And what?

Thank you. Thank you.

Welcome to the grand finale

of our eleven-gendary season.

To the millions of fans watching on VH1

and around the globe,

I want to say thank you.

Because of you, our little drag show

has become a cultural phenomenon.

Because of you,

140 Ru Girls are spreading their...

charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent,

for all the world to see.

And because of you,

A TV show of queer people, by queer people,

and for queer people

has won nine Emmy awards.

Can you believe it?

Yeah, but...

we don't do it for the trophies, henny.

We do it for love.

Everybody say love.

Love!

Everybody say love.

Love!

Now take that down the 405 and cross the border,

get your ass outta here.

Now, our top four,

A'Keria, Brooke Lynn, Silky, and Yvie are backstage.

getting ready for the ultimate lip sync smackdown

for the crown. That's right.

Two by two, they will face off and lip sync the house down.

Why y'all gagging so?

She bring it to you every ball.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win.

[RuPaul] The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race

receives a one-year supply

of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics

and a cash prize of $100.000.

♪ RuPaul's Drag Race ♪

♪ May the best woman ♪

♪ Best woman win ♪

Tonight, our top four queens will face off

in the most epic lip sync smackdown in herstory.

But first, we want to celebrate

the journey that brought them here.

Starting with the queen that nobody saw coming.

Quiet storm, A'Keria C. Davenport.

Take a look.

[A'Keria] Winning to me matters, because I'm not made to lose.

It's simply my time.

Growing up, I was surrounded by a lot of strong women.

My mom and granny taught me how to never give up

and keep fighting,

to live life without regrets.

So they taught me

to know I was born for this.

Time to take over Hollywood.

I'm more than just a pageant queen.

I am the ultimate queen.

I've won titles from city to city, state to state.

Check my background. Google me.

Pageants taught me how to be prim and poised and elegant.

Drag Race taught me not to be afraid.

It's okay to act an ass.

It allowed me to be free and let loose.

It also taught me how to twerk these ass-ets.

And I'm not afraid to twerk these ho's

right out this competition.

These queens are pure fools for underestimating me.

Like my mama used to always say,

"It's them quiet ones you gotta watch, pooh."

'Cause I'm not just a mug and a body.

I also have a beautiful mind.

They're not going to know

what hit those pretty little tucks.

When I'm in drag,

there's not one thing that I cannot do.

You making that hot dog look good.

Your booty's looking good.

Mmm.

[chokes]

Aw sh-- This bitch chokin'.

But when the heat is on,

I'm like fresh baked goods, baby.

I rise straight to the occasion.

[laughs]

See I told you, twerkin' is a blessing, baby.

Indeed it is. Indeed it is.

Whoo!

Wow!

Now gimme this dog.

I hate to watch you leave, but I love to watch you walk away.

'Cause your ass looks good. That's what that means.

Baby, I'm hungry, and I came to eat greedy.

And I have never backed down from a fight.

[laughs]

I'm ready to sissy that walk, just like Mama Ru.

This is it.

You're about to see the rise of the phoenix.

It's something that I possess inside myself

that no other queen has had.

I'm talkin' about my countryness,

my insecurities,

and I represent for everybody

who has ever been underestimated

and the black queers who feel like they were never enough,

and allow that to push them to where they need to go.

My head is ready for that crown.

And my hand is ready for that scepter.

Oh, she's ready. Are you?

[RuPaul] Ladies and gentlemen,

A'Keria C. Davenport.

[RuPaul laughs]

Now, how do you plan to use that big fat ass

in tonight's lip sync smackdown?

You know what, Mama Ru?

I'ma do just what I did to get to this point.

Twerk my way to the top.

[RuPaul laughs]

[cheers and applause]

Gorgeous, gorgeous...

Now, who's here supporting you tonight?

Well, I have my mother here, and also my granny.

Well, hello, Mama and Grandma A'Keria.

How you all doing?

Blessed, and yourself?

Could the church say amen?

Amen!

Now, Grandma, was it ever hard to accept

A'Keria as a drag queen?

No, it comes from a granny's instinct.

I knew it before he knew it.

[RuPaul] Well, by the looks of things,

glamour runs in the family, doesn't it?

