When Yvie’s voice wavers and Jaida and Trinity place their hands on her so automatically, I’m sure I’ve been watching the right show for ten years now 💗
Then Monet did the same with Jinx, then Raja with Viv! Each time not even a thought they immediately went in to protective/comforting mode. I cried the whole last 10 min of this!
Ben is not just a great interviewer but a Broadway & movie icon himself, appearing in The Sound of Music, The Book of Mormon, Dear Evan Hansen & the Pitch Perfect series as well as being a singer songwriter among many other things.
raja deserves the respect and compliments. as a queer person from Indonesia, it is amazing to see someone who comes from the same culture like me being an icon in the very space i found comfort in
Notice how raja was the only one who didnt laugh at that moment? I think she thought it wasn't funny, but in a sense that she actually felt sad for her. She kept looking at jaida with such an empathetic expression.
1:07:00 is the prime example of true, authentic sisterhood. Jaida and Trinity, without a nanosecond's hesitation, as if on instinct, made themselves available to comfort Yvie. That speaks to them having a natural desire to nurture and heal. ❤️️💜💖
Yep. Trinity the Block had so many haters before AS7 started but i'm really glad it's turning around - she can be messy, but srsly, so many of us can! And i really this talented plastic bitch has a big heart.
This was one of the best interviews I have ever seen in my life...such inspiring stories, humorous, and authentic. This really shows how much fun and entertaining the show is going to be. All winners is going to be the most Iconic drag race of the franchise
When my twin sister was hooked on drugs and I was hopelessly depressed and lost, RPDR got me out of bed, it gave me the confidence to find a job, and back to work being a mother to my daughters. I owe this silly reality show everything I have now. I hope these Queens know how much they touch people just by simply sharing their stories.
I was there and it was so nice to see them just having a conversation. It was funny, emotional, and being in the room during that Nicki doll comment was like being on a tv show. Also, thank you to the queens who hung out after to chat with the fans behind the building, namely Raja, Jinx, Jaida, Shea, and Viv.
So glad to see this! I thought maybe Jinkx wasnt feeling too well cause she didnt really seem to be sitting comfortably?? But she mustve been feeling ok if she stuck around afterwards 😊
I don't do "drag" but I have to say watching these queens for years, I've learned so much about my truth self, how to accept society assumptions and keep an eye on my goals, because I'm beautiful and I can achieve whatever I want to.

I agree, Ms Monet and the Talk Show Public have been robbed! I say we start some kind of revolt or public outcry to get this mensch back on the air. I mean, now that Ellen's gone who is going to fill the void?
when most of the ru girls said Jaida just be saying whats on her mind looking back and now looking her on the show I get what they mean she’s so funny with her phrases and quotes😭
ben platt absolutely crushed this!!!! he knew how to play to their strengths and highlighted the best parts of each of them. he should interview more often!
Ben was such a great choice for this bc we all know him and more importantly he is a huge fan of these queens and knows their stories well. The mutual respect was beautiful to watch
i have never thought drag would make me cry. They have discovered themselves through drag, and they have shared us the gift of finding it within ourselves.
My teenage + years were around drag queens. They have gone through some of the most someone can go through, and still they manage to entertain, and keep positive.
OmG, Raja! He TRULY wasn't aware of how admired and respected he was/is by fans and queens, older or newer. It's like she forgot she was a champion/ America's superstar drag queen!
Watching Yvie struggle to stand up when everyone was giving Jadia a standing O broke my heart. As someone who knows what a life with an illness that causes chronic pain similar to her diagnosis it just was so hard to see 💔
Oh I felt this in my bones and my soul! Seeing trinity hold her arm as she sat back down made me cry...so hard to live with this....yet oh so much love....ugg my heart!
This is what touched me the most. Yvie has in abundance that same thing all these queens have, and that is a zest for life...They take life by the hand, and just pull it along with them wherever they go. And for myself, someone who is older, and has many issues with health, the cruelest of disabilities I feel, is the ones that take away your ability to interact with life, and other people, and animals/pets, yet at the same time be mentally still fully sharp, and realizing what is happening to you. Like Muscular Dystrophies, and Alzheimers, and Multiple Sclerosis, and so many that the bodies loss of ability to interact with the world, yet still having a mind to realize at the same time what is happening to you has got to be the saddest. So, when Yvie who is so boldly unique, and so out there when it comes to loving life itself ( i mean just listen to her laugh ), yet knowing that the loss of mobility being an inevitability is just heart crushing to me.
