[Vanjie] I'm new to a lot of things.

I ain't new to stunts.

Oh, my God, Ja-- Jasper!

That-- I'm drunk. Jasper!

-[Jasper speaking] -They're gonna kill me. Just tape.

It was not from the dick, I promise.

It was on my head, and I tried to throw it past you.

I'm sorry.

You're gonna hate me.

[Jasper] No! [laughs]

[Vanjie] Jasper.

Wipe it off.

I'm so sorry.

No, it's OK.

You know, obviously, I don't have the best aim, OK?

My name is Jasper.

Doo-loo-loo-loo.

Come on, Jasper, we're not finished recording.

Bring your ass.

-Hi, Jasper. -Hello.

How've you been?

What do you want, Jasper?

I want your thoughts on this.

I don't have no thoughts.

Stop! Leave me alone!

Stop, Jasper!

Jasper!

Jasper, stop!

I am the filmmaker/director of Werq the World,

and I have made two seasons now.

Get away! Oh, my God, Jasper.

Jasper! Stop.

Stop. Stop.

[Jasper] It's a very intimate connection,

because you sleep on the bus with these girls.

I know one thing, though.

I know today, after tonight's show, we're cleaning this bus.

You're with them the whole time that they're on tour,

but you're also filming.

So I'm simultaneously kind of-- you become a friend,

but I'm also trying to make myself invisible.

Are you yawning, bitch?

-[Jasper] Huh? -Are you yawning?

-No, I'm not. -Oh.

Did I put you to sleep?

What? What, Jasper?

What the fuck do you want?

All right, Jasper. Crrrck.

Hi, baby.

Hey.

Hey, I wanted to call you

because I'm supposed to make the finale for Werq the World.

The idea for the finale was that I was gonna film the entire day

-of the last day in-- -One sec. Stop moving your camera.

Oh, I'll put it like this.

No, actu-- It's on my knees, so I'll-I'll just not move.

I was going to make an episode

of just the final day of the tour,

and when we got to the venue, they wouldn't let us film.

So I don't have a finale for Werq the World,

and what I did instead is I lined up--

Out of all those days you filmed us, you don't have enough footage?

Well, no, I do.

So I'm rushing to get ready, and I'm in my room,

and I have convinced myself

that everybody's out here waiting on me.

So 5:59, I run out here,

lacing up my last little bit of my shoe,

to wait for 15 minutes.

-That's cute. -Thank you, girl.

-Mm. -[breathes heavily]

Mm-hmm.

-[Jasper speaking] -Absolutely.

[Detox] Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah!

Watch it walk away from you.

What you gotta say about my room, huh? Huh? Huh?

Can't say shit, right?

You can't say shit about my room. Yeah.

That's what you're saying-- nothing. [tongue pop]

[cheers and applause]

[hums]

Someone stole my shoes.

Last one, bitches!

[Jasper] Werq the World originally started

with World of Wonder

sending me on tour last season in Europe,

and sort of a blank slate.

Like, go out and if you get six 10-minute episodes,

we are super happy.

[cheers and applause]

[Jasper speaking]

We are in Berlin

for the first day of rehearsal in Berlin.

So it's time to turn up and turn it out.

My original idea was to make, like, the Berlin episode

and the Paris episode.

But then the reality of touring was that we are always inside.

But is it-- who is here?

Who is actually here?

[Jasper] You're inside the theater,

you're inside the rehearsal space.

The second the show's done, you go onto the bus.

Well, Shangela will drag your ass to the club.

We're going to after-party.

The after-after-party. Come on.

And then you go onto the bus.

But then you drive to the next city all night,

wake up in the next city, and it's rinse and repeat.

The schedule is back-to-back.

My poor Hermes scarf.

It was just thrown in the bag like it's trash.

[Jasper] And obviously, I was--

nothing prepares you for Alyssa Edwards.

I broke a nail, damn it.

I need to get that nail glue, so this nail's crooked.

Oh, why are you trying to film my crooked nail?

Damn, Geena.

[cheers and applause]

Aha! Aha!

She werked the world,

and good night!

[tongue pop]

That's a wrap, bitch. You got it!