-Yes, quite naturally, yes. -It does, it does.

Yeah. [laughs]

But where does she get that big ol' booty from?

[applause]

Now, A'Keria, any final words?

Just know, tonight is the rise of the phoenix.

Ooh.

Ladies and gentlemen,

give it up for A'Keria C. Davenport.

[music plays]

♪ Because I'm what? ♪

♪ Because I'm what? Because I'm what? ♪

♪ Sickening, bitch! ♪

[RuPaul] Did you know that in the 1960s

congregating at a gay bar was illegal?

You could go to jail, lose your job

or worse.

But all that started to change.

50 years ago on June 28, 1969,

in New York City, the police once again

raided the Stonewall Inn.

But this time, the queers at the bar fought back.

That night, the first brick was thrown.

And a revolution was born.

[chanting] We're staying here, we're queer.

[RuPaul] Through the decades,

in the face of hatred,

activists raised their voices and spilled their blood.

[chanting] How many more have to die?

[RuPaul] So that you could live with pride,

love who you love,

and yes, even watch RuPaul's Drag Race

at your favorite gay bar.

When I got the invitation to visit,

I couldn't resist.

Wait, did somebody just say resist?

[laughs]

[RuPaul] So when someone tells you to vote,

don't roll your eyes.

[chanting] Equality!

-When do we want it? -Now.

[RuPaul] We can't stop fighting

until everybody understands

that LGBTQ rights are human rights.

Can I get an amen?

[Orpheum audience] Amen!

[RuPaul] I thought I could.

Our next top four contender is a Canadian prima donna

who kept us all on our toes:

Brooke Lynn Hytes. Take a look, eh?

[Brooke Lynn Hytes] Don't hate me because I'm perfect.

Because I'm not.

Hate me because I'm beautiful.

There's a lot more to me than meets the eye.

I am bubbly, I'm excited.

Nervous, creative.

I'm not just a cold-hearted bitch.

I'm so much more.

I started dancing when I was 14 years old.

Dancing ballet for so many years professionally

took such a toll on my body that

eventually I had to find something new to do.

And that's when I discovered drag.

I started doing drag in the pageant world.

Doing pageants and ballet,

I learned how to be very controlled

and how to present myself a certain way.

And then I came to Drag Race,

and I had to throw everything I knew out the window.

I started off really, really strong in this competition.

But I'm a perfectionist, and every time I stumbled,

it really threw me.

One of the criticisms I got

was that I wasn't willing to let loose.

So right now I'm just doing whatever I can

to get ready for this moment.

I am training, I'm working hard.

[grunts]

Eye of the Tigering it, you know.

-Let's try this. -Okay.

Maybe you've heard of a little phrase called,

"I love New York."

"I love New York"?

I love New York!

I love New York?

It's not easy for me to look messy.

But I'm willing to adapt.

I love Brooke Lynn.

I love New York!

I love Brooke Lynn!

You better back the fuck up, because I swear--

What are you gonna do? I love Brooke Lynn.

What are you gonna do?

I'm doing everything I can

to prepare for the final phase of the competition.

I'm hitting the streets

and learning to put some "stank" on it,

as someone told me I needed to.

Oh, oh, oh.

-West Coast! -West Coast!

And it really did stink. I think someone peed there.

I'm ready for the world.

I love seeing my name in lights.

I'm a star, I promise!

Just give me a chance!

I am so focused.

I have my eye on the prize.

It's just me and that crown, like a laser beam.

And nothing is going to distract me from my goal.

Oh, look at the shoes, bitch!

I'm in hooker shoe heaven.

During the course of the competition,

I have grown stronger.

I have taken every failure and I have learned from it.

And it has made me more and more fearless.

Ah!

Ah! I don't like it!

Ah! I'm gonna die!

Going into the finale,

I plan on lighting myself on fire.

How do we feel about bees?

Do we like bees?

Maybe like locusts?

This is what I've spent every waking moment working towards

for the last decade of my life.

And I'm ready.

It's about to get very cold in here

'cause the queen of the north is here.

Winter is coming.

Ladies and gentlemen, all rise for Brooke Lynn Hytes.

[RuPaul laughs]

Now, I called you a lip sync assassin this season.