26:58 - Jinkx: Im 34, I started Drag at 15 so thats how much time its been.. Monet: *Stares into spaces and starts doing intense maths formulas in her head*
Can I just say: I enjoy 'love-drag' so much more than 'bitch-drama-drag'. There is so much hate and spite and drama in the world anyway. I enjoy kindness so much more. But maybe that's just me. That moment Jada und Trinity reach out to Yvid at the same second? ... Instant tears. What a lovely moment.
It’s so lovely to see Trinity and Monet loving and respecting each other the entire season. The fandom can be so territorial and mean pitting queens against each other. They ARE both winners and they BOTH deserve it. Everybody say love! ❤️
Ben did such a great job moderating this discussion. You could tell he was a genuine fan of the show and knows the queens. His sharing how the show was important to him as a young queer person interested in the arts opened the door for some vulnerability from the cast. I was especially touched by how they supported each other when they were sharing about their experiences, challenges and triumphs. As winners of Drag Race they share a common experience and doing this legend's season is something that obviously bonded them. Nicki Doll being in the audience was the gag of the whole interview. It was sweet to see her and The Vivienne share a laugh and an embrace. I'm not sure if a second winner's season will be able to top this one (even though we've only seen three episodes). I think there are some queens who will choose not to compete again although fans would love to see them; like Sasha, Trixie and Bianca, which will likely be perceived as disappointing by some fans. So in some ways if you are a winner, this was the season to be on as other seasons aren't likely to be as well received.
Trixie is kind of confusing to me because she has said she won't go back multiple times but when she got a call she said no because she was busy with a lot of stuff but she made the producers promise her that they will call her again if they make another all winners season. Maybe she is open for all winners???
@@babis6919 -- In entertainment you always keep doors open because you never know what is going to happen. Better to say, "I'm sorry, I can't right now, I'm busy." Than to say, "I'm not interested."
They way they all physically touch & support each other throughout is so indicative of what a genuine family they have become. Raja & Viv kissing on the lips. I know their love of Westwood is very bonding. Theres not a weak link or filler in this bunch they all have both the talent & the personalities. They are all true winners no matter who wins this season. I feel drag race really needed a season with zero negativity or toxicity. I dont want it for the normal seasons but the winners season deserves that respect.
Oh Raja 😭 bless her 💕 it's incredible to hear someone that you look up to so much and view as so strong and confident, say they were intimidated to go into this competition and to be vulnerable and cry. I literally adore her. What an amazing person. Truly my favourite queen to grace this show 🥰
I super love Yvie's laugh. She's such a cool girl just naturally, and so many people that are trying to be cool for some reason feel like it's cool to withhold laughter and joy for some stoic ideal of aloofness or as though by laughing at someone else you elevate the person you laugh thus making you feel lower by comparison, who knows, I always hate to see it - on the other hand, it's so beautiful and refreshing to see someone radically reject that and be themselves. I think there is something so carefree and effortless about someone who isn't afraid to laugh with people and at themselves and Yvie embodies that so effortlessly. She's a gem!
Growing up, Drag Race was one of the few things that helped me feel okay in my own skin. Even now whenever I'm feeling down all I have to do is look at a clip from Drag Race or watch an episode and I immediately feel better. This show has honestly saved my life and I fucking LOVE it.
This interview is absolutely beautiful! I am so in love with every artist in this cast- as soon as I knew who was on this season I was immediately emotional, because they’ve all inspired me so deeply, in so many ways. Also, why is Ben Platt so fucking phenomenal all of the time. 🥺😍💖
Raja!! That moment when he shared that he would often daydream and it would be a distraction from school...RELATABLE! It really goes to show that great minds come in many forms. Thank you for that story, Raja.
