- Here we are--

the finale, the final four, and I made it.

- We made it!

- Talk about a dream come true.

- Well, here we are again.

I thought last week we were gonna

get rid of another one, but... - Oh, yeah.

- Top four. - Top four!

- Final challenge.

- Oh, my God, one of us is gonna be crowned, bitch.

First Global All Star.

I am overwhelmed with every emotion,

the number-one emotion being hungry.

Second emotion, horny.

And third emotion, wanting the crown.

[ding]

- $200,000.

- Oh, my God.

- And the crown.

But, also, 200 fucking thousand dollars.

Oh, my God.

- That is life-changing money. - That is incredible.

I need to go down to the currency converters,

because I've got no idea what that is in, like, pounds.

But that's a lot of money.

- What would you do with 200,000?

- Oh, I'd just go shopping.

I'd get a couple of wigs, probably go on holiday.

- I think I can help my family with the money.

- I was gonna say that, too.

- At this point in my life,

I've done this now for 23 years.

It's all up to this moment.

- Take a shot every time Alyssa said

she's done it for 23 years.

- I'm impressed.

You're so old.

- Well, I hope you make it to this age, honey,

and this level and this intensity.

- [chuckling]

- How did I end up here?

How did I end up here,

after 23 years, with these goonies?

How is this my life? - Right, right.

- Dressed up like fucking-- [siren wailing]

- Every time!

- Alyssa, shut up.

- My final four Global All Stars.

You're on the top of the world, looking down on creation.

Now, get ready to bust a move and represent your nation.

There's one last dance, and hips don't lie.

So snatch the crown, girl, and fly, fly, fly.

[ding]

[cheering]

- Fly, fly, fly! - Peter Pan!

I'm gonna take flight! It was meant to be!

[laughter]

[cheering] - Hello, hello, hello!

- Good morning. - Bellissima.

- Good morning, ladykins.

- Good morning! - Good morning!

- Condragulations on making it to the grand finale

of "Global All Stars."

- Yay!

- Now, you've served drag excellence all season,

but it's not over yet.

Each of you still has a chance to earn your place

in the newly constructed International Pavilion

at the Drag Race Hall of Fame,

located in Daytona Beach, Florida.

- Oh-ho! - Ooh.

- For your final Maxi Challenge,

you'll star in the music video for the new

Global All Stars anthem,

"Dance Like the World is Watching."

[cheering]

- Finally!

Finally!

I can dance! I can sing!

Thank you, thank you!

- #GlobalAllStars. [ding]

The song was composed just for you by Leeland.

And now you get to write and record

your own original verses.

- Mm! - Oh, my--

- Then you'll work with Jamal Sims

to create an iconic dance sequence that will zig my zag

and tik my tok.

- [gasps] - Oh!

- In addition to all of that, you're cordially

invited to join Michelle Visage and me for an intimate

Tic Tac Chit Chat.

- Oh, I'm hungry. - Mm-hmm.

- You're horny.

- And tomorrow on the runway, category is Best Drag on Earth.

- Yes!

- Where we will be joined by our extra-special guest judge,

former Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutiérrez.

- Oh!

- My God.

- And in the end, one of you will walk away

with a cash prize of $200,000.

- Oh, baby.

- The money.

- So good luck.

And don't fuck it up.

- Yes!

- Yay!

- Oh, my God. This is it.

This is the final. Here we are.

I can feel that crown landing on my head.

I need it.

- All Stars, start your engines,

and may the best Global Glamazon win.

[cheering]

- For the last challenge, we are writing

our own lyrics to a song called

"Dance Like the World is Watching."

Are you kidding me?

I've been dancing in my bedroom like the world has been

watching for my whole life.

I've been waiting for this moment.

How's everyone's, like, writing going?

- Good. I love my verse. - I like mine.

- Trying to find ways that I can

be a straight-up rap-stress.

This is the thing.

I never really write lyrics until I come to "Drag Race."

And then I literally do it, and I'm like,

I'm Steven bloody Sondheim.

I'm trying to find ways that I can still

be understandable and still be funny and still be key,

you know?

- I'm the only girl here that speak

another language that is not English,

so I want to use that.

I want to bring some Italian words in my lyrics.

Also because in Italia,

I can do a lot of joke with the word.

The meaning of my Italian lyric is, "Here, I make history,

"and you only do Instagram stories.

"So, if you want, I can follow you.

"But you need to prove that you can

follow me on the dance floor."

- Sweetheart, you already follow me.

And, no, I don't follow you back.

- Yes, but can I unfollow you?

No, I can't, because you're so beautiful.

[laughter]

- Has anyone ever done TikTok dances before?