How do you plan to come out on top tonight?

Do you mean besides the loose pearls and razor blades?

-Yes, besides all of that. -Besides that.

Yes.

Well, the stage is where I'm most comfortable.

This is my home, so I'm just going to go out here

and live my very best life.

This only happens once,

and I'm just gonna give it my all.

So, who's here supporting you tonight?

-I have my mommy here. -Ah.

-Hi, Mother Hytes. -Hi.

Now, you said raising a gay child changed your life.

How's that?

I used to think that I was there to form and raise my children,

but, for me, I have four children,

and each one of them has been used to mold and shape me.

Can I get an amen up in here?

[crowd] Amen!

Thank you, Mother Hytes. Mwah.

Thank you.

Brooke Lynn, before we go into

our Battle Royale for the crown...

-Yes. -...do you have any final words?

I just want to say how grateful I am to be here.

I'm the first Canadian on RuPaul's Drag Race.

And I never thought I would be able to be on this show

just because I wasn't American,

so I'm just gonna soak this night in

'cause I worked so hard and I'm coming with all I have.

[cheering]

[RuPaul] Well, full disclosure.

Um, when we cast you for this show,

I.C.E. wasn't as powerful as they are now.

So...

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Brooke Lynn Hytes.

Welcome back to the grand finale

of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Now, this year my courageous friend Michelle Visage

decided to undergo explant surgery,

to have her breast implants removed.

To help other women who may be suffering

from breast implant illness,

she's sharing her story in an upcoming documentary.

Now, Michelle, you know we love you,

but this is Drag Race.

And we're gonna miss celebrating those two tig old bitties, girl.

Take a look.

Her boob job is so old,

her breasts are filled with asbestos.

It's true.

♪ Night after night ♪

♪ I close my eyes ♪

[RuPaul] Star of the classic film Boobarella,

a woman whose cans are definitely museum-worthy,

it's Miss Golden Globes, Michelle Visage.

Take two of these and call me in the morning.

Those aren't breasts. These are breasts.

-Oh, girl! -These are breasts!

I don't wanna see boobs when I'm at Drag Race.

And you get some boobs, and you get some boobs!

And you get some boobs!

[applause] [RuPaul laughs]

Now, Michelle, is it okay that we

made light of your situation?

Absolutely, laughter is healing, darling.

Oh, good, because I promise from now on

no more big-boob jokes.

Now, is there anything you want to get off your chest?

[laughing]

Actually, yes.

If there are any women out there that want information,

they can check out organizations like

healingbreastimplantillness.com

and just to let you know, Ru,

I will always be your "breast" Judy.

[RuPaul] Aw!

Womp, womp.

Love you.

And now the countdown to the crown continues

with our next contender:

the Reverend Dr. Silky Nutmeg Ganache.

I'm a big queen, big beauty,

big personality, big star quality, honey.

Along the way, y'all have called me loud,

obnoxious, messy, unpolished,

a camera hog,

which I am.

Say what you wanna say,

y'all ain't never had a dull moment

when I was on the screen.

♪ Chicken wings ♪

♪ Collard greens ♪

♪ That's what I'm gonna eat after tonight ♪

I grew up big, black, and gay in the Deep South,

and that was really, really tough.

My big personality was the only way I knew

how to protect myself.

And it's got me sitting here where I am today,

and I own exactly who I am.

Even the many imperfections.

People say I lack polish, and I can admit that.

Polish? I can get polish, honey.

[classical music plays]

Moving from the plate outward,

we have the dinner fork,

and then we have the salad fork.

Salad? I don't eat no damn salad.

-What? -Mm-mm.

In this competition, I've had quite the few highs

and quite a few lows.

Child, look, we know my lip sync was horrible.

I know it. I can admit it.

But tonight, just know

I have been waiting a very long time

to redeem myself,

to prove to each and every one of you

that I am strong enough to carry the crown.

I want to win RuPaul's Drag Race

because I want to be an inspiration

for those who was told you can't do it,

whether you was too fat, too black,

too light, too ashy, too gay.

I want to show the world

that you can win being your authentic self.

I'm really grateful for this moment,

and I'm really grateful

for the experience that I've been through.

Everything has been leading me to this moment.

