And I think that I now see and value myself
far differently than I did before.
I will forever be a changed person, and that's magical.
- Joan Rivers used to say, hold on to your fork after dinner
because dessert's coming.
[laughing]
This is dessert, baby.
- I love it.
- Thank you, Shannel, and I love you.
- I love you, too.
Thank you so much.
- All right.
- OK.
[laughing]
- Mama, hey.
- Oh, my goodness, you got on that Muppet coat.
- I do.
Girl, I'm so excited to talk to Ru.
Ooh, I'm so hungry.
I'm just starving, girl.
I ain't ate all day, bitch.
- You know, it has been quite a journey
in this competitive "All Stars."
- A little-- a little up and down, I would say.
Because, like, my original season wasn't as
competitive for some reason.
- As this season here? - As "All Stars," yeah.
Because when you come to "Drag Race" the first time,
I feel like you come to win.
But you're also, like, taking in the experience and stuff.
I feel like when you come on "All Stars,"
you kind of got a mission to win this time.
So it seems like all the girls is, you know,
gunning for the crown, child.
And I'm one of them, but I'm just saying.
Winning this competition was a dream that started years
and years and years ago.
And leaving off of that stage on the finale on season 14,
it's like when you get so close--
I was left feeling a little hungry.
Now I'm starving. Now I'm starving.
Now I got to win.
- Now, do you have an acting agent here in Hollywood?
- Yeah, like, I had-- like, I'm with management.
- OK, good.
Because you know you're going to be doing that.
- I want it.
- I have high hopes for you because you've
got something, kiddo.
You really do.
People like you.
And in show business, that is huge.
That will make people say, well,
why don't we call Angeria?
She could do the job.
And she's going to be on time. She's kind.
And you know what?
I like Angeria.
Because there's a lot of talented people,
but they nasty.
[laughing]
And you go, you know what?
I don't want to fuck with that bitch.
It's not worth it. You know what I mean?
- Yeah.
- I have no doubt that all these things will happen.
I love you.
- I love you, too.
- All right.
And tell the Muppets I said hello.
- I will. I will.
I'll tell Kermit and Miss Piggy and all of them you said hey.
You have a wonderful rest of your day.
I love you.
- I love you.
[laughing]
- Oh, my gosh! - Hi.
- How are you? - How's it going?
- How are you?
- Good to see you.
While I'm waiting for my Tic Tac Chat with Ru,
I get to rehearse my variety show with the dancers.
So my song is called "So Gorge."
You guys are going to be my band.
Yes, we're going to have a full instrument situation,
and then I'm just going to play the guitar a little bit,
and you guys are going to rock out.
This song is like a musical experiment for me,
and I really am excited to try something new.
That's like a punk rock moment.
So it's, like, hardcore and it's, like, really scary.
Scary as possible.
Or maybe we'll, like, kick or something?
Like, pow.
And then it goes, I'm so-- and then we, like,
switch to juxtaposition of girly.
There's $200,000 for my charity on the line,
so it's a crazy place to test out this new genre I'm trying
to invent right now.
But honey, that's what "Drag Race All Stars" is all about.
And we can like, pose cute.
Cute, right?
- Nina West.
Here you are.
- I can't believe I get a Tic Tac Lunch.
Like, I'm, like--
I literally am the happiest person in the world.
- What has the experience been like?
- So being back has been this emotional roller coaster
of, oh, my gosh, I'm back.
You know, I'd stepped away for two years
to pursue a different career path.
I did Edna in Hairspray.
- Yeah.
- And so I was away from this for a while.
And I really thought, well, OK.
Maybe I've done it.
Maybe I've had my time with Nina.
But I was like-- but Mama's asking, and it's for charity.
And I felt so honored.
- Listen, thank you for coming back because it's not just
about having to prove something, but it's
about sharing this magic that you have
with the rest of the world.
- I've done drag now for 23 years.
And prior to that, I didn't know my purpose.
And I remember my drag mother scooping me up, saving my life.
That's how-- and that's how I view drag.
It's life-saving.
And so I could never turn my back on this.
And especially now when kids are hearing that they don't
matter, and schools are banning books about these kids'
identities, and who they are, and who they're trying
to come to terms with who they love,
and being in their own skin.
- And that's why the Trevor Project is such
a perfect charity for you.
- Their advocacy and their action,
and just being there with the hotline 24 hours a day,
seven days a week for queer kids
to have access to, to have the next Ru create her own dynasty.
Everything that we so need to become a better society,
Trevor is protecting.
Winning the money for the Trevor Project
would be the world.
So I'm going to give everything I have in this last challenge.
- Well, I can't wait to see you in the talent
show extravaganza.
I'm sure you will do us proud.
- I'm so proud to be a part of this.
So proud to be a part of this.
- And we are proud to have you.
- I'm so honored to be here.
