"RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9" Cast Take a Friendship Test (2024)

I remember writing to you on Instagram

while your season was airing,

and then I was like, Let's hang out.

Then we hung out.

Those were horny DMs.

Oh. Yes, they were.

Were they? Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh, the juice!

I'm trying to keep the story short for them, okay?

[gentle upbeat music]

I wrote, we met up to watch one of the episodes together.

Watch.

Was it really just watching?

Or were you Netflix and chilling?

Yeah, it was like a Netflix and chill.

[Shannel laughing]

Drag Race, and chill.

Was it? I live.

I live, that's so good.

There's a little tea in it,

there's a little something in there.

Sure, there might be tea,

there might be coffee.

[everyone laughing]

I first met Jorgeous

on season 14 of, RuPaul's Drag Race.

Aw, sis, memories!

Oh, take me back! I couldn't say it,

you went first.

Okay. Nah. [laughs]

No, but like I just remember

like immediately gravitating towards you.

Like getting ready,

remember I was screaming at you?

Yeah no, all the damn time.

'Cause she was taking so long.

Because on the first episode,

I was like running late,

I was rushing,

and then I was like too worried about my makeup.

She goes like, Girl, [beep] that makeup,

you gotta get ready.

I'm like-

And she was still done

and she was still painted. Thank you.

'Cause the bitch is always painted

and always stunning and so beautiful

and I'm so happy you're my sister.

Sister, you really do love me.

I love you so much. Oh my god.

No, the first time I met Roxxxy

was actually in the workroom

of, All Stars Nine.

Yeah.

And yeah, you walked in

and I was the only one in there

and I was so gagged 'cause I am a Roxxxy Andrews stan.

And I mean, you can watch the episode,

I literally was just like, Oh!

[Roxxxy laughing] Like dying.

Wondering what was in my bag. [laughs]

Yeah, yeah, I was like, Oh, she came from the airport.

When I first met Plastique,

we were like baby queens,

we were performing in Dallas, Texas.

When I met her,

she was like so [beep] sickening,

ahead of her time,

and like back in the day,

I was like hella crunchy

so she was like the one to inspire.

No, not even.

Yes ma'am, she was like a inspiration of mine,

just like making myself like look better,

getting good wigs,

getting good costumes.

So bitch, thank you so much for everything.

Sister, love, love, love, love, love you.

I love you.

I don't know the first time I met Shannel

but watching Drag Race on season one,

you know, when you watch a show,

you're like, Oh, I'm like that person.

She was my, I'm like that person.

I loved her drag,

I loved her aesthetic,

I loved how she showed her body and positivity

and just the makeup and beauty,

and her eyes were always so striking.

And then when I met her in person,

you lived up to everything.

Everything that I thought you would be, yes.

Well, I first met Nina on season 11

of, RuPaul's Drag Race,

and when she walked in,

it was like game over.

Like I think you had one of the most polished

walk-in outfit,

and I was like, Wow.

You're such a talented queen

and so respected in the community.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm proud of you, girl, please.

[Plastique laughing]

I think the first time I actually was around you

for more than like a minute or two,

other than seeing you at a show,

was actually when I was hired to do makeup

for the promo shoot for your season.

[gasps] Right!

And you came up to me,

you and Brooke Lynn came up to me,

and you're like, Does my makeup look okay?

Do I need anything? Uh-huh, uh-huh.

I was enamored by you, just completely.

Coming from Shannel,

it means so much to me,

I love that.

No, I just, I live for you.

I met Angie in Los Angeles at, Hairspray,

at the after party.

I'll never forget that night meeting you.

Angie stayed and said hello to the entire cast.

I mean, she stayed and talked to every single person.

Everyone that night after that night

talked about how wonderful you were.

You know, when I found out

we were gonna be on the season together,

it was really exciting. I know, it was crazy.

[gentle upbeat music continues]

It's just so many things I could say about this person.

I know, that was like a whole paragraph.

For me to write three words.

[everyone laughing]

So, for Nini,

I wrote, Best actress ever.

To see you that night in, Hairspray,

was like, I mean, it was incredible.

Like everybody was standing to their feet

when you came out there

so you have a talent that's like out of this world.

I have that you are protective.

Anytime I have like an issue

or I'm like getting into some trouble or something,

I can just feel you like over me

and just protecting me

and just caring for me genuinely

and I love that about you so much.

I love having you around.

Oh, I love you.

Look at y'all, fix it, homes.

Maybe y'all go rekindle some DMs.

For Jorgeous, I just wrote, Talented, fresh, authentic,

but I'm gonna go into it. Okay.

I met you when you were literally what, 17?

Mhmm, 17, mama. Oh my gosh.

And you just get better and better and better.

You're like my little sister. Yes.

And the more I get to know you,

and the more you grow over the years,

you just become more authentically yourself.

And you're already here

so I can't wait to see what else you're gonna do.

Sister, no, it definitely means a lot coming from you

because like, bitch, I look up to you so much.

Like, bitch, you are like the future of drag,

and like, bitch, you have always been there for me

ever since I was a little baby

so I just wanna say thank you for everything.

Oh my gosh.

Even when I was getting ready for season 14,

she actually helped me a lot getting ready

so I'll forever be grateful.

Why you didn't help me?

