Introduction

The episode kicks off with a light-hearted banter between Monet and Bob, setting the stage for their detailed breakdown of the RuPaul's Drag Race finale. Monet welcomes listeners back, and together, they dive straight into the main content, bypassing any introductory segments or advertisements to focus solely on the finale's highlights.

Celebrating the Season 17 Winner: Anya Negative

Monet and Bob begin by congratulating the season's winner, Anya Negative. Monet emphasizes the challenges Anya faced as a Black queen in the competition, highlighting the potential criticisms regarding her victory as a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hire.

• Monet (05:11): "Anya, congratulations. Listen, on your nerve. You are a black girl in the winter circle. They will start to try to invalidate you immediately. They will try to tell you that everything you did was not worth it... you were DEI hire, baby."

Bob supports Monet’s sentiments, discussing how Anya's consistent performance—earning four wins—could have potentially earned her even more accolades.

• Bob (05:12): "People, people try to come at me. I said, Anya heard four wins. She could have easily had six. Do you agree?"
• Monet (05:53): "She definitely could have had five, easily."

They argue that Anya Negative could have been the most decorated winner in the show’s history, citing her strong performances in various challenges, including the Rusical and RDR Live.

Runway Looks Breakdown

The core of the episode revolves around dissecting each finalist's runway look. Monet and Bob provide both praise and constructive criticism, often blending humor with insightful observations.

Lucky Starz

Monet expresses admiration for Lucky Starz's look but wishes the headpiece had a more celestial shape to match the galaxy-inspired theme.

• Monet (06:27): "This look is so cool to me. I think it's really cool. I wish the head shape was a little bit different... It looks like the galaxy, but the shape is just... I don't know what this shape is."

Bob compares it to a version of Jada Essence Hall's galaxy-themed look.

• Bob (07:03): "It looks like a wack version of Jada Essence Hall's."

Ms. Joella Ella

They appreciate Ms. Joella's self-referential, upscale, and classy interpretation of her runway theme. Monet points out minor adjustments that could enhance the look's structure.

• Monet (07:48): "The face is a little small. It should be a square or a rectangle."
• Bob (08:05): "She's the slaying diva Los Angeles. She does whatever she wants, and we have to accept it."

Armona Lisa

Armona Lisa's look provokes a spirited debate between the hosts. Monet criticizes the dress for not effectively referencing her nickname "sadness," while Bob defends her overall aesthetic despite minor flaws.

• Monet (08:19): "When you and Raven bullied her on the Internet."
• Bob (09:06): "I do think this hair is cool. I love the hair."

Crystal Envy

Monet and Bob engage in a humorous yet critical analysis of Crystal Envy's appearance. Monet expresses skepticism about the exaggerated proportions of her outfit.

• Monet (10:03): "She looks three feet tall."
• Bob (10:14): "Crystal seems like a really swell gal."

Despite their critiques, they acknowledge Crystal's genuine beauty outside the competition context.

Acacia Forget

Both hosts are enamored with Acacia Forget's look, praising the attention to detail, the harmonious color palette, and the overall stunning appearance.

• Monet (13:21): "The attention to detail is so great here. This hair looks fantastic. This dress, I cannot find a single thing on this dress that I do not like."
• Bob (13:34): "I agree with you."

They highlight specific elements like the gloves, the cascading bra, and the impeccable makeup that make Acacia's look stand out.

Ms. Lexi Love

Monet appreciates Lexi Love's outfit while offering minor critiques about the expense of the floral elements. Bob concurs, noting that while the look is beautiful, it may not be the most befitting for a finale.

• Monet (28:03): "This is a really cool look."
• Bob (28:39): "I think it's a cool look... I do acknowledge it's very beautiful."

Anya Nerve

Anya's final look receives a mixed review. While Monet loves the dress's shoulder piece, she finds the headpiece somewhat odd. Bob delves into a detailed examination of the headpiece, initially mistaking elements as braids but later recognizing them as a combination of braids, chains, and other materials.

• Monet (29:22): "I don't love the headpiece so much..."
• Bob (29:59): "It is definitely braid."

Despite some confusion over the design elements, both hosts appreciate the overall aesthetic but wish for more coherence in the theme.

Sam Starr

Sam Starr's look is another focal point of discussion. Monet criticizes the initial cover-up and the inconsistencies in the outfit's design, while Bob admires her performance and energy despite finding the dresses somewhat hideous.

• Monet (48:07): "That first cover up that she had, I really didn't like it. It was so upsetting."
• Bob (48:32): "I loved a lot of what Sam did... but I agree with Bob on the hideous dresses."

They commend Sam's talent and stage presence, particularly her energy during performances and engagement with her family members.

Performances and Stage Presence

Monet and Bob extensively discuss the finalists' performances, emphasizing the importance of live singing, choreography, and stage dynamics. They critique certain performances for lacking authenticity while praising others for their theatricality and engagement.

• Monet (36:07): "I thought this was a great performance... I didn't want to fight Sam."
• Bob (37:51): "Anya is such a great live performer... theatrical performer."

Lip Sync Showdown

The hosts analyze the final lip sync performances between Anya Nerve and Jules Sparkles. Monet criticizes Jules for inconsistent choreography and unnecessary props like umbrellas, while Bob notes that Anya, despite not having many lip syncs, delivered a strong performance.

• Monet (66:16): "What Jules Sparkles is doing, it don't make no fucking sense for this song."
• Bob (67:38): "It was a fine number."

Ultimately, both agree that Anya deserved the win, citing her overall consistency and charisma throughout the season.

RuPaul's Performance and Stage Setup

Monet and Bob briefly touch upon RuPaul's performance during the finale, expressing admiration for her stage presence and costume changes. They lament the absence of the grand theater setup, preferring the more intimate stages of previous seasons.

• Monet (41:38): "RuPaul's wearing... I love this dress."
• Bob (43:40): "I miss the theaters. Bring back the theater."

Final Thoughts and Winner's Welcome

As the episode nears its conclusion, Monet and Bob wholeheartedly welcome Anya Negative to her reign, extending an invitation for her to join them on the Sibling Rivalry podcast for future discussions.

• Monet (62:49): "Anya Nerve deserves a win... maybe Monet will have you on Monet Talks."
• Bob (69:16): "I'm so happy Anya. Anya did such a great job this season. I'm very happy she won."

[Monet X Change]

Welcome back to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The United first of all, you're not the only one. You're not the only one.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I'm the one with prescription glasses.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

These are prescription. These are pair eyewear baby I have.

[Monet X Change]

PA to my PA are prescription I need to get.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's you. Mine are prescription, baby.

[Monet X Change]

I don't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bolivia.

[Monet X Change]

Well, we've already had a whole conversation about you not having prescription, but we've literally. We've done this on the podcast before. Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Look, look.

[Monet X Change]

That'S not how. That's not how impaired vision works, but sure. Jan. Welcome back to the United States of America. How are you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm doing very well. I'm very tired, but I'm so.

[Monet X Change]

And you look it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know you're not talking about with that half shaved ass head.

[Monet X Change]

Let's see yours. Take off your hat, you bitch. You balding bitch. Take off your hat. Take off your hat. Exactly.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm doing good. I almost said, oh, my God. Talking to you is making me. Fill me with energy, but when I tell y'all, I am drained. I feel like I run the fucking Brooklyn Marathon, you know, when I was.

[Monet X Change]

On the Traitors, a few people from Survivor were talking about what it's like to do their show, and I said to myself, they were like, you should. I was like, I would never in my life do that. You could never. You couldn't pay me to do, baby.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And they do pay them that shit, y'all. As someone who has seen almost every. Every season Survivor, from 13 groups to current, I looked at him like, yeah, it looks horrible. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This fucking thing. They had us come to Fiji. That shit is hard. It's fucking hard.