You know I love you so much.
- I love you.
- Hi!
- Look at you with your little blazer on.
- Try to look a little bit, you know,
more put together for you.
- You're playing for the ASPCA. - Uh-huh.
- Which is a fabulous foundation.
- Mm-hmm.
- Do you feel proud of your performance
in this competition?
- Yeah, I'm proud of myself.
You know, it still ain't over.
I'ma get my other badges.
- How many do you have?
- I got two trifling, strong badges.
[laughing]
- Now, you know, it's interesting.
This time around, there's a deeper side of you
that you've allowed us to see.
- Yeah.
I feel like every time I come out, I'm more--
it comes easier and easier, like riding a bike
or taking a dick.
- Yeah. Taking a what?
- A thingy. A eggplant.
Get easier and easier.
- Well, you've got to want it, though.
- That's very true.
Yeah, that's very true, though.
- How have you changed since the last time you were here?
I mean, really, on a deeper level.
- Yeah, yeah.
Back then, I used to be questioning
everything and trying to people please everyone.
And now I'm just not as insecure as I was before.
I'm more sure of myself.
I feel more confident and comfortable in who
I am, flaws and all.
And, like, my ratchetness and the way I speak, and I'm not--
I'm unapologetically myself.
- Vanjie, you're fabulous.
You really are.
- Thank you so much.
- You are intelligent.
You are naturally talented.
The only place that you stumble is when you
start to question yourself.
Don't do that anymore.
What would it mean to you to win "All Stars"?
- I would probably be the first person to win
that ever went home first.
Doesn't matter how you act and talk,
and it doesn't matter how many times you fall.
You can get through the front door, kick through the back.
I'm that kind of girl. - Yeah.
- I feel like I already won.
I just think the check for the ASPCA.
Yeah.
[laughing]
I love you.
- I love you, too.
- Thank you. Ooh!
- That's all right. - That silicone.
- Yeah.
- It's heavy, honey.
[laughing]
Damn.
- All right.
- Love you, bye!
- Hi, Ru.
- Hi, Jorgeous.
- Yes, hi.
- You know, it's amazing what you've
done here because you were 21 when you first came here.
Is that right?
- Yes, I was a little baby when I came here.
- What have you learned about yourself
the second time that you didn't know before entering
this competition?
- I learned that I'm a funny, down ass bitch.
Not going to lie, for the longest time,
I tried to hide my gayness away.
Like, growing up, being tiny and also me being gay,
it just felt like people could just walk all over me
whenever they wanted to.
And being here, like, it really, like, made me not care
about what anybody thinks.
Like, just worry about myself.
And I'm just a lot happier and a lot more confident
this time around.
- Well, listen, you know, this time around in the roast,
you discovered Jorge.
- Yes.
- You could have a whole series of movies based on Jorge.
- Yes. And I'm actually serious.
You could actually do that.
- Thank you so much, Ru.
Like, the fact that you believe in me so much,
it just means so much.
Like, you don't understand how much you've done
for me this whole competition.
You brought a whole new side out of me,
and I thought it would take me forever to find.
I'm sorry that I repeat my words.
I'm just-- I'm just trying to be perfect.
And--
- You don't have to apologize.
I already know who you are.
And I fucking love you.
- I love you so much.
- I love you.
You are great.
You don't have to change a thing.
You are fucking perfect.
- Thank you so much, Ru.
The fact that RuPaul really sees me
and how much I've grown, it makes me feel like I have
such a good chance to win.
And it will mean so much to my family, to my friends,
and of course, to my charity, NAMI--
National Alliance of Mental Illness.
I feel like I could do it.
I feel like the power is in my hands.
Like, I just need to--
I just need to go for it.
Thank you.
Bye. I will see you later.
- OK.
[upbeat music]
- Who you about to cut up?
- These are part of my--
- You going to cut your way through the badges?
- --part of my number.
- Are those real?
- Ooh, OK.
OK.
- Oh, my God.
Bitch, if I wasn't nervous before,
I'm nervous now, bitch.
Werk.
- What are you doing for the talent show?
- I'm going to be twirling, like, sabers.
- Sabers?
- Like, light sabers.
- Oh, cool.
- Yeah.
Even though I currently have four badges,
the only way for me to get to the final three
is to win the variety show because even
someone who has two badges--
which is the lowest amount--
they can earn three badges by winning this challenge,
and beat me.
And that's really scary to me.
- I would love, love to win this and be able to give
that $200,000 to my charity.
That would be everything--
everything.
And I'm going to put everything I have
into it to make that happen.
- Bitch, I hope we in this shit
together for the finale.
- I hope it's us.
That would be amazing.
- Because I know we want this shit real bad.
- Yeah.
[tense music]
I think I care about this competition
because I'm competing for myself and for representation
of my people.
When I go to my homeland and I see people so happy
and welcoming me with open arms,
and they are just cheering me on.