So I wrote down, Wisdom,

because Miki, she has so much wisdom not only in fashion,

in everything that she does.

And to be such a younger generation,

I just look up to you.

You have so much wisdom in many, many things

and that's what I think of when I think of you.

Oh, I love you.

Yes and I can trust you to do anything for me.

Yes, of course.

Like, How do I look?

What does it look like?

You just got it.

This is cute.

Yeah. I love it.

This was good. It's so fun.

It's a good time. Oh, I love it here.

[Everyone] I love it here.

If only, Drag Race, was like this.

I know, right?

Miss Angie is funny as [beep],

and when I mean that,

it's like bitch, you can literally talk to anybody.

Bitch, you come up with [beep] off top of your head.

I'm like, How in the hell does she do that so quick?

I'm like so gaggled, girl.

You're just like amazing.

And then when I was on season 14,

you're like one of the closest people

that I met on the show.

And I'm so happy that we get to do this season together

'cause we are the best of season 14.

[everyone laughing]

We do so much together.

[laughs] Like twice now, girl.

We did, Drag Race, twice,

we've toured twice together,

like I can't get rid of the bitch.

[everyone laughing]

Oh, me and you lived in the same apartment building too.

And we lived in the same apartment building.

Okay, that's weird. [everyone laughing]

So Roxxxy, aside from obviously, your beauty

and your glamour,

and that you are truly stamped in the world of drag,

I think this is the most important,

and I said, 100% authentic.

[Everyone] Aw.

She is 100% always an authentic person.

Whether you like it or not,

you are going to tell it exactly as it is.

I love that. Thank you.

You said, No apologies, bitch.

I am who I am. No, no, no, no.

And I live for that.

You are so sickening to me.

Thank you. Oh my god.

I love Plastique.

I wrote that you are a force

and you are the future

and the standard and the epitome of drag.

So like, not only do you represent what drag is now,

I think what everyone needs is catching up to you.

You are leading

and it's an honor to be watching you.

And I'm so inspired by you.

And I just think you're so amazing.

Oh, Nina! I love you.

You're so great! Oh my gosh!

Like literally, like this is it!

We're gonna make everyone cry.

So Shannel, I wrote, Overall perfect drag queen.

In my mind, you do everything to the T.

To me, you're like a staple of what drag is.

Oh. And I look up to you.

I admire you. Thank you.

I mean, trailblazing from season one,

doing your thing,

Vegas, still holding it down.

You're like, yeah, quintessential drag queen.

Thank you. In all the ways,

in all the forms, yeah.

I appreciate that.

That means a lot to me.

Without people like you,

I would not be doing-

We the old bitches here, honey.

I mean, yeah. Okay.

And I'm honored that we got to share a season

with both of you.

I love that.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I love that. I love you.

I know, I love you too.

I love you guys.

I love you too.

Oh, that god we have a break after this.

[everyone laughing]

Wow, all right, Glamour,

get us together in our feels.

Right! [everyone laughing]

I'm gonna go cry.

[gentle upbeat music continues]

What was the best piece of advice you got from RuPaul?

The best piece of advice RuPaul told me

is that, bitch, I already got the job

so I ain't gotta do nothing else.

That's a good one. I already got the job,

bitch, look at me,

I'm here answering questions so-

Jump on in, girl. She got the pink one.

Okay, Who did you learn the most from

during your season of All Stars?

[Everyone] Ooh!

I mean, I don't wanna give any spoilers away

but I will say I took something I think from everybody.

Yeah.

I mean, I can think of like instances

where I was with each and every one of the girls

and I was able to walk away, I think, a better queen.

You know, more fully rounded out

because all of you girls bring something

so different from each other and from what I am.

So thank you for a great season.

Yes, literally. Yes, yeah.

Can I go next? Yeah, yeah, yeah, literally.

Okay, just gonna pick this one

because it's right on the top.

And the question reads...

[everyone laughing] Read it twice.

Read it twice.

Who were you most excited to see

when you walked in the workroom?

Ooh, Vanjie, 'cause I can hear you.

I can hear you.

I was like standing there

and I was like, Ooh!

I was getting excited

'cause I was like, Bitch, I can hear you.

I can hear you too.

I heard you in the trailer,

I heard you like in the work room.

If I didn't know anybody else was gonna be there,

I knew you was gonna be there

and it made me excited, so period.

Let me see if I can read, okay.

Baby, you can't read.

Bitch, right, literally.

What is the challenge

you were looking forward to the most this season?

Doing a talent show,

like performing, doing a dance number type of thing,

girl group situation, those vibes.

Because you ain't never did one, right?

No, no we never did no girl group situation,

no talent show situation.

Yeah, that would be the one.

Okay, all right, all right.

We can all answer this.

If you could steal one of the queen's closets,

who would it be?

I would definitely steal Plastique's closet.

[everyone laughing]

I think we could all agree on that.

And why stop at the closet?

Take the car.

[everyone laughing]

Why stop at the closet?

Specifically, just gimme your first.

We'll take the first,

especially the red one.

Oh my god, you'll have to take it in a little bit.

[everyone laughing]

As if, gorg.

Thanks for testing our friendship, Glamour,

and see you next time.

[Everyone] Bye!

Group hug, group hug!

[Everyone] Oh!
