Episode Date: September 9, 2025

Latch your steamer trunk and press your travel slacks, as Trixie and Katya summon you for a grand tour through the jeweled harbors of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 7, Episodes 9 and 10. Like discerning ...aesthetes adrift upon the sapphire sea, they linger in reverie over the operatic revels of the Divine Comedy challenge, then recline in first-class velvet banquettes to consider, with equal parts mirth and melancholy, the metamorphic splendor of the makeover episode. Their discourse gleams with the intricacy of freshly-blown Murano glass, refracting triumphs radiant as a Tuscan dawn and humiliations heavy as an Amalfi dusk. Let your eyes and ears wander as their recollections drift like perfumed zephyrs along the cliffs of the Cinque Terre. Sit back, relax, and let their reminiscences unfold as an intoxicating odyssey stitched from myth, memory, and the gilded embroidery of glamour.

Starting point is 00:00:57 And today we're talking about Audible. If you know anything about Kachinae, you know that we are lovers of romance, paramours, superiors, if you will. I believe the titles you're searching for are The Morning Dove of Desire and the Crimson Countess of Courtship. Whatever are official titles, we are both obsessed with romance. And while we live in a constant state of barely managed insanity, there are times when we need to escape. And what better way to be transported to rose-tinted realms of reverie than listening to Audubles' romance collection? They have audiobooks to satisfy every side of you no matter what's your predilections. Whether you're into modern rom-coms by authors like

Starting point is 00:02:37 And then look at this I'll have you know that I won a Webby Award By myself That's a slinky mama No no no It's what? Oh my God Look at you
Starting point is 00:02:47 Oh it's heavy Read what it's for Oh, sorry. Um, okay. To, uh, why won't you say what it says? Because I don't trade in falsehoods. What?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Really, you had a plastic wig on last week. Wait, 20205 people's voice award. Is this, is this from Timo? Does Timu mean Webby? Creators, colon.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Best Dance and Performance? Why are you mad? I'm not mad. I'm confused. What the hell is it? When did you ever dance? And why would you win an award for it? When don't I dance?
Starting point is 00:03:29 Trixie Mattel and Nick Walker. So please explain. You have a lot of explanations. You know what? It's up for the people to decide, okay, I don't. I could never. And you know, and I should never even. There's a reason why I was nominated and I won.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And it's an award for dance. Why are you like that? I'm incredulous. What happened? if I actually have done something and I get recognized. Well, it's like when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. What is it really talking? It's an award for dance.
Starting point is 00:04:02 What are you talking about? I dance. I actually, can I say, what is it? I don't know. Okay. But I won it. And I will never take that from me. No, I won't. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:04:13 You can say a lot of things. I could be bother goose. I could get disgraced though and it could be taken away from me in the next year. And then I'll have to... Stripped of your medal. Stripped of my crown. Oh, my God. So I want to say, I love to dance.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I would have never thought that I would receive an award for it, but here we are. Well, honey, if it's at the cheetah, it ain't dancing, I know that much. What I worry about is, what if somebody who's a professional dancer was nominated in that category
Starting point is 00:04:33 and was like, wait a minute. Yeah. What if I'm fucking, um, you know, Henry Goldenblad or whatever. But I think, I think it's voting related. And Trix and Katya fans are like those spam Uber East accounts with the multiple phones in the wall.
Starting point is 00:04:46 They're bots. Oh, yeah. They're ready. It's giving Russian. We got teenage girls who are at home voting. Not just voting outvoting us. Not just voting, baby. They're patched into several mainframes in different countries.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Hackers. Hackers. Yeah. I still would love to know which dance performance this received. I think it's just like the energy. I don't honestly. Shut up. It's not for one thing.
Starting point is 00:05:11 It's like a creator award best dancer. I don't know how this is this a loophole? It's like the Golden Globes when they put August. Osage County and best comedy are musical. I mean, they didn't do that. Okay. Yeah. Well, nevertheless, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. So well deserved. I mean, you're not... Stay mad. You're not, no, listen, I'm going to give it up because it takes a lot of calories to really be a hater, and I just want to congratulate you when you're well-deserved and very,
Starting point is 00:05:37 very well-deserved success. Thank you. Smile while you still can, bix. Bix. Bix. Bix. You Botox bitch. Before I bust all your front teeth out, you fucking fat bitch.
Starting point is 00:05:46 So, well, okay. We're in this episode here. We lost Jaden Dior Fierce last week. RIP. We lost her to tuberculosis. We lost her to tuberculosis. The lip sync was Tiffany. I think we're alone now.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Which is funny for twins. Yes. Very funny. Very funny. Although break free could have been also really good by Ariana previously used. Break free. So we open this episode. That is a very, they don't do that witty.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Witty kind of like not anymore. They do like, do you remember when they did the all black and white looks and then they did like Bloody Mary. I thought it was Colors of the Wind. That would have been funny.
Starting point is 00:06:25 They do sometimes pick them for the thing. Really? Sometimes. Okay, so we open with the Reading Challenge. The Season 7 Reading Challenge, what do you remember
Starting point is 00:06:34 about putting that together? Because I remember being ready to rip into all of you. I don't remember. I actually don't, I remember from All Stars. I don't quite recall this one. I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:06:44 What did they say? I remember winning when I got back in. That night they said, all right, go home tomorrow just so you know it's the reading challenge. Oh, you know what? And I do remember us all kind of collaborating because a lot of the girls weren't really,
Starting point is 00:06:55 I mean, by self-include, I wasn't really like an insult comic, so we kind of struggled a little bit. I know, like, some people were given reads by meat. Like, I feel like I said, oh, this is something good. We're vice versa. Right. We kind of like workshoped it, I feel like. I've done a few of those tours where you like roast
Starting point is 00:07:09 and I love roast. I love reads. I love some mean funny shit. I don't, I love it. I do tend to cross the line and then later someone has to come up to me on the tour bus and say, hey, um,
Starting point is 00:07:21 anything about my divorce. Okay. And I go, oh, okay, change it up for tomorrow. Yeah. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:07:25 this divorced bitch can't find one fucking lover. No, they'll tell me after I've said it. Like, hey, you know, my mom just died. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Please don't mention her being a fat over. I'm like, oh, sorry, you know, but, but then that same person is like, anyway,
Starting point is 00:07:39 Trixie's so ugly the one and one who fuck her was her dad. And I'm like, so what's the two-way street here, girl, you know, why can't you make fun of things that are, you know, my hairline or my, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:07:51 So I do like that. Violet says, Katia, why don't you make it like your hairline and receive? That's a good one. Fame is the worst reader. Oh, baby. My God. You guys, I remember it like it was yesterday. It was so.
