Working with America's

Let's take a look

at some of the queens

who were gone too soon.

[cheers and applause]

[somber piano music]

♪ ♪

- Eww!

- Welcome.

First up, Alisa Summers.

Now, were you surprised

that Jiggly sent you packing

with her sickening

lip sync and split?

- Did you see that outfit

she was wearing, honey?

When she was creating that

thing,

I was like, there is no way,

there is no way,

even if I'm bottom two.

Honey, but she turned it out.

But then again,

if I was wearing sneakers

I could have turned it out too.

[laughter and boos]

- Now, Lashauwn

and The Princess,

both of you were criticized

for being too low-key.

Do you regret not speaking out?

- I regret not speaking out

because I don't think

people got the chance

to really know who I was

and what I'm about.

So, yeah, most definitely

I regret it.

- Yeah?

And what about you, Princess?

- The only thing that I regret

is that the rest of America

didn't get to see what else

I had to show.

If I was more of a character,

say like Willam,

I probably could have

stuck around longer,

because, uh, I had more to show,

and frankly what came after me,

after I got kicked off

down the runway,

it was kind of lame.

[audience oohs]

- All right, now...

[laughter]

Madame LaQueer,

you won challenges,

and yet you were repeatedly

picked last

by your fellow queens.

How did that make you feel?

- Well, for a second

that made me feel bad

but in the moment that

made me feel in high school.

I get picked last

for the basketball team,

but, bitch,

I was a maid of honor.

Okay?

- Now, all of you

left the competition

before one of our favorite

mini challenges.

So I'm gonna give you a chance

to prove that

reading is fundamental.

[cheers and applause]

Madame LaQueer,

the library is open, darling.

[cheers]

- Jiggly Caliente.

I know I can call you Jiggly.

But, mama, where's your teeth?

I know, hanging out

with your good taste.

[audience oohs]

[applause]

- Ladies, stick around

because we've got

a lot more shade thrown

before we crown

America's next drag superstar.

[cheers and applause]

[techno music]

Welcome back to RuPaul's

Drag Race: Reunited.

Tonight all my girls are back

to help me crown

America's next drag superstar.

Now while our top three

are getting ready backstage,

I wanna talk to a queen

who became famous,

or should I say infamous,

for flipping her wig.

Let's take a look.

- That's a desperate

cry for attention.

- A little I am what I am,

La Cage.

- ♪ Gay straight or bi ♪

Lesbian transgender life ♪

- Milan, girl,

that's clearly a dude.

[cheers and applause]

- London, Paris, Milan.

You look great.

Now, have you done something

different with your hair?

Oh, no...oh, you're wearing it.

[laughter]

Now, I gotta ask,

I gotta ask,

now, were you surprised

by the uproar

over all the hair flipping?

- You know, to be honest,

I was a bit surprised.

I, um...I think that people

sometimes misinterpret

what I do as an artist.

At times you'll disagree,

and I respect that.

- So do you feel like

flipping your wig right now?

Let's do it together.

You first.

Ready?

Come on, come on, let's do it.

Come on, Milan.

Come on.

- For real?

- No!

- For real?

- No, thank you, Milan.

- Thank you, guys.

- Next up, when it came time

to put an outfit together,

this queen got Jiggly with it.

Let's take a look.

- The thing is,

I don't need to sew

to become

the next drag superstar.

- I don't see a real dress.

- I'm finishing that up

with some more...

garbage.

- Baked potato couture.

- Girl, right now you're a mess.

Things are falling off.

Fix your tutu.

- Where the f*ck are my tits?

- It ain't the school for drag.

Let's face it,

she just took a bunch of pom-pom

and she just threw it on top.

It just looks horrible.

It looks horrible.

- Beyoncé don't be sewing

her sh*t.

[laughter]

- Hello, Jiggly Caliente.

May I call you Jiggly?

- Of course, darling.

Everybody does.

- [laughs]

Now...now listen.

Now, your struggles with sewing

and design brought you down.

Have you been working on this?

- My brother gave me a gift.

Like, after his tax return check

came,

he decided...he decided to get me

sewing lessons.

So in a couple weeks I'm gonna

start my sewing classes,

and then I'm gonna turn it

the f*ck out.

[laughter and applause]

- All right, so all right.

Let's talk about

your temper tantrums.

- I mean,

like I said on the show,

I kept it 100 all day every day.

