[Vanjie singing]

I am Miss Vanjie,

the...

diva.

Who is following me?

Interview one.

The only interview you're probably gonna end up needing.

Because I narrate the season,

I'm gonna narrate this shit, too.

I've been going since Season 10.

Most girls from Season 10,

at this point, they're probably--

you know, they had moments to slow down,

they've probably chilled.

No, bitch, I've been Season 10, then went to film 11.

So I've been going nonstop, which is a blessing,

because, you know, it doesn't really feel like work.

I mean, the moments that you get tired,

by the time the music and the lights come on,

like, all that goes away.

[Vanjie] This is the best tour out there.

They have dancers.

It makes me feel like Britney Spears, Beyoncé, and JLo

all in the same night.

♪ Hey, hey Despite what you think ♪

Vanjie, unapologetically herself.

She's a real one. Tasmanian devil, for sure.

[hums]

Oh, my God.

She is blblblblbl.

Like, that is her, all day long.

She just, like, radiates that nutty energy

that you don't get from, like, a lot of people.

I stand before you

feeling my Snoop Doggy Dogg realness.

[chuckles] Vanjie is trouble.

And what you see on TV

is a tenth of what you get in real life.

So with that being said, where's the blunt?

[Vanjie] It's not no shit show thrown together for a gig production.

It's not like the other ones.

The other ones are a little rinky-dinky.

Y'all know what rinky-dinky is.

I don't need to tell you.

You know what rinky-dinky is.

I called Asia, and I was, like,

"I hope I get considered for Werq the World."

And in my head I'm thinking,

bitch, I made it to the end on the new season,

but I wasn't in the fucking final four.

So I was, like, hoping for the best.

But here I am!

And my number is fierce.

[Jasper speaking]

Yeah, of course I was upset.

Um... But I was proud of myself.

Oops. [laughs]

[Vanjie] I think...

[Yvie] Was it a bummer?

It-it was, um, it was a bummer,

because you were the only person out of that top five

who was more than just words

when they were, like, "Yeah, it feels like we're family

-because we made it this far." -[Vanjie] No.

Because Brooklyn never talked to me,

A'Keria and Silky, like, never talked to me,

even though we, like, made up or whatever.

So it was hard for me because you were the one person

who was still genuinely, like, kind of real with me then.

Vanjie is the biggest breath of fresh air

for anything I've ever been involved in.

I'm so glad Vanjie is here,

because she makes everything fun and comfortable and fun.

But it's also just nice being with somebody

who literally went through the same experience as you,

and basically is the same age as you.

It's like how kids

are kept in the same ages at the same grades. [laughs]

[Vanjie] Like when I first saw Yvie and Plastique's number

for the first time, I was, like proud. I was like--

-[Yvie speaking] -It was a little bit of...

And then getting to see

what they're doing with your number now,

where they, like, evolved it to,

just makes me that much more proud.

[Vanjie] Yeah, I was, like, "I wanna do more.

I've got no props."

Well, bitch, jealous.

-[laughs] -[Vanjie] Right.

[woman] Ready, Vanjie?

Oh!

I'm ready!

I feel like I've always been just, like, a ball of energy.

Like, you know, like, always wanting to do something,

always hyper growing up.

I would consider myself

the Kim Kardashian of the Kardashians.

Like, me and my mom were really close.

Um, I have two brothers,

and I was always involved with dance,

and, like, I've always been the little bit of--

like, I wasn't a bad kid.

I was just very chatty.

But, like, the teachers, everyone loved me.

They'd be like, "José, we love him,

but he just would not let us teach."

Being gay wasn't that--

we had, like, 20 boys on the dance team

that were all flamboyant.

So I kind of came into, like, high school and stuff,

like, being, like, I should just come out.

It wasn't, like, a big deal.

The only thing, I felt like I was, in the beginning,

trying to be a little butch.

You know, as a dancer, they would be, like, "You need to--"

you know, the moves need to be masculine,

so that's the only thing.

But then, like, voguing came,

and then, yeah, I just never thought

I would be doing this in fucking wigs.