Starting point is 00:08:02 It's a thing called Tuftah where you feel like viscerally embarrassed for somebody on stage. It was very horrible to have to endure for me and everybody else. Yes. It was like, it was like, baby, just get her off the stage. Just get her off the stage. Everybody picked their worst joke and their worst A-A-A-B-E and just went for it. It was like, it was really not a great moment.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So bad. You know, I win the Reading Challenge. I remember feeling very good about that. Yeah. Did you win some money? No, I didn't get fucking anything. Are you fucking. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I did. Oh, my God. I did. We even, thank you for jogging. No, no, no. Bitch, I will tell you, whore, what I won. I remember Rupal goes, and you win a phone call home.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I had just been home the day before. Oh, mind you, we know Val does. doesn't call me. She won't even pick up. My mom call, I called her this morning on the way here in the car and she said, oh, can I, um, can I'm going to have to call you back. I'm going to step outside. And then she called me on speakerphone from outside. She said, I just brought you on the patio with me. So if I get her on the patio on speakerphone, she'll smoke. Who is this? I can't. I want a phone call home. Who did you call? You called James Sokolov attorney at law. No. Ginger was married at the time to someone else. Oh, you gave your, she missed her husband. Oh, you're such a... What a self-less act. Good for you. And then they never showed it. Of course,
Starting point is 00:09:21 because you were just cheating out to camera the whole time. That's what I'm saying. If you're not going to use that, I'll order your pizza. I'll do something. I'll call movie phone. You should have ordered her pizza.
Starting point is 00:09:29 It would have been amazing if they filmed it and I called movie phone. Just to see what movies were playing. Or you called our congressman. Oh my God. Or prank call. If I go one phone go home
Starting point is 00:09:38 and they're rolling the cameras do you have Prince Albert and a can't? Like, I would have fucking love that. I'm looking for Amanda. Amanda hugging kiss. I just was, Matt. I remember watching it and being like, wait a minute, wait a minute. If here's the glorious footage of me talking
Starting point is 00:09:49 about domestic abuse, can we get the phone call? I gave you a through line. I give you a button. Like, come on, I'm giving you. Yeah. And we know why I'm not calling home. You know, I'll get popped. Wait, wait. So we haven't thoroughly discussed the huge dynamic shift away
Starting point is 00:10:05 from produced and untucked really at length. Mama, this is like boring boots kind of sort of. I mean, have we talked about Kennedy falling asleep and untucked? Oh, can I be honest, nothing, did we talk about this? Nothing hit me with reality more than when you're on drag race, the first
Starting point is 00:10:21 episode on season seven, and you walk into what you think is going to be the interior illusion lounge. Another show. Another TV show. Another TV show. They decided to make it a 35 minute gritty, sad documentary that's YouTube only. A no audio, slice of life, black and
Starting point is 00:10:37 white screen saver kind of video. Eraser head. It was so, I was like, well. March of the Penguins. Yeah, I was like, no, mom. That won awards. It was like, this was like, planet Earth surveillance footage. It was surveillance footage. It was parking lot surveillance footage. Yes, we had three. I mean, it literally was.
Starting point is 00:10:55 It was so weird. It literally was. That was the whole, it started as surveillance. Like black and white. I hated that on tuck. I hated it too. I hated it. Give me the real on touch.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Bring back the fucking interior lounge. I'm through illusions lounge. Like, bring back, I feel very attacked. Bring back teleport us to Mars. Bring back Sugar Daddy. Like there was none of that. And put it on TV. The funnest part about Drag Race was sometimes Untucked would start, and it would be so exciting.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Some people would look at Drag Race as a prelude to Untucked as being the main event. I mean, for season six? Season seven, we got the worst untucked. And it was a, yeah, and it was also a demoralizing setup. It was like, okay, so we are, like our moms and dads moved away. They left us home alone and we're going to have to fend for ourselves. You know what I mean? It felt like the beginning of the end.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah. It was not very, it didn't feel very. I hated it. I hated it, too. Although, I got to say, it was the only good thing about it, I thought, was like, you could just relax. Well, it also wasn't on TV. That's the part I don't hate. I don't like about it.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Well, no, shit. It was a nothing. Like, I'll shoot on a new set, obviously, whatever. It was a button. It was an afterthought. It was an afterthought. Where's the TV? Also, their YouTube channel mirror, I think you had more subscribers back than they did.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Do now. You know what I mean? But yeah, it was, it was, it was like fun, kind of, but it was like not a show. Wasn't a show. We didn't do a show. Yeah, that really disappointed me. It was, like, going to meet Santa and seeing him smoking behind the mall. It was like, oh. His pants down jerking off.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Jerking off. Okay, so we get announced that John Waters is going to be there, and we're going to be doing musical vignettes taken from iconic John Waters films. Yes. Did you know about John Waters at the time? Yes, I was very. So this is one of those moments where, like, as the setup is rolling out, I'm like, I'm not going home this week.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Boop, boop, boop, boop. And also, no offense to everyone around us. I was like, okay, we're singing and doing comedy. It will be okay. Yeah. And what I was, the, the,
Starting point is 00:12:48 the, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, when she said,
Starting point is 00:12:52 ugliest dress ever, I was like, ha. You said, can we rewear things or not? I was like, I was like, baby,
Starting point is 00:12:58 pack it up hose. You should have come out the despie's dress again. Oh, I know. Because now that all the, all the whole, all the whole,
Starting point is 00:13:03 all the whole back was all rubbed off from the sequence with no linem. Girl, it was, it was, that was like, when the, that when the, when I felt my name on the marquee
Starting point is 00:13:11 and I felt like the green carpet roll out and I was like, this is my swamp thing moment. Right. This is the moment where I get to show how chunky my ski is. Right. Well, speaking of, I completely forgot all about this challenge and we'll get to our skits, but let's start with
Starting point is 00:13:26 poo. Okay, so this is, but I learned this. You can't say poop on TV. So you're allowed to say poo. Okay. Which is why we kept saying poo. Okay, so, okay. There are so many things I got to say about this.
Starting point is 00:13:38 And my heart really goes out to the three girls Because they had the chips stacked against them Single mom who works too hard And has three jobs And never stops And then she gets penalized for being a minute late Parking in the wrong parking spot She gets towed
Starting point is 00:13:53 She doesn't have money for the toe She's trying to get by She's just doing her best DSS is expensive These girls where all three of them Were unequipped They were unqualified to wear these shoes And also those shoes
Starting point is 00:14:07 didn't fit anybody. The song was Madma, it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. It was a crime. Not to mention there's other scenes in female trouble. Way more interesting than eating shit.
Starting point is 00:14:22 The lobster? The courtroom scene? I mean, Mary, think about John fucking hairspray. Hair spray. Polyester.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Well, I think that's what they were trying to do is because hairspray is a musical. Let's make other John Waters things a musical. Who? fucking cares. Right. Like, I, it doesn't,
Starting point is 00:14:40 there's so many, you could have done, what would I have, long story short, this was fucking unforgivable. It was, it was not interesting. The girls did still set up for success.