- You kept it 100?

- All day...

- Not 95?

- Not 95.



And some people

just didn't like it.

And sometimes they took

my temper or my anger,

and there was just

so many issues I had

also coming onto the show.

When I got home,

I went to go get...

went to go see therapy.

I have serious daddy issues

and...

- Honey, don't we all?

Right?

- Well...

[laughter]

- Um, so the therapist told me

to write a letter, and I did.

- You wrote a letter to daddy?

- Yeah, I did.

But she didn't tell me that,

you know, to really mail it.

I mailed it,

and the right address.

So whoever gets it...

- Well, actually, I have

the letter right here, Jiggly.

- Oh, sh*t!

- No.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

- All right, next up Dida Ritz.

Dida, during your time

on Drag Race,

you had a breakthrough

with your family.

Let's take a look.

- Surprise, Dida.

- [gasps]

- It's your mom.

- That's my mommy.

- Say hi, dad.

- Hi.

- We just wanted to let you know

how much we love you

and we miss you.

And we're really proud of you

for pursuing your dreams.

Love you!

See you soon.

Bye-bye.

- So, Dida, what's happened

since the show?

- Since the show, you know,

before my parents

never saw me in drag,

they'd never been to a show,

and now they watch the show.

My family is, like,

the biggest fans.

My mom calls me so much,

and she's always telling me

how my grandparents

watch the show

every time it comes on reruns.

And my mom's actually here.

- Is she here?

Your mother's here?

Oh, there...

may I call you Mama Ritz?

- Yes, you may.

- Now, in the clip we heard

your husband in the background.

What does he think about Dida

on television in drag?

- He's proud of him.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm, and he loves him.

- How does it feel

to get this acceptance

from your father

and your mother?

- It feels amazing.

You know,

every time I've seen you

I've said thank you

a million times

because you're bringing

happy homes together

and especially religious homes

together.

So I guess for me

it's a blessing,

and it's something

I feel very happy to have

because I know that there

are people out there

who don't have that, you know?

My mom's sitting here right now,

so...

- Yeah, yeah.

[cheers and applause]

Your parents are proud of you,

and so am I.

And like I always say,

RuPaul's Drag Race:

Bringing families together.

[laughter]

It's true.

Up next, little Kenya Michaels.

She had the looks, the moves,

but what the hell

was she talking about?

[laughter]

I mean, let's take a look.

[laughter]

- Mama, it's not what you say.

It's what you do.

[roars]

Hmm, I kind of

like the smell!

- Kenya, you like the smell

of the beaver,

so don't hold your nose.

- This is a challenge

that you can go and kick ass,

because go, girl, smoke that.

That's my time, you know?

And it's more easy for you

than for me

that I don't speak more English.

It's the only thing that I say.

That's all.

- I understood

about four words of that.

- Whoo!

[cheers and applause]

- Hello, little Kenya.

Hello.

Now, my dear, sometimes it was

difficult to understand...

- I know.

- But tonight

we don't want to miss a thing.

So we've invited

an extra special translator.

Please welcome our biggest

drag professor, Charo.

[cheers and applause]

- Hola.

- Hola.

- Hello, Charo.

Now, Charo,

I need you to ask Kenya

how has everyone in Puerto Rico

responded

to her appearance on our show.

[laughter]

- Right.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- [speaking Spanish]

[both speaking Spanish]

- Si?

- Ah, yeah.

- [speaking Spanish]

[cheers and applause]

[continues speaking Spanish]

[both speaking Spanish]

- Si, si.

- [continues speaking Spanish]

- Si, si.

Um...

[laughter]

Well, I tell you what, Charo.

Let's ask her one more question.

Please ask her

if she was surprised

that we brought her back

to the show.

- Right.

[speaking Spanish]

- Jodera...

[speaking Spanish]

I'm so excited, girl.

[speaking Spanish]

Baby, it's not what you say.

It's what you do.

[cheers and applause]

- Right, I kinda understood

the last part, but could you...

could you translate the first

part of that, Charo?

What'd she say?

- RuPaul, I'm very confused.

I cannot understand

a word that bitch say.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

- Well, Kenya,

you are a fierce queen

in any language.

And, professor Charo,

so are you.

[cheers and applause]

Kenya, do you cuchi-cuchi?

- No, can you show me, please?