[Monet X Change]

It's like a mini version, right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, we did a mini version of it and we really built a shelter. We really fucking slept in the elements. It was the second worst storm they've ever had for the show, and we had to do hours through it. I was sleeping on bamboo under a shelter, pouring rain on me from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 6 o'clock the next morning. That shit was fucking crazy.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, it is. I don't understand why people would want to go do Survivor. I mean, the money.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not even worried about the money. I mean, I like the game of it. And, like, I don't know. Ooh, that's. But now I'm like, I want to prove to myself I can do the actual show.

[Monet X Change]

You're crazy. But we're not talking about Survivor. We're here to talk about the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17. And girls, girls, girls. We have a new winner of Drag Race. First of all, let's just take a brief moment to congratulate the Season 17 winner, the latest inductee into the Drag Race hall of Fame. Please make some noise for Anya. Negative.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes.

[Monet X Change]

Get it. Anya, congratulations. Welcome, girl. You're in the winner's circle. Listen, on your nerve. You are a black girl in the winter circle. They will start to try to invalidate you immediately. They will try to tell you that everything you did was not worth it, that you. It was handed to you. You were DEI hire, baby. You have the crown and they do not. So do not let them even get into your brain for even a small for a second, because you were fantastic. And I think you deserve to win this season. So welcome to that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I said, people, people try to come at me. I. I said, ana heard four wins. She could have easily had six. Do you agree?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she could have, actually.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Right? People are like, Monet, come on. Now you're just being ridiculous. Come on, Monet.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, she definitely could have had five, easily. How many did she have?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Four. She has four. She could have had six.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I think she could have been the most. I think she could have been the most decorated winner in the history of the show, to be honest.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She could have won the rusical. That fucking brand new day S number. When she came on bust out, she sounded fucking amazing. The choreo was sick. She could have won that. And she could have also won RDR Live.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, you're not wrong. So let's talk about some of these looks, Monet. Let's start with Lucky Starz. This look is so cool to me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hey, slow down, Susanna. Open up the document. Yeah, okay.

[Monet X Change]

I mean.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, it's cool. It's fine. I wasn't blown away by it. I thought it was fine. I wasn't gagging like you are, but I thought. I thought it was a nice one.

[Monet X Change]

I'm not saying I'm ganging, but I think it's really cool. I wish the head shape was a little bit different. I wish it gave something a little bit more, I don't know, celestial. I get celestial easily from what the celestial is not lost on me. She looks like the galaxy, but the shape of it is just. I don't even know what this shape is. What is this shape?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you know what it is? When I see this, I see it looks like a wack version of Jada Essence Hall's. Remember when Jada did this exact same.

[Monet X Change]

Thing on the lights?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She had like a galaxy around her thing.

[Monet X Change]

I don't remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Let's go on to Ms. Joella. Ella. Ella. Don't forget the Ella. I thought this was so clever and a cute way to be self Referential. This was a nice, upscale, classy version of her ridiculous fucking Runway. And these are the self references that I can get behind a drag race. Now some bitches be referencing themselves. I'm like. And no one knows what they're referencing. You're like, you did that thing on episode five of your season. Okay, this makes sense.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I think this is a cool outfit. I mean, out of context, I would not like this outfit. But in the context, she's obviously basically wearing a quilt or some sort of a duvet cover. Um, and the thing with the face, it's a. It's a little small. And I think it should. And I think it should be a square or a rectangle.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, it should have been a square rectangle. But it's. It's Joella. She's. She's the slaying diva Los Angeles. She does whatever she wants, and we have to accept it.

[Monet X Change]

And I am accepting it. Let's go on to Armona, Lisa. Is this because they called her sad? Because y'all called her sadness?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think so, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

When you and Raven bullied her on the Internet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You mean like how you bullied Mistress Isabelle Brooks?

[Monet X Change]

And she deserves it. And I bully her again. I will never stop bullying mistress.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow.

[Monet X Change]

Now are you gonna stop bullying? Are you gonna keep bullying hormonal Lisa?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I did it one time. I didn't keep one. Actually, I did it once, and I haven't kept on like you.

[Monet X Change]

That's cause you're a back down bitch. And next time I see mistress, my foot's gonna be on this bitch's fucking neck. Her. Her newfound neck.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now there's so much of it to find. She got so much neck.

[Monet X Change]

I don't. I don't think that was worth referencing. But also, I feel like if she did, she should have really went for it. Like she did a dragcon, you know what I mean? Like an upscale version of what she. If she would have came out with like a really cunt sweater dress, that would have been fierce. If this is not a reference to being called sadness, I don't get why she's wearing it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't get it either. You're right. Like a girl. Like, if she would have came off and they fierce sweater gown. She loves a mermaid. Make it a fierce gray mermaid or whatever color that bitch wears. And paint her body blue and have like a sickness. And she's known for a bob. Bitch. You are the cola. L. I s a. She's known for the bob. Like, I don't understand why she would Go for a cunty item. These girls. These girls.

[Monet X Change]

But she's like a cloud. Cause clearly this shoulder piece is a cloud. Obviously.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't even get that until you just said it. I ain't even going to clothe.

[Monet X Change]

And then these little raindrops, I would sit on tears. Maybe it has nothing to do with sadness. Maybe there's not tears. There are raindrops. But. But then, like, I don't. I don't like it if that's. There's nothing wrong with this dress. But I just don't understand why. If it's not about her being called sadness.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I also. I do think this hair is cool. I like this. I love this hair. I would wear this in, like, in. Not these colors, but in something else. I think this hair is really cool.

[Monet X Change]

It looks heavy down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It does. It does. It does.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on to Crystal Envy. How tall is this bitch? She looks three feet tall. Oh, my God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I want to say something, but it's going to sound really mean. I just didn't say it.

[Monet X Change]

Just say it now. You can't do that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't. Crystal. Anyway, I think you were. You seem like a really swell gal. I think. You see, this is why I don't say stuff. Stop doing stuff like that. Can you stop?

[Monet X Change]

That's like when I said that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When I said that thing about Arietti and you just blew it up talking about some Monet. You see, you'd be doing too much. But I just don't. She seems really cool and real nice. I just don't get how everyone is like, oh, she's so beautiful. She's so fierce. I just.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, I'm not doing anything. That was ginger.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's pretty. But I'm like. People are like, she's the most stunning and sickening most beautiful one also. I'm like, she's fine.

[Monet X Change]

Are people saying that? Yes. People are saying she's the most stunning of the cast.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes.

[Monet X Change]

Send me one screen grab. Literally one. I'll give you to the end of time. I'll give you the end of time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't screen grab when I saw it.

[Monet X Change]

That's why I said, I'll give you to the end of time. You have a lot of things. You haven't come up with a single one of the things I give you the end of time on. I don't like this dress. I don't think she has the leg length to pull off this skirt.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This cut. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

I think I like it more if the colors are Actually inverted if her corset was black and the train was cream or this off white or white color. I do like the gloves though. I think the gloves are really cute.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And that being said, out of drag, she is a very beautiful person. Like Crystal Envy has a very beautiful face, very beautiful body. I just. This might sound sad too, but it gets very vwm, right?

[Monet X Change]

I don't think that's shady, but no, I don't get vwm. VWM feels taller and more and more mature.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Specifically in the face.

[Monet X Change]

I don't, I don't see that. But also she draws on, she draws on titties. I can tell the girls you draw titties on the 3D titties or the 2D titties are wild to me because like I, I get, I, I still do not understand why girls pad their hips and not their bra. I, I do not. I will never understand the desire to make yourself pear shaped on purpose. I will never understand that. I, I, it will never make sense to me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, to be fair, when I don't always think that's true and say pear shape because from the front they have, they have with the corset on, you have, you have an hourglass. It's from the side they be looking.

