"I serve the community, and more than just doing stand-up comedy, and actually getting my hands and feet into the dirt of the community and helping it grow, because the community has helped me grow, and it's made me who I am today." " Thank you." "All right, Chi Chi DeVayne." " I should be America's next drag superstar because I feel like I possess the talent, the willingness to grow, the willingness to take your critiques and apply 'em." "I can be funny just as well."

"I can work a music video, and I've just blossomed, and I feel like-- that I should be" "America's next drag superstar, because I've shown the most growth out of--out of all of these girls." " Thank you." "All right, next." "Kim Chi." " Throughout this whole competition," "I have shown consistent and creative and detailed looks." "I have been professional and courteous throughout this whole experience." "I have been willing to adapt to myself in any situation I am in." "None of the girls will ever come up with the stuff that I do." "I don't want to be America's next drag superstar." "I am America's next drag superstar." " Thank you." " Thank you." " All right, Naomi Smalls." " I love drag so much." "It is what, like, gets me up in the morning, and I have such a need and a want to grow, and I don't like to pigeonhole myself into just being either a stand-up comedian or a dancing queen or a look queen." "I want to be able to do anything and show everybody that I can be successful just being me and loving who I am, and that is everything I want in the world." " Thank you." " Thank you." " Well, my queens," "I think we've heard enough." "While you untuck backstage, the judges and I will deliberate." "Now, just between us squirrel friends, what do you think?" "Now, y'all were doing a lot of praising up there, and these kids have come a long way." "I understand that, but I need y'all to get real for the realness." "You know what I'm saying?" " I can get real." " I'll break it down." " You know?" "'Cause, hey, this is still a competition, and somebody has to go home tonight." "BobTheDragQueen." " Spandex leggings-- not so much for best drag." "I would have loved to have seen a gown." " The makeup has always been not great." " Right." " There was some growth with the looks, but, you know, if I'm buying a ticket to Bob's show, it's not to see glamour." "It's to be entertained." " She's been consistently smart with her humor." "The Snatch Game was stellar." " Oh." " I also liked the shady politics ad." "I thought that was really funny." " I think my number one Bob moment was "chocolate chip cookie."" "Shut it down in the acting." " Really every challenge, Bob rose to the occasion and was able to inject Bob The Drag Queen into that challenge." "ChiChiDeVayne." " Look at how far she's come." " She had to lip-sync for her life twice, and she not only saved herself, she, like, killed it." "Like, we had a "come to Jesus" meeting during "I'm Telling You I'm Not Going."" " The Bitch Perfect challenge." "That was a high point." "She was upside down, lip-syncing." " Uh-huh." " Twerking." " Yes." " I mean, come on." "Also,theBookBall wasa shining, glorious moment for Chi Chi DeVayne." "Asgreatasshelooked, looking at the four queens on that stage today," "I didn't know if she's as original as the other ones, you know?" "Chi Chi I've seen done before." " Mm-hmm." " But I'm in love with Chi Chi." " Right." " As a judge, I don't know what to do with that." " She is one of the kids who come from the sort of backwoods of drag." "She doesn't have to do the outfits that people in big cities come to expect, but in this competition, judges wanted to see more, and she delivered more." "KimChi." " She can definitely serve a look better than nobody's business." "I loved the Wonderful" "WizardofOz challenge." "Yeah." "Andwhatshe did withthe stripes,withthelittlewoman," "I thought it was really, really smart." " When she did the Book Ball andcreatedthepaperwig outofpinkpiecesofpaper , it's phenomenal." " My favorite moment with Kim Chi was the first time I saw her, and I thought, "What in the hell am I looking at?"" " The interesting thing for me was watching the struggle of not loving who she is in her skin." " I kind of went through a very similar thing when I did "Queer Eye."" "It was like that thing that I was hiding." "It was like, "Oh, my God, you're the queer guy?"" "Then it was, like, celebrated, and you're like, "Wait a minute."" "I think that's gonna happen with her owning it and saying, "Wait, I'm being celebrated for who I am, lisp and awkwardness,"" "and she will get there, but does she have the ability to command a stage and work a crowd?" "I don't know." " She has the capability to change drag a little." " Mm-hmm." " You know what I mean?" " Yes." " To really sort of shift it in a very new, 2000-something..." " Yes." " Sort of way, and I'm curious to see where it goes." "Allright,let 'smoveon toNaomiSmalls." " She has upped her game, and she has brought it to us on a different level." " The Wizard of Oz moment wassuchagamechanger." "Yes." "MyGod." "That was really the turning point for her." "I mean, haute couture." " Yeah." " High-end fashion." " Now, in the video, I really loved her avant-garde look." " Mm-hmm." "I lovethatshe knows herbrand." " I think the turning point for me was in the black-and-white movie runway look, andshedidthatbeautiful graymakeup." " And then out she comes in the Book Ball inthatpaperdress, whichwasstraightoff  ofa runwaysomewhere." "Her POV became OMG." " [laughing]" " For me." "LOL." " She's one that in a year or two will be killing it, but I think she's just not there yet." " I don't believe that at all." " Really?" " We can all get better." " But compared to the other girls at this point in time," "I don't think she's there yet." " I do." "Her drag is really good and polished." " And she's fashion." "She's posing, which gives me the chills every time she does that thing that I wish I could do, but my belly gets in the way." "I--guess what I'm about to say?" "I agree with Michelle." " [exclaims]" " What?" " I know, I know." "I know, but I-- I think what she did this season is worthy of being in the top three and maybe even taking the crown." " Well, I've just got to say for the room, you know, you guys have been no help whatsoever." "[all laughing]" "Silence!" "I've made my decision." "Bring back my girlssssssss...