Starting point is 00:14:50 None of us, not even Ginger, could have done that song well. No. The song was unlistenable. It was, I have a personal, huge,
Starting point is 00:14:59 like, visceral reaction to the word poo. And Violet with the fat belly looking pregnant? It was, I felt for those girls so much. They were so. miserable and it was so deserved least they it was tough to watch I hated that also all three of
Starting point is 00:15:13 them I don't think any of them are suited for collaboration and all for being ugly and like and like gross and also they they were it was one of those like hypocritical critiques where they were like your guys are doing too much right doing too much on a john water's drag musical too cost to me yeah too cost to me the only part I liked was when fame was like this oh yeah it made no sense but I loved it also it was like that Rue Ginsburg or Merle Ginsburg thing, when they had the absurd one, this made no sense either.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Right. Like, it wasn't able to, you weren't able to stage it. Well, I think something better would have been like, um, something about the filthiest people alive. Right. Do you know what I mean? Like something, like Raymond Connie Marbles and Divine. Yeah. That would have been perfect. Or like, I'm trying to think in female trouble
Starting point is 00:15:59 when she's in high school. They could have played the high school girls. Wait. Wait a minute. What? Pink flamingos is the dog eating shit. Sorry, I'm so sorry. But pink flamingos is the dog eating shit. Sorry. I'm so sorry. Pinklamingos is the filthiest people alive. Yeah, Connie Marbles, really Marbles. Connie Marbles, Divine, and then Edith Massey. And is, wait, is Egg Lady is also from Fulmigos, right?
Starting point is 00:16:18 Okay, got it, got it, got it. And then yours is female trouble. Ours is, yes. But also, I better get those cha-cha-hiel. Eat your makeup from, I mean, way, way, way back. I mean, eat your makeup is a perfect thing for fame. I love Desperate Living, too. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I think my favorite one. That was with the lesbian, right? When she gets the phalloplasty and then decides she doesn't want it and cuts her own phalloplasty dick off. That's what I haven't seen. Without the lesbian queen of the whatever. Yeah. Actually, like queen of, it's like a queen of a garbage town. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:47 There was so many more options and like, I, again, like, I can't hear the word poo without like just. I hate it. Poop is fun. This is poo is, poo is gross. It's just the gross. It's Trixine Katty. You're from The Bald and the Beautiful and we have to talk to you, but. Audible. If you know anything about us, we are certified romanceopaths.

Starting point is 00:19:26 Yeah. The note I took was I kind of just flop at everything on this season. Even this, which is I do. okay. Ginger bulldozes me. But here's the thing about that though. She's amazing. This is, I feel like out of every, any type thing I've seen on Drag Race, she is, this is an Oscar Tony winning performance. It's unbelievable how able she is to channel Edith Massey. And it's so grotesque and so accurate and so like she gets everything. It's just perfect. She's perfect. It's incredible. It's incredible. It's fucking amazing. And she,
Starting point is 00:20:03 everything on the song is delivered so well doesn't hurt that the song is fabulous The song is good too It's great, it's catchy Every morning when the sun gum It's like you hum it and you want to sing it Like it's fabulous and you guys are singing great And she just looks- And the set is good
Starting point is 00:20:19 It's the baby pen with her in it And it gets so nasty And then we're crushing eggs on each other's faces So gross We got a good skit Yeah and honestly I remember my focus being I'm not gonna beat Ginger so I can't be the person who completely disappears next to.
Starting point is 00:20:36 No, you did fine. And I luckily did fine. Yeah, you did fine. I would have, no, but none of us would have ever beat Ginger in this challenge. Except maybe, honestly, Kennedy was, we have to talk about yours. You guys were both so good. We had a fucking blast. Kennedy was so.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's see what Ginger has to stay. We have a voice from Ginger who apparently has a phone. Congregulations on your phone purchase. T-Mobile. In the morning when the sun goes shock I can poop you in my bum all day.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Well, well, well, if it isn't Trixie and Katia. Hey girls, it's Ginger Minge. I am no longer in overweight, but I am still an asthmatic chain smoking cross-dresser from Orlando, Florida. And I'm so happy that you're actually doing this rewatch. I should do it myself. because I haven't actually sat down and watched season seven in 10 years.
Starting point is 00:21:38 But there are things that like pop back into my memory. Mostly, everybody goes, what's like the best day ever? Was it eggs, eggs, eggs? No, I'm grateful for eggs, eggs, eggs. And I think that Trixie and I had a great time doing it. But do you remember they stood us there for like 45 minutes, just chucking dozens and dozens and dozens of raw. eggs at our faces while they were trying to get the right angles.
Starting point is 00:22:07 And, I mean, this is, of course, like, the show has grown and expanded. And now there's a much bigger camera crew, well, crew in general. But at that time, there were like two cameras that were trying to get everything. So they just kept pelting us with eggs. And then we had to go and immediately shower. But then they took, you wore my hip pads on top of your hip pads to give you that shape. and they were covered in raw egg and they took them and had to
Starting point is 00:22:37 well they said they were gonna wash them but they didn't or maybe they did but not well enough and for like the next two weeks those pads just got worse and worse and worse and it smelled like rotting eggs oh like she needed help with that department
Starting point is 00:22:57 not to mention who wants their butt area to smell like rotten eggs I have to say too Now that she said that I remember standing in this baby crib And it's cold on Drag Race Freezing I'm smashing eggs all over her
Starting point is 00:23:10 We're whipping eggs at each other I'm hitting real eggs at her And I remember smashing the egg on her And the shell and the yolk Running down her eye And I remember being like Is this okay Can she she can ever sing again?
Starting point is 00:23:25 She is if anything She commits She was amazing And also This is a musical theater thing obviously, but like when you're not singing, you're still supposed to be in character. That horn never broke character.
Starting point is 00:23:36 It was, I mean, it's truly fucking stunning. I think it's one of the best performances I've ever seen on Drag Race period. It's the best performance of the season, I think. Oh, 100%. 100%. Okay, you might not be able to sing like Ginger. You were incredible. My note I have here is that you are amazing.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Really? I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm kidding. I had the, this was by far the funnest day or a couple of days, there was not one moment where I was like fearful or nervous or anything. I was like it was just 100% fun. I wish Kennedy eats too. Girl, Kennedy
Starting point is 00:24:08 made all the food and then served it and then we both ate. Well, I mean, you don't have the anxiety of her not performing well. No. So you just get to do your thing. I had to keep up with her. Because she had the main part and she had most of the lines. What the hell are these? Your new shoes. It was like, it was so fun in the Lucien Pian P on me.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Lucian P on me. But it was like, but it was like, Like, that was one of the rare days where I was like, oh, my God, I know I'm not going to go home. It was just so, so, so, so fun. There was no stress. Got to be ugly as fuck. And then also ugly on the runway. Yeah. It was like, definitely my moment.