- Working with kids, one of their favorite things

is to have me join in learning these TikTok dances.

I mean, every break we get, they're like, Mr. Justin,

will you please learn this dance with us and do a video?

I want to keep the kids in mind because I want

my students to be able to pick up on the choreography.

I want it to be something that everyone can celebrate.

- Totally.

- You know, young, old, new, fresh, hip, hot,

grannies, grandmas, whatever.

- I've been 21 years in this business, and I think that--

- It doesn't show, though. - 23!

- I mean 23 years in this business.

- Alyssa, don't leave those two years out.

I know Miss Kitty is tired of hearing about "I have 23 years

of experience," because if she ain't hearing it from me,

she's hearing it from Ru on the main stage.

It is something to be very proud of.

- 23 years in the business.

- 23 years.

And after all the scrimping, scrangling, and finagling,

I'm sitting in a room with you.

- What are you saying?

- Scrimping, scrangling, fer-nangling?

Listen here, toots.

We invented the language.

Please respect it.

- But talking about something different, please,

I never do the Tic Tac chat.

It's my first time.

I'm very excited about it.

I think it's your time, too.

- Yes, yes.

- You're excited?

- Beyond.

I've wanted to do this for so long.

- I'm really excited because, like, the last time I had one

of those, the Tic Tac lunch, I literally didn't feel

like I deserved to be there.

So this feels really nice because I do feel

like I deserve to be here now.

- Mm-hmm.

- Nelly, what's going on in your head?

What are you thinking?

Share your thoughts, lady.

- It's a lot.

It's a--oh, sorry.

Oh, fuck.

I have shivers thinking that I'm gonna talk with RuPaul

and Michelle, two of the people that

I look up to all of my life.

Oh, my God, it's incredible.

It's a lot to organize in my mind, in my heart.

But--fuck, I deserve to be here.

I worked so hard to be here.

- I think Nelly is just her own unique person,

and I love that about her.

And she's a sassafras.

She really is.

I love that Miss Nelly can stand her own.

- Top four.

Let's bloody go, baby.

- Yes, motherfucker!

- 23 years in the business leading to this point.

- [laughing]

- My name is Alyssa Edwards.

- And this is the top four finale.

[clicks tongue]

- Well, well, well, look who we have here.

- I don't think I've been more nervous.

- [laughing]

- [laughing]

[dramatic music]

- KSC!

- Yes. - RP.

MV.

[laughter] - Wow.

Here you are in the final four.

How have you changed since the last time

you were in this competition?

- I think when I was on season three of UK,

I went into it thinking, I'm not gonna win.

I'm here to have a good time.

I'm here to be funny.

If I get far, I get far, and that's it.

And this time I feel like I've really

fought because all the girls were so strong from the off.

And it was like, I can't rely on just being the funny one.

I need to prove that I am the best of the best.

It's shaken me, and it's pushed me

out of my comfort zone, but I think that's good.

I think that's what I need to grow and to develop.

- Absolutely. That's how you grow.

You fail, you stumble, and then you find out

where your strengths are.

And I've said this to you, you are ready to step

into a West End show.

You're ready to step into a Broadway show, host television.

You're ready. - Yeah.

- You are so ready.

- And it is like trusting your intuition

and thinking, like, what's gonna come next?

I don't know.

But I'm so here for it.

And I love the adventure, and I love the journey

and everything that "Drag Race" has brought me.

I can't thank you enough.

- Let's talk about the competition for a second.

You ended up in the bottom two after the makeover challenge.

- Yeah.

- That upset you greatly.

- The thing is, for me, I'd never

lip-synced for my life in my last season or in this season.

And so I think I'd built it up so much in my head

that it was like, oh, my God, I'm a failure.

Like, I've come here, and I've been

fighting so much to win and do well

and prove, like, why I'm here.

And I think, like, being in the bottom two--

I know everyone says, like, it really lit a fire under my ass,

but it really did.

- And you did those death drops.

My gosh.

Did you know going into it that you were gonna do

a death drop, or did it just happen?

- It just happened.

- It just happened on the spot.

- My favorite part was the nurse after ran out,

and she was like, what do you need?

And I was like, gin and tonic, darling.

What do you need?

- [laughing]

- Kitty, we have a gift for you.

It--it's a "Global Drag Race" pin.

- [gasps] - Wear it with pride.

- Oh, my God.

Thank you so much.

Oh, that's fabulous.

Thank you.

I also got you something.

- Oh, what is it?

[laughter]

And, Michelle, I've got one for you.

- Go on.

[laughter]

- Thank you, Kitty. - Thank you so much, guys.

- Ciao, baby. - Mwah, mwah.