Yvie Oddley is absolutely stunning! Her make up went next level since her win. It shows even during the episodes of AS7. & still a completely foxy boogeyman 😀💕
Ben did a really good job I felt like a student learning how to treat your guest and create such a warm fun atmosphere for them and make them feel great and loved but also let them express a side of themselves that they dont get to alot
You can just see the respect & love everyone shared. It’s evident that they had formed a deeper connection & relationships among all the cast. Love you QUEENS! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was such a beautiful and heartfelt conversation, yes about the show but way deeper than that. It's such a beautiful cast and this interview allowed us to know a little bit more of each of them not only as queens but as their true selves.
I was so sad before I started watching this over one hour interview.. the power these drag queens have on my mood, is something I cannot describe. I owe so much to them.
What an amazing cast. All those years of being a Drag Race superfan and following these queens are really paying off. This season really feels like a celebration of the show.
Jaida's on the Werq the World tour right now!! finally getting a proper tour with a bunch of the other girls who had to power through the drive-in drag shows last year 😭😂 so happy they get to see the world, and some of the season 14 girls are on the tour also like we're back baby~~~ and Monét has a comedy show in LA coming up soon and is performing at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Canada which is HUUUUGE😭💓 and Bob got to do Moontower (Trixie and Katya did a live version of their podcast for Moontower that's on their TH-cam and is so funny if you haven't seen it already please get on that😂), the Netflix is a Joke festival aka the comedy festival where Dave Chappell got attacked 😂 and MC'd for people like Wanda Sykes, Bob's also been doing tons of guest spots on tv shows like he was just a guest judge on Legendary this week, Jinkx and Ben are about to start their Australian tour if they haven't already (I don't remember 💀) which is gonna be riddled with comedy, I know there's so many more but like you get the idea 😂 queens are invading comedy and there's nothing they can do about it🔥 even if they don't wanna acknowledge them or admit they've been doing comedy and stand-up comedy for that matter longer than most of these other comics have even been in the scene, you can't deny they're killin it and if you can see any of these queens do their stand-up gig SEE IT 🔥🔥what I'd give for them to bring the roast tour back😳😂 I need to hear Thorgy and Bianca rip these queens to shreds 😂😂😂
oh and Symone and TS Madison are in Billy Eichner's new romantic comedy movie "Bros" like everyone go see it and support them it's the first gay centered big Hollywood romantic comedy like this and we gotta make sure it doesn't flop ✌😂💓
Loved this conversation, especially the last part! “Drag introduced me to myself,” and the idea of learning to own your space really resonated with me. This was so much fun to watch, but inspiring and enlightening as well! Side note: LOVE BEN PLATT!!!
This was so good. I thought Ben Platt's questions were thoughtful. I learned more about these amazing queens. I enjoyed watching the love they have for one another. Thanks, Rupaul, for all you've done for drag queens and little girls & boys.
raja made me cry when she cried jaida made me cry that clapping moment shea made me cry bec she cried yvie made me cry bec she cried vivienne made me cry bec of that wonderful comedy with nicky these people this franchise really is my chosen family.... :( idk if thats sad but im really happy that i have them(at least in my little screen) they give me breathing they taught me living
I’m literally dehydrated from how many tears I teared lol . This was lovely . I love happy warm no drama no one gets eliminated drag race . There’s no stress on the contestants but also not as much stress on the fans lol
I love how Jinkx portraits like a super polite and educated queen when you see her manners, the way she sits and so and when she talks she goes like "can I say fvc.? i've alredy said it". But besides that, she is all that I said on the begining and much more, I'm happy to see more of her on Drag Race.

1000% Agreed
Wow way to spoil 8 seasons
@@arthvill ..what? 💀
God I love raja. She’s such a humble legend, bless her for being so vulnerable.

Raja is top 3 in terms of drag race history. She’s an art icon in general
I love the way she rocks her beautiful, natural gray hair sometimes in drag. She owns her age like we all should. Seriously an icon.