This is the biggest fight of my life,

and I am truly, truly ready.

I ain't never wanted anything more.

Big Silk with the good milk for the good win, baby.

I got my four eyes on the prize.

Ting.

She's feeling full of life, baby.

[RuPaul] Oh, okay.

Tell me this.

How do you plan on polishing off

these other girls in the competition?

I just have to remember, Silky, have fun.

[RuPaul] Silky, have fun. I like that.

So, Silky, who's here supporting you tonight?

I have my beautiful mother

and my inspirational older brother.

[RuPaul] Ahh. Hello.

Now, what was Silky like growing up with?

Did you guys fight or what was the relationship?

Well, I was fine until 1989.

Oh. What happened then?

Silky was born.

[laughter and applause]

Bitch.

[laughter and applause]

Now, Mama Ganache,

I heard that you had to explain what Silky does for a living

to your mother.

How did you do that?

What did you tell her?

I told her that you have to look at it

like we got the best of both worlds.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

That's right.

Now, Silky, any final words?

I just want you all to know

no matter how loud people may say you are,

how obnoxious they may say you are,

let your light shine.

You have a place on this earth.

[cheers and applause]

[RuPaul] Give it up for Silky Nutmeg Ganache.

Zoom out. That was serious.

I'm out here telling people to vote for me.

Vote for what? Where's the votes going?

I don't even know. But guess what?

We gonna make it to the finale.

We need to get there. Let's go!

Baby, get off Grindr.

Hi. How are you?

Good. How are you?

-You know who I am? -I do know who you are.

Good. Are you watching the season?

I am.

-Are you Team Vanjie? -I am.

Are you an extra in Orange Is The New Black?

Yes, all of it.

You are fine as hell.

Are you single or taken?

I'm taken. I'm sorry.

It don't even matter.

What's a Vanjie?

The winner of Season 11 and your wife, me.

Oh.

Are you two devastated people

because I'm not in the finale?

Yes, exactly.

I'm devastated.

-So say "I was devastated." -I was devastated.

"I went into a deep, deep dark depression

at 11 years old, Ru."

I went into a deep, dark depression

at 11 years old, Ru.

And just make a sad face.

Wrigley, do you think that I was robbed on the show?

Give Vanjie the crown.

Do you want to see my face on that wheel when they spin it?

Yes.

Put this face on the wheel.

Do you think there's space for five ho's on the wheel?

No, there's only space for you.

We don't even need the game.

[cheers and applause]

Don't mind me. I'm just here in my natural habitat

sitting on my royal throne.

Ready for the crown.

Call in to...

Honk if you want me.

Honk, motherfuckers.

I'm just gonna leave the way I came in, y'all.

Y'all know.

Miss Vanjie. Miss Vanjie.

[cheers and applause]

Bye!

Whoo!

And now for something completely different.

This final top four contender

puts the freak in freakin' fabulous.

Yvie Oddly. Let's take a look.

I'm not your typical queen.

I've always been a little bit different,

but that's because normal is boring.

[laughs]

It's people who have different views

and different aesthetics and different feelings

that really show us

all the possibilities of the human experience.

I grew up a very artsy kid,

and I was always playing dress-up

and making and creating things.

So getting to do drag and play dress-up

as a career is like so full circle.

My parents don't really talk

and haven't seen each other for half a decade,

but both of them support me.

My dad, he's like fan-dad.

He's got my T-shirts

and he forces his whole motorcycle club to watch,

even if they're not into that gay stuff.

[laughs]

When it comes to style,

I've always gone for alternative standards of beauty.

I'm willing to push the artform,

push my peers, and push myself

to do things we've never done before.

And if my edges are a little sharp, then...

all the better to cut you with, my dear.

In preparing to get to this stage of the competition,

I'm working with a professional spiritualist

to try and find my Zen.

You need to release your anger and judgments.

Your drag is tired, you look old,

and you're never gonna make it to the finale.

But at the end of the day,

I'm still an opinionated drag queen.

That's not changing any time soon.

I spent a lifetime honing a very bold voice,

so I've been learning how to communicate

in a more approachable way.

Everyone knows I know how to stand out in a crowd.

but I'm learning how to fit in every now and then, too.