Starting point is 00:24:41 That, you had so many moments. When they announced who's in it, you do this slow turn to the camera. That's psychotic. Also, the thing where you're like, all I ever put the, and let the legs and all the busted panty hose. She beats the shit out of you. I know. Like, she beats the shit out of you. And I love to get thrown around.
Starting point is 00:24:56 She beats the shit out of you. And then throws. the tree on you. It's a good. Can I tell you? You probably don't have this memory. So you guys know on the workroom on Drag Race, it's all these tables. And when we're not performing, we're sitting there with our headphones and rehearsing. This whore is sitting there by herself at a table.
Starting point is 00:25:13 And I don't even think you know that I'm in there. And she has her lyric sheet and she's dressed as that old lady. And you have the lyric sheet and the headphones. And on a loop, you're going, please, Todd. Please, Todd. It's Lord. It's Christmas, Toward. And I remember, like, watching me, like, what is their shit about?
Starting point is 00:25:32 Oh, it was so, so fun. And they really, they really, they really turned the party with those sets. Besides the poop. The sets were good. Your guys, this was amazing. Ours was great. It was like, we really got handed. And the best thing about your scene, too, is your scene plays out in that movie.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Yeah. It worked perfect for a musical. Don would have a tirade because she doesn't get the shoes. And also, we had a great, we had a great climactic denou mall. And it was just like really satisfying to see. Christmas is always a good starting point, too. A mom and daughter on Christmas. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Oh, yeah. I really, you know, there are a few times as a participant and a viewer in this, in this process where I think shenanigans are afoot. This is one of the, this is one instance where I actually kind of, as a viewer watching it back, it gave me pause. I was like, what's going on here with them three? Why'd they give them that shitty number? You know what I mean? Oh, you feel like it was intentional. shenanigans. I don't. Usually, my opinion is that it's never shenanigans, it's negligence.
Starting point is 00:26:32 You know what I mean? Things don't, people aren't plotting against you. They just make mistakes or they overlook. You know what I mean? TV can work both ways. The group that no one expects to do well, doing well, is also good TV. Sure, sure, sure. They also could pull it out. Yeah. Or it's interesting story if one of them kills it and the other two are awful. Sure. But I don't, so general, as a rule, I generally don't think people have the time or the energy. or the, even the intelligence to plot against you. No, I don't either. It's negligent.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah, I absolutely agree. They're not there to make it easy for us. No. But I don't think they sit in a room and say, let's fuck her life up. I really don't. No, they're outside smoking or having lunch. Right. They're not like, they're regular people.
Starting point is 00:27:11 They don't have it the time. And also when you're a drag queen flopping on TV, it's very easy to say production had it out for me. Yeah. They don't even have it out for themselves. Girl, you weren't even out for yourself, you know? But that number sucked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:21 It really sucked. I hated watching it back. it was sucked and I felt bad for them. Yeah, I, I think we get, somebody says I'm not ready to go home, which I love when they say on TV, because who is? No one ever. Well, actually, I did. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:36 No one ever says, I'm ready to go home. I had literally said, I'm ready to go. Call my Uber. Do Uber didn't exist at the time? Sorry. Also, I wrote this and this is like, I don't want to be whatever to anybody. Do Pearl and Fame hate each other? Like, their energy, they're always bicketts.
Starting point is 00:27:54 in this series. Well, think about it. At this point, just think about their personality types. Fame is insufferably verbose. Pearl is incredibly chill.
Starting point is 00:28:03 It's just oil and water. Yeah. You know what I mean? They were like kind of fighting because they're putting their skit together and they're fighting putting together at poo. And watching people really be irritated like that is like, ooh, hard to watch.
Starting point is 00:28:16 And also having an arm wrestling contest over a shit is just really futile. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:50 memories. Be like goldfish. Oh, our runways. Okay. Mary. Got to give it up for Kennedy as the old grandma lady. See, this is where I disagree. That shit cracked me up. I think it was too easy. You think? Yeah. I think Kennedy and Ginger are big time dings on this runway. Oh, I hated Ginger's. Gingers and famed. Kennedy,
Starting point is 00:31:10 Ginger, in my opinion, Kennedy, Ginger, fame and Pearl. Huge dings. Did not follow the assignment. Fame looked beautiful. Fame was editorial. Fame looked so beautiful. One of the most beautifully sculpted updews ever seen on the show could see the tape, but like the makeup. The makeup gorgeous. The tears. I mean, it was like breathtaking.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Gorgeous. Pearl. It was Vogatalia. Pearl was quite. Like, yeah, it was like pretty cute. You're adorable. Yeah. Ginger was like, oh, that dress is horrible because it has like a rip in it.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I mentioned ginger. You've worn uglier things. No shit. Like on Drake race. Honey, I would have taken something all about a closet. Baby. Turn the wings around, Dina. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:31:48 Yeah. And I will say too. I ate that challenge. I ate that runway up. You look like Natasha Leone at a craft fair. At a meth lab. The dress is so... I remember seeing your shoes and see...
Starting point is 00:32:00 I remember being like, is she... Is this too far? Maybe. When it comes to ugly, there's no limit. The limit does not exist. It was ugly. But I remember, I remember I went... Because I was struggling.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Did you get the wig? Mama. Oh, you know, the wig came courtesy of my friend Jake Tinsley. Frida Fry's who also gave me that track, the track Muglia tracks. suit I wore in All-Stars later. It was just this gigantic loaf that I fucked up a little bit. But I remember
Starting point is 00:32:26 being in thrift store, prior to going to drag race and just looking for shit. And I was like, it was like, it spoke to me. Like it glowed. I saw that crochet piece of thing. And remember what Rupal said? Nitter, please. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Rupal said, Nitter, please. That was so funny. She also says about Violet, her clown pussy is on, her clown posse is on fire. Oh, violets, she bested me. Also, she made that in like 15 minutes. She said I didn't bring it ugly dress because I don't own anything like that. Oh, yeah, I don't ever forget.
Starting point is 00:33:00 She was in the workroom. She whipped that thing up in like two hours. From Fabric Planet. Incredible. Yeah. Incredible. But it was so ugly, I didn't want to look at it. You know, I didn't think it was ugly enough.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Is clown ugly? Well, Rainbow is so fucking ugly to me. I guess. I didn't think it was particularly ugly. I mean. I thought I served. I was ugly.com. spokeswoman. But then again, you know, Violet told me that she thinks that I dress like Nina West, so
Starting point is 00:33:24 fuck that hoe with a shovel. I don't give a shit. And I saw a certain article that she was, did you see, she was, she said on her pot about us asking her for a voice note. Who do you think you are? Does you think that was a little crazy? I was like, girl, shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Girl, you don't call me back. Yeah. You don't call me back, ho. An assistant reached out. Yeah. If I want to get to you, I might talk to Gottman. Also, I'm sorry that you're the most, girl, check the stats. I know.