I just watched her season and didn't like her personality but clearly she's evolved as a person
@@lb794 definitely was young and cocky
When Yvie’s voice wavers and Jaida and Trinity place their hands on her so automatically, I’m sure I’ve been watching the right show for ten years now 💗
I literally came to the comments for this. It was so wholesome and heartwarming
It shows they’re truly close - they picked on it immediately. I can hear her voice shaking but just barely.

I also did stand up when the people did a standing ovation for Jaida. Well deserved win!

I did as well. I'm glad she's getting her flowers. She won a highly competitive season of DR.

Her corset was killing her bless
I super love Yvie's laugh. She's such a cool girl just naturally, and so many people that are trying to be cool for some reason feel like it's cool to withhold laughter and joy for some stoic ideal of aloofness or as though by laughing at someone else you elevate the person you laugh thus making you feel lower by comparison, who knows, I always hate to see it - on the other hand, it's so beautiful and refreshing to see someone radically reject that and be themselves. I think there is something so carefree and effortless about someone who isn't afraid to laugh with people and at themselves and Yvie embodies that so effortlessly. She's a gem!
Growing up, Drag Race was one of the few things that helped me feel okay in my own skin. Even now whenever I'm feeling down all I have to do is look at a clip from Drag Race or watch an episode and I immediately feel better. This show has honestly saved my life and I fucking LOVE it.
Raja is such a humble queen. I love her so much
This interview is absolutely beautiful! I am so in love with every artist in this cast- as soon as I knew who was on this season I was immediately emotional, because they’ve all inspired me so deeply, in so many ways. Also, why is Ben Platt so fucking phenomenal all of the time. 🥺😍💖
Right?!
Ben is blessed with so many talents.
I really liked the vibe of this whole interview. The interviewer and cast all so genuinely complimentary, supportive and uplifting. Beautiful to see
Raja being so excited about being a simpson is adorable.
41:20 Jaida deserves this. Love that moment. 💖👑
Raja!! That moment when he shared that he would often daydream and it would be a distraction from school...RELATABLE! It really goes to show that great minds come in many forms. Thank you for that story, Raja.
Raja is like one of the goddess in Drag Race..
i cant believe raja is 48 she looks amazing
WHAT
Good skin care!
Raja is just a treasure 👑
Jinx Monsoon: Who knew dressing up like a middle aged woman would give you your whole life… 1:09:38
They love they showed Raja ❤️❤️I love this group you can tell they got really close
jinkx i’m so proud of you
nicki doll being in the audience had me SCREAAAAMINGGGGGGG
I am new in watching Drag Race. Can you explain what The Vivienne means before she realize Nicki Doll is there? Thanks!
@@rhonita she didn't win her season but she get her own gig to be judge on Drag Race France
Y’all, Shea and Yvie are at CHURCH when Jaida was talking. I LOVE that ✨
Raja was genius to be Madame in Snatch Game! I loved it❣️
Every time I see Raja, I end up crying one way or another
Yvie Oddley is absolutely stunning! Her make up went next level since her win. It shows even during the episodes of AS7. & still a completely foxy boogeyman 😀💕
This was amazing. Such sensitive souls. 🥺 ❤️ Raja made me cry and Shea's message about projecting who you want to be is so powerful.
ben! thankyou for complimenting raja in that way! we love her and how she was so unapologetic in that day and time! 😭
Ben did a really good job
I felt like a student learning how to treat your guest and create such a warm fun atmosphere for them and make them feel great and loved but also let them express a side of themselves that they dont get to alot
This is a great interview. Ben did a great job and the Queens are so lovely
Seeing Raja vulnerable is magical ❤️
You can just see the respect & love everyone shared. It’s evident that they had formed a deeper connection & relationships among all the cast. Love you QUEENS! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They looked like a girl group, so fun, so heartwarming to watch!
Ben Platt and Drag Race queens. This is like my 2 worlds colliding. I love it!
This was such a beautiful and heartfelt conversation, yes about the show but way deeper than that. It's such a beautiful cast and this interview allowed us to know a little bit more of each of them not only as queens but as their true selves.
This is one of the best Q &A panels from Dragrace I’ve enjoyed. All the Queens were respectful and eloquent.
I was so sad before I started watching this over one hour interview.. the power these drag queens have on my mood, is something I cannot describe. I owe so much to them.
