- Hello, hello, hello, welcome to The Pit Stop.
I am your host, Manila Luzon, filling in for Trixie Mattel.
I am joined here with Alaska Thunder(bleep),
the legendary winner of RuPaul's Drag Race
All Stars season 2.
- Hello. - Hi.
All right girl, let's just get right into this.
This has made RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars herstory.
We have a mother(bleep)in' tie!
This crown is so big that we need
two bitches' heads to fit into it.
- Oh my gosh, how do we do
the picture frames in the hallway?
I'm very like, the interior decorator
of the Hall of Fame.
So like, is it two picture frames,
do they do like a side-by-side picture?
- Maybe it'll be like one of '80s portraits where like,
the floating head of Monet is looming over Trinity's
with the crown on. - I'm here for that.
I love it, it's great, I'm so excited I could spit.
- Like hock a loogie.
Not on the set! - Not on the carpet.
Not on the shag, please.
- So what are your thoughts on the tie?
- Well, this has been something that we've thought of.
We've all imagined what if that happened.
It's very like, Too Wong Foo,
like RuPaul giving away the crown
and saying at the last minute, oh, by the way, it's a tie.
So like, way to go Mother Ru,
keeping us on our toes with yet another twist.
- I think it's great because there's so many
amazing queens competing on All Stars
and we fall in love with them
and it's really hard to choose.
And especially for RuPaul,
we're like all her little babies
and it's like, how do you pick?
Why not pick two?
- Right. - Yeah.
So what did Monet and Trinity bring to the season
that has elevated them as All Stars?
- Oh, geez, I mean they've both grown
so much since when they were on before.
Monet coming straight out of her season,
which is not an easy feat.
- Not at all.
- She was Miss Congeniality on her original season,
and she said, I'm not being congenial
this time, honey. - No way.
- And Trinity, I think we got a taste of her before,
but she came in guns blazing.
- I think that she brings the old school
and then brings the new school,
and then melds it so perfectly together.
And she's got a rockin' body.
- That doesn't hurt, it doesn't.
- [Manila] Okay, so let's recap this grande
- finale.
- [Alaska] Yes.
- So last week we saw Trinity eliminate Latrice Royal,
sending her home for the second, fourth, fifteenth time.
Did it surprise you that Trinity sent home Latrice?
- It becomes the game of impossible choices
at a certain point.
I agree with what Trinity was saying when she's like
"Latrice sort of came and went in the competition"
and so you can't judge quite as fairly because
someone was gone for a couple of weeks.
- Okay, but let's talk about that little moment that
Monique had with Monet when she was teasing
about the lipstick, Oooh!
I'm sorry I just don't want to hurt her feelings.
- That's so rude.
- They're friends, so it's fun to watch the friends
like play with each other,
you know what I mean? - [Alaska] Yeah.
- So that leaves Trinity the Tuck, Naomi Smalls,
Monique Heart, and Monet X Change for the final four.
The top four!
- I like final four, but they're not tops.
- They could be verse or bottoms, who knows?
Or maybe they're celibate?
Sell a bit of my drag here, sell a bit of my drag there?
- [Manila] Now is this the top four that you envisioned?
- No.
Um, no.
- Same, same, same.
- That's All Stars.
All Stars rules are you do not know what to expect.
Expect the unexpectable.
- Let's move on to this week's maxi challenge.
This is a lot, girl.
Everyone knows it's coming because we've been listening
to the Super Queen song on the runway on repeat.
So we know that these girls need
to come up with some lyrics.
- [Alaska] Yes.
- [Manila] They need to do a dance
and then they have to do a podcast.
- That's a lot to heap on the plate, especially when you've
been there that whole time.
- Yeah, you can't (bleep) this up,
like this is your last time to shine.
And then you have to dance on top of it
with Todrick Hall choreography,
which I can't imagine is easy at all.
- No, it's not.
- Well, girl he had them doing cartwheels.
- Uh huh.
- Cartwheels!
Knowing full well that Monique Heart can't do a cartwheel.
- [Alaska] No, but it's so fun to watch her try.
- Now let's talk about the podcast.
What do you think that Ru Paul and Michelle are looking for?
- I think all they're ever looking for
is just a real personal connection.
They don't want someone who's coming in there with
"I've written a statement and
"this is where I come from and what I believe. "
I think Monique completely excelled
because she's very, like, personable.
- But she was also a little guarded, I think,
on this season, so it was really nice to see
Monique really kind of open up.
- Brown cow stunning.
- Alright, let's get to their final performances.
She's a super queen, queen, queen.
- She is. I love the superhero feeling and theme of it.
The set was so much fun
and we got to watch everybody do their thing.
And when I tell you everyone was turnt.
Like, it was really really great.
- Whose performance did you like?
- Definitely Monet.
I thought her look was really cool.
She was like "I'm being the bald one."
Not every girl can pull off gorgeous bald-ocity.
It was like goddess, superhero woman.
- Her performance was fantastic.
What a voice of the show.
- Yeah, the other standout for me was Trinity as well.