The fuck? You gonna follow me to the car.

[Jasper] You thought you were done with me!

Alyssa, Alyssa, Alyssa, quickly.

Where are you going?

When I showed up with my camera in Season 1,

I, first of all, didn't even know yet what I was making,

and least of all, the girls had no idea what I was making.

Ooh! Oh!

Are we doing porno?

[Jasper] But, honestly, that they didn't know what was happening

worked in my favor, because they just let everything they filmed.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Fix your hair, fix your mug.

Don't you be catching me on them cameras eating.

[Jasper] Also, this is a side note,

but the whole reason the Season 1 filter of this show

is sort of orange

is because on day one, Valentina set me aside

and she's like, "Make sure the light is warm."

Does it look warm?

[Japer] It does look warm.

Do I look greasy?

[Jasper] And she tested it out with me

and I put this, like, orange filter on it.

Still purple. And blue.

Afterwards, all these people told me, like,

"Why the fuck is this whole show orange?"

Well, the answer is Valentina.

OK, so Jasper, just-- wait!

Jasper accidentally dropped a beer right there. Look.

We're not gonna tell anyone.

We're not gonna tell anyone Jasper did it,

'cause we don't want World of Wonder to fire him.

-[person] It was you. -So it was me

out of anger and rage, because of all nights,

I could get away with it tonight,

'cause there's some crazy shit going on tonight

in Helskinky-kinky.

What--what is its name?

[Jasper speaking]

Helsinki.

Everything is going wrong, girl.

Everything is going wrong.

But you know what? Somehow I'm in a good mood.

Season 1 was amazing, because A, we're in Europe,

and Paris is just a little more enticing

than Fresno, California.

But also, we were on the bus for much longer stretches.

There would sometimes be a 21-hour bus ride

from Paris to Stockholm.

Ooh!

Oh, so glad to be off the bus.

[Jasper] We would always be in the back of the bus,

and I miss my Latrice,

where I would always cuddle up against.

She would have a little blunt, pass it around,

and just make sure we all had the best time of our lives.

[Latrice speaking]

[Valentina] Say it!

[all laugh]

Season 2 was a really different experience.

Are we on? Aah!

Not the homophobic lighting.

Light!

[Jasper speaking]

No, I need the light.

Thank you.

Turn on the light! Let's redo that.

There. Now I look beautiful.

[Jasper] Out of the shot, then go in.

There, now I look beautiful.

This over-- see, Jasper, he's trying to--

he's trying to get me in my most vulnerable stage, you know?

Like, being the feminine woman that I am.

He's always catching me in these situations

that is not benefiting my image.

[Jasper speaking]

I don't know.

[sniffles]

I'm still trying to find out.

But he's making it very hard for me to do so.

When I showed up on Season 2, it was-- it was different

because A, the girls now knew what was happening.

I would be filming with a girl,

and they would be yelling to someone else,

"Get out of my episode!"

They now knew the format.

[Monét] Shut the fuck up!

Get out of my episode, bitch!

-Oh, sorry. -[Detox] Oh, it's her episode now. OK.

Or else I'm gonna have to bring Kameron Michaels in here

to get you out of the episode for me. [Monét] Here we go! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh, now--

Oh, so now that it's me, y'all switch up the energies.

[Detox speaking]

-Uh-huh. -[Detox speaking]

Hey, the headliner. What can I say?

[Monét] Bitch, I had an episode to myself,

I was motherfucking ready!

[all laugh]

It's a shame that head lice love wigs.

You should try one or two or three

on top of each other one time. [laughs]

[Jasper] Some of the Season 2 girls are just queens that are more--

they wanna be in control of their aesthetic.

Like, like art, right?

How are you? [laughs]

The after-show routine.

[Jasper] So they don't like that there's a camera lingering around,

capturing everything that they can't control in post.

[Vanjie speaking]

[Jasper speaking]

[Vanjie peaking]

[Jasper speaking]

[Vanjie] Kim Chi, the karaoke.

-Oh, hi, Jasper. -Hi.

Well, what do you wanna know?

You want content, I'll give you content.

Ask me some questions.

[Jasper speaking]

Something you've been dying...