- [speaking Spanish]

- Actually, let's everybody

cuchi-cuchi out to commercial.

[upbeat music]

[cheers and applause]

Welcome back to

RuPaul's Drag Race: Reunited.

Now, before we crown

America's next drag superstar,

there's an important

piece of business

that we need to attend to.

This season, for the first time

in Drag Race history,

a queen was disqualified

from the competition.

Now, rumors have been flying,

but there's one thing

for certain.

There's never been

a more controversial queen.

Let's take a look.

Willam,

it has come to my attention

that you have broken the rules.

Willam, I have to ask you

to leave the competition

immediately.

[cheers and applause]

Ladies and gentlemen,

to set the record straight

about Willam...

you'll have to tune in

to this season's premiere

of RuPaul's Drag U,

coming this summer on Logo.

[audience groans]

Just kidding.

J.K., Miss Thing.

[laughter]

Please welcome back Willam.

[cheers and applause]

Now, Willam, I want the answer

to the question

everyone is dying to know.

Audience, let's say it together.

all: What did Willam do?

What did Willam do?

What did Willam do?

- What didn't I do?

[laughter]

- No, seriously,

I want you to take a deep breath

and break it down for me, okay?

- When you go away to Drag Race,

you can't tell anybody.

It's top secret.

And I told my husband

I was doing

a non-union horror movie

in Europe,

which I've done before,

and they suck,

so don't watch them.

And he didn't believe me.

He's like, "Why you gotta

take all this drag?"

So I lied, and he followed me

to the hotel.

And then the first night

he knocked on my door,

and it was a delivery.

- So in other words,

you were receiving

conjugal visits

from your husband,

and unfortunately

that was a violation

of the rules.

- Visiting makes it sound like

we were visiting.

There wasn't no talking.

- [laughs]

- But they were

very long visits.

He's 6'6".

- Oh, yes, yes.

Listen, I was disappointed

to see you go

and so were your fans.

[cheering]

- Thank you.

- I want you to know that

I really, really believe in you.

And actually I thought you had

a chance to go all the way.

[cheers and applause]

Do you have any regrets?

- Um...

I was gonna be flippant,

but after hearing you say that,

um...I regret that...

I maybe...

I should win next time.

- [laughs]

- Well, Willam, I have one

last question to ask.

- Sure.

- And this is

a serious question.

- All right.

- Do you have anything to plug?

- I have my new single,

the WDWD Doot-Doot Trouble mix

on iTunes.

And here's a little sticker.

- Oh, great, thank you.

- Yeah, and they're scented too.

They smell like a sticker.

- Oh, yeah, they do.

Yeah, yeah.

Willam, I expect great things

from you in the future,

so keep breaking the rules,

mama.

Just don't break my rules, okay?

- No, your show, your rules.

- That's right.

This next queen won our hearts

and made us cry

and redefined

the meaning of the word "bitch,"

being in total control

of herself.

I'm talking about

Latrice m*therf*cking Royale.

Let's take a look.

[cheers and applause]

- You have changed my life

forever.

You have changed the world

of drag forever.

Thank you for seeing

something special in me.

Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- [laughs]

Now, I wanna ask you, Latrice,

how has RuPaul's Drag Race

changed your life?

- I am not the same.

I mean, the overwhelming

response that I'm getting,

the outpour of love

that I'm getting,

I never expected

to get all this.

I mean, really.

But I truly am humbled by it.

I thank you so much.

I definitely feel that, um,

I'm inspired

to keep on keeping on

because doing me works.

[cheers and applause]

- Now, you were very open

about your prison background.

Do you regret letting the world

know about that?

- No, that was the most

liberating thing

that I ever coulda done.

I want people to realize that

it's okay to make mistakes.

It's okay to fall down.

Get up, look sickening,

and make them eat it.

[cheers and applause]

- I hear that you brought

a letter from a fan.

- I did.

I did it just so...

if it's not all wet.

- Oh.

- Moist.

- Ew, dear.

- Delicious.

- Oh, okay.

- Says, "Hi, Latrice.

"I just wanted to tell you

what a role model you have been

"for my ten-year-old daughter

Katherine.

"We get in bed

every Monday night together

"and watch the Drag Race.

"She's been dealing with

some bullying issues,

"but lately she's been

channeling her inner Latrice

and showing those b*tches

the door."

[cheers and applause]

"When I drop her off at school

in the morning,

"I tell her,

'You be fierce, mama.'

