

Up next, Jackie Cox.

Salam, RuPaul Joon.

This look, did you get that
at a bow-tique?

[all laugh]

Michelle: Oh, Carson.

I'm here every Friday.
Try the chicken tenders.

This is just so delicate.

You just look so lovely and
whimsical with the blue hair.

This cut of dress is never easy,

and there's a lot of stuff
going on down here:

the hoop, and there's
crinoline under there.

It's a lot, but I think
you wear it well.

You've given us
a lot of different eras,

and what I appreciate about you

is that you have
an understanding

of all these different eras.

Very, very pretty presentation.

You were so great
in the challenge.

When you had that moment
with the mirror,

you were so emotional.

When you sing that song,
I believed every word.

But then in the disco number,

the wig, like,
on your head movements,

I can kind of tell that
you held back a little bit.

But you pulled it off.

Your delivery was fantastic.

You had so much fun with it,
and you put your all into that.

You're proud,
proud to be standing here.

Thank you, Jackie.

Kheili mamnoon.

Up next, Jaida Essence Hall.

Wow, looking at you,

I feel like the mother
of a Solid Gold dancer.

[all laugh]

You absolutely
just look stunning tonight.

In the 1980s, a long time ago,

there was a show
called Dynasty.

What?

And a man named Nolan Miller
did all the gowns,

and this looks like
a gorgeous, opulent,

1980s Nolan Miller number
that's been updated.

Loving it.

Thank you so much, Carson.

Through the whole performance,
I kept going to you.

The rap section, you hit it.

You were a star.

I just got your results back
from 23andShe,

and, yes, you are that bitch.

[all laugh]

I just think that you shine

when you kind of
forget about the challenge

and you bring the Jaida
to the game.

Just do you,
and you are, like, superstar.

It's been such a joy to
watch you and get to know you,

and you are so good
at what you do.

Tonight was just
an amazing night for you.

Thank you so much, Jaida.

Thank you, Ru.

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Sherry Pie.

Oh! Oh, boo!

[all laugh]

This look I think is gorgeous.

I mean, from the hat
to the parasol

to the gloves to the makeup
to the hair, it is perfection.

Thank you.

This is not shade because
you look so beautiful,

but I don't know how you're not,
like, in your fifties.

Because you pay such attention
to our history,

and here you are
sort of reinventing it.

And it feels fresh and new.

And you do look
absolutely gorgeous.

I know.

[all laugh]

Your performance
is always top notch.

You were so much fun to watch.

In the final number,

that outfit was not my favorite.

That is the finale
of the whole piece.

I didn't think it had
the sparkle and the excitement

that a big disco finale
needed to have.

But I think you killed it
this competition,

you 50-year-old 27-year-old.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank all of you.

Because your stories of strength

and of hope
and of possibilities and joy.

That is our secret weapon.

That is what will sustain us.

You are all heroes, absolutely.

You're all just fabulous.

You're all fantastic! Really!

Now, while you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

You may leave the stage.

Now, just between us showgoils,
whaddaya think?

Crystal Methyd.

Crystal is one of a kind
for sure.

That's a tough position to be in
coming into a competition,

because you've gotta take
this wacky tornado of a human

and fit it into challenges.

Crystal found a way
to make it work.

She is so charming
and just lovable.

In this performance tonight,
she was so gorgeous.

The way she was lifted,
the way she performed,

I am just so happy.

Crystal has had
the biggest improvement

in this whole competition.

I'm so happy
with her journey here.

Gigi Goode.

Gigi Goode, from beginning
to end, was one to watch.

From the moment she took
the stage in the challenge,

I was glued.

There's a fire in Gigi.

I remember working with her
on the Madonna challenge,

and she transformed
into Madonna.

She won the Snatch Game
playing a robot.

What's up, bitch?

Gigi is not a one-note
fashion queen.

She came out and proved
that she had something to say,

she had some comedy chops, she
could sing, and she could dance.

I am so impressed
by how versatile Gigi is,

and you know I love a verse.
[all laugh]

-Jackie Cox.
-I challenged her

to put a little more sauce
in her performance,

and tonight, there was sauce.

Jackie as Disco Cher
for that final?

I thought she looked great.

Jackie Cox is another one
who's so charming.

She's got so much talent.

Ross: All season long, Jackie
has put her heart on that stage.

Michelle:
She's really entertaining.