Mmm... so I heard

that you voted for Trump, so tell us about that.

How could you, like, in conscience, vote for Trump

and then show your face around all these iconic drag legends?

Oh, so you don't vote?

That's even more ignorant,

especially in these oppressive times.

Eat it!

[all laugh]

[Vanjie] I knew what was about to be, she looked around and said--

I said, "Oh, it's going down."

Kim Chi.

[choreographer] Um, openings.

[Jasper] Kim Chi was, I think,

the girl who hated the camera the most.

What can I do to make Jasper's life hard?

[Jasper] And I love Kim Chi,

but the second the comes into the dressing room,

she yells, "I'm naked!"

Don't come in, we're naked!

I'm serious.

-Get out, Jasper. -[Jasper] Yeah, get out? OK.

Rude. They're all rude.

They're so rude.

[Jasper] Most of the time, she's actually dressed.

She just doesn't like being filmed.

Don't get too close. Uh-uh, uh-uh.

[Jasper] I wanted to try to make another Kim Chi episode, too,

but Kim Chi never showed up for her interview,

she didn't like being filmed in the dressing rooms.

Don't get me like this! [laughs]

-Typical white male. -Yeah.

You think you're all that?

Well, sweetie, let me tell you something.

-You're not. -When I'm done with you--

They're gonna know to screw you.

-From the top, from the top, from the top. -From the top.

I hope Kim Chi won't hate this.

I did pull together all of the outtakes of Kim Chi,

which would have been an episode if we had an interview

and I think we should show it to people anyway.

[cheers and applause]

[Kim Chi] Here, right now?

-[Plastique] Yes. -What the fuck?

[Plastique speaking]

It's hard. [laughs]

[Vanjie] I can't do it.

-[Kim Chi] Put the leg in. Put the leg in. -Aah, my leg!

[Vanjie] They're too thick.

[Jasper speaking]

No, I wish I got nervous.

Uh, every time I go on stage I'm like, you know what?

The worst thing that can happen is public humiliation,

and that happens anyway, so--

It's OK. We're all nervous for her.

[laughs]

[imitates Yvie's laugh]

[Kim Chi] Jasper, I'm gonna be completely honest with you.

This group of queens is, like, the nicest,

like, low-key group of queens that I've ever worked with.

I don't even know if you're gonna have, like,

that much, like, footage to work with this year.

[Jasper speaking]

Um... no one's that delusional, so--

[queen] Ha! Damn.

[Kim Chi] No, I mean, I love Valentina, but she's just, like,

a very special category of her own, you know?

-[laughs] -[queen] Bam.

Oh, I thought she was a part of the Pit Crew.

[all laugh]

I love you guys, too.

[Jasper] As much as Kim Chi loved to torture everyone...

Why are you running away?

I'm not gonna tickle you.

Are you-- You're ticklish, aren't you?

[Jasper] Sometimes she would try to produce some drama.

Who?

Why y'all wanna watch this?

Wai-- I don't wanna watch. It's embarrassing.

-I wanna watch. One sec-- -[Yvie] But you were also the bitch

who was, like, well, I guess--

[Vanjie] Why y'all wanna watch this?

The one girl who I want to go home is Yvie,

because she fought me.

[Vanjie] Can y'all take that out there?

[Kim Chi] Wait, let's show this to Yvie.

[Vanjie] No! Gimme my phone!

[Kim Chi] Yvie, we have a question.

How do you feel about this?

Come here for a second.

When I was fighting this ho?

I don't regret

most of the fights I got in on the show,

but I especially don't regret that,

because that was also the first time

I hashed out any sort of feelings with Vanjie

that weren't just, like, I'm so proud of you.

I can't believe you're here.

It's normal to fight and argue. It's OK.

Really? It's normal to fight?

-Yes, bitch. -[laughs]

Now, between the two of you, who do you think has better makeup?

-[Yvie] Uh, now? -Mm-hmm.

We don't wear makeup. That's the problem.

-[all laugh] -We don't wear makeup.

That's my bitch right there.

-I love her. -Did you just call me a bitch?

-No, you're my bitch. -Just kidding.