[Monet X Change]

This is not an hourglass. This is the bitch. Not a bottle of Coca Cola. It is the bottom and then. No, it's not. An hourglass is crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, it's not an hourglass, but hormonal.

[Monet X Change]

Lisa, when she was doing that lip sync, that bitch had a motherfucking. During the lip sync line. Peruza. That bitch had a motherfucking hour. She bodied these hoes. Her body was. Body went crazy hormone.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree, I agree. But I don't think like a pair. A pair would be like you would. Is really small on the top and have whole thing. That's a pair. They just. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Let's move on to the absolutely stunning. Acacia forgot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is sickening.

[Monet X Change]

My God, she look so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She looks. I don't know who made it, but the flower she is is called the inac. It's. It's called the encase. You forgot flower.

[Monet X Change]

Is it really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes.

[Monet X Change]

Wow. The attention to detail is so great here. This hair looks fantastic. This dress, I cannot find a single thing on this dress that I do not like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree with you.

[Monet X Change]

I love this leg poking up the side.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree.

[Monet X Change]

The color of the nails go so great with the outfit. I love this, the bra, the bra coming out of the bodice. I love the way that it Cascades behind her. I love how her. How the dip under the arm fits perfect. This bitch looks phenomenal. Acacia looks like a million dollars.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Even though she had the flower in the hair. The hair looks beautiful with this.

[Monet X Change]

The flowers are forget me nots.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sorry. Forget me nots.

[Monet X Change]

Sorry, Acacia. I will never forget this fucking look.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That I think is beautiful and even. And even. You know, I. I know people have. I've made comments about her blush. Her blush looks great in this for me. I think her face, her makeup, this hair. She looks absolutely stunning and beautiful. The proportions of this gown are so phenomenal. Even having it this, like, piece at the back that's. Oh, it's so stunningly beautiful. I love this. I want to wear this. I don't even wear drag big like this anymore, really. But I would. I would. I would love to wear this.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. You look good, girl. Shout out to the case.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now on to my niecey poo or whatever she used to be. I don't know what she used to me. We'll find out soon. Ms. Clemor Coretti. This picture of me. So JK just pulled up this picture of me and Corey King. This was years ago when I performed in Boston. I forget what club. I think it's. I don't know what club.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is girl. It's not. It's not bad.

[Monet X Change]

Well, wait till we get to Alana Jarret, which is one of the best nudes I've ever seen on that motherfucking show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've heard her nudes are great.

[Monet X Change]

I bet they are. But I do love this dress. This dress is so cute. I love what's happening on the trim this. This, like, all these lines and geometric shapes at the bottom. It looks really cool.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I think it looks cool. Her makeup. This bitch has figured out her face so well. Her make her face. I love what she does with the highlight in her face. Especially, like, I'm trying to get into these. Into these, into these new. These. These new age girls. This, like, they take the ever so the blend of the white into their warmer.

[Monet X Change]

I'm bringing it all the way down here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. It's so, so beautiful. I don't know how to do that. I'm trying to learn how to do that. And I think this hair on her looks so beautiful. Corey looks her. And so. So y'all. How Jacob has these. He has them side by side on Acacia and Corey on one page together. These two bitches look so fucking good. So good. This is so impressive.

[Monet X Change]

I agree.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you ever feel like you're in a dinner loop?

[Monet X Change]

Like you just rotating between the same three meals every week because you're too burnt out to plan something new, or you just did not grow up cooking creatively? I have, like, three things that I know how to make from scratch. That's me, baby. Between work and everything else going on, three things.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And only three looks of drag, too, that you got. You just be rotating all the time.

[Monet X Change]

I just wanna remind you all that I beat money on a cooking competition. Listen, between work and everything else going on, the last thing I want to do is spend time figuring out what to eat, how to cook it, and then running to the store just to forget some of the ingredients. Okay, so finally, I gave Home Chef a try, and I wish I had done it sooner. Home Chef delivers fresh ingredients and Chef design recipes conven to your doorstep. To simplify your cooking experience, I've made meals like their honey garlic chicken. Am I Emeril Lagasse? Am I Gordon Ramsay? Am I Rachael Ray with green beans and mashed potatoes is so good. And their creamy Tuscan shrimp pasta, which I could bake for Jacob because Jacob loves pasta, which felt like something you'd get like a restaurant without, you know, the big price tag.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Uh, it's giving more Miss Netta. That's what you're giving.

[Monet X Change]

You can miss that. That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And speaking of price, Home Chef customers save an average of $86 a month on groceries, which I can definitely see when I'm looking at my little statement. Cause, you know, I've been trying to be more conscious about my money, and I, like, the Home Chef is helping me stay that way. The Portions are generous and I don't waste food because everything is perfectly pre portioned, y'all. In the pandemic, I was a home chef girly, literally all the time. And they beat me. They beat meals for two. But I was single and baby, they were still those meals for two became a meal for one. And I was putting them meals away was so good.

[Monet X Change]

You deserve it. You, you work hard. You deserve it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I did.

[Monet X Change]

I did.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What I love, though. They have over 30 opt options every week, and it's surprisingly easy to filter for different dietary preferences. There's even a dedicated family menu and microwave meals for nights when you don't want to cook at all. Oh, and when I really don't want to think, I go for the five ingredient meals. Just five things y'all already measured. Super quick, super easy. It is perfection.

[Monet X Change]

So here's the deal. For a limited time, Home Chef is offering our listeners 50% off. Did y'all hear that? 50% off and free shipping for your first box, plus free desserts for life. So go to home chef.com rivalry. That's home chef.com rivalry for 50% off your first box and free dessert for life. Again, it's home chef.com/rivalry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We all feel it. Everything is more expensive these days. Groceries, rent, even grabbing a couple.

[Monet X Change]

Bitch the eggs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What was that ginger binge in the challenge? Eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs. And the last thing you want on top of that is falling into credit card debt with high interest rates. That's why I've been telling everyone about a smarter way to build credit without the stress. And that's chimes Credit builder, Visa credit card. This card is different. It's a secured credit card with no credit check, no annual fees, and no interest. You build credit using money you set aside there beyond your means. And every on time payment you make helps move your credit in the right direction. It's honestly such a great tool for anyone who's been trying to build or rebuild their credit the right way. Right, Bob, You've been trying to do that.

[Monet X Change]

I agree. I actually, I, I, I built my credit up through, through a, through, through a chime Credit card. I had really, really bad credit. I had to get a credit card that could be, that could help me out. I had really, really bad credit. Good credit opens up a lot of doors. It can help you get lower rates on A car loan or mortgage makes it easier to get approved for a rental and even help plans for things like a family vac. Surprise expenses that love to pop up at the worst times. And baby, we are living in the worst times. Here are a few other features that I absolutely love. You can use the card anywhere.

[Monet X Change]

Let's move on to Arrietty. So I guess Arrietty, is this because, is this because Michelle says she looks like she's in Cats? Is that why she did this?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I guess. I don't know why she'll come to this finale dressed as a cat. I don't go, I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

I don't love this look. And I, what I hate most of all is that she, that she has to hold it up. Her walking and holding up this piece is so distracting. It's so upsetting to see someone like stopping their piece from flopping on top of their head. I did not like that. The makeup looks really, really good though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, you know, but you know, who knows? I don't know if she made it. I mean, obviously she's a great seamstress. Maybe she made it. But you know, sometimes these designers will do you wrong. I have definitely had to hold up a piece of two on a Runway because the designer, I dropped it off on my house as I was going off to the event. So you know who.

[Monet X Change]

Well, name the outfit and we'll do our own investigation.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, wait, go back one second to Corey King. Oh, you won't see it in this picture, but on her middle finger. Yeah, she had two short nails per finger. Cause she's dating Lydia and the insinuation is sometimes. Well, a lot of my lesbian friends when they in relationships, the fingering fingers. We have shorter nails on her so they can get in there.