- Look who's here.

- Hello.

- Buongiorno.

- Buongiorno. - Buongiorno.

From the moment you walked in here, we fell in love with you.

- Thank you.

- And do people say that to you all the time?

- No.

- Yes, they do.

- No, totally, no.

- Because there's a sweetness.

You're naturally funny.

You're fantastic in the Girl Group Challenge.

You're fantastic with singing and dancing.

You know, because of being on television,

there are kids in Italy who are looking at you,

and they're idolizing you.

What do you think about that?

- Thinking that maybe one child can look at me

and say, oh, my God, I'm feeling like Nehellenia,

so I'm not alone--

it's a big deal.

- Now, the one thing I've noticed about you

in this competition, Nelly, is that you are a Nervous Nelly.

You're worried so much about what other people think of you

or that you can't do it.

And here you are in the final four.

We didn't pull you through.

You did it.

- I dreaming about this moment for a long time.

I work a lot.

I study a lot.

It's 11 years that I do drag.

And it's for this moment.

So thank you so much.

- Thank yourself.

You should be very proud of yourself.

- Thank you so much.

[sobbing] Sorry, I'm not--

I have makeup.

I get emotional every time.

Maybe inside of me I know already that stuff,

but hearing from RuPaul...

for me, it's the biggest victory that I have in my life.

- Nehellenia, we have a gift for you.

This is a "RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Star" pin.

- Thank you so much! - [laughing]

- Can I hug you? Thank you.

- Of course, my darling. Of course.

- Thank you so much. - You're so welcome.

- You're so welcome. You're so welcome.

Nehellenia, condragulations.

It's been so great.

Good luck out there.

All right?

Go rehearse. - Thank you so much.

- Go get em, kiddo. - Thank you.

- [gasps] Look who's here.

- Kween Kong.

The Kween is in the house.

- What's been the biggest change since your season?

- I think, you know, the last time we met in my season,

there were so many things that I hadn't really unpacked

to figure out what was strong,

which is why I was so-- not weak.

I was just really defeated.

You know, I think I was carrying all these bags

and just had the weight of the world

and didn't necessarily know how to start unpacking.

And so the gems that you gave me

the last time I was here really started the unlocking process.

- Mm-hmm.

- And, oh, my God, I just feel so free, you know.

- In this competition, you've been--

makeup advice and mothering.

When did this start? - You know,

I think I've always been aware that I would be nothing

if it wasn't for the people that helped me

realize my potential, like my mom and like my sister.

You know, because they made such sacrifices for me

to do what I wanted to do.

- What is your greatest achievement

so far in this competition?

- I look back at the whole journey,

and there's nothing I would have changed.

You know, I feel really like I'm standing in front of you

like a full-rounded, seasoned professional

and someone that really just wants to have fun.

- Absolutely.

- I'm sick of feeling sad and feeling

depressed and struggling.

I want to be happy. So, yeah.

- I mean, the whole world can learn from that.

- You know, I feel like coming here

was the right decision.

And I feel like I've done myself completely proud.

And hearing it from Ru, baby, thank you.

That's what I wanted.

- So we have a gift for you.

- Oh, my goodness.

- And it looks like you have a gift for us.

- Yes. I've got some gifts for you.

These are just a couple of tokens.

This is from the Pacific, my aunties and my mom.

- Thank you so much. - So sweet!

- They made you some things, just to say thank you.

- We have something for you. - Yes.

- This packaging is way more rich.

Thank you. I'll take this. [laughter]

These are just crafty, but love you.

They are small tokens of my appreciation.

But also, from where I come from, they mean a lot.

You know, they really-- they look really simple,

but they actually, they hold a lot of weight, you know.

And so I want to make sure that I can offer

something to just say thank you

for, you know, helping me realize my potential.

[gasps] Oh, my God.

- That's your "RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars" pin.

Wear it with pride, darling. - Wear it with pride, my love.

Condragulations on everything.

I'm so proud of you.

- Oh, thank you.

- It is amazing to see you again

and to see you excel the way you have in this competition.

- Thank you.

It's all because of you. Both of you.

You've really, like, changed my life.

So I'm so thankful. Thank you so much.

- All right. Go get ready for the next challenge.

- Love you so much. - Thank you, darling.

- How beautiful. - Gorgeous.

Well, well, well,

look who we have here. - [gasps]

Looking very nice. - Thank you.

I don't think I've been more nervous, because this one

is so very special to me.

And my whole being is full of gratitude.

- I don't know how many years ago you first

walked into this Werk Room.

- Season five, right? - Season five.

- Season five--what do you know about yourself today

that you didn't know then?