Well, I was hoping to do something with the entertainment.

I just didn't know I was gonna be, like, in drag.

[queen] Oops, sorry.

Is everybody ready?

Well, actually, it don't matter. I'm ready.

Wait, I forgot my drink. [tongue pop]

[sighs] Ugh. This shit is so...

[Jasper speaking]

Uh...

Uh, yes, I do.

[Jasper] Mm-hmm.

Yeah, because you never know what could happen,

and, bitch, it could be nerves for other people.

Usually I get quiet, and everyone's like, "What's wrong?"

I'm, like, "Bitch, I'm just focusing."

Like, I'll get, like, in the zone.

Am I the first one-- this is--

Now I'm nervous, because that's weird.

Ever seen a woman before? Of course you haven't.

Ooh, with a mirror.

That's a good mirror shot.

Vanjie and I used to share a dressing room a lot.

Like, she is just like me.

Like, we like to take, like, four hours to get ready

and just, like, chill and not be rushed.

So those times are always very serene,

and then we get, like, some shots in,

and it's like baba-daba-daba-daba!

And she turns into, like, the Cookie Monster on crack.

I was on time. First one today.

She's a fucking pathological liar.

She's definitely the loudest one of the bunch,

but it's one of those things where she's so funny

and she's so endearing that it doesn't matter.

I love having her around because she keeps all of our spirits up.

Now, I ain't gonna say I'm the first one all the time.

[Plastique] For the first time this entire tour.

[Kameron] There's a first time for everything.

Well, the first time, but it matters on this day,

because this is the recording. Hello.

I feel like it is a family environment.

It's like a sisterhood.

First one rolling.

Let's just count that.

She should be the first one...

to rehearse. I am just-- [laughs]

Can you imagine?

You know, when we get our period, we all get our periods together.

It's very like that, like school,

when they say the girls get they periods,

and they all get-- their cycle becomes the same?

That happens. It's true.

-[alarm buzzes] -[announcer] Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

I am...

[cheers and applause]

The ho...

[Chancelor] Vanjie, she's one of the only queens

who literally dances with the dancers,

full choreography the whole entire time.

And she's uninhibited about it.

She's fucking falling off the staircase

and we're catching her,

and, like, doing flips and death drops.

And she got the most applause.

[cheers and applause]

I feel like she's so humble, and she doesn't realize her--

-[Morgan Ceely] The potential-- -[Morgna Wright] Potential, like--

[Morgan Ceely] Like, watching her from the beginning of the tour--

[Morgan Wright] She's so humble

and then it's like she just blows it outta the water,

and I feel like she didn't even know she could go that hard.

Yeah.

[Vanjie] I just really told Chance,

I was, like, "I wanna dance a lot."

Like, we need to look like we've been dancing together

since we came out the womb,

when really we just-- I just met this motherfucker.

We all Beyoncés.

It's not just one Beyoncé. We all Beyoncé.

[RuPaul] Now, this is how you do drag.

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win.

You better werq.

[Vanjie] Bitch, we put the costumes through it, OK?

Shit happens, OK?

♪ Vanjie, Vanjie, Vanjie, bitch ♪

Fuck, Beyoncé's hair gets caught to a fan,

Britney Spears' tracks fall out.

Shit happens onstage, OK?

Wardrobe malfunction.

The zipper popped.

I was pissed off.

[groans]

You know, anger management.

My Puerto Rican kicked in, and I was yelling and screaming.

What the fuck, man?

I get heated. It's, like, ugh.

I get so frustrated when shit like that happens.

I can't. I'm going to see Alex stat.

-[Yvie] Oh, did this pop? -Yes.

Bitch...

You know me. I be like, oh, I'm gonna go full out. Fuck it.

Let's just say I've been going too damn much.

The show must go on, bitch.

I can't-- open back or not.

I said, bitch, Imma keep going.

I said to myself, "Did this shit just pop?"

I said, "It sure the fuck did."

I was, like, trying to see if I could zip it,

and I was, like, oh, no, bitch, this thing is--

bitch, it is separated like Angelina and Brad.

[Yvie] Wait, are they not back together again?