[Monet X Change]

You gotta dig around. Speaking of digging around, let's go into Lydia Butthole Collins. And when I saw this the first time I like the longer I look at this. I started falling completely out of love with it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh my God, Bob, we're so in sync. I agree too. This boa looks so cheap compared to everything else.

[Monet X Change]

And I don't understand the piece on one side of her head but not on the other side of her makeup and hair look absolutely stunning.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, Lydia has beautiful makeup, but I.

[Monet X Change]

Feel like the beautiful side of her head doesn't make sense to me. And I think she always like to put under her hair. I just don't know what's going on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think this is part of Lydia though. Like it doesn't have to make sense. She likes it and she thinks it's cool and it makes her. I will say this. If I saw this on a mannequin, I just saw some random thing going on somebody's head. I was like is that. Is that Lydia's dress?

[Monet X Change]

If it makes you happy. Speaking of happy, let's move on to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And why her fingers so fat.

[Monet X Change]

I. Yeah it's. It's gotta be the dress she doesn't shake with someone fat fingers. Yeah, her fingers look gigantic. All thumbs like you. Let's go on to Lana jar. I love. I did too look.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean are people arguing about this just Jada fail.

[Monet X Change]

No. This look is amazing. She looks so fucking stunning. And this mother. Corey, take notes. This is how a dark skinned girl nude illusions.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think Corey's. I think Lydia might. Lydia Alana might be a little lighter than Cory, Bob. And that's the problem because I think this, this looks like the color Cory had on.

[Monet X Change]

It looks good. It looks amazing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I. I can't tell where it ends and where it end. Where it begins. That's how good it is to be honest.

[Monet X Change]

What is up with this? What is she. But what the fuck is she holding? Like a sleep mask?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, she has this. I didn't get the sleep mask of it all.

[Monet X Change]

Good morning. Like is she taking off her mat? I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh gooda morning.

[Monet X Change]

I'm really reaching at straw grasping at straws here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I know she like these Lucite pleaser shoes. These shoes. No, no. Bitch if you don't. And I know you. I know. I know you's a big foot of bitch and you like wearing These kind of shoes girl get you go to only maker. I have the same pair of shoes in 49. I bought it like 90 times. I just whatever. If I have an outfit that's very specific, I bought it, I get it wrapped or painted in the color of the outfit. This loose side shoe is taking me out. I do not like it. If we didn't see the shoe, that's one thing. But you are, you are accosting our vision with this damn loose side shoe. Do you like the shoe?

[Monet X Change]

No. No. It's a hideous shoe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I do like the detail. So subtle. But how she. I don't know why. And I think that's why all those collection of stones are to be a nipple. But I love this detail of it like going under her boob. I'm not bothered by that. I think it looks cool. Really cool.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on to Susie Toot who sent me some merch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, work. A lot of girls got their merch. I didn't get Susie suit merch.

[Monet X Change]

You just got back home. It's probably waiting for you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know where the fuck.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, anyway, but this is such a cool clever idea for this outfit. I, I, I, I, I do wish that she had was better at the puppeteering because the way she was puppeteering made them look like arms. But if she were able to do things that made it look less arm like. But anyway, that being said, this is such a fucking cool outfit. It is really cool.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is really cool. It took me a second to realize what was going on. Slo mo slo when I say it, but when I say it, it's a good second. But yeah, I think Suzy looks amazing. I mean Suzy, honestly, one of the Runway queens of the season. I think she is top three. One of the Runway queens of the season. Susie kissed her.

[Monet X Change]

It's funny because they kind of gaslight her to believe that she was, that she was horrible.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, they really did. Susie really. This, and this is, this is beautiful. This is so stunning. So well made. I love the hair. Why does she have the, the, the plant heads on the, on the red carpet?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're big.

[Monet X Change]

I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're big. What do you mean? They're very big.

[Monet X Change]

They were big. They were like, they're like the size of, they were bigger than her head.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, but you on, you're getting your carpet, your fixture taken on the record on the blue carpet.

[Monet X Change]

I, I tried to find a reason money. I, I, you, you pose a question. I try to find an answer. I don't. I don't have any other justification. Maybe they're uncomfortable. Maybe they weren't done. I don't know. I don't know. Um, let's go on to the one, the solamente. You gonna say her name?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, there are multiple jewels, and they're all sparkling jewels.

[Monet X Change]

Sparkles. I think that this outfit is really stunning. I love the shape of it. It is. Who made this?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know, but it's fierce.

[Monet X Change]

It's so good. My God, it's amazing. Like, you can't even stand near this bitch. This thing is so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it's literally. And it's again, a very subtle nod. To who? To her time on the show. But it's kind of like a big glam. The version of her first look this season when she came up in that pink tulle skirt thing with the ballerina tying of her shoe. She looks so. She looks like a fairy tale princess just coming to RuPaul's Drag Race to find her Prince charming. I love, love, love how excited. Exquisite jewels look. She looks amazing. These girls, honestly, they better fucking work.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she looks really fucking good. Let's go on to Ms. Lexi Love. So I, I, I think this is a cool. I will say one thing is that I, I, I feel like the flowers don't look expensive. That being said, this is a really cool look.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it's a cool look. I don't think it's for me for the finale of your season of Drag Race, but I do, I would agree to that. I do acknowledge it's a very beautiful. And again, referencing herself from episode one when she came in in the Love Wings, Victoria's Secret fantasy. But I wouldn't choose to end my time on Dragos like this, but she did. And, yeah, I think it's cool, but I think she could have stepped it up a little bit for the finale.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, let's go on to Anya Nerve. I love this dress. I don't love the headpiece so much, just because when I look through it, it seems kind of odd, but it does match the shoulder piece.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And they're braid. It's braids. They're braids. Did you know that?

[Monet X Change]

They're. Well, then what color is the hair?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think her hair is black, but I think their headpiece is made out of braids as well.

[Monet X Change]

I don't think that's true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it is. I'm looking at it. That's braiding. Those are braids. Like the pieces that are. Look At. Look at her head to the right like that. The pieces are, like, red and yellow. That's braids. The box braids or something like that.

[Monet X Change]

I'm not saying that, but I don't know. It doesn't look like it to me. Let me zoom all the way in.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hold on.

[Monet X Change]

Let me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, zoom in. Nigga, don't you should. I'm. I'm at 308% right now, and I'm looking at it. It is definitely braid.

[Monet X Change]

Is her shoulder braids? It's the same thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I. I don't have the answer. No, the shoulders does not have the braid.

[Monet X Change]

Are her shoulders. Is her shoulder made of hair, too?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not the shoulder, but on the bodice. Some of those are braids, too. That red piece going down over her boob, that's a braid. Brad's a braiding. I think it may. It's like a. It's a amalgamation of a hodgepodge of different braids and chains and things.

[Monet X Change]

Did you see this somewhere, or are you just making up this of your own? Like you just thinking to yourself as braids.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm looking at it with my eyes.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob, do those like braids to you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob, zoom into her head, like, right in the front of her head, right above her.

[Monet X Change]

Zoom in. It's not hair, Mo Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I promise you it is. Jacob. Jacob, do you want to weigh in on this?

[Monet X Change]

I'm looking. Sorry. I'm trying to see. They're fully braids.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Thank you. I don't understand what.

[Monet X Change]

But there's no braid on her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

On her bodice, like, one or two spots.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, now it makes less sense.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it's just different elements, Bob. Some of, like, those honeycomb things and braids and chains and, like, straws.

[Monet X Change]

Like I said, it makes. Now I understand that, and it makes less sense to me now when I thought it was like this, like, I don't know, structure thing, but now I know there's like, this. Because if it was coming out of her head, but there's a hair underneath it, so she has a hat made of hair. I like it less now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God. Let's go on to last. But that being said, I think I like it. I think it looks like something that Ruth Carter could have been Beyonce. Bianca said that. Could have been in Wakanda forever. I think she looks cool. I don't love what this new thing she's doing. Her makeup, how she brings the white from her lid all the way to the sides on her highlight.