[laughs]

[Kim Chi] Let's have a heart-to-heart. Your Adam's apple is showing.

[screams and laughter]

Yeah, Jasper, all this hard work

is gonna end up on WOW Presents Plus

for no one to watch.

[queen] How you been?

[Kennedy] Yeah? It's time to say werq.

[Monét] Right?

[Jasper speaking]

During the final days of the tour,

one of my favorite queens from Season 1

made a guest appearance.

Ooh, girlfriend.

Hey, my boyfriend! I miss you!

I miss you, too!

[Detox] Kennedy is coming back today.

I got that memo last night, and I was so excited to see Kennedy.

Hi, Kennedy!

We've been talking about your ass.

-[both laugh] -How are you?

Aquaria?

Bitch!

How are you?

-Nice to see you. -Nice to see you.

-How you been? -Good.

Yvie?

[Yvie] Oh.

Snap. Oh, hi, darlin'!

Hey!

-Good to see you. -Good to see you, too, babe

Yes, yes, this my husband.

Let the world know.

This is my husband.

I'm just waiting on the ring though, still.

I fell in love during the season.

You got the money, bitch.

Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

So you're saying I have to get my own ring and yours?

Yes.

What about the kids, girl? What about the kids?

What about them, girl?

We gotta make sure we can get along first.

[both laugh]

My number is the award-winning talent I did

when I won Miss Gay USofA.

So it's big time,

something different for Werq the World, very different.

It's good to be back, even if it's for seven minutes.

Kennedy came back for one night,

and she made it great.

I'm ready for my close-up.

It's probably better seeing it from the side, you know?

I just had 'em done.

[laughs]

Oh, I-- [laughs] Ooh.

Ooh, you heard it pop?

-[Jasper laughs] -Ooh!

Ooh, help me, Lord.

Oh!

Kennedy Davenport!

[cheers and applause]

[Alyssa] The reigning Miss Gay USofA.

To be able to perform in, you know, my hometown

for my family-- it was great.

And you better gimme a lot of camera time, too.

Fuck these other hos.

Let me tell you something, Jasper.

You think you're all that. You think you're hot shit, huh?

Let me tell you something, OK?

I've been doing this for almost a fucking year now.

You get in my face with the camera one more time,

I'm gonna fuck you up, OK?

I'm gonna fuck you up so fucking hard,

you wouldn't know where you've been, OK?

OK? Let me tell you something.

[Jasper] Wha-What are you getting ready for?

I'm here with Silky.

Hi, Silky!

Me and Silky, we're here live.

Maybe move some of these bottles in front of the shot.

Boot them out of the way?

Yeah, it looks like open bar season right now.

Well, hell.

And now move it a bit more towards you, Vanjie.

Then we're golden.

See, this is why I don't like doing shit.

This is a prime example.

Because the camera's fucked up, you have to set it up yourself,

you have to go live, you have to go on the link.

I don't do that.

What I do is get in drag, perform, entertain,

have fun, kiki, be a personality.

Now I am the light technician,

I have a whole appreciation for production now.

I used to like them and wanna fuck them.

Now I wanna marry 'em.

Like, this is a whole 'nother level of, like--

This is what Beyoncé is Beyoncé, because she's got a team.

Now I'm trying to be Beyoncé,

and I don't even got Kelly or Michelle. I got Silky,

which is like Latavia from--

Oh!

-La Conga! -La Conga!

Y'all bitches ain't ready.

[Jasper] Vanjie loves the camera.

She's all over the place at all times, but it's so funny.

[singing] ♪ I-I-I've never been this peace ♪

♪ Like my name is there, bitch Wokao ♪

All right!

[Jasper] And I struggled for a long time

to figure out if she's putting on the character

or that she just is the character.

Half the performance, I'm like this.

Kiss my ass!

My conclusion is that she just is the character.

'Cause sometimes when there is no one around,

the dressing room door is closed, there are no cameras,

she's in the shower or whatever, you can still hear her.

Mah, mah, mah, mah, mah.

[Vanjie shouting]

-Jasper? -Yes?

Cut the camera off and let me show you

what's gonna happen with this bitch.

Drop!