Starting point is 00:33:56 You know what I mean? I know. You would never brag about your position, but that's the truth. We're recapping Drag Race. Sorry for including you. I know. Like, did anybody else make up like a passive, aggressive public statement about being contacted not by us?
Starting point is 00:34:09 I know. They gave us wonderful. But I was like, what the fuck, girl, whatever. They gave us wonderful, long usable clips. And it was one. We had to exhume Max. And she sent us a voice note. That was like 10 minutes long.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Like, like, come on. sent us one from an RV on the edge of a mountain and she hates us openly most of these people probably don't like I just was kind of like oh damn bitch wow well you know she's a stay mad Brenda yeah that's okay I still love her still love her still love her still love her um Raymond's outfit is incredible Raymond RuPaul oh my God Raymond looks amazing as usual it's the graffiti Rue dress fucking great with the Afro with the graffiti Rupal dress
Starting point is 00:34:47 Velvet she the velvet airbrush and then again the fucking makeup the makeup the fucking makeup this tall black bitch just is like she just I mean every time in this season she gets on that runway and every
Starting point is 00:35:05 enforces everybody into suicide she does like it is it is diabolical she looks oh it's crazy it's 60 fucking years old she's a little transcendent she really looks amazing I let's know the best Rupal outfits Matthew fucking fucked her in the ass all night long
Starting point is 00:35:22 And then Zaldi turned her over and fucked her again Also I forgot to talk about my look My dress isn't that ugly My makeup is awful I agree I look awful this entire season And I don't know if I have to keep saying it No you don't have to keep that all the time
Starting point is 00:35:34 You just look like a prototype Because now you're the full Now you're the final boss Can I tell you I think artistically Not to be whatever I don't think I was ready for drag race I'm a couple months after drag race Figured out the tricksy
Starting point is 00:35:48 like I yeah yeah yeah like a couple months later and I remember being like oh I wish I had figured out this big thing then if you had gone with if you like with what you have now like your best looks now going on then would have been a very different story yeah my makeup just screamed like I have an idea but I don't have the skills to execute it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you know because it's a little bit yeah the polish is not there the polish isn't there I mean I mean even when I got there I remember Anastasi Bobby Hill's giving us all that makeup. I mean, I'm also trying to use products I've never used. I don't know what
Starting point is 00:36:22 I'm doing. Makeup-wise, it's awful. It's bad. It's the eyes. The eyes, which is the whole point is not good. No. And especially because Rue's eyes are huge and so well-painted. And she doesn't she's not doing this like subtle shit.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Like in the prancing episode, RuPaul has a lot of makeup on. Her fucking eyes are so giant. I mean, it's like, ugh. Yeah, I just, as a general note, I look awful. I know, and I'm sorry. It's okay. It's okay. Okay. So then, who goes home? It is. It's a... Oh, David Lobato's there.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Oh, Demi Lovano. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who then, I did her Christmas special, like, two years ago. She was super cool and nice. She was funny. Even if the stars in the moon, we get pearl and fame in the bottom. Yeah. What a show-stopping dance-a-dancery. I know. I thought it was me a double. I know. Do you remember it not, do you remember it being just not? It really was a flat-lips Now, baby, I'm a controversial opinion that I maintain, listen, y'all weren't there. No, but we were there.
Starting point is 00:37:25 I think every lip sing is boring. Yeah, they are all. However, this was a absolute shoe in for the Academy Award for most boring lip sing. I mean, Pearl did better than fame for sure. Oh, 100%. I mean, here's the thing. If I would never have, I would never have been intimidated by fame had I known about her because I would have gone on there and like, why are you here?
Starting point is 00:37:48 You're behind the camera girl. Yeah. You're a behind the camera girl. What do you do in front of the camera? Because she's not a performer. Yeah. She's an incredible artist behind the camera. Yeah, I mean, she kind of just had a completely different background than any of us, too.
Starting point is 00:38:06 She was an expert makeup artist. Yeah. And he had access to incredible drag. She didn't know what to do with it, though. Yeah. You know what I mean? And she was gorgeous. No, gorgeous didn't even cover it.
Starting point is 00:38:17 She was like stunning. stunning. But that's it. I mean, I was on drag race with her. You want to talk boopoop-boop-doop? I stood next to her on the runway often. But she can't do anything on the runway. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:38:28 Yeah. Like, no offense. Like, I mean, you know, she's not a performer. She's a model and she's an incredible artist. That's right. Right. I'm sorry. I shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:38:37 You're talking about someone's mother like that. I am. But you know what I mean, though, right? I don't. I thought she was incredible. You ugly bitch. I can't believe you said that about her. I forgot to.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Lovato's there. Spoiler alert, Pearl, Pearl does win. She deserves the win. Yeah. Of the two. And we lose fame. Rividing on this planet, beautiful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:57 What does she say? The Galactic Queen has departed or something crazy. I come and pee. No, she says, the Galactic Queen departs. And then she like, okay. Yeah. No, I forget what her. Shout out to fame.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Love fame. Girl, she was, I love her. I'm all about selling me and people for what they're good at. Am I being hip-grey? That poor is good at good. What she's good at, she's the best at. Dude, are you kidding me? I was lucky enough to be in one of her painted by fame tours.
Starting point is 00:39:21 It was like one of the funnest afternoons of my life. She did not aspire to bump oars with us lip syncing at a gay club. No. You know what I mean? I actually don't know why she did drag race. No, I know. And I remember, I do recall, like, after the season, before it aired, I think. Maybe she was one of the first, she had a lot of buzz around her.
Starting point is 00:39:39 But then it was, she was quickly singled out and scrutinized for her performance abilities or lack thereof. And I think she got a lot of hate and unnecessarily so. But I also think she was one of the first. I think that come, I mean, fame maybe is listening to this, I think when you look like that, people are looking or any way they can say, yeah, but she's. Right. And I'm a hater too. We shouldn't, I mean, she's probably breastfeeding right now.
Starting point is 00:39:58 She's not really listening, but like, you know. She's sucking on someone's TV right now. Yeah. Like, yeah, it's like if I went, I don't know, on a contest for anything. It's like. Oh. I mean, and that's kind of, you know what? We both said things.
Starting point is 00:40:17 It's a tough, tough, tough question. It's so shady when they do it in the beginning. Like on the second day. Somebody said my name both times it was asked this season. You were off camera. Yes. Cunty. No, the first time it was Kennedy in episode one.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Yeah. That was so crazy to ask that question. I mean, episode one, I know. Trixie. See an all stars, bitch. No. And then this episode, Violet says me. Just because she can't say fame.