- I walked into this room and the girls

were all saying who they thought their biggest

competition were.

And I realized, my biggest competition

is 23 years of experience in this.

Can I outdo what I've done?

Will I live up to the expectation of what

you all have, this vision, this image,

this picture in your head?

- You won the first Maxi Challenge.

Then you had a bunch of safes. - Yeah.

- And I can see it in your face that it was getting you.

Am I correct?

- It was like, this is hard, Michelle.

- Of course.

- I want to make myself proud today.

- I think you should be proud,

because you have presented yourself as a star.

You have presented yourself as the star

that we've always seen.

And that has made us so proud,

you representing the United States of America.

This--perfection.

- I can feel that lump come up in my throat.

Having Ru tell me that he is so very proud of me,

I don't know if I really realized how much

I was yearning to hear that.

Sorry.

I think I've waited a lifetime to hear that.

- In the beginning of this conversation,

Ru was talking to you about your biggest competition,

when really it was you.

You're such a different person than we met on season five.

We all--you know, age, wisdom, patience, kindness, and love

have done you, Justin--

not just Alyssa--

Justin wonders.

OK, Alyssa, we have a little something for you.

- Thank you very much.

I will wear this with pride.

And I've been a part of something so magical.

- Thank you, Alyssa.

- Thank you both so very much.

- Thank you.

- [grunting]

Clean those arms up.

Even you fall out of the turn?

This seems like it's very hard.

- [laughing]

- [laughing]

- Nehellenia!

- It's Nelly, bitch.

- Hey, Alyssa,

it's music video time.

- And I've got my costume on, my good hair.

- Here, Kitty, Kitty.

- Meow. - Come on, Kitty girl.

- It's time for our choreography rehearsal

with the one and only Jamal Sims.

- Kween Kong! - Oh, my God.

Jamal!

Jamal has worked with so many legends--

Madonna, J-Lo, Usher.

- Time to make a video.

- Oh, my God, I'm gagging. This is a dream.

I love that I'm gonna be a part of this legacy.

- I am ready.

- It's the challenge that I'm waiting for.

- I want to see this iconic dance

you want to show me that the kids will be doing on Monday.

- I want to start off with the original

House of Edwards Dance. - OK.

- And I want the whole world doing it along with me.

I did it with Miley at the VMAs.

- Love it.

- And we're bringing it back.

Here we go. - OK, OK.

- My dance, actually, it's a love letter

to the House of Edwards.

So I'm giving y'all grade-A choreography.

- Which part of this is the House of Edwards?

Is it the whole thing?

- So it always starts with the push through the door.

- Yeah. Yeah, that's the signature.

- And then also this. - OK.

Can I see you walk through it one more time?

- Yeah. Dance, dance!

And then the first time we're gonna do

a spin round into, like, a sort of Regina George mom.

But it's me, so it's gonna be pump, pump.

- Uh-huh.

- With the world peace girl power.

- There we go.

- Thing is, simple but effective.

That has come to bite me on the ass in this competition

with the makeover challenge.

But hopefully not here.

One and two. One, two.

One and two. It's cute. It's simple.

And it's very me. - It's very you.

Let's see what you came up with.

I just want to make sure that it feels

doable for the home view.

- One, two, three, and four.

- Aha. OK, OK.

A lot of this seems like it's very hard, but--

- Hard?

Oh, my God, for me, it's so easy.

- OK.

- Jamal say to simplify the choreo.

And turning around.

That is not already simple? Da-da-da.

It's like the Macarena.

One, one, ha!

- One, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven eight.

The average consumer at home,

they're not professional dancers.

- Right. Right. - So just keep in mind...

- OK. Yeah. - Everybody's got to join in.

- Right. Right. - Left and punch.

- Punch?

- And then a little round. - Roll?

- And a little sniff of the armpit.

- Clip. OK.

- Oh, my goodness.

Jamal is hot, but I can't even look at him that way

because he's such an idol to me that

I can't even look him in the eyes.

So I'll look at his chest.

Buckle your seat belt, cross, and step.

- Do you think it's easier...

- Yes, please. - If we go here?

- Love that.

- Just to clean it up. - Love it.

Everything that Jamal is giving me

is making things more clear so that when they see it

on screen, it's easy for them to pick up.

- So this is stop.

And look at the hand as flexed.

Think if you were riding a motorcycle.

- Yep, yep.

- Everybody gather around.

Look at me teach my choreography to Jamal.

That's right. That's me.

Hold that wall. Hold it tight. - Yes, yeah.

- And then locked in.

Wah, wah.

Stop, spin.

Yes, that's it. - All right, all right.

- From the top. Let's connect it.