"Much love.

Rock on.

Gina from Florida."

- That is lovely.

I love it.

Well, of course you haven't

seen the last of Latrice.

I'm very excited to announce

that she's joining the faculty

of Drag U this summer

right here on Logo TV

and logotv.com.

Give it up for

Latrice m*therf*cking Royale.

[cheers and applause]

The shade, the shade of it all.

The shade, the shade, the shade.

Ha, it's fabulous.

Gorgeous.

[cheers and applause]

Welcome back to

RuPaul's Drag Race: Reunited.

Last week, our top three queens

were lip syncing for their lives

to my single Glamazon,

available on iTunes and Amazon.

[cheers and applause]

Tonight they're dying

to find out

who will be crowned

America's next drag superstar.

Please welcome back to the stage

the top three.

[cheers and applause]

My girls, my girls.

Can you feel the love tonight?

- Oh, it's incredible.

- Fabulous.

- It's "phierce" with a "p-h".

- Yes.

- Sharon, Phi Phi,

for most of the season

the two of you hated each other.

Why?

- Well, who first?

- It's really hard

for me to hate someone,

and it's really easy for me

just to get along with anyone

when I can just find

a redeeming quality.

Unfortunately,

it was really hard for me

to find a redeeming quality.

I mean, that's...

[cheers and applause]

- And Phi Phi, uh, why did you

hate Sharon so much?

- I did feel that a lot of times

instead of talking to me

as a person,

she was talking down to me

or at me,

and I don't take that very well.

But, I mean, I love her and

I respect what she does and...

- Bullshit.

[cheers and applause]

- Now, Chad,

you defended Phi Phi

for most of the season.

- I did.

- How do you feel about her now?

- As I watched the season

from home,

I realized that there were times

when I wasn't around that

Phi Phi really

let her ass hang out,

and, um, a lot happened

when I wasn't there.

And I literally felt like I was

walking around in a cloud.

Specifically setting up

Jiggly to fail.

Um, well, trying to set up

Willam to go home

by having Latrice

throw the contest.

And then the thing that just

left me really unsettled,

Phi Phi, in the Gold Bar,

when you came for Willam

it wasn't an att*ck

on his talent,

and it wasn't an att*ck on

what he was doing at the show.

It was a personal att*ck.

And I just...

I just felt as though

you could have behaved

a little bit better.

But that's my opinion, baby.

- And I complete...

I completely understand

where you're coming from,

and I do...

I watch the show now

and I see that...

watching, I'm like,

oh, I'm insane.

[laughter]

And, um, I just felt sometimes

that you guys were attacking me,

and so maybe that was

my defense mechanism.

- I wanna hear from

some of the other queens.

Do you have anything to say

to any of our top three queens?

Jiggly?

- This hurts a lot.

Phi Phi, me and you,

we supposed to be road dogs.

We supposed to be sisters.

You came to my crib.

You chilled with me.

And for me to see that

like that at...

damn, girl, I swear to god.

Ooh, I just felt betrayed.

And you always were like,

"You can lean on me

and you can lean on me,"

and then that.

I felt like a sucker.

And I'm supposed to be

your sister?

That sh*t ain't cool with me.

- You know,

I completely apologize

if that hurt you in any way,

but when I signed on

to this show...

and people might not

agree to it...

I signed in to win $100,000

and a crown.

- Honestly, like, I think...

I'm an egomaniac.

Everybody knows that.

But, like, she should be studied

down there.

I don't understand it.

It's almost sociopathic the way

she'll tell people, um,

"It was just a character.

I was just playing it up."

And then she'll sign autographs,

"f*ck Willam, f*ck Sharon."

It's not cool.

And I understand

that it's a game.

I never retaliated on the show

because I didn't care

and indifference

is worse than hate.

And I'm not gonna "RuPaulogize"

for anything that I'm doing now.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, bitch.

Oh, bitch.

Consider that word stolen,

honey.

[cheers and applause]

My new album will be called

"RuPaulogize" on iTunes.

[cheers and applause]

All right, ladies,

it's time to find out

which one of you b*tches

will be named Miss Congeniality.

Oh, pit crew.

[cheers and applause]

The fans have spoken.

And this year's

Miss Congeniality is...

My girls, Chad Michaels,

and Phi Phi O'Hara,

in a moment

one of you will be crowned

First up, Chad Michaels.