Starting point is 00:40:44 You know, she hates everybody. Well, she's been, who do you think you are since? they want to be. So it all continues. But they've definitely deserved to go home at this point, I think, objectively. And also, it's funny because up into this point, my perception of her is capital A asshole. Although in the next episode, we'll talk about prans and queens. I really get to love her.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Well, let's get into it right now. So it's the next episode. Top of the episode, we do the post elimination. We just lost Miss Fame. Yeah. RAP. To cancer. Again.
Starting point is 00:41:10 We can say we just lost her. I know. We lost her at the mall. We lost her at Disney World. chewed up in the Matterhorn I wish when you know there's something also so pitiful about standing there
Starting point is 00:41:26 with the statue Between that untucked And the statue this season It's the saddest season What they should have done is like RuPaul's super fond of this expression She's left for Paris when they die That's what you say
Starting point is 00:41:37 She's left for Paris When someone dies She's boarded the Concord to Paris So they should have had us Like get on a fake plane And go to Paris Do you know what I mean? That'd be so cunty.
Starting point is 00:41:47 So you're leaving drag race, but we do have you going to your meeting for global entry. So make sure you have your ID and your birth documents. We have three nights stay comped at the Georges Sank in Paris for you. You are leaving, but we have a table for you at the Wagamama. And can I recommend the vegetable geosa? Steam, not pan fried. So we have the mini challenge, again, is super, super fun. It's the tape face thing.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Yeah. Okay. Can I say what? Fame leaves and we start putting tape on our faces. The ultimate irony is like it's too real. I never got this until now, but I was watching it this morning. And I go, fame leaves and we all start taping our faces. It's so fucking funny.
Starting point is 00:42:36 I think maybe, maybe they didn't, they made it up on the fly. I doubt that. They're not that smart. But like, yeah, it's so hysterical. It's crazy. It's hysterical. So I'd never seen. Housewives at this point.
Starting point is 00:42:46 I don't know what we were. And Pearl has always loved the Housewives, so I know she was in it to win it. Yeah, she loves Housewives. So I just remember being like, they showed us some trailers of the opening of Housewives. Remember they bring out a computer. I don't remember that. Sometimes on Dragores, if you don't know the reference, they'll bring out a computer and go, oh, here's the intro to Herald House is New York.
Starting point is 00:43:05 And they'll let you see what we're doing, but we're parodying. And, um, a year, oh my God, uh, what did Pearl say? I'm, um, I'm not only a slut. I'm an alcoholic. I'm not just a slut. I'm also an alcoholic club. What I wish I would have said, I thought about it right after what he said. I was like, I'm, um, I'm, uh, what is it?
Starting point is 00:43:23 I'm a socialist, a sociopath. No, I'm a socialite, a socialist, and a sociopath, or something like that. I think that would be fun. You ended up saying, um, some weird long thing. No, it was like, the best thing about being in an abusive marriage is the threat of danger keeps me so thin. Yeah, a little dark. Your face tape was nuts, girl. I love that.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Again, you look. I thrive. Violet looked like Kelly Mantle I know and you said it Kelly Listen I'm sure Kelly Listen Kelly is like a 21-year Look like me
Starting point is 00:43:52 Great Yeah I mean I was so uncomfortable She had one piece of tape On her neck Do remember how bad that hurt our faces I don't actually We were stuck like that for a while
Starting point is 00:44:05 Damn It hurt I loved that One of my eyes was taped closed Yeah you looked like You got beat with the ice Fan of the opera I don't know what was going on
Starting point is 00:44:14 I looked crazy It was fun, though. That was a really fun mini challenge. I believe the winner is... Violet. Violet. Good for her. Yeah, and then she just picks everybody, which is a great strategy. She just goes, whoever's right next to each other.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Love that. To wash your hands of the drama. Seriously, it's a great move. Don't overthink it. Just brop. Right. There we go. Also, I'm kind of flattered that she picked me.
Starting point is 00:44:33 I don't know. Because as assholeish as she was, she was so clearly talented and confident. I thought this was a very good challenge. Kim Johnson from Dancing with the Stars. Kim Johnson completely forgot that she's there She's fabulous She's really great Our second Aussie of the season
Starting point is 00:44:48 Because we have Olivia Newton John Oh that's right We're getting all the Aussies Yeah and she's like Hilar Hilari Yeah So we do the Tangar We get paired up
Starting point is 00:44:57 You guys get Tango Vogue Tango Bogg You guys get country robot And Pearl And Charleston Twerk Yeah So we come out And this real little dance floor
Starting point is 00:45:07 And we start learning our things You say you're not a dancer But you Spoiler alert You end up doing amazing. Well, here's the fucking thing about it. So none of this made it. So there's
Starting point is 00:45:19 a lot of fun, interesting behind the scenes to you about this episode. This is the first time we learned that Rupal has legs. Right. I'm telling you, we have never when she was in this room and they brought us in one by one and Rupal was in a blank like a hospital bed and the nurse would pull back
Starting point is 00:45:35 the legs and they would kind of hold my jaw and make me look at it because I wanted to look away. And it was all exposed bone with maggots and they were twisted up. They were twisted up and kind of rage up, you know? They're like, so Rupal has spinal meningitis. And you have to leave her for dead. She's going to ask for you to save her.
Starting point is 00:45:55 You got to leave the room. No, it was chilling. I remember like 25 minutes had gone by. And I remember being like, am I? And they said no. So I have to keep looking. And then. Then.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Then. then RuPaul says I don't like it So they hand me a bottle Of Essie nail polish And I have to change the toenail color To bubble bath And I'm sitting there
Starting point is 00:46:23 And then I remember I left And right before I walked in the same Like oh she was gone Right before I walked in Violet was leaving She was sobbing Yeah Right It was so it was a tough day for legs
Starting point is 00:46:33 And all the tattoos Like some of them kind of you know No so we're on the We're practicing our thing And RuPaul on the performance day, of course. Rupal's in the, she walks in the frame, and I see her in this tiny little
Starting point is 00:46:46 cha-cha dress with her fucking seven-foot legs. I was like, holy shit, that's the first. But this was so... Why did we see her? We saw her somewhere. She came out onto the floor for some reason. I don't know why. We saw Rupol and drag standing up,
Starting point is 00:47:00 which had never happened to this point. Never, never, never, never. I had not so... Mama, return of the black finger away with. It's weird that her knees went backward. Do you know what I mean? Like a raptor? Or the ostrich, yes.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Yes, and it's weird that she crab walked everywhere. It's a raptor. She can open doors. Right. Clever girl. You know, that's how Rupal got in there. Clever girl. They locked it.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Clever girl. So, do you have any feeling? I remember thinking country robot was like, sure. Tango Bogus. I mean, watching it, you guys had the best number. I think, yeah. I think we had, we definitely. Country Robot is fucking corny.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Corny. Also, stupid. Charleston Twerk was amazing. I think Charleston Twerk was the best mashup. I thought yours was the best. No, no, yeah, I think it was great. But I think if anybody was going to slam dunk it, it's such a, it's such a, it's such a, what do you call that? The dichotomy.