-No. -[laughs]

I hope-- I hope-- well, I don't think so.

If not, my reference's gonna be fucked up.

Bitch, the show has to keep going.

If you wanna do something in life

and you wanna pursue something,

you should try to surround yourself

with people that are doing that.

Because, you know, if you wanna work and be excellent,

you have to surround yourself with excellence.

[tongue pop]

Ain't that true?

[cheers and applause]

Make sure you subscribe to WOW Presents.

Aah! And-and don't be cheap!

And don't forget my presents flood.

Don't be trying to wait for YouTube to upload it

five years later when we don't even look the same.

With that being said, yay for today!

-[all laugh] -[Vanjie] Aah!

Follow her to her room. Follow her to her room.

Because I'm trying to get naked.

[sighs]

You know, I've always wondered

what it would feel like to have a stalker.

But thanks to you, Jasper, I think I got the feel.

Are we done? I gave y'all enough footage.

-Go to the other room. -Ah-choo!

Come on, Imma show you. Come on.

Listen, everybody.

He wants to film.

Is it OK if he films in here?

[Kimchi] No, I'm about to get naked.

-Crack on her. -[Kameron] Be a bad girl.

I don't-- really, I don't wanna be, I am.

Now back yo ass up,

and don't you dare touch my wig again, bitch!

[laughs] Get out of here!

Bitch, I don't wanna beat your ass in front of World of Wonder!

Bitch, I don't have to beat your ass--

[Kimchi] Take your wig off and fight me, bitch!

Take that wig off! Huh, huh, huh?

-Look, look, look. -Aah!

Distraction, distraction! Go, go, go, go!

Trick-or-treat, trick-or-treat, motherfucker!

That's how you fight off Kimchi.

You give her a few snacks.

Kimchi is coo-coo-kachoo.

Come out, Kim!

That bitch is the real crazy one.

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Bitch, come on! I ain't scared of your ass!

We just have, like, that little sister/big sister.

Like, she likes to poke at me.

Why you keep pulling my wig, you little--

[laughs] Because I don't have one,

and you're no fun.

[Vanjie] You know, we just have fun and kiki,

and it's fun like that.

Listen, you little Florida bitch.

-Ooh, you wanna pinch me? -[laughs]

We pretend we're like bad girls' club

and we beat each other up.

It's fun.

All right, everybody say "love."

-Love. -We'll come to you.

[indistinct shouting]

[Vanjie] wrong with this bitch?

-We gotta go. -[Yvie] Heads up.

Ooh, Lordy.

Whoever gets to see this video, please send help.

This is a serious issue that's going on.

I'm held captive.

I'm here right now, but they're gonna move,

They're moving quickly, so when you get this,

please make sure you send me a message.

You know, make sure I'm OK, because I'm not.

There's a lot of shit going on.

Those bitches over there are evil.

We gonna get it on camera tonight.

[whispers] This is an SOS, motherfuckers.

Bitch begs.

Y'all, I need help! Somebody send me some help!

Y'all need to stop playing... Now I wanna--

What is tour life like?

On the road, every day, performing,

is a combination of a lot of work and a lot of fun.

I mean, depending on who you're on tour with, it can be fun.

It's Cuervo time, honey.

Yes, I was buying shots. I bought 15 shots.

Yeah, I always feel like I like to have everyone have fun.

Leave it to Vanjie and Plastique.

[Detox] Vanjie is so much trouble.

Her and I together is catastrophe. [laughs]

Yes!

She is a good time.

Let's take a shot. Let's take a shot.

Fucking taking shots throughout the whole show,

and by the end of the night we're pretty fucked up.

But you know what?

We had a good time doing it, and I love her.

She is... [laughs]

What a good-time girl.

I don't mind the tour bus.

And bitch, sometimes, you know,

when you waddle in there drunk after the club,

it's really the kiki to me.

I think it is.

[imitates static] All aboard!

It's gonna be the most glamorous for a drag queen.

We got late, tardy, and not here for the function.

We got bunk two.

Kam.

[Kameron] 'Sup, bro?