I love that she wears
her heritage on her sleeve

with pride.

I've been a Jackie Cox fan
for a very long time.

I know you love the cocks.

Well, and I love
the Jackie Cox, too.

Jaida Essence Hall.

She is a quintessential
drag queen,

and it has been a joy
to watch her just do her thing.

Carson: She has so much look
and sizzle

and entertainment value.

Look over there!

She's just fun to watch.

And tonight on the runway, guys,

there was not a thing wrong
with that, not a thing.

She's definitely a star.

You know, for years I've said
about this competition

know who you are,
and bring it to every challenge.

And she is the personification
of that idea.

Sherry Pie.

You know, in the mirror
challenge, she killed it.

And I will say that
not wearing a wig was risky,

but she pulled it off.

She is a technician when it
comes to acting and to comedy.

She gave us great moments
in Gay's Anatomy.

She gave us great moments
in World's Worst.

She is a strong contender.

I keep forgetting
she's only 27 years old.

Wow.

I have edible underwear
older than her.

[all laugh]

Ross: You should check
the expiration date.

Yikes.

Oh, wait.
I'll be right back.

Here we are,
heading into the top four.

We love everybody,
so how am I gonna decide

who should be in the bottom?

-This group is so good.
-Yeah.

I think we have to look
at their track record.

I think the only thing
you can do

is look at the numbers, Ru.
I mean--

Somebody should check my math,

because I'm not good
with math, but--

Hold on. Wait, I got it.

-Carry the one...hold on.
-Uh-huh?

-I have no idea.
-You have no idea.

Okay, well, silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.end act

Welcome back, ladies.

Based on
your performances tonight

and throughout the season,
I've made some decisions.

Gigi Goode.

Con-drag-ulations.

You're the winner
of this week's challenge.

[applause]

You've won a cash tip of $5.000.

Yes, girl!

And you are moving on
into the grand finale.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

You may step
to the back of the stage.

I won the last challenge
of the fucking season, bitch!

And I'm the first girl announced
to move on to the finale.

Oh, my gosh!

Jaida Essence Hall.

Con-drag-ulations.
You are safe,

and you are moving on
to the grand finale.

[applause]
Oh!

Thank you for showing me

that you can be
a little black gay boy,

and you can grow up to be
whatever you wanna be,

even if that's
a black woman, okay?

[all laugh]
Thank you so much.

Sherry Pie.

Con-drag-ulations.
You are safe.

Thank you.

You may step
to the back of the stage.

That means Jackie Cox
and Crystal Methyd,

I'm sorry, my dears, but you
are both up for elimination.

I know how close it is
between me and Crystal.

I need to go out there
and slay this lip sync.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me

and move on to the grand finale,
Season 12

of RuPaul's Drag Race.

The time has come...
[thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] for your life!

I've made it through this entire
competition without lip syncing.

This is my moment to show
that I have a fire inside of me,

and I plan on staying.

Good luck,
and don't fuck it up.

[cheers and applause]

Whoo!

So good.

So good.

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Crystal, shantay you stay.

[exhales]

You're moving on
to the grand finale.

This competition
has challenged me

and made me grow in ways
that I didn't know I could.

Thank you so much
for seeing a star inside of me.

Con-drag-ulations.
You may join the other girls.

I love you.

Aah. I'm so happy
that I made it to the finale!

Jackie Cox, my dear,

your Drag Race journey
ends here.

Your life in the world's
spotlight has just begun.

Now sashay away.

[sighs]

Thank you guys so much.

This competition was unlike
anything I could have imagined.

Thank you. Thank you so much
for everything.

It's so hard to make it this far
and not make it all the way.

Even though I'm going home,

I'm so proud of myself,
and I feel so victorious.

It feels amazing to find
this fighter within myself

that I didn't know I had.

You only have one life to live,

so you better go out there
and live it.

I love you guys.
Khudâ hâfez!

[applause]

Con-drag-ulations
to my final four.

Who do you want

to be America's
next drag superstar?

Are you Team Crystal,

Team Gigi,

or Team Jaida?

Let your voice be heard
using #DragRace.

Tune in next week for
RuPaul's Drag Race Reunited,

and join us in two weeks

for the grand finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race,

where we will crown
a winner, baby.

And remember,
if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell you gonna love
somebody else?

Can I get an "amen" up in here?

-Amen!
-Amen!

All right,
now let the music play.