Starting point is 00:48:04 It's like so diametrically opposed. Right. It's such a great combo. Country Robot was that too, but like. Country dancing and drag. The robot's not a dance. The robot is not a dance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:15 It's just a stupid thing. And Ginger did the robot, she looks like a Roomba. Yeah. And also country, like, no offense, but like that aesthetic. Okay, well, I don't feel that way. But I have a lot of issues with this challenge. One of them being, I should have spoke up and said, I can't be lifting Ginger Minge. I love Ginger.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I think I felt nervous to speak up. I drop her. Yeah. I drop her. to drop a 70-year-old woman. She's a butterball. I mean, what are you going to do? I drop her on my lap,
Starting point is 00:48:45 but I remember feeling bad. But I didn't want to say no. You want to be a team player. Right, right, right. And I could tell Ginger's even nervous about me grabbing her. Also, because she's not a dancer. She's not a dancer. Which can I say this?
Starting point is 00:48:55 I took this note. I learned this in college. The second, my dance teacher told me, Darcy Woods, Darcy Woods, my jazz teacher. The second you say that you're not a dancer, it's over. You will not dance.
Starting point is 00:49:06 It's over. Yeah. And when you go to auditions and stuff, it's not really anyone's business. that how much you do or don't dance. It's like, of course I do. You speak Mandarin? Wang.
Starting point is 00:49:16 And also, Ginger's starting from a place of defeated. Looking back, I'm like, I don't like that. Also, you're literally no part of the expression. You're heavy weight. You're dragging people down. Right. And I'm not a professional dancer,
Starting point is 00:49:28 but we can do this. Girl, by stark contrast, what do you think, you do think Violet walked into that with it? She was like, of course I can. Mary, I invented this challenge. Right. I actually gave birth to you.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Right. I own your birth certificate. you Australian bitch. Right. You know, like, so Ginger and I try to make the best of it.
Starting point is 00:49:44 But I just remember her feeling very defeated. And also I would have hated to have your combo. I hated our song. You know, I'm lifting her off a hay bale. At what,
Starting point is 00:49:53 at what point does the cut factor enter the chat? I know. Where's the wagon wheel? How about wagon wheel Watousie? How about wagon wheel Watusi? Yeah. Did prancing with the queens.
Starting point is 00:50:02 And we were in our rehearsal and everything was going fine. And you picked me up and it's like something wasn't right. and you dropped me and I landed on your foot and we couldn't even rehearse
Starting point is 00:50:15 like the other girls did because we had to like go to the medic they had to pull us both aside I forgot about that you went to the medic and then you had to be like cleared and checked out
Starting point is 00:50:26 before we could get back to a wring in an iron lung didn't even have nearly as much time as everybody else did to kind of pull it together I'm still proud of what we did excuses excuses excuses I liked it I thought we did as best as we could
Starting point is 00:50:38 with um country robot like what the fuck even is that thank you but uh i have great memories i really don't i have good memories of it too honestly and maybe it's because ginger had been there the whole time uh-huh so maybe also she was like on the straight shot to win i felt like right so for me to be for her to be like i can't do this at the time i guess i was like girl well we're in this together yeah yeah yeah not a great by the way they also had an announcer being judge as pairs She came out of nowhere But That was a curve
Starting point is 00:51:09 But that was a little I was a blow Below the belt It was a little special But I remember just being like Well Ginger we have to do this anyway So like I Now looking back
Starting point is 00:51:20 I'm like she was probably fucking tired She's tired of it Yeah You know Yeah Yeah I forgot she stepped on my foot And I had to ice it We couldn't rehearse
Starting point is 00:51:28 And also girls she When I was watching this morning She's like I hadn't slept all night Guess who hadn't slept A wink all night either Yeah And that's, I remember, I remember very vividly, not only was it for the return of the fucking black wig that won't go away.
Starting point is 00:51:43 I wrote it down. Your Frederick Douglass wig? Mary, my 3499. Your freedom, freedom writer wig? My 3499, Josephine Baker, Dorothy's boutique wig that has made, has graced the episode for the fifth or six time. Why did you get to drag race and say, never wore a black wig in my life? I am a short finger wave black wig diva. My name is Sophie Tucker.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I was born in 1880 and I got my start in the roaring 20s. During Prohibition, I was, you know, working in bad houses. Yeah, bathtub gin was my specialty and doing the Charleston,
Starting point is 00:52:20 whatever. It sounds like, have you ever hear those really dirty old school songs that are like, he's my pussy baby, he's it all night long, you'd be one of those artists who sings those nasty songs. But this was the only time it was actually apropos or like
Starting point is 00:52:34 appropriate to wear so I was like thank God I have that I did not much hair I did and I did not sleep you know what I didn't sleep a wink
Starting point is 00:52:41 and this is the stupidest reason why I was so I did not know how I was going to attach it to my head how did you do it so I put so much fucking gel
Starting point is 00:52:52 in my hair which I had some at that point and then fucking so my head became a helmet right like of hair and then I
Starting point is 00:53:01 I dug so many hair long roller pins through it. And it hurts so bad. It hurts so bad. You couldn't rip that hair off of me. It was like sealed onto the, and it hurts so bad. It gave me such a fucking headache. And I hadn't slept at all.
Starting point is 00:53:19 And when you know I haven't slept at all and you just did a whole cute, like long day of physical like activity, your body's like overtired in starting to cramp everywhere. And I'd been chain smoking. 20 cigarettes a day. Right. During the rehearsal, or no, during the first run through, because we did it twice for camera,
Starting point is 00:53:37 I almost had a heart attack. I'm like, that's not an exaggeration. I was like, I think people started to like get a little scared because I was like so out of breath and I thought I was going to faint. Why are you trying to one up my foot event? Because this. You're like, you went to the ICU. They flew me out of there in a copter.
Starting point is 00:53:52 No, no. No, but I actually got worried for myself. And RuPaul was watching the whole thing. She was there the whole time. She watched all of our lunthers. And you looked over and she showed the leg again. I better pull it together. The rotting maggot.
Starting point is 00:54:04 I know. She showed the leg. She said, whore. No, but it was like, I remember being very miserable. I had a horrible time. And we had to do the outfits.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Right. We had to sew those fucking outfits on those shitty soxedos. They never told it. They never talked about this in the episode. We had to make the outfits. Yes. Part of the challenge was making the outfits. They really glossed over that in the whole.