[Monet X Change]

You think you want to start doing that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, but this is different. This is not what I'm. If you look at what Corey does and what this and what Lana does, this is different. I think Anya's like me. We're on our journey to figuring out, but we haven't quite figured it out yet. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

Got it. Let's go on to Sam Star.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, I was just saying.

[Monet X Change]

I'm sorry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Damn. And I think Ani looks beautiful. I think she looks great. And I think this is a very elevated form of what you've been trying to do on the show. Right. And the finale is the time for that to look as your most elevated self as you can for the finale of your season.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree she looks good, but I just don't like all that madness on her headpiece. Let's go over to Sam Star. This is another example. She looks good, but like the finale.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

But I can't think of anything wrong with this except maybe the hat size is a little bit upsetting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What'd you want to have bigger?

[Monet X Change]

I want a Scotch smaller. Like a Scotch smaller. But I love this color combo. I love this for these. This, like beaded fringe on the gloves.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just like that it looks good.

[Monet X Change]

But I just don't think it's right for the finale. Like this. This is the. I feel like she wore better stuff on the season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I think it was good for a finale. I think it was good. I like what Sam did.

[Monet X Change]

It also looks like she's from Texas and she's not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, God, here we go.

[Monet X Change]

Does this. If you saw someone in South Fitness, it said, this person. Where is this person from? You would look and say Texas. She's not from Texas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're right. But so what would someone from Alabama do? It's from the fucking town. What Alabama?

[Monet X Change]

They wear cowboy hats in Alabama. They don't wear fucking cowboy hats in Alabama.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, apparently she's from Alabama. Apparently they do.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, I have worn a cowboy hat, but not to be like, this is me. Like, cowboy hats are not a part of that thing in Alabama. It's not part of the hooking up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

With someone from the Alabama. I'm not from the. I'm telling you, she.

[Monet X Change]

I used to live in Alabama. Ain't high enough.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But she had a different experience. But apparently 10 gallon hats are part of her thing in Alabama. It makes her. Why do you want to fight this bitch about wearing a hat?

[Monet X Change]

It just doesn't make sense. I think anyone would agree this bitch looks like she's from Texas. Everything about this look says Texas, like. And I know I'm not. You're not about to make me think I'm crazy for looking at this bitch and this motherfucking. She's wearing stars. That is the Texas. Aren't y'all the Lone Star, Taylor?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, they are the Lone Star, but she has multiple stars.

[Monet X Change]

Z. Z, Z. I know, but that's their theme. They love stars.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, so you're from Alabama. What would you do to represent Alabama? Have. Have. Come out, come out, come out, come out with a damn slave. With a slave.

[Monet X Change]

I already told you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You want to come up like she from the antebellum South. What you want to do?

[Monet X Change]

I already told you. Come on stage and kiss my cousin. I'm already giving you the answer.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Damn.

[Monet X Change]

Drop out of school in seventh grade and kiss my cousin.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So next, all the. The top four give their talent numbers.

[Monet X Change]

And Jewel, Texas has slaves, too. Let that be remembered, Texas. We remember that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Call Taylor here to answer for his people. And Jules comes out and she does her song. Ding, ding dong. Now, now, just ding. Just ding, right? I don't understand what this has to do with Jules Journey on the show. Like, never once did Jules come off as this ditzy kid that's like, oh, I'm just falling over. So, like, I just. And again, I don't know how much they have to input they have in their final song. I mean, all I can go is by Bob's. What he told me is that Bob had saying what he did. I don't know how that has changed till now, but it just seems like such a strange encapsulation to her time on the show because she never came off. As a matter of fact, she came off as someone being very sure of herself and being very smart and very funny and doing things like she never came off of, like, ooh, I'm just falling this way. I'm falling like. It was so strange to me that she did that.

[Monet X Change]

I really liked this song. I think it was one of my favorite performances of the night. I thought it was. I actually laughed out loud maybe twice, which is a lot for, like, watching, like, a such a short number. I thought she looked good. I thought she performed well. I thought the lyrics were great. RuPaul did keep saying singing live, and what she meant was lip syncing to their actual vocal, their recorded vocal. I kept being like, they're not lying singing live, but whatever. Sure pop off. Chan. We didn't talk about RuPaul's performance.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah, well, let's do this and Go back because we're in the middle of this one.

[Monet X Change]

I thought this was a great performance. I thought she looked really good and I thought it was funny. I like this performance a lot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But do you think this still told you about Jules?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, a little bit. I don't think it encapsulated her, but I think that there were some goofy and silly moments. She was very, especially doing her comedic stuff. So yeah, I mean, I liked it, but I don't know, what's the point for your number, to sum you up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

As a whole, I mean, that's what they have been, right? Naomi Smalls legs, Kim Chi Fat feminization. Bob, I like, I don't want to show off like it tells you about that person joining the shir and who they are as an entertainer.

[Monet X Change]

I liked it. I don't know what I'm gonna tell you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Willow Pill. I hate people. Sasha Colby. I'm a G O D E E S S I'm a motherfucking guy.

[Monet X Change]

I liked the number. I liked it. You wanna fight me? I liked it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you wanna fight Sam, so now I wanna fight you.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, to be fair. Also, Plane Jane did bodysuit, but Plane.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jane herself, she has described herself as always wearing bodysuits. Right. I didn't get that from her, but she, she said that she's a bodysuit girl.

[Monet X Change]

What was Mistresses?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I remember Mistresses was also.

[Monet X Change]

Loser booger bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was called delusion. Yeah, because she, because she made it, she popularized drag delusion her season. Like that was her thing.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I thought it was a loser booger bitch. But yeah, I, I just like this number. I thought it was good and I enjoyed it and I don't want to fight Sam. What I'm saying is she does not. All I'm saying is she looks like she's from Texas. That's all I'm saying. Anyway, and she does in the comments agree. Um, you know, I'm not gonna argue.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I, I see Texas. When you I, I, I, I, I would agree. I would see Texas.

[Monet X Change]

Then what the fuck were you doing with all that extra shit?

Let's go back to RuPaul. I love this dress RuPaul's wearing. RuPaul said, I'm not getting no gown for you hoes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, RuPaul said. I mean, RuPaul said he is out of. Yeah. In the finale, RuPaul used to always wear his little gowns, but, I mean, but also performing a gown is crazy. Getting up there to perform. And she was moving a lot this performance. She said, oh, give me this ruler. I am moving, baby. She moved up, she moved down. She left. She was moving.

[Monet X Change]

You did a costume change in my finale?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She did, yeah. Did she perform at yours?

[Monet X Change]

No, she frankly came out with all the winners except Bianca. No, all the winners except. No, all the winners, actually. And she was wearing this black, like, kind of meshy dress with a huge fur coat, and then she switched to this iridescent vibe tinsel thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And then bitch. And I said this made sense because she was a teacher with a ruler. And RuPaul towers over everyone. So all the dancers are, like, under RuPaul's armpit, so it really looked like a teacher teaching her little class. I thought it was cute.

[Monet X Change]

Has some fat asses. Anyway, let's go on to Lexi Lure. Lexi Love is doing her song classic, and I wish that she had kind of sold that she wasn't on skates when they were rolling her forward because it looked like she was on, like, a hoverboard or, or, or in casters or something like it. It was clear that she wasn't walking.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I like that you've upgraded from calling them hover rounds when they first came out. Bob just insists on calling them hover rounds. It was so strange. Bob just chooses weird language to call things.

[Monet X Change]

Can we talk about the fucking number at hand, nigga?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I, I. You talk about what you. I want to talk about what I want to talk about. You could do what you want.