- Whoo! Fans, please.

So to make your Britney Spears fantasy come alive...

- Oh, my God!

Thank you!

- Here we go.

- Today I'm living my Britney fantasy.

When the fans go in my hair, I feel so good, so confident.

I'm dancing, baby.

I'm the star.

- Ooh!

She's in the wind.

- My hair is done, flying in the wind.

I'm a-sparkling and a-shining,

like the Texas queen that I am,

and I'm slaying this dance choreography.

- Goodness. At the end of this rehearsal,

I feel so confident in what I've done.

You know, like, me and Jamal worked really well together.

I took on direction really well.

So I've got no fears going into this video.

Actually, I've got fears for the others.

They better be ready. [laughs]

- I just want tomorrow to come around now.

It's like Christmas Eve.

Get the finale here!

I need to prove to the world why I'm here,

and that UK drag is the best in the world,

and that I can keep up with Alyssa Bloody Edwards.

- So good!

- Whoever snatches the crown,

I'm gonna be so pleased for whoever it is,

especially if it's me.

- [laughing]

- [laughing]

[upbeat music]

[cheering]

- Last day! - Yes.

- OK. It's time.

It's the finale.

It's the day.

[upbeat music]

- Well, this is a very new feeling for me.

This time I'm in the finale

and not sitting at home watching it.

How about that?

- Does it feel right?

- I woke up like a kid on the first day of school.

I mean, did you ever imagine

that we'd all be sitting here like this?

- I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be sitting next

to you, Miss Alyssa Edwards. - Thank you.

- Baby.

- Whoever snatches the crown...

- Yes.

- I'm gonna be so pleased for whoever it is...

- Yeah, I agree.

- Especially if it's me.

- [chuckling]

Oh, my God, there's so much more space

now that the other bitches are gone.

[laughs] There's only four of us left.

And, look, to be honest, this is the top four

that I was imagining.

- As we were all sitting down to get

painted for the last time--

[cheering, all gasp]

The nerves, the excitement, the energy that you can feel

is un-describable.

[indistinct chatter]

- These girls have been coming in here

more and more every week.

I thought they'd been eliminated, Ru,

yet here they are again.

Get them home.

- So I want to know from the finalists

how you are doing today.

Like, this is the big finale, girls.

- Oh, I feel emotional today.

I keep thinking about how far I've come.

I keep thinking about everything

and everyone that's helped me.

And so this is a big moment for me.

And I'm really feeling all of it at once.

I feel really focused. I feel really ready.

But I've just been working so hard--we all worked hard.

But, like, you know, the journey

from my season to here... [sniffles]

I just feel really proud of myself today.

- You should. - Yeah.

- You should be.

- Miss Nelly, hi, baby.

- Hi.

[interposing voices]

- I feel glad.

I am the underdog for the track record,

but believe me, I fight for this crown.

For me, it's already a victory.

I'm feeling like a winner.

And also, I'm very glad to have met you.

And I want to continue to be in touch with all of you.

- Let's see. [laughter]

- Not with you.

- It's so cute we're all here back together,

and, like, we can celebrate today together.

As much as I complain, it is actually

nice to share this moment with my global sisters.

- This will be something that we will all be able to remember

for the rest of our life, that we shared

a moment in time together. - Yeah.

- The very first season of "Global All Stars."

- Whoo! - That's great.

- And, ladies, for the very last time

on the very first "Global All Stars,"

let the painting commence.

[cheering]

- Yes!

- The passion, the nerves, and the energy in this room,

I can feel it.

I'm in the homestretch of this race, and it's showtime.

we challenged our top four All Stars to write, record,

and star in the music video

"Dance Like the World is Watching."

And tonight on the runway,

all 12 of our Global All Stars are here.

And category is "Best Drag on Earth."

All Stars, start your engines,

- From Brazil, Miranda.

- I am bald because Ru wants to see more skin.

So here it is.

- [laughing]

From the Philippines, Eva Le Queen.

- How much it cost for just one musketeer?

- [chuckling] From Mexico, Gala Varo.

- This outfit is lit. - Wow.

- I'm storming, because I'm a volcano.

In Mexico, we have a lot of volcanoes.

- If your eruption lasts for more than four hours,

call a doctor.

- Gala is lava-va-va-va!

[laughs]

- Smoke gets in her thighs.

- She's a lava, not a fighter.

- She's smoking hot.

- Eruption. You're the one done did it.

[laughter]

- ♪ 'Cause you're a star, baby ♪

From Canada, Pythia.

- Bow-wow-wow.

- For my best drag on Earth, I am serving you

the Greek mythological dog

merged with a Canadian Eskimo dog.