Starting point is 00:54:25 They don't talk about it. No, baby. They give us the only nasty polyester fucking tuxedo that we have to create a whole other look for and it was difficult. I made that fucking half dress. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:38 And also I give Kennedy huge props for her little car wash number. I thought she can't sew at all. Are you out of your mind? Yes, I am. That's the worst look of all of them. Shreds of fabric. It worked.
Starting point is 00:54:50 It worked for the number. It was just a weird fringe thing. That bitch can't sew at all. She went to drag race not knowing how to sew and we're supposed to say good job with the glue out of your mind that was the worst outfit of the day was it yeah I guess
Starting point is 00:55:09 the car wash maybe because I just I just joined like I got a membership of this car wash on sunset and I love when they do the thingies the best outfit was violets yeah violets was like wow I wish that was a full outfit it was amazing I didn't like the mustache a lot you looked great I thought it looked good yeah
Starting point is 00:55:26 you look so handsome the blonde half well because I you know what I just stippled in a fucking beard. So weird. Are he the witness protection program? My name is Jeremy. I look awful. I'm not saying my...
Starting point is 00:55:35 No, I have no offense, but you do. I do look awful. You do look awful. And you did that, you do the thing that I hate on drag race with the mugging on the runway. Oof. Yeah, I don't like the pantomime name. I hate Ginger's outfit too. God love her.
Starting point is 00:55:48 She looked horrible. Yeah. I hate Kennedys. I hate mine. I hate Ginger's. You guys should have been thrown in the dunk tank. Yeah. Who else was it?
Starting point is 00:55:57 Pearl and Kennedy were very cute. and there is what there I remember I watched watching it this morning I was like oh their number is charming it's bad Pearl's terrible but it was so charming yeah oh for sure it was charming you honestly I thought we did great you and Violet were the best I think we did great yeah and I deserve the win of course shocked I thought I was going home like usual fucking you and Violet were the best yeah and we won yeah oh yeah you won the challenge we won the challenge um the bottom it ends up being me and ginger and that kind of suck because I was like I could levitate I'm going to go home like Ginger's been here the whole time.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Luckily, it's Show Me Love, which obviously was a perfect song for me. But that song plays so often everywhere that whatever trauma you have for your lip sync song. I forget that I lip synced that on Drag Race even. Oh, Roar, same. I don't remember. Dreaming when I hear it, I'm always like, oh, this is Drag Race. Or when I won All Stars, it was Recking Ball. So whenever I hear that, I'm like, oh, this is my $100,000 song.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Oh, God, I don't remember associate any of them with Drag. Yeah, but show me love. I also was like, oh, this is break my soul. Forgot, of course, you know. And Ginger was very downtrodden. And maybe Beyonce got the idea from watching Ginger on drag race. Maybe. I think certainly.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You won't break my soul. That biter. Right. Yeah. Famous bider. I go home again.
Starting point is 00:57:17 I remember being like, ugh, whatever. Because I remember being mad. I remember being mad we were judged as doubles. It was shenanigan, Tom, foolery, rigory. I remember being like. It was rigory. I mean, it probably still should have been me. I was, it's not like I was amazing, but I don't know because Ginger did the absolute worst that day.
Starting point is 00:57:37 But Ginger was really good all season. So I probably should have been me. It doesn't matter. But still. It's not a cumulative judgment. But that's how I feel about people who come back should be able to win. Well, right. I guess in that sense, I do agree with you.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Because like, remember when, oh, I guess this is just different. Like, what if Violet went home and came back after missing two episodes, but she was really good? She should be able to win. Yeah. And then she would have to endure comments for the rest of her career that you should know when you were gone to episodes. Well, that's like when the win is split. Oh, God. You know, Kennedy and I filmed a tie for All Stars and I was like, I would have hated that.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Girl, I had to do. I dressed up as you for that. I would have rather lost. I had dressed up as you for that time that Monet and, what the fuck? Monet and Trinity did the split. And I saw the look on Trinity's face. She wasn't living. Mama, no, she wasn't mad.
Starting point is 00:58:25 And I wouldn't have either. I would not have either I was like They both got a hundred thousand Kennedy and I were gonna get half No it's not about the money It's not about the money It's not the money though
Starting point is 00:58:34 It's not the money you don't do it about money You do it for the money you make afterwards But like Trini was like It was like It was like It was like crazy I get that
Starting point is 00:58:49 I mean I would have been like Do we rock paper scissors now Like what the fuck? I would have I don't know I don't know I mean, when I won, when I won, I remember thinking this is, this is going to primarily be about how De La left and Shangela didn't make it to top two.
Starting point is 00:59:05 But imagine like, winning, it was winning, but very like. But like if we won, I mean, bizarre a world, bizarre world. If I shared a win with you, I'd be like, that's amazing. That would be incredible. On season seven? No, I mean, imagine an alternate universe, like, where we both did amazing. And we were friends on the show. And we got the first co-win.
Starting point is 00:59:24 friends. It was incredible. That would be like, we would be unstoppable. Yeah. You know, would you do a version of All-Stars with partners?
Starting point is 00:59:32 No, because I hate working with people. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? People, when they do like, drag race, BF edition, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:59:40 I don't really want to do that. No, because it's not, I don't like that. If I'm going to make mistakes, I want to be responsible for them. I don't want to bring anybody down. You know what I mean? That's how I feel.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Yeah, I don't. And that's, I guess, my issue with it being judged as a pair. I was like, what the fuck is this, girl? and in the edit we're not going to mention we had to make these outfits like Girl bye
Starting point is 00:59:58 No shit because I am a seamstress but I'm not great And also I need a lot of time And those machines were horrible I had a very difficult time And it ate up a lot of You know time in like Whatever Yeah and I hate would have could have showed up
Starting point is 01:00:14 I would have smoked that hello kitty shit Oh baby It's one of the only things that probably would have been good at I know Tell me why I thought Katie Perry was coming out What are you talking about? when they introduced the whole thing and the Hello Kitty character came out
Starting point is 01:00:28 in the beginning of the episode. I know, I thought it was Katie Perry. I haven't watched it yet. I thought we're supposed to talk about it. Talk about it next episode. No. Oh, really? Two today.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Oh. I thought we talked about Hello Kitty today. I'm excited for Hello Kitty. I have not watched that. I have not watched that since the first time. Yeah, I have a lot of fun things to talk about. They didn't make that edit. I'm excited to see it.
Starting point is 01:00:50 So yeah, shout out to me. I lost again. You lost again. Did you go home and disgrace. or were you happy to be released? I was actually grateful I got to do it again and honestly
Starting point is 01:00:59 I'm talking about me then I didn't feel like I should have went forth when I went and I wasn't thrilled about it going the second time I thought it was a great justice that you get to come back
Starting point is 01:01:11 but I was happy I got to come back yeah and also our broke asses were happy for another $400 check baby girl boop me going home from Drag Race feeling rich in the red