I'm about to be shaking my ass for the Holy Ghost.

I'm a good kid.

I have good intentions, but I just like to have fun,

and ain't nothing wrong with that.

[tongue pop]

[Jasper] For most of the actual final day of tour,

I was not allowed to film inside the venue.

By the time everything was sorted,

the show was about to begin,

and the girls were up to no good.

[Monét] We're trying to plan this gag at the end of the night.

which-- did y'all tell Plastique and Naomi?

[Aquaria talking]

[Jasper] Well, I wanna know so I can be in on it.

Oh, I'm not gonna tell him, then. No, I'm not gonna tell you.

-Tell me the gag! -No.

[Jasper] What's the gag, Aquaria? I need to know.

Baby, the gag is nine and a half inches uncut,

and not on my person right now.

No, it's a surprise.

You'll find out when it happens.

Oh, now he's going to the next queen.

[Jasper laughs] Maybe Yvie knows.

Oh, so you think I'm just gonna bitch out like that?

I know snitches get stitches.

-[Monét] Wow. -[laughs]

[Monét] What are you trying to say about Yvie's character?

It's gonna be beautiful.

There better not be any more pranks.

Why, do you know something I don't?

No, no, no, I just don't know.

[Plastique] What is happening?

Final show! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!

[cheers and applause]

♪ Now sissy that walk ♪

The second they opened their robes,

they were all in lingerie.

So basically naked.

♪ She's a super queen ♪

♪ Never miss a beat ♪

♪ She's a super queen ♪

♪ Landing on her feet ♪

Everyone was naked!

This is the most chaotic finale we've ever had.

I love. Everyone said, oh, shit. I love.

♪ I gave it all ♪

♪ And if I fly, or if I fall ♪

♪ Least I can say, I gave it all ♪

-♪ And if I fly, or if I fall ♪ -[Jasper speaking]

Chaos, absolute-- these people, like,

they can't even do they regular gigs,

and then they trying to do extra.

Monét almost lost her costume.

Monét, that's what you get.

[Monét] You know what? All I have to say is these--

These bitches that listen to RuPaul's records

have a lot to say.

You in a room with winners, honey.

-[Asia] Huh? -[tongue pop]

You're in a room with winners.

It's Aquaria and Monét motherfucking X Change.

What's your excuse? Did you hide my shoes?

No, I didn't, but now that I--

now that you have stripped me

-of every sliver of dignity that I have... -[Monét laughs]

...I'm gonna tuck my tail between my legs

and go back to my puny little broom closet.

One of these motherfucking girls

hid my shoes for the whole closing number.

[Aquaria] Are you sure it wasn't your inner saboteur?

-No! [laughs] -Oh...

Oh, yeah, my inner saboteur's name is Aquaria.

-[Aquaria] Oh! -Oh!

Who did it, though?

[Aquaria] Wait. No, I know!

Jasper did it in the dressing room with the wrench!

Bitch, I'm about to throw a wrench at that camera.

[laughs]

My dick's about to pop out, Jasper.

Get outta here, Jasper!

Get the fuck outta here.

-Oh! -[laughs]

Don't ever say never.

[Monét] Damn.

[Jasper] For me, the most magical moment of the tour

is when the girls are all putting on their hoods

to go on the stage, and the music starts playing,

and the crowd is getting quiet.

And the girls are still just goofing around,

and I'm getting nervous, because I'm like,

the curtain's gonna go up in 30 seconds,

and you're all still finishing your drink, not ready.

There's some other girl in the bathroom.

But then, somehow, some way, when the music hits,

they're all in place, and then the curtain comes up

and the crowd just goes bozonk.

[cheers and applause]

[Plastique] Werq the World is the biggest Drag Race show right now.

Each year, it's just getting bigger and bigger.

[Naomi] The fact that we have such, like, powerhouse queens on stage

doing one thing is incredible.

This is the best show I've ever been part of.

[Detox] I wish that I had something like this when I was growing up,

because my parents didn't understand me.

And so it's nice that I can be a part of that now,

and see so many kids

that remind me of myself when I was their age.

The more seeds that we plant,

the larger this entire beautiful garden is gonna grow.
