"I'm gonna do it my way."

short answer to the question. - Right, good.
- I still feel very much me throughout it, though.
- You have been. - You know.
- You have confidence. I think that's what it is.
- Yeah. - You have a strong sense
of self, of who you are. - Yeah.
- Where'd you get that?
- [sighs]

and I--I wasn't me.
Like, year eight, I don't know how old you are,
this guy made, um, knuckle dusters with pins
and cut my face up. - [gasps]
- And, um, my mom and dad
moved me from Liverpool to the whirl
and then my mom sat me down and said,
"This is a fresh start.
You can be anyone and anything you wanna be now.'
And I went into that school in year nine.
And the first kid that said to me, "Hey, are you gay?"
I went, "Yeah, and what?"
And that was it, like-- - Aww.
- And that's when my confidence started growing.
Not being afraid to be flamboyant.
I remember me dad screaming down the stairs,
"We're going to a family barbecue.
Why are you orange?"
You know what I mean? [laughter]
And I was like, "You don't like me being gay."
And he was like, "No, I don't like you being orange!"

- He wanted--you were okay being gay,
just not orange. - Yeah!
- And he's a big butch fireman. - Aww.

let alone a winner like me.

But what has kept you from working
outside the box in terms of humor and the acting?

It's just that child in me has always
had that doubt because my parents being like,
"No, you can't. You're not allowed to do this.
You can't do that. You can't do that."
And I feel like I still do have that little doubt in me
whenever I'm faced with a challenge.
Like, "Oh, I can't do this."
- And your family in Saint Martin,
did you have to leave when you came out?

my mom had a chat with me.
She was like, "Akeem, are you gay or not?"
And I was like," Yeah, I am."
She was like, "Have you slept with boys?"
And I was like," Yes, I have."
Then I couldn't stand up for myself the way that I am now.
So, took off in the plane that day and never looked back
and I just felt liberated, and I could be queer
and I can live my life the way I wanna live it.
- Do you talk to them?
- We are kind of getting somewhere now and--
and my sister, she's kept me and held me together
in times when I felt like I really
couldn't keep it together.
And I keep remembering, "You have someone else on earth
that really depends on you to be strong,
so you cannot let them down."
- Aww. - Wow.
- She's lucky to have you.

My inner voice doesn't give me love and praise very well.
- You don't give yourself that pat on the back.
Where did you learn that behavior?

in Birmingham, I think.
I learned to think not to raise my head too far up.
- Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble.
- Mustn't grumble.
Emotions are for other people.
I come from a family of helpers.
Very wonderful people full of their kind of love.

in a way that is unapologetic.
Are you able to do that?
- Well, I'll give it a try.

I mean, I certainly do like the sound of my own voice
sometimes, as you may have noticed.

regardless of whether I take that crown or not, um,
I'm gonna do exactly the same thing,
which is go out there and be 100%--150% totally myself
and keep doing it.
The crown would be added validation to that.

[laughter]
- I might not have a badge,
but I've got gumption
and I've got a catsuit to die for.