So I feel so cool. [laughs]

- Michelle, I triple-dog-dare you.

- I'll do it.

- You know, there are three things I dislike about Pythia--

her face.

[laughter]

From Sweden, Vanity Vain.

- Oh, my Gaga.

- For my final global runway,

I'm serving you the pop-star realness Lady Gaga vibe,

Madonna vibe,

after Labor Day? - Yes.

- She's just gotten out of a bad romance.

- Representing Germany, Tessa T.

Well, I do declare.

- What a lady!

- I am walking this runway for the final time.

I am fully transformed into the monarch, into the queen,

into the royal butterfly.

- Nobody mentioned her cocoon.

- [chuckles]

- Her milkweed brings all the butterflies to the yard.

- [speaking Spanish]

- Now, our top four All Stars.

From the USA, Alyssa Edwards.

- Where my purple at? Where my purple at?

- I'm going out the way I walked into this--

the true Southern Glamazon pageant queen.

- ♪ Purple train, purple train ♪

[chuckles]

- My shoulders are back. My head is held high.

- Purple is the color of royalty.

- ♪ Ooh ♪

[laughing]

- She spared no frills making this dress.

- No, she didn't.

From the UK, it's Kitty Scott-Claus.

- Who is the best drag queen on Earth?

Barbie, of course.

I'm serving Kacey Musgraves Met Gala realness.

Oh!

- She's pinky and leather tuscadero, two for one.

- I feel like every time I get into drag that I am Barbie.

It doesn't matter what situation I'm in,

I can do it all because I have the power of drag.

And so why not celebrate Barbie

on this fucking massive scale?

And that scale being my shoulders.

- Rise of the Pink Lady.

- This pink vinyl--

mm, I'm sweating under here,

but you wouldn't know because Botox.

But it's still bloody fabulous.

- From Down Under, Kween Kong.

- Tonight I am serving you pure Polynesian royalty.

- Long live the queen!

- This garment has all of my family crest,

every little bit of my ancestry in it.

So I'm standing and walking in my power.

This is definitely a garment that deserves to be crowned.

- Love the hair.

It's giving Medusa. - Yeah.

- From Italy, Nehellenia.

- For my runway, I just wear my favorite color.

- Who ordered the cream puff?

- I look like a princess. I'm so beautiful.

- My big, fat Italian wedding. - [chuckling]

- I want to walk like Cinderella

enters in the palace.

I'm walking slowly.

I look in front of me.

And I will enjoy this runway.

- Oh, my gosh.

- That was so good. - So good.

- Well done. - Wow.

- My God.

- Tonight we need to decide

which queens will lip-sync for the crown.

Now it's time for the judges' critiques,

starting with Alyssa Edwards.

- It is no surprise to me that you are here in the top four.

You came out of the box at Opening Ceremony Look,

and I knew immediately, this Alyssa Edwards

did not come to play.

Even the times where you were safe and you felt like you

were letting yourself down, you were not.

It has been unbelievable.

- In this music video, you created something that people

could repeat at home, and that was the challenge.

And you nailed it.

- I feel like I've seen you and I followed you

throughout the years.

And you just get better with the time.

From the makeup, the hair, the choreography,

you embody the word "excellence."

- Who better...

to represent the United States of America?

A Texas girl. - [laughs]

- Oh, you didn't miss a beat this time.

This outfit, everything.

The silhouette here, how you have that leg showing,

those gorgeous legs.

You got it together, lady.

Well, thank you, Alyssa.

- Thank you. Thank all of you.

- Up next, Kitty Scott-Claus.

- It's been so much fun seeing how you've grown as a performer

and as a drag queen.

Some of the looks that I felt were

very elevated for Kitty Scott-Claus was

your Eat Me, which you won.

Your Blow Me Away--

that beautiful rhinestone jumpsuit was so gorgeous.

So to see you on this level of glamour

is very much elevated for Kitty Scott-Claus.

- Let's talk about this music video.

You came out balls to the wall.

It was amazing.

And I loved in your TikTok dance

that you added dances that people would know at home,

that they can catch on to.

That was what we were trying to do,

and you executed that very well.

And then tonight you look gorgeous.

One of my favorite movies is "Grease,"

and you look like a beautiful Pink Lady.

[laughter]

- It doesn't surprise me that you are in the top four,

because you got it all.

You got the brains, beauty, and the body

and the sense of humor.

You got it, kiddo.

- Oh, thank you so much.

Honestly, I can't even put into words

how much it means to be here.

And I've had the best bloody time here

with these incredible queens.

Not all of them great, but the rest of them,

they're all up here, they're all up here.