-We got Ramona on the top bunk. -Here she goes.

Oh, she's woken me up several times on the bus, yeah.

Can I get a cup, please?

[Jasper speaking]

[person] Yes.

A better question: is she always that crazy?

And the answer is absolutely yes, all the time.

Miss Vanjie loves to come home after she's twisted

and keep the party going on the bus.

So I have to, like, put my pillow over my ears

and be like, "I'll love her in the morning.

I'll love her in the morning.

I swear to God, I'll love her tomorrow.

Shut the fuck off, though." [laughs]

We got it all, honey.

We got bananas that are not ready to go.

They look green to me, so--

[Chancelor] They have been green for about two weeks.

Bitch, and you know, I thought they were, like,

we're gonna make plantains or something.

-[laughs] -You know, I'm Puerto Rican.

The only thing not glamorous, probably the food.

That being said, we got cookies,

right on brand with the fabulous cookies.

The bus, like, rocks you to sleep.

Britney Spears and all of them did it.

We can do it too, bitch.

What I'm saying is that God is good.

Good night. Yay for today.

Peace out. Time out.

Usually I'm probably, like, one of the last ones to get up.

These bitches be waking up early.

Come on, bitches, rehearsal.

Go to the venue, find out what dressing room I'm in.

Usually they put me by myself

because they want me to get ready quickly.

Sometimes the venues backstage are not the best.

Yeah, some of them are ancient fucking theaters.

Like, bitch, old, fossilized, crystallized shit.

[person speaking]

[Vanie] The light--aah!

Aah!

This is a regular day for me.

Come on, let's go.

Shit, shower, shave, start the show,

figure out what I'm gonna wear.

Like, you know, I mean, really, you don't get to do much.

We don't get to explore nothing.

Treacherous.

[tongue pop]

-Ugh. -[queen] There you go, Daddy.

This is very rum-bum-bum-bum.

[man] And three, two, one.

[Yvie laughs]

-[queen] Nice to see you. -[fan] You, too.

Mwah!

-Hi, baby. Hello. -Hi, honey.

Mwah. How are you?

[Jasper speaking]

Yeah, it's a-- a lot of it is really hard.

I don't-- I try not to put too much thought into it.

Like, because it's--

even, like, the whole Miss Vanjie thing

is like--like I don't know.

It's just I can't wrap my mind around it.

Miss Vanjie!

Vanjie!

-Vanjie! -Vanjie!

Miss Vanjie!

[Vanjie] I mean, thank God it's my fucking name.

Can you imagine if I would have been, like, oh,

said something stupid and I have to hear this--

You know, like, it doesn't bother me,

because it's like somebody saying my name.

She's so iconic, and I'm so nervous.

We love the fucking sass.

We love the sass.

You are so pretty!

[Vanjie] I think Michelle said it once,

that I make people feel like we've grown up together.

Like the bitch from around the way.

And, yeah, I hold that with pride, bitch,

because not everybody can be like that.

[Jasper speaking]

Um... no.

I didn't think I would be famous,

but I felt like I would be doing something.

You know, like, I just never imagined it

to be, like, at this, um, level.

So, yeah, it's crazy.

I still every day get, like, surprised.

Like today, even though it wasn't the first time,

Rihanna, she responds to me quite, you know, often.

Every time I write her, she will respond.

I still get shocked.

[Jasper speaking]

Yeah, she writes me a few-- you know, quite a few times.

I try-- you know, I don't wanna-- I don't harass her,

because I don't wanna be annoying.

Don't be getting all up in the tea.

But she say here I am, posted up--

posted the fuck up.

So she's basically saying how proud and genuine I am, and honest,

and she loves me for that.

[Jasper] If you told yourself two or three years ago

that you'd be getting DMs from Rihanna right now...

I'd be like, bitch, whose dick are you sucking?

And I'm not sucking anybody's dick, so, yeah, it's crazy.

So for everybody out there, yeah, just be yourself,

because somebody out there will relate and understand and--

What's the word? Authen-- authens--

What's the word?

Authenticity?

People always can sense when a bitch is real

and when a bitch is putting on something, OK?

