[MUSIC PLAYING]
When you walked in, and you took that big, big room
with the master bath--
and then you had the terrace.
Well, you should've been here first if you wanted the room.
Is anyone surprised that BeBe got the largest room?
No.
It's quintessential BeBe Benet bull [BLEEP]..
She just picks the biggest room and expects that she's
the queen of the land.
Well, the thing is that if you really wanted the room,
you should have been here first to get the room, girl.
It's nice to have a day to unwind, right, ladies?
Uh-huh.
Self-care is so important.
You know what self care makes me feel like?
What?
It makes me feel like I want to be a queen.
[LAUGHTER]
You know, that was actually--
Alabama, that was my first true experience just going there.
And I was so nervous when I thought had to go--
we had to go to Alabama, I was nervous.
[CHEERING]
[INAUDIBLE] queens.
They were all there with your little boards and beads.
It was like our own little Mardi Gras.
It really was.
I asked the queens to come down because our classmate
[INAUDIBLE] is going to be the queen of the LeFlore
High School, our class reunion.
[CHEERING]
[INAUDIBLE]
[SINGING] city.
Whoo!
When the queen's show up, that's
how you receive the dole.
Right?
It was so fun.
The thing about Danielle, is that Danielle has this really
wild and open personality.
[SQUEALING]
But it was very interesting to spend some really
quality moments with her.
She-- - Opens up.
--open up.
And you could tell that she also has been through some [BLEEP]..
I just want people to see that I'm beautiful inside and out.
Sometimes I don't feel like it on the inside.
Why don't you feel beautiful?
Well, it's been though some bad relationships,
and somebody telling you you're not for so many years.
You start to believe it.
For Danielle, when you've been through that kind of adversity,
sometimes you overcompensate by putting on the personality.
I could tell she needed us.
The makeup that you did, us taking her to Times Square,
everything that you did also, she wanted it,
and she loved it, she cherished it,
and she appreciated that we were there to make it very special.
You remember getting Danielle dressed in her house?
This does not give me queen royalty with a 20-foot train.
I forgot about the train.
Did you forget about the train?
Miss, Danielle, do you know how to walk with a 20-foot train?
No.
Oh, darling.
Do you remember when you did the tarp, and you were like,
you're going to be walking down with 7,000 miles of a train.
I'm going to teach you how to do it with this pile of garbage.
What do we have here, Miss Danielle.
Off of my neck in a basement.
Do you remember this?
Mm-hmm.
I don't know what came over me,
but we had to show Miss Danielle how to let the girls have it.
You made that tarp look good, sis.
SINGER: I shout about it.
Feel my soul with power.
Very [INAUDIBLE].
And tribute to our sis, queen tarp over here.
Let's find something in the room and reenact the tarp moment.
Oh, my god, immediately.
OK, BeBe, are you game for this?
Girl, I'm going to sit, and I'm going to watch.
Ladies and gentlemen, we want to welcome
you to the Miss Tarp Pageant.
We have three contestants that have been fighting
for the title Queen Tarp, presenting
contestant number one, Jujubee.
All right, she is serving top grapes.
And the color matches her skin tone.
[LAUGHTER]
Contestant number two fighting for Miss Queen Tarp is Thargy.
Oh-- oh, she looks hungry.
[GRUNT]
Oh, oh, oh, and we might be taking points out.
Might lose the pageant.
And our final contestant, Miss Alexis.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, she is holding--
A dog mat.
Oh, she knows how to work a tarp.
The judges have made their decision.
Please, take your place.
Hold on, I have to consult with the judges.
Who is she talking to?
Herself.
Is she talking to the wine bottles?
Just walk to the mirror and talk to yourself.
Now, the crowning moment.
Who is going to be Miss Tarp 2020202020.
And the judges have decided Miss Tarp is the one
and only, BeBe Zahara Benet.
[CHEERING]
Put a cracker-- put it in your mouth, stupid.
You know, when I got Daniel ready for her drag show,
I thought, let me give her a real drag beat
and make her feel what it's like to really be a queen
so she could harness that.
Cover that woman's brow.
She looked so soft.
I think you're going to like this.
Oh, my god.
Oh, this is beautiful.
Oh, my god.
Yes.
But that says something about you though.
You're a great artist because she
was wearing a lot of makeup.
The makeup wasn't wearing her.
And it was still her, and it was beautiful.
It was a heightened version of Danielle.
And she's a lot of woman.
She's a lot of attitude.
She's a lot of girl.
But talking about a lot, can we talk about Bethany?
Do you remember Bethany?
Oh, her daughter, her daughter.
Oh, my gosh.
She was too much.
She kept calling me Auntie JuJu, which was--
She called all of us Auntie.
Auntie JuJu, Auntie BeBe, Auntie Alexis, Auntie [INAUDIBLE]..
That was so cool though.
I got a little tea for y'all.
What?
The producers gave me 45 seconds
of an interview with Bethany.
And we need to watch it.
Oh.
Y'all ready?
Hi.
My name's Bethany, and I am the sassiest, classiest child
you will ever meet.
And as a matter of fact, I might even be the sassiest person
you ever known.
Oh, my gosh.
You know why?
Because I am elegant, sassy, and all of that.
If you want to be sassy like me, do this and walk away, honey.
[LAUGHTER]
I like her more.
I like her more now.
Oh, she needs to be disciplined.
That's an actress right there.
Cute frames though.
I have never seen a high school homecoming reunion
like that on that scale.
That was huge-- huge.
I love those ladies.
The queens just made me feel beautiful tonight.
That band was playing, and we walked down the whole thing.
We had a parade.
I was like, this is crazy.
Wild.
Mobile, Alabama knows how to do it.
Oh, she looked so stunning.
Beautiful.
You know what?
Can we all have a glass?
Can we just cheers to Danielle?
Cheers to Danielle.
What I loved about Danielle is I loved Danielle's spirit.
She has such an intoxicating, and I love
that she's very appreciative.
I love Danielle for her tenacity,
for her love for people, and the fact
that she puts herself out there and helps
everybody in her community.
That's why I love her.
Speaking of community, I love that she's a woman of faith.
Her church, and her community, and that whole network
of people means so much to her.
And they've clearly been there to lift
her up out of her despair too.
I love Danielle because she's one of the queens.
[LAUGHTER]
Danielle, keep reigning.
Oh, honey.
Are we just the dolls?