[Monet X Change]

Let's spend the rest of the time talking about hover rounds, then. You want to play. You want to. We both want to play the game. You want to play the I talk about what I want to talk about game, because I'll play it with you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I'll play and I'll play with.

[Monet X Change]

You and, and, and, and, and, and the listeners will never hear an opinion about this show. I'll talk about these motherfucking Kleenexes, bitch. So tough, so soft.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But, yeah, I thought overall I thought the number was fine. I think that. I think one of my favorite parts, when she walked, she skated over them and she tapped their butts. But I thought, yeah, that's all. It was a fine number.

[Monet X Change]

I will say this on a total side note. I don't like. They did it on the main stage.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah, girl. Bring back the theater. Bring back the theater. Bring back the theater.

[Monet X Change]

It's giving. Like, let's just save a dollar. It's giving. They were filming season 18, and they just wanted to go ahead and not move.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you know, I mean, with the. With. I mean, Drag Race. I don't think Drag Race is short on cash. They're more successful than they've ever been. So I don't think it's that we're.

[Monet X Change]

Saving time or something.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I mean, I don't know why. I mean, I miss the theaters. It just feels more grand, and it feels, like, so fun. Bring back, like, season seven or season. Whatever season where Bianca hosted. Yeah, like, bring back that. Like, I miss.

[Monet X Change]

Bianca hosted what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bianca hosted the finale. Like, sorry. She did the. She did, like, the crowd. Audience warmup.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, the pre show. I've done that too. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she did, like, some standup, and then Latrice came on and gave us weight once. She did that.

[Monet X Change]

Duck it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like it.

[Monet X Change]

Duck it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like it.

[Monet X Change]

Duck it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like it. Like, bring back, like, y'all. Like, there are so many of us now. Like, bring those back.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree with you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What'd you think of her performance? Do you have anything?

[Monet X Change]

It was fine. I think it was more exciting than the first time she skated, to be honest. And I think it's because there were not these people in her way. Like, she had to skate around people, but before she could just go off, go ham. There was no one in her way. Now she's, like, skating around people. It seemed like she was actually more reserved this time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I mean, yeah. Let's see. Is tall. She almost knock one of these out.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go into. On your nerve. Doing it do take nerves. Kind of this giant, great big bubble coat, and then it goes down to this, like, stirrup leotard outfit with shoulder pads. I mean, this outfit is fine. If I saw it, I wouldn't think. I wouldn't think much of it. She's not wearing titties. Yeah. I don't like that. Is she not wearing titties?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think so. Don't look like it.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah. If she's not, I don't love that. But. But I. The. The coat. I like the coat. The coat was cute. And I would say her voice sounded amazing. She. This bitch is a singer. What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, God. You congested or something. You just sound like Alyssa. Because this bitch is a singer.

[Monet X Change]

I said singer. A figure. I'm not saying saying. I'm saying this bitch is a singer.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jay Lupit. You heard it. Loop it. Yeah, I think she's not that great. Let's just get in the thing. My one thing, y'all. This might be. What's the word? A hot take. I think Anya Nerve should have come out there and did something similar to what she did in that. In that speakeasy challenge. Cause everyone is doing the rakarakaka kaka. If Anya Nerve. Cause she's such a great live singer. Singer. And she can embody that type of song. If Ana Nerve would've come out there and did something more. Like what? The videos we've seen on TikTok and Twitter, her performing with, like, the dancers, that could have been. I think that would have blown everyone out of the water. That would have been so cool and different. I agree.

[Monet X Change]

That would have actually been really, really cool. But she wasn't doing like that. She was. She was. She was the least da, da, da of everyone, I would say. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But the nature of the song was rakakaka.

[Monet X Change]

I gotta tell you, I'm not into. It's been. This is not new for me, but I really don't like this, like, long, straight, human hair moment. Like, in general, especially, because, like. Because when you wear it with, like a. With granted, this is not a gown, but it just looks like you didn't do your hair. Whenever someone wear their hair down, it just looks like you didn't do your hair. It looks like you just naturally have long hair and then you just wore your hair down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't agree with that. I don't see that.

[Monet X Change]

Well, obviously you like to wear long human hair wigs that are just down. Obviously people are doing them. But when I see long human hair versus an updo or some braids or some sort of a structured thing, it just looks like your hair's not done.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay.

[Monet X Change]

It just looks like your hair is not done.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're such a strange one.

[Monet X Change]

Let's move on to Sam Starr. That first cover up that she had, I really didn't like it. It was so upsetting. And it revealed to a hideous dress. Absolutely hideous. But I did love that red carpet train. That was really funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was cool. Overall, I loved a lot of what Sam did and I think. I think Sam is a good performer, entertainer. But I agree with Bob on the hideous dresses. And that last. When the boys hold held her up, they acting like they were holding up two tons of steel. She's probably the smallest and lightest one. What the fuck was the issue these motherfuckers held up Mistress Isabelle Brooks. They were like, Atlas holding up the Earth last time, but they can't hold up Sam Starr. Did you see that last hold they had? They were like.

[Monet X Change]

Atlas on Over Earth is crazy. Which means that was their best take, by the way. I thought that Sam's performance, though, was amazing. Sam was doing stunts and tricks. Her energy was fantastic. I really thought she was just so good. I was honestly gagged. I was like, wow, am I about to eat a camera?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, her family, her mom and her sister, they're acting like black families at a college graduation. They're like, like, yes, Sam. Yeah, they were standing up at screen. I was like, they acted like black.

[Monet X Change]

Girl up in Alabama. Girl up in Alabama.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love them. But yeah, I thought Sam was good too. Just that last hold, I was like, if y'all. If, if these boys will hold this girl up.

[Monet X Change]

So, Trent, let's go on to. To Trend Alert for the. The miscongenialities. So Corey King, in case you forgot, Tsunami, Muse, and Sapphira Crystal all have this panel behind them. Oh, Trend Alert, bitch. Trend Alert.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did Corey King have his panel? Oh, yeah, he did.

[Monet X Change]

So did Q. Wait, did Q make both these looks, Jacob?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I don't. I know Q mates.

[Monet X Change]

Specifically Tsunamis.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Tsunamis, Yeah. I don't understand why Tsunami had laughed my ass off at the back of her. Did you see that?

[Monet X Change]

That. Oh, did she?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It had just some big letters. Lm. Lmao. I don't get it, y'all.

[Monet X Change]

Some of y'all references are too obscure. Like, we don't remember this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't understand what was happening.

[Monet X Change]

I don't like her outfit, and I don't. She looks like a. She looks like the. The Wheel at. At Wheel of Fortune. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do like. I do like sapphire crystals, though. I think Sapphire's body looked great. And I love this. It looks like she looks like she's like an ocean crashing behind her. I think. I love the color, too.

[Monet X Change]

What do you think about Tsunami's alpha?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I like it. I think it's. I think it's cute. I, I, I think. I think. I think she's trying to be like, what you call it? Not a saint.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A saint that Christians believe in. They be Having them. The rays behind them. Is that. Is that what she's trying to be?

[Monet X Change]

Maybe Catholics. I believe it's supposed to be Catholics.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Catholics, Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

I. This, this. The writing on this section was really making me uncomfortable.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All right?

[Monet X Change]

It was a combination of the writing and the acting. And I. I have this thing where, like, when you are telling a joke, if you go, we're kidding, we know. Bitch. They're jokes I hate. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Like, I. That drives me crazy. I, I, I was really uncomfortable with this section worked.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who said it? I'm kidding. Sapphira.

[Monet X Change]

They both said it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, God.