I don't know why people are so scared of me.

Free hugs.

Anyone?

[laughs]

I've dreamt about winning this competition

since I was 17, since I saw Drag Race

and was like, oh, that where I need to be.

And while my journey hasn't been

anything like what I dreamt it would be,

I'm still here at the end of it,

and I want this to be a good dream.

[laughs]

Because I've always been in a lot of pain

and because I've always had a limit

on what my body can do and how long it can do it for,

I realize better than most

the importance of milking the now.

I've had to overcome

every single obstacle that's been thrown at me,

including the ones I threw at myself,

and I'm ready to leap this final hurdle

and finish in first.

See you at the finale, bitches.

[evil laugh]

the lip sync competition?

Well, now that I've shed my steely exterior...

[RuPaul] Uh-huh.

I mean, not to be too cliche,

but I plan to leave my heart on the stage,

and my flesh and my bones.

[laughter and applause]

Now, Yvie, I understand

your mom and dad are here supporting you.

Where are they?

-There they are. -Oh, wow!

Are you surprised to see them?

Yeah, like sitting right next to each other.

[laughter]

They haven't talked in like five years.

Well, like I always say,

RuPaul's Drag Race: bringing families together

whether they want to or not.

[cheers and applause]

Now, Papa Oddly,

I hear you play Yvie and Brooke Lynn's lip sync

for your motorcycle club?

That sounds really hot.

They have had to watch an episode or two.

Give it up for Mama and Papa Oddly.

[cheers and applause]

Thank you.

So, Yvie.

Yes?

Any final words?

I know this journey hasn't been

like 100% pretty for me,

but it feels so good to be in the position I am

and I feel like I'm following the universe's call.

Right on.

[cheers and applause]

Give it up for Yvie Oddly.

-♪ Queens! ♪ -♪ Everywhere, everywhere ♪

Welcome back to the grand finale

of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Now put your hands together for our top four queens!

[cheers and applause]

Ladies, you've waited all season for this moment.

But first, to explain the rules

of our lip sync smackdown for the crown,

I'm proud to present one of LADP's finest.

Hi, RuPaul. It's Cheyenne.

Or Officer Jackson, if you're nasty.

I'm here to explain

how tonight's lip sync smackdown for the crown

is going to work.

First, a spin of the wheel determines

which two sexy suspects deliver an arresting performance

in lip sync number one.

After they're done,

the remaining two persons of interest

compete in their own lip sync faceoff.

Then in the final round, the two winning queens

battle in the ultimate lip sync for the crown.

Bonus points for a cooter slam.

The winner receives a sentence

of one year as America's next drag superstar.

By the way,

I'm not wearing any pants.

Back to you, Ru.

Thank you, Officer Jackson.

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

Where the wheel stops will determine

which queen lip syncs first.

Ladies, ready?

Yes.

All right. Here we go. I love this part.

Oh, we're still going.

[RuPaul] The wheel has spoken.

Silky, you will be competing

in tonight's first lip sync for the crown.

And now it's time to decide

which queen

you will lip sync against.

All right, Silky?

Who do you choose?

[crowd yelling names]

[cheers]

[RuPaul] All right.

Brooke Lynn, it's on.

That means Yvie and A'Keria,

you two will face off in tonight's second lip sync

coming up next.

You may leave the stage.

All right, Brooke Lynn, it's your turn to choose.

Oh, pit crew.

Wow.

What beautiful boxes you have.

Now, Brooke Lynn,

each of these boxes

contains two legendary lip sync songs.

-Are you ready to pick? -I am.

Okay, good.

Do you choose box number one?

Or box 96?

[cheers and applause]

Well, Ru, I do love a ginger.

So I'm going to go with box 96.

All right, Bryce. Open the box.

You've chosen Bootylicious by Destiny's Child.

I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Thank you, pit crew.

Okay, ladies. Assume the position.

Two queens stand behind me.

That always makes me laugh.

[mic off, no audio]

Two queens stand behind me.

Ladies, this is your last chance

to impress me,

save yourself from elimination.

The time has come... [thunder]

to lip sync...

[echoing] for the crown!

All right, ladies...

good luck,

and don't fuck it up.