Y'all know what I'm trying to say, shit.

I ain't no damn Google quote or motivational speaker,

but, bitch, you know what I'm trying to say.

So I'm just gagged.

[Jasper speaking]

We're going, um, to Canada, where I was the first lady.

[Yvie laughs]

The queen of the North. the queen of the North.

The queen of the South is on her way, bitch.

The queen of the North. I'm the queen of the South.

And I was motherfucking Michele Obama of the bitch.

I am the queen of the South, and I'm on my way!

You see, twinkle-toes?

Pandemonium, OK?

Ooh, I'm getting energy now.

[Jasper] What's your morning routine? Cheers.

Coffee.

It's gonna be some fun night tonight.

-Come on, let's go! -[laughs]

I'm going out tonight to set the--

set the club on fire, baby.

[Jasper] You're going out tonight?

Yes, Canada, the boys love me.

[Jasper speaking]

Honey, I don't eat meat,

but I don't mind a little bit of Canadian bacon.

No, I'm kidding.

I don't discriminate, I participate.

Whoo!

Like, the fans will ask about Brooklyn

and, oh, how's he doing?

It used to be really fierce in the beginning,

like, all the time.

So when we broke up, in the beginning it'd be-- it was a lot.

Like, the fans would not let it go.

They wanted us to be together.

[Jasper speaking]

Yes, it's, like, bitch, let it go.

We ain't gonna be together.

Basically being faithful and stuff like that

is not an issue for me.

And some people, it's hard for them.

And, you know, that's OK.

We just not gonna be together, bitch.

Yes, it was hard, because, you know,

you invest and you have to, like, get over it,

and it takes so--

like, so quick to, you know, start liking somebody,

and so long to get over it.

So I would just have to, you know,

delete the number for a little bit,

take off his Instagram off my shit,

put my focus back into work, and just keep yourself occupied.

That's about it.

[Chancelor] Vanjie, are you gonna do a drop tonight?

Yes, baby.

You know, Beyoncé is Beyoncé

because she has a fierce team with her.

I mean, she's sickening, but you know what I'm saying,

to get it to the level

that y'all enjoy is Beyoncé and everybody,

So... [tongue pop]

[Jasper] What's your number like in the show?

[Vanjie] The Super Bowl number of the show.

The halftime performance,

the shut-down, the lights come out.

[cheers and applause]

I do a lot of the choreography.

I go in and out when I need to, and we all Beyoncés.

It ain't even cold.

What the fuck?

I need oxygen.

This punk-ass fan I stole from Holiday Inn.

Look at it.

I don't even know why I stole it.

I'm that petty. [laughs]

Britney Spears made it look easy

when she did "I'm a Slave for You."

Then the Blackout album came out,

and we all knew it was not easy.

Mind you, that's one of the best albums.

See you in a little bit.

All right.

Let's-let's get it. Come on.

It's gonna be fun, and then a little kiki-ing.

Y'all motherfuckers come the hell back.

Hey, y'all come back.

Yeah, how are you? Mwah!

Hey, Mary.

How are you?

[Vanjie] All right, uh, cheers!

[shouting and cheering]

You know, one thing I could say

about all these Drag Race girls

is the support and the energy that they give us,

and encouragement that they tell us to keep pushing on.

Because we too can be on that stage eventually one day.

So it's great, and the show was epic.

[announcer] She was on Season 10, and they made a mistake.

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Vanjie!

[cheers and applause]

[Vanjie] I feel like I've always been like this.

Like, I've always kikied,

and I just like to have fun and enjoy myself.

Bitch, we're in drag. Like, it's nothing serious.

When I started getting into drag, it was, like, a little bit, like,

hold on, bitch, what are you doing?

My family's concern was, like, you can't make money.

But I've always been a person that, like, right or wrong,

I'm gonna do what I want to do

and learn from it if it's bad or good.

Like, sometimes we go through things

to kind of help teach us.

You're gonna have to go through that

in order to come out

and be the person you need to be the next day.

-[Yvie] Bitch! -Double elimination.

All right, bring in the next whore.