- Girls, has anybody's experience
been anything different than they thought it was gonna be?
- It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
- Yeah. - Like, it's an intense
experience, and not just the drag.
I feel like it's the endurance you need for it.
- It's almost like a race. - Yeah.
- Imagine that! - Imagine that.
[laughter]
- Even though, yes, it's been a pressure pot,
and at some points it's boiling...
- Yeah. - But I've just loved
every second of it.
It's just been so fun!
I wanted to come here to prove that I could do it
to myself and to everybody else that never believed in me,
or they said I'd never make my dreams come true.
Ha!
- I know we joke about, you know, having badges and stuff,
but you do deserve to be here just as much
as the next-- - Thank you so much.
- Because you're you. There's not another you.
- Yeah. - And you've proved
time and time that this is your stage.
- That's so nice. Thank you so much.
- Do you know what I mean? both: I love you.
- We're gonna smash tonight. - What's that on my face?
- Oh, shit, have you got ear!
- Ahh! DANNY: Oh, fuck. Sorry.
- I'll join the clown-- I'll join the circus.
[laughter]
- What do you think you've learned, Cheds?
- I'm learning how to be more me again.
It's been a really transformative experience.
It's reminded me of some stuff that I'd forgotten I could do.
It has showed me some things that I didn't know I could do,
and it's taught me some things that I had no idea
I'd ever be able to do.
- I hope when you watch this back,
you realize how amazing you've done.
- Yeah. - You've done amazing.
- You've done so incredible, babe.
Like, you've really just blown this whole situation
outta the park.
- I just--I just wanna do-- I wanna do my family proud,
and I wanna do-- - Well, you will, and you have.
- Definitely.
- I wanna feel like I've put something here
that's meant to be here.
- Well, babe, you absolutely have.

When Alan brought out that laser pen and you just
went--and he said," What would I do if I just put this
laser on the [babbles]?" [laughter]

- Oh, thanks.
Ca-caw! Coo!
Cleh! [coughs]

going nowhere, bitch.
Do you know what I do think will go down in history?
Your Lil Nas X, bitch.

- That was comedy genius. - Yeah.
- The moments I have loved of yours
are probably the ones that you like the least
in that I have enjoyed seeing you survive, pull it out.
But in addition to that, the way you walk a runway--
- Oh, yes. - It's amazing.
- Wow, thank you.
I am living proof that you can accomplish anything
you wanna accomplish in life, and if you put up
a good fight, honey, you'll be here in the finale, okay?
So don't ever doubt yourself.
Don't ever for one second think you can't do what you can do.
I've learned that, you know, coming on the show,
make sure you wear things that you can lip sync in.
[laughter]
- Cheddar, I loved Rachelle.
both: La Cockroach!
Oui, oui, oui. - [purrs]
- Moi Cherie, surely it is good to be
a little dirty sometimes, no? [laughs]
- Every time I look at your station,
I see those cockroaches.
I'm just like, "What?"
- I'm keeping them.
They're my children now. They're all my children.
- How about our Linda? How's our Linda doing?
Linda the cockroach. - Linda.
Oh, my God. What happened to Linda?

I can't really do that.

You present them fantastically.

Leather, feathers, feminine, masculine.
I just absolutely love it.

really one for the storybooks.

and your looks has been unbelievable.
And tonight's is quintessentially Cheddar,
quintessentially drag, but beautiful.

your game, and yet you've managed to stay true to both
the challenges and yourself.

You look gorgeous.
You're a pro, and I've witnessed you navigate
not only the weekly challenges but the challenges
in opening yourself up.
- I've done things I definitely thought I'd never be doing
in drag, and I have loved that freedom
and know that if I can do those here in this environment.
I know I can do anything in the world,

You are so filled with personality and life,

that has opened it up.

And I think probably your eye for fashion, your eye
as a stylist has allowed you to look for the bits
that everyone else may have missed.
The performance was beautiful.
- You killed that choreography.
You had such great energy.
I was like, "Oh, I didn't know Jonbers had all that."
- Who knew you could dance like that?
You knew you could dance like that.
- Yes.
- I knew if I just persisted with it,
I would get it and not to get defeated because that's what
I'd done with the girl group and I thought,
I'm not going back there.
I'm going forward.
I had the best time on that stage today.
It was just electric.