And if it doesn't stick, like, whatever.
I tried.

done all of those things.
You're a fucking morph machine.
You know what I mean? - Yeah.
Being here is like a recharge of that.
I'm like, oh, my God, I can do more
than I ever thought I can do.
I just want to keep experiencing things and putting
it into my art, whether it was painting, or fashion, or drag,
and making people feel something through my journey
and what I've been through.
- And have you ever called the Trans Lifeline?
- I haven't.
But I wish I knew about Trans Lifeline
because having people that are educated
to talk to someone like me would just be so helpful.
So I'm so happy and proud that I'm talking
about Trans Lifeline on TV.
- Let's call them right now.
- Yeah. Hit it!
We actually have them on the phone now.
[laughing]
- What have you learned about yourself
that you didn't know before entering this competition?
- This past year, I've dealt with crazy transphobic,
in person--
just, like, people saying the most insane things to me.
And I kind of thought when I transitioned,
that I could just kind of, like, fly under the radar.
You know, just live, like, a cisgender fantasy almost.
And then I had these experiences on the road.
And I realized, you know, that's not going to happen.
I'm not just going to ever be able to just
fly under the radar and be cis, nor do I ever want that.
I'm so proud of my transness and who I am.
And I've worked so hard to be that.
Get into it or get lost, and getting lost is not an option.
So--
- That's $1 million term.
Get into it or get lost because there
are dark forces that are threatened by that light
and that laughter.
And your creativity, it's off the fucking charts.
- Thank you.
- And know that some people can't handle that,
and that's OK.
Get into it--
- Or get lost.

- All right.
- Love you, gorgeous.

This is free promotion.

I'ma have to make sure I get some good choreography,
the boom cat cat for your life.
Yeah.
- You know, maybe we kind of roll it--
- Do it all the way around. - Roll it in.

When I didn't win, I was like, you're a failure.
They didn't want you.
You were not good enough, like my mom told me.
And I came back on "All Stars."
I didn't win that either.
I was a bottom so many times I said,
you're still not good enough.
After "All Stars" 2,
my grandmother left me.
And I--
[soft music]
Not only was I left by my mom, my grandmother-- who saved me
from all that I made over in season two of "All Stars"--
we had a huge fallout where she left as well.
It made me feel disposable.
You know, she saved us.
And I saw her as my, like, everything.
And she left me too.

That was like, how could this happen to me again?
And after that, I was just--
I gave up.
I was left by everybody except my gay family.
They saw my struggles and never left, with all the drama.
And I told myself, it's OK.
You're good enough, and you're going to make it.
That was my aha moment.
- The message has always been there,
but you are in a place where you can actually hear it.
I mean, really hear it.
And you have five badges to prove it.

And in Vietnam, they think America is like--
money grows on trees, right?
When you get to America, you made it.
So, of course when you were promised heaven, you know,
you of course, want to go.
- How do your grandparents feel about Plastique?
- They always refer to me as, like, very artistic.
That's the artistic one in our family.

I mean, there's so many things to think about.
But I know in my mind who I think deserves this.

- It's a tough decision because me
and Mik, we are super close, yes.
But I have to do what's best for me too.
It's charity, but it's also strategy.
I know I want to be in the top three.
Me, myself, and I. That's who I want.
Period, point blank, bottom line, cut and dry.
This will be close enough.

- All my new sisters.
Plastique is my girl, and I do want to give it to her.
But I've been playing the game eye for an eye.
So when I heard that this twist was here,
I knew my choice right off the bat.
This is an easy vote for me.
You know, you gave me a badge, Nina.
And the best thing I could do is repay you.
And this is the only way I could do it.
And you got my vote because of it.
I wouldn't be here without you, girl.
♪ ♪
- Oh, my God, I don't know who to pick.
Girl, I'm really trying to figure out who the hell I'm
going to pick because, girl, I entered
this workroom with Angie.
And you know Vanjie, I love Vanjie so much.
Like, oh, my God.
I kind of want to do it for her, too.
And Nina is a funny ass bitch.
Even though I try to get her whenever I have the chance,
I would love to see her in the finale.
This is so hard.
I really feel like I should be smart in my decision.
Oh, my God.
I don't know.
But I'm just going to go with what my heart tells me
I pick my sister, Plastique.
She has been slaying every single challenge, every runway.
She deserves to be in the top.
♪ ♪
Whoo!
What choice did I make right now?
Oh, my God.
♪ ♪
- I'm feeling nauseous
because what if someone with two badges
wins the extravaganza and then get voted a double diamond?
They'll have like, 10 badges.
It could knock me out of the final three.
Oh, there's just so much math.
Some people might be voting strategically,
but I'm going to let my heart decide.
Roxxxy's been my rock this season.
Thank you, my queen.
And hopefully, we can be in that finale together.
♪ ♪
- I'm trying to play odds on best chances of me
getting to the top three.
It's a game.
I have to remind myself that this is a game.
Everyone pull out your notebooks.
Roxxxy has five badges.
No one's going to vote for Roxxxy.
But if I were to cast my vote for anybody else,
there's a potential that somebody
will also vote for that person, which would
push them into the finale.
So if I throw my vote to Roxxxy,
I'm not give it to anybody else
who's eligible to be doubled.
Essentially, I am negating the vote to keep somebody out
of the finale who's not me.
I'm playing strategy because I want to be in the final three.
Roxxxy, you got my first vote.
You get my last.