[Monet X Change]

They're, like, shading each other. Get it? Miscongeniality. They're being shady.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, God. I got it. Got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

I also. So then we find out that Monet, who, the queen that Monet thinks is the ugliest drag queen in the history of the world, Crystal Envy wins Miss Congeniality.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

You said something kind of like that. You said something kind of like that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Said something similar to that.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, what you said was. You say, okay, you don't get why people think she's beautiful, okay? Let's just leave it at that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's not what I said. I said a lot of people think that she is, like, this down, stunning, blah, blah, blah. I think she's fine, but I don't think she's giving. That is what I said.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, okay. I mean, I got the essence of it. And she wins $10,000, and every other girl gets $2,000. Bitch, fuck that. Give Crystal all the money. What's up with giving the bitch in 12th place $2000? Monae got $0 and she was in second place. That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I also didn't get any. Money's Miss Congeniality, and I will say it every year when we talk about the goddamn show. I'm gonna say it again. I was the only Miss Congeniality, so I'm not getting any fucking money, girl.

[Monet X Change]

Loris Chaney won Drag Race and didn't get a fucking dollar, okay? Be lucky that you got something.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, that's her problem being on the fucking BBC. She should have came and compete in America.

[Monet X Change]

That's your problem. Winning Congeniality before they're giving out prizes, that's on you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, they gave it before me and they gave it after me. My year, they were just like, you know what? Not this year.

[Monet X Change]

That is so funny. That is hilarious. Oh, my God, that is so funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Up next, RuPaul and him bring out the legendary daughter of Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli.

[Monet X Change]

Liza on stage. And Vinci Minnelli, daughter of also Vinci Minnelli and my father.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He made people make magic on stage. And it was so cute. I mean, I don't know the Ring that Bell song, but it was just so cute. No, to see everybody just.

[Monet X Change]

Do you name realize the songs lies.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

With a Z not. Lisa with a S, Liz with an S not. I know that. I know. Life is a cabaret As I sing.

[Monet X Change]

Though I just said name. I'm gonna continue and.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That'S all I got.

[Monet X Change]

New York, New York. I think one of her most famous songs she sings.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

New York, New York also. Maybe this world goes round. Maybe this time.

[Monet X Change]

Maybe this time. Yeah. This was so cute. Is Eliza Minnelli a foot tall? My God, it looks like she is not made to scale. Like, this looks like you and Corey King.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, bitch, that looks like you and fucking Elias Poe. What's the name?

[Monet X Change]

Elliot Pope. Yes, Elliot Pope. Monet. You got him. That's his name.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Elliot Page. Nigga, no, no, no.

[Monet X Change]

You nailed it. Elliot Pope.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob. I mean, Jay. Pull up the picture of Bob's ass sitting next to Elliot Page looking like who Ate Gilbert Grave?

[Monet X Change]

And don't do the editing. One where they made him small.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, that's a real one. Y'all don't know this. Bob took a picture and he made Elliot bigger to make himself look more to scale.

[Monet X Change]

This was such a cute segment. It was. That is crazy. They've made them. This looks like Harry Potter and Hagrid. I'm the one. There's one they made where I am gigantic. It is so stupid.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, that's a great image. So good.

[Monet X Change]

Now, this was a really beautiful segment. I loved it so much. Liza is such an icon. I can't wait to watch her documentary. Is it out yet? I don't think it is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think so. But I also love this giving us lifetime achievement achievement segment. I love it. We've had so far, we've had John Waters, we had Elvira, and now Liza. Who do you think. Who do you think is.

[Monet X Change]

It was Bob Mackey, not John.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, Bob Mackey. Liza and Beth Midler's next.

[Monet X Change]

I'm calling it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ooh. I'm gonna say if I took my money on someone, I'm gonna say, I think that'd be someone tram.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, that's gonna be diana Ross.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ooh. RuPaul would die. You know, she. She. She's his favorite celebrity. I think it's gonna be someone we have to give it to a trans sister or brother. Come on now.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, I'm open. Yeah, but I think you have to be. Well, who are these really old trans women?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So many. Jane. Jane County. Yeah. Yeah, that'll be fine.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on. Let's go on to our. Our. Our. Our Wuzzy. Our. The most recent inductee to the Wuzzy hall of Fame. I gotta say it. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. What? This might be the best step down look of all time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, it's pretty fucking immaculate. This.

[Monet X Change]

This might be the best step down look. I don't know if she literally made that yesterday. If she did, that's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, she'd make it. I don't think. I think she's literally. She was there for like. I mean, I went to her hotel room for a little bit while I saw the visually plain looking white woman, Madeline, working on it. Ty was working on it. A lot of people working on this look to help her finish it. It is incredible. This bitch is fucking. This is sick.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. This might be the best stubborn look in the history of the show. I got. I had to look really hard at some of the others again, but my God, this is just insanely stunning. Insanely stunning.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Coins on this. She's wearing these 3D printed shoes that cost so much money that you don't even see how much money. I don't. I'm. I don't know if she wants to start business out there. But the shoes are. Isn't that crazy?

[Monet X Change]

That is crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's crazy that you don't even see.

[Monet X Change]

What's your most expensive pair of shoes?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Um, probably the ones from Disco Daddy up there. Your son all to. I mean, he. I paid for the outfit and the shoes together, so I don't know exactly the question. I don't know. Like. Like in my. In my. Most of his drag shoes or like just shoes in general?

[Monet X Change]

Answer the question. Just tell me. Except the answer you give me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, my most amazing drag shoes are probably those. And I want to. I want to say they cost maybe somewhere like maybe. Maybe $1,000. I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

My most expensive shoe. Did you have some stone Balenciaga Crocs?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah, I do have those. The crocs were like $500. And the stoning was. It was another also. Maybe. Yeah. So those are probably more. I don't. I don't know, to be honest.

[Monet X Change]

I'm gonna show you my most expensive.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Shoe, like in drag or just ever, ever. I can't with the clomping. Look at that horse. Look at that horse. Look at that horse. Let me see how much of those shoes.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, this shoe costs $5,000. Allegedly. I might have got scammed, but allegedly, these are the shoes that RuPaul wore in the supermodel music video.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How. How do you know that's true?

[Monet X Change]

I just said I might have gotten scammed. I do not know. I'm choosing to believe it's true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You should ask Ru, bitch.

[Monet X Change]

I can't get with enough. I can't even breathe the same air that bitch breathes. Okay, but if it is, ugh. Ugh. How cool would that be? And they're Both signed by RuPaul, so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The final swung was abracadabra.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Monet says she don't care much. She's swinging around a thousand five hundred dollars on her hand like it ain't nothing. Just swinging up by the hill. $500 in y'all faces.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You paid $5,000 for a shoe that you don't even know if it's real.

[Monet X Change]

And I held it like it was precious. And I'm believing it's real. It's real to me, bitch. It's real to me, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Some raggedy bitch was walking around in bear and piss in a bar and just sold you a pair of shoes like you just believed it.

[Monet X Change]

But I'm handling it with that's. When I suggest take $5,000.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'll be like, ah, whatever.

[Monet X Change]

I don't care. No, I'm not spinning around. No, you're like, woo. Woo.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyway, the song. I think this is a great final lip sync song. The final lip sync song have been.

[Monet X Change]

No, let's talk about this fucking. This fucking. This main stage bullshit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I mean, we've had it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, we've had it back in the theater.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're not gonna change it, though, girl. They're not gonna change it. Why? We're still gonna watch it. So why would they change it?

[Monet X Change]

Why they listen to me. I got them to do an all winter season. Someone at World of Wonder is listening to me. I don't know if they listening to you, but they listening to me, ok? And whoever it is over on the Patreon. You heard what I said. We don't want. We don't want to see y'all doing a finale where y'all did the fucking. Where y'all made nine girls lipstick at once.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They did that. Oh, no. What?

[Monet X Change]

No, but I'm saying on the main stage.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of crazy and I wonder if it's. I wonder if it's. I mean, it's clearly a bigger stage. I don't know how much bigger this stage is or if they just filled in the holes. Whatever it is. I mean, it is what it is. They did this last year too, right?