Now, you've impressed everyone

with your grace

Chad, I want to know

how you're feeling right now.

- This has meant a lot to me,

and just to be here with this

incredible group of friends

and with you, Ru,

I'm galvanized, I'm focused,

and I'm ready to

take home the crown tonight.

[cheers and applause]

- Now, do you have

- You know I do.

I have my partner, Adam Magee.

He's right over here.

- Hi.

- Yes?

- Now, you design out...

did you design this outfit?

- From head to toe, sweetheart.

- Really?

Gorgeous.

I'll have one in every color.

[laughter]

Now, Chad, I want to ask you:

What would it mean for you

to become America's

next drag superstar?

- It would be a personal test

that I put on myself

that I passed.

It would be showing me

what I'm made of.

It would be justifying

all the support that I have had

over the last 20 years of...

basically I get to

play dress up for a living

and move my lips.

I think lastly, Ru, for me

it would be my honor

and my privilege

to represent RuPaul's Drag Race

- Chad Michaels,

I want to thank you

for elevating this

beautiful race to the highest.

You are a class act.

Now, Sharon, you've become

quite the cult figure.

How does it feel?

- It's humbling

because, you know,

I came here, you know, to show,

you know, the underbelly

and the underground outsider

art side of drag

and try and get $100,000

doing it,

and now it's become

a full-time job

and a responsibility

to so many young people.

I get hundreds of letters

I never thought I would

touch people like that.

[cheers and applause]

- Now, you have

some special people

- I do.

I have my girlfriend

didn't come out of a box.

And the last unspooky costume

I remember was the scarecrow

from The Wizard of Oz.

So from then on it's just been

zombies and bloody things.

- [laughs]

What would it mean for you

to be America's

next drag superstar?

- Well, first it would be

such a great honor.

Being the holder of the crown

would show that you don't

have to fit a certain mold

to make it in any industry

or in any desire that you want.

And for any gay kid out there

or just weird kid

that gets picked on,

just know, you know,

when in doubt, freak them out.

Do whatever the f*ck

you wanna do, and...

[cheers and applause]

And if anyone

ever boos you offstage,

that is simply

applause from ghosts.

You remember that.

- [laughs]

[audience boos]

- I love it.

[cheers and applause]

- Up next, Phi Phi O'Hara.

[cheers and applause]

No one has been in it to win it

more than you have,

and that drive has propelled you

into the top three.

Now, what's the best thing

to come out of the experience?

- As many haters as I have,

I would definitely have to say

that the fans,

the fans that I do have,

because, granted I came in here

to win the $100,000,

a crown, title of

America's next drag superstar,

but I wanted to be the backbone

and strength

for a lot of those kids

that had to go through,

like, a child abuse past

and stuff like that

and just have that person

that they could look up to

that I didn't have as a child.

- Right,

now you've been very honest

about your relationship

with your father.

And have things improved

since the show aired?

- No.

- Does he know

you've done the show?

- Yeah.

Um...

I know he watches it, and, um,

and I know he doesn't like it.

But I love me.

And, um...

[cheers and applause]

If I can show any kids out there

to be strong

and, um, live life for yourself

and just be happy,

make sure that at the end of the

day when you go to bed,

as long as you love yourself

and you're proud

of everything that you did,

f*ck what everybody else says.

[cheers and applause]

- So, Phi Phi, who's here

rooting for you tonight?

- The person

I look up to the most,

um, my beautiful mother.

[applause]

- And what's your mom's name?

- That's Rhonda.

- Hi, Rhonda.

What do you think of Phi Phi?

- I think he's beautiful.

I just think that the judges

made a call right

when they said he may of wore

a little bit too much makeup.

[laughter]

- Shut up.

- But he toned it down,

and he looks great.

He looks just like me.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

- Phi Phi,

what would it mean to you

to be crowned

America's next drag superstar?

- Money in the bank.

[laughter]

And, um, like I said, a voice.

I just want to show people that

you can fight for anything that

you want,

and never let anybody stop you

because if you want it,

you can make it happen.

- Thank you, Phi Phi.

And I just want to say,

watching you

in this competition grow

and be such a fighter has just

really been amazing.

And no matter what anybody says,

you are fantastic,

and you deserve

to be in this race, okay?

Let's give

a big round of applause

for our top three.