- You really are all of the Spice Girls

mixed together into one.

- Oh.

That's the best compliment ever.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, Ru. Thank you, judges.

- Up next, Kween Kong,

representing Down Under.

- G'day.

- Kween, you have a natural groove that you can't teach.

You have a swag about you.

I think in the music video what shines through is your heart.

And that's what shone through through the whole season.

Your heart is gold.

And I am so impressed.

Thank you so much for everything you did this season.

Amazing job. - Thank you so much, Jamal.

Thank you.

- You're truly a queen.

And you're just so fierce.

You can be sweet and gentle, like Jamal's saying,

but you go down the runway.

You're so fierce. You have so much talent.

And good luck tonight.

- It is so amazing to see you in this light like this,

throughout this entire competition--the confidence.

Your verse in the video was so fun because it was so powerful.

Pacific Royalty, that's what you are.

Know it. Own it.

You do your mother and your sister

and your whole family so proud.

- Thank you, Michelle. Thank you so much.

[sniffles]

Ooh, girl.

- You know, that kindness that comes through

is directly coming from your mother and your sister

and the people who have helped you.

There's also a strength that comes from your ancestry.

And you wear it so proudly.

Here tonight, you look like the queen that you are.

And it's brilliant.

It's brilliant.

You have ascended to the place where you belong.

- The past two years, as quickly as I've grown,

this is me at year two.

I can only imagine what I'm gonna get like

when I'm at year 23, like Alyssa.

This is what I was meant to do.

And this was my thank-you to you,

just because I know I'm winning at life after this.

So, yeah.

I love you so much, Ru. Thank you so much.

- Thank you. Thank you. I love you, too.

Thank you.

- Up next, Nehellenia.

- Ciao. - Ciao.

- You might have come into this competition feeling

like an underdog, but you quickly realized,

if I'm gonna be an underdog

or if they're gonna underestimate me,

they better look out.

And you have done it.

In the video, you were adorable,

like a little pop princess.

And then tonight you look like a little anime princess,

in this gown that's so beautiful.

Brava!

- Thank you.

- Britney Spears fantasy fulfilled.

Check.

OK?

No fear, no insecurities.

You walked up on that stage and took control.

And the dance-- the dance was hard.

It was hard.

But a sign of a good dancer is you make it look easy.

And that's what you did.

You deserve to be here.

So well done.

- Thank you.

- You should be very proud of yourself,

because I know what it feels to come from a different culture,

different language.

I'm sure everyone in Italy is very proud of you,

and this is just the beginning for your career as well.

- Thank you so much.

- Nehellenia.

- Mama. - Here you stand--

funny, gorgeous, and everyone watching,

not only in Italy but around the world,

has fallen in love with Nehellenia.

Fallen in love. - [cries softly]

- In the music video, I could see all the years

of that little child watching television,

watching Britney videos.

Not yet a girl but also not yet a woman.

[laughter]

- And I'm still not a woman.

[laughter] - Aw.

Beautiful.

It was gorgeous.

- I want to say thank you to everybody.

Only that.

Sorry, I can't speak right now.

- That said it all.

That said it all.

Thank you. - Thank you, too.

[cries]

[soft music]

- I just want to add to all of you--

what you have all displayed here on this stage

is the promise of a world

filled with beauty and love and kindness and creativity.

It's the world that we were all promised.

You are all such perfect representatives

of what the future could hold

for all those kids out there,

seeing the possibilities, what you can create.

Little paint and powder and a whole lot of courage.

That's what you represent.

You are all winners.

You should be very proud of yourself.

All right, ladies, one last question.

The world is watching.

Why do we need drag...

now more than ever?

Let's start with Alyssa.

- From Mesquite, Texas,

there was nobody like me on television.

I had a father that put Superman in front of me,

and that was not my superhero.

There will be another Justin

that will be at home in some small town somewhere

with the same father and upbringing that will watch this

and go, because this person is brave and courageous,

maybe I can be as well.

- Thank you.

Kitty Scott-Claus?

- It's freedom, and it's allowing

self-expression to whoever.

It doesn't matter who you are,

what walk of life you come from.

It doesn't matter your sex, your age,

your gender, your belief-- everyone can do drag.

Drag can change your life.

Like, before I was doing drag,

I was just a musical-theater boy.

And they were always like, no, you're too camp,

and you're too gay, and you're too femme and everything.

And then I put a wig on, and fuck me.

It changed my life, like...

I wish the world could feel the love that drag can bring.

And it is a laugh. - It is.

- [chuckles] - Absolutely.

Thank you, Kitty. - Thank you.

- Kween Kong, same question.

- You know, I think the answer to that question

is really simple.