[Monet X Change]

No, last year they were in Vegas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was in Vegas last year.

[Monet X Change]

I think so. Was that the year before?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it was the year before. Last year was in the theaters as well? No, I mean on the soundstage.

[Monet X Change]

Last year at the main stage.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Interesting. I don't like it anyway. Yeah. So we find out that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, they also come out first.

[Monet X Change]

Lexi looks like a Dementor Sam star. It clearly has addresses. That's going to unravel. It's obviously going to unravel. I have a sneaking suspicion that it goes from black to rainbow. That's my suspicion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

And when they announced that first, they announced on your nerve, which everyone knew, and then announced Jewel Sparkles, which everyone. Low key kind of gag. And when I told y'all that Jewel Sparkles was in second place, y'all act like I was crazy. When I said that Jewel Sparkles was in second, I called on your nerve first. Then Jules Sparkles. Y'all act like I was. Like I was smoking crack. Now who's smoking crack, bitch?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You were right.

[Monet X Change]

And I mean, I love when Lexi does her reveal anyway.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well. Cause they gave her $10,000. I will say that. I think. I think that we didn't talk about this on the other thing, but. But one thing that I really loved about Anya is that when she was doing her talking time with RuPaul, everyone else felt like they stood in their spot and they just talked to RuPaul like they were being interviewed. Anya took up space with Ruana on the main stage. She was cracking jokes. She started walking off her spot, pointing people to the audience, cracking jokes. It felt like she was. She felt like a winner to me in that moment.

[Monet X Change]

I just realized. I think someone at World of Warning thinks it's funny to make you not have money. I think that's someone's gag because, like, girl. They gave the girl, like, fifth place, $50,000 and gave you nothing. They gave the girl. They gave the. The second place. The third place. No, they gave third and fourth place. They 20k, 10k each or 20k each. It's. It's you. It's you specifically.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what did I do? And you know what it is? It's probably me linked to you. You probably said it did some.

[Monet X Change]

I Got my money, honey. Okay. Actually, people don't know this. I get $100,000 every year from Drag Race.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, really? Why was that?

[Monet X Change]

Because I was on Logo.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh. So reparation. Every year.

[Monet X Change]

Every year, RuPaul comes to my house and hands me a $100,000 tick by hand. It's a big one, too. It's like the big one they bring on every time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Interesting.

[Monet X Change]

I have all of them. I still have. You ain't gonna grab one. It's in another room.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, well, tomorrow, next podcast, you gonna bring it out.

[Monet X Change]

Next podcast. Okay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, cool.

[Monet X Change]

You know, I left my first big check at the theater.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Your first? What do you mean?

[Monet X Change]

They gave me a big check I left at the theater.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They gave you, like, a Publisher's Clearinghouse check when you won Drag Race?

[Monet X Change]

Yep.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And why? Where is it?

[Monet X Change]

It didn't fit in the cab.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So why would you leave it at the theater?

[Monet X Change]

How was it gonna get it home?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Mon call a Uber XL. You, you, you, you, bro, you just won $100,000 you broke.

[Monet X Change]

There were no Uber XLs back then.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

In two. Yes, there were. Uber.

[Monet X Change]

Not UberXLs. I don't think Uber XLs existed in 2016. I don't think they did. I took a yellow Cab home, and.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They'Ve made yellow Cab like Toyota Highlanders.

[Monet X Change]

When there was not. It could not fit, bitch. I couldn't get the check in the car. I left it. Where's yours?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They didn't give. Bitch. I got a check in the mail the next day. I didn't get a pay for a big check.

[Monet X Change]

Uber XL introduced September 2014.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, so it did exist.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I didn't. I didn't have Uber. I was taking yellow caps, though. And maybe. Maybe. Did you, you know, you get a chunk of that Casey Mother Graves dress or something? That was so weird. They printed y'all out there, Casey. That was so weird.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know. It's a weird.

[Monet X Change]

And also, spoiler alert.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, Casey said on the mic.

[Monet X Change]

I know, bitch. Spoiler alert. Like, bitch. Someone was like, I was gonna go home and watch Drag Race. I bet someone was like. I bet somebody was like, bitch, I was about to go home and watch Drag Race.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Casey said. She's like, I don't know if this is ruining for everyone, but we have the two winners of RuPaul's Drag Race All Star Season 4, Trinity the Tuck in 1A Exchange.

[Monet X Change]

If you don't know, after Monet and Trinity won Drag Race, they, like, marched them across the street and threw them on stage at Casey Musgrain's concert. Did y'all sing or something? Y'all dance?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What y'all doing there was a bitch. We won. We saw the thing. We had to go back to our hotel, chill for like three hours, then went into the downtown LA from we home.

[Monet X Change]

Did you, like, dance or party or. You just walked out and what'd you do?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We walked out. We finished that song. Have you seen it all? Seen it all? High Horse. We did that and then we left and we took some pictures of her backstage.

[Monet X Change]

So interesting. Anyway, so the ch. The song chose is Abracadabra. I love this. This song, y'all. Abracadabra gets my pussy popping. It is such a good song. It is so great. I'm obsessed with Onion Nerve doing the Harlem shake.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, let's be honest. That wasn't the Harlem shake. That was a fucking Upper west side shake.

[Monet X Change]

She said Abracadabra.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I was like, girl, Cleveland, sit your Cleveland ass down. Girl, you gotta be from New York to do that shit right.

[Monet X Change]

Let's see you Harlem. Shay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You remember this one? Remember this?

[Monet X Change]

They'd be like, oh, when they go.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, I used to love that shake.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, you remember, the Harlem shake trend was not the Harlem Shake.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What do you mean?

[Monet X Change]

I drew the Harlem. It was a trend where everyone just starts gyrating like you freeze. And then everyone, like, goes crazy. It was called the Harlem Shake. It was, like a weird trend, but it wasn't the Harlem Shake. It was a song called Harlem Shake. Anyway, what Jules Sparkles is doing, it don't make no fucking sense for this song.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I don't know why she had the umbrella with the things on it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, like, girl, it's not eating. I would have picked up Jules umbrella and hit that and hit that avocado. If she would have turned around and picked up your umbrella and hit that abracadabra koreography, I would have lost my shit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I mean, I. If I'm being very honest, I don't think any of them nailed this lip sync. This was not the best lip sync of the season. It was. It was. I think they were pretty even in terms of. Because Aniya didn't do that much and Jules did a little too much. It was pretty even to me. But I think over the. Over the season, Aniya was the clear winner, if I'm being very honest.

[Monet X Change]

I agree. But I think also Jules's reveals didn't make sense. They weren't timed well. Why the umbrella thing? Jules had several fumbles for me in this lip sync, whereas I think Anya didn't have any.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think Anya did have. I think Anya looks. She would just like. She would walk around and say a little, like, weird looking. I didn't. I didn't love what I didn't love. I think I've come to realize Anya is such a great live performer and she's such a great theater performer, theatrical performer. She's not a great lip synchronous. There's not one lip sync Anya has done on the show. I was like, oh, bitch, you ate that.

[Monet X Change]

Who was she in the bottom with? Who?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She was in the bottom with her and Jules when with. With the makeover. That wasn't great either.

[Monet X Change]

Oh. And they both stayed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And they both got a double stay.

[Monet X Change]

Double Shantay. But RuPaul has crowned on your nerve the winner of season D race. And I agree. I agree with this. I think Anya Nerve deserves a win. I am excited to see her reign and Anya Nerve, you are always welcome to come over to Sibling Rivalry and have a conversation with us. You can go on to my YouTube page and hang out with me. Maybe Monet will have you on Monet Talks.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would love to have on Monet Talks. Are you joking? I'm so. I'm so happy Anya. Anya did such a great job this season. I'm very happy she won.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, ditto, kiddo. All right, thanks, everybody.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All right, bye.