- Ladies, a lot of young, sweet, sensitive souls
watch this show.
Looking for clues as to how to navigate their lives.
With them in mind I wanna ask Black Peppa,
what advice would you give to six-year-old Akeem?
- It's so hard to watch that photo.
I remember taking this picture, and I remember
being so unhappy that I couldn't play outside
with other kids, and I just always
was in this strict upbringing that I just couldn't be free.
And the things that people said to me that they probably don't
remember, it hurt me so much, and I forgive them because I
had to move on with my life.
And I just wanna tell him that you are amazing.
You have everything inside yourself
to take you far in life,
and you're gonna have to make sure that you do not give up.
No matter how hard things get, you're gonna
be able to get out of that island where you're from,
and you're gonna be able to finally be free one day,
and you're gonna finally understand why you feel
the way that you feel because everything that you feel,
nothing's wrong with you.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
Cheddar Gorgeous, what advice would you give
[crying] to five-year-old Michael?
- Oh.
- From as early as I can remember,
I always felt like a grown-up.
I don't know why you felt that you had to grow up so fast.
But you are not as old, and you are not as wise
as you like to think you are.
Be young, especially when you grow up.
And just know that you are surrounded by love,
and you're gonna be surrounded by more love
than you possibly know, and more love than you
could possibly accept.
You deserve it.

to do whatever you want.

fully locked away, no one's getting near it.
- Sod the crown, I'll have the scepter, thank you very much.

all: Cheers!
- Whoo! - Yay!
- Now, just between us girl friends, what do you think?
Who should be crowned the UK's next
"Drag Race" superstar?
Let's start with Black Peppa.
- She arrived here and just took my breath away
and tonight back with a bang.
That was the performance you give in a finale.
- That kid can perform.
The dancing, the look, all of it, the body.
She was serving it.
- There was fire there, there was fierceness,
and yet, she smiles and after hearing
just a snippet of her backstory,
she's here in the final, that's amazing.
- She has persevered.
She's a fierce queen, and she's earned her spot.
- She is a star.
- Will Black Pepper and White Salt be going on tour?
- Yes, it's the reunion of Salt-N-Pepa.
[laughter] - The condiment sisters.
[laughter]
- Let's talk about Cheddar.
- There's something very refreshing about a queen
who knows who she is, what she does, and what
she can deliver really great.
- In the beginning, I thought
I might get bored of perfection,
but somehow, I didn't.
'Cause there was always a twist in it, a quirk in it,
something to get your teeth into.
- She's intelligent, and most importantly,
she's, like, provocative and sometimes
it provokes you to think.
- Looks-wise, I'm not sure she faltered ever,
and tonight, I mean, this look was dynamic.
- Not a centimeter of it was unthought about.
- I'm sure there's influences there
that I'm not clever enough to get,
but she always has a message, and it is always detailed
within an inch of its life.
- She is a real pro.
She has incredible.
- All right, let's talk about Danny Beard.
- Tonight, in the performance, you could
tell how proud Danny was.
Not only can Danny turn a look,
Danny was also pushing himself.
He went for it and it has been so much fun.
- That's the queen I'm queuing up in the rain
to go and see--an entertainer, a proper entertainer.
- He never disappointed in any of the challenges.
And you know what? He makes it look easy.
To be spontaneous like that, it takes me weeks.
[laughter]
- The talent is there, but also not afraid
to show the emotions, which gives us
a fully-rounded human being.
- I would watch Danny perform the phone book.
- If you can find a phone book.
- Do they even exist anymore? - I don't know.
- I don't even think so. [laughter]
- What's a phone? - Exactly.
- All right, let's talk about Jonbers Blonde.
- She has come on such a journey
and tonight was a spectacular night for Jonbers.
She came out here in that incredible catsuit,
killed it with the choreography,
and then that outfit tonight, look how pretty she looked!
Like, who is this girl?
- I wish I could travel back in time ten weeks and put a bet
on Jonbers being in the final, 'cause it would've been
about a hundred to one. - Yeah.
- It was amazing to see how far she's come,
and I think that's all happened here in front of our eyes,
and what a joy.
- I don't think in recent history,
I can remember a queen who's been
able to apply these critiques as well as she has.
- To me, she's a bit like a wind turbine,
you know what I mean?
You can use that wind and use it for good
and that's what she did, it's true.
- Silence, I've made my decision.