What an amazing cast. All those years of being a Drag Race superfan and following these queens are really paying off. This season really feels like a celebration of the show.
Jaida is a full blown comedian, get her on a comedy tour asap, damn.
Jaida's on the Werq the World tour right now!! finally getting a proper tour with a bunch of the other girls who had to power through the drive-in drag shows last year 😭😂 so happy they get to see the world, and some of the season 14 girls are on the tour also like we're back baby~~~ and Monét has a comedy show in LA coming up soon and is performing at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Canada which is HUUUUGE😭💓 and Bob got to do Moontower (Trixie and Katya did a live version of their podcast for Moontower that's on their TH-cam and is so funny if you haven't seen it already please get on that😂), the Netflix is a Joke festival aka the comedy festival where Dave Chappell got attacked 😂 and MC'd for people like Wanda Sykes, Bob's also been doing tons of guest spots on tv shows like he was just a guest judge on Legendary this week, Jinkx and Ben are about to start their Australian tour if they haven't already (I don't remember 💀) which is gonna be riddled with comedy, I know there's so many more but like you get the idea 😂 queens are invading comedy and there's nothing they can do about it🔥 even if they don't wanna acknowledge them or admit they've been doing comedy and stand-up comedy for that matter longer than most of these other comics have even been in the scene, you can't deny they're killin it and if you can see any of these queens do their stand-up gig SEE IT 🔥🔥what I'd give for them to bring the roast tour back😳😂 I need to hear Thorgy and Bianca rip these queens to shreds 😂😂😂
oh and Symone and TS Madison are in Billy Eichner's new romantic comedy movie "Bros" like everyone go see it and support them it's the first gay centered big Hollywood romantic comedy like this and we gotta make sure it doesn't flop ✌😂💓
*except snatch game
Jaida's "We love you Guru" to Raja at 22:44 OMG what a moment
I'm crying 😭
Raja is just amazing. You really can tell tht she's awesome and true. I really love these queens.
Well, I’m up at 2am with terrible insomnia, & this popped on my recommended page, & thank the gods it did!
Raja is such a gem
Loved this conversation, especially the last part! “Drag introduced me to myself,” and the idea of learning to own your space really resonated with me. This was so much fun to watch, but inspiring and enlightening as well!
Side note: LOVE BEN PLATT!!!
I’m so happy Raja is back once more to show the children who auntie is!! ✨💕
This was so good. I thought Ben Platt's questions were thoughtful. I learned more about these amazing queens. I enjoyed watching the love they have for one another. Thanks, Rupaul, for all you've done for drag queens and little girls & boys.

Whatever sustains you, nurtures your spirit, makes you softer yet stronger, is true and good. ❤️
Raja I love so much and when she cried yallllllll I was like awww honey
The moderator did a great job, I love this! 💜💜
This was such a wholesome interview. I cried, laugh & smiled from start to finish. Thank you 💕
You can tell when Raja's edible kicked in. She's a legend (a humble at that) and she deserves everything she received and will receive
I’m literally dehydrated from how many tears I teared lol . This was lovely . I love happy warm no drama no one gets eliminated drag race . There’s no stress on the contestants but also not as much stress on the fans lol
Monét face when Jinx was trying to calculate how many years has gone by since she started at the dance club
I loved this. Thank you for posting. Oh yes, the MC was adorable!
He’s a Tony nominated broadway actor and was in the pitch perfect movies. Name is Ben platt
This was so lovely. These ladies have been such a bright spot and the serotonin boost that is so needed right now.
My God, I love Jaida! Her response made me tear up
Can we say thank you to Ben for an amazing interview and he being so sweet and respectful ❤️
That Nicki Doll moment w/Viv was hysterical!
I love how Jinkx portraits like a super polite and educated queen when you see her manners, the way she sits and so and when she talks she goes like "can I say fvc.? i've alredy said it".
But besides that, she is all that I said on the begining and much more, I'm happy to see more of her on Drag Race.
Jaida looks so stunnn
Such lovely interview! Giving support, love, uplift amazing cast of Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars 7.Such a great job Ben Platt as moderator.