We deserve a world where we feel safe, loved,

protected, and celebrated.

Drag is powerful.

You know, there is a responsibility

with this platform.

And I take it very seriously as much as I don't.

[chuckling] So that's drag.

- I love it. Beautiful.

Thank you. - Thank you.

- Nehellenia.

- Drag saved the life of the little me, the little Emanuele.

When I think that I don't have a voice,

drag teach me that, baby, you have a voice.

And you can scream with this voice.

Drag is something that can make you feel better,

can make you feel safe but also strong

and give you power.

- Thank you.

All right, well, thank you, All Stars.

I think we've heard enough. You may leave the stage.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Oh, my God. - Oh.

- Girl!

- Oh, my God. - Oh, my goodness.

- I can't get over it. - Final critiques.

- This is officially

the last untuck of the first season

of "Global All Stars."

And I'm here.

- You got enough dress there? - Right.

- I made it.

- What a journey this has been.

And to share it with all of you, wow.

I just keep saying that because, I don't know.

Maybe I'll never do this again. - Yeah.

- You did it, babe. Oh, my God. You did that.

- We all did it. - Yeah.

- We all did so well.

- I know I'll be able to walk away from this

and close this chapter with a "happily ever after."

But it's so true, timing is everything.

And this is my time.

- Hello, ladies.

- I'm coming.

- The riffraff arrives.

- This. - Wowie.

- Please. - Our top four.

all: Yes!

- How do you feel after the judges' critiques?

- It's too emotional.

I've just been crying all fucking day.

Literally, they said so many beautiful things, you know,

about my family.

You know, Ru said that she loved me.

There was a lot of good things.

I'm just, like, processing because,

you know, I just feel really proud.

I am so full, like, just full.

Like, energetically, I'm exhausted.

But, like, emotionally, I just feel--

I'm overflowing.

My cup is just pouring with everything.

I just--I feel like I've got this in the bag.

- Nelly, how was it for you? - I got very emotional.

I'm very glad. The most feeling is glad.

I already know that I was talented.

But now I know that I'm also strong.

- To hear, like, the judges say all those lovely, lovely things

about you, it's also very British not to be

able to take compliments.

And so I'm just there, like, all right, shut up.

Like, I'll make a joke about it.

But then it's like, aw--

it means the world to me to be here

and to be sat with all of you.

I feel like I've done so well.

My critiques have been so good and so--

so positive that...

oh, I just hope I've done enough to lip-sync.

- So how is this gonna work? Is it a lip sync for two?

Are you all lip-syncing? Do we know this yet?

- I think they're gonna cut us down to a two.

- RuPaul say, we need to decide who will be...

- Lip-syncing. - The lip-syncing.

- Ooh.

- Who do you want to go against in a lip sync?

- I'm not worried about anybody.

- There's $200,000 on the line and a crown.

If you are nervous about lip-syncing, girl...

- This is not the room for you if you are nervous...

- Exactly - About lip-syncing.

- Right. - Girl, you said it.

- Girl!

- Yes.

And I think some girls need to get ready for the lip sync

for the crown, right? - Absolutely.

- I want to see a show!

[cheering]

- My top four Global All Stars,

I've made some decisions.

[dramatic music]

[laughing]

- [laughing]

Welcome back, All Stars.

- Hello. - Hi.

- First, I'd like to thank our viewers

who donated to All Out,

the international LGBT+ organization.

- Yes! - Yes.

- By using the "Drag Saves the World" QR code,

your contributions help make the world a better place

for queer people everywhere.

Ladykins, this week you were all

asked to vote for the All Star that you think

was the most kind and compassionate.

Unfortunately, we couldn't come up with one of those people.

[laughter]

- Damn. - The votes are in.

goes to...

Miss Congeniality in the same time?

I feel like a winner.

Yep.

- Thank you, queens.

You may leave the stage.

- Gracias.

- Thank you.

- Now, my top four Global All Stars,

based on your performances this week

and all season long, I've made some decisions.

Alyssa Edwards.

Kween Kong. - [gasps]

Kitty Scott-Claus. [all gasp]

Nehellenia. - What?

- I need to see all of you...

[cheering]

Lip-sync one more time.

- Let's go. - This is gonna be good.

- Four Global All Stars stand before me.

- We're lip-syncing by ourselves.

At least if you're lip-syncing with someone else,

you can have a bit of banter, a bit of back-and-forth,

but not when you're by yourself.

What am I gonna do? Oh, my God.

- Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me

and win a cash prize of $200,000.

- [whistles] - Whoo. Whoo.

- The time has come...

For you to lip-sync...

for...the...crown!