- Oh my god, she was giving me full show girl.
- The flowing capes and it was iridescent,
it was fun to be there.
Also, Naomi's look was really, really cool.
What a beautiful final catsuit, like really stunning.
- She was definitely straight out of a comic book.
And then she's being thrown in the air,
like flying with all the boys lifting her up.
Who doesn't want to pick up a drag queen?
Right, Mimi Imfurst?
I really liked Monique's performance.
I really loved it.
The black sparkle and the way she was throwing
that cape around, it was really part of the choreography.
I think that she did a really good job on that.
I don't know how she does it,
but I love the way that she flips her wigs around.
And it stayed on.
- It did stay on, that glued tomato soup color hair.
- It is time for the final runway of All stars Four!
Oh my gosh, this is what all us drag queens,
the first outfit we think of is what we're going to wear
if and when we win.
- This is the last stop, honey.
- What did you think of some of their looks?
Let's start with Monet.
- Monet was giving like Africa, like elegance-iation.
Really, really elegant, really beautiful.
I love to see her work a gown.
- I love the way that the dreaded updo was like a big knot.
It was so intricate watching, it was like rope, almost.
It was really cool.
What about Monique's look?
- Wearing all black is kind of risky.
- Because it doesn't pop as much.
- Right, and so you can kind of lose some of the details.
- I kind of agree with Michelle
that it could've been nipped at the waist.
I know Michelle's really into having the hourglass shape.
With Monique it was really pretty.
- Do I have a waist?
- You have.
- You have to like sit a certain way.
- No, girl, I'm corseted, sit back down
so I don't feel so bad.
What about Naomi, oh my god?
- This is what Naomi Smalls does.
She burns a runway to the ground
and she makes it look effortless.
The clothes are exquisite,
but her delivery of it is really smooth.
- It's not just the clothes.
It was the clothes and then the styling on top of it.
Because she had that weird hood,
but it really kind of made it more avant garde.
It was giving you fashion and then it came off.
It was just all sparkly,
so it's still hitting that drag moment that I need.
- [Alaska] I would like to see her landing some campaigns
because I think she's got it.
- And what about Trinity's look?
Come on.
What's the tea, Trinity?
- [Alaska] This look is very you actually,
because it's like taking a household item,
like I'm gonna take a broom,
but then make it like
conceptual and couture. - [Manila] A gown.
- [Manila] I love it.
You know on Season Nine, girl, love a reveal!
- Piping hot tea us.
- Piping hot tea, oh my god.
It was stunning, she looked amazing.
So now the judges' critiques.
Ru Paul asked the girls the infamous question:
"Why should I chose you to be the winner?"
- This is always a hard moment because you want it to be
personable and they don't want a prepared statement.
They don't want a pageant answer, either.
They just want a connection and really why?
Why is it you?
I thought Trinity really knocked it out of the park, though.
It was very honest and very humble
and very this isn't about me, this is about this.
- This competition. - Yeah.
- Well, the judges made their decision.
Their two finalists, Trinity and Monet.
Were you expecting this?
- Based on this challenge, I was not surprised.
I thought that they were the stand outs
and I think they also weigh in
performance throughout the whole experience.
And, so, those things added up.
That's who I see as an amazing final two.
- So, the top two
Trinity and Monet
have to lip sync for the Legacy.
- Correct.
- Let's start with Trinity.
What do you think of her performance
Fighter by Christina Aguilera?
- This song is such a Trinity song to me.
It feels like something she would
perform out in the real world anyway.
- She had the little skirt reveal
so we can make sure we all see her
tuck one last time.
- [Alaska] She loves a little skirt move though.
- [Manila] She loves to show off that tuck, honey.
- She does.
- I mean, if I was snatched that hard
I would wanna show it off too.
I'm not so,
that's why I have my legs crossed.
- Exactly.
- What did you think about Monet's lip sync?
- Monet's lip sync was also really strong
and then once we got toward the end,
she started bringing in comedic elements.
Sort of the craziness in some of the runs
that Christina's doing.
Also, the wig reveal that reveals the same wig.
- The exact same wig.
That was pretty funny.
- Really satisfying and unexpected
which is what you want if you're doing a reveal.
I mean, I think it works
if it's playing against expectation.
- Yeah, and Monet is really good at
really delivering the facial expressions
with her lip sync.
She's got those big juicy lips and
they're just quivering with every syllable.
I live, I live.
So we had a fantastic lip sync to end
a fantastic season and we have our winners.
So, what were your thoughts on the season?
- I mean, this is a season that we really got it all.
We had twists and turns.
We had drama.
We had excitement.
We had danger.
Just really, over all, really exciting
to watch and amazing job.
- Well, congratulations to our winners!
Trinity and Monet.
Oh my god, thank you Alaska for
joining me here on The Pit Stop.
- It's a pleasure to be here.
- The pleasure is all yours.
- Truly. Thank you.
- And make sure to tune in to VH1
on February 28th for season 11 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Bye!
- Bye!
- Bye!
