I’m hoping you’ll have some tea for me:Viv, who f—ed Monet?
You have no idea who it is among the cast?
Listen, Monet loves f—ingwithpeople.

I think she’s lying through her teeth.
I mean, who’s going to f— Monet?
Once and for all: Was real strategy discussed in the Smokers Alliance?
The Vivienne blocks Monét X Change on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 7’.World of Wonder
It’s not really an alliance, we just all happen to smoke.
It was the place to be, though.
We were the cool girls.
There was so much going on that I can’t even tell you about.
Oh, f— it, we filmed it now.
The Smokers Alliance was a secretsmugglingalliance?
There was a Smokers Alliance, a Drinkers Alliance, all sorts of alliances.
There was nothing to it, the alliance didn’tdoanything, we just smoked and gossiped.
Speculation started when Jaida gave you the xylophone during the lip-sync against Jinkx.
How did you decide on Jaida being the one to give it to you?
I [asked Jaida] to hand it to me at the right time.
She did, and she took it home with her.
She stole my xylophone and my tambourine!
Sometimes she’ll just FaceTime me, play the tambourine, and put the phone down.
You’re the queen of pulling things out in lip-syncs this season.
I set it off stage somewhere, I hid it just in case I was in the lip-sync.
I thought the lip-sync was good by my standard.
I’m now part of the crunchy cartwheel club.
I’m proud of that.
Yes, we also saw Jinkx do a cartwheel and everyone looked shocked when she did hers.
Speaking of sabotage: I’m also seeing thisvideo going around where you headbutted Jinkx?
Miss Viv, what is going on here?
The fans are insane.
They’re like, how could Viv headbutt Jinkx?
Read the caption, we’re literally doing an acting challenge.
It looked good though.
Let’s go back to the competition.
Was there secret strategy to that decision?
I didn’t have any conversations.
I wasn’t part of anyone’s alliance.
I probably would’ve said no, because alliances are not a great place to be.
Even I gasped when I blocked Monet, like,whydid you do that?
So you had no idea that they were sneaking off?
Monet made her feelings way too vocal, way too early on.
She was like, “I’m in an alliance!”
and it’s like, f— off!
Did you ask them why they didn’t ask you?
No, I haven’t.
I’m not that bothered.
I don’t need an alliance.
[Laughs]
What was the vibe like in the room for last week’s roast?
When she just does Jaida, she pulled it back.
It was so much fun, it felt like a load of friends sat there roasting each other….
I got to get Ru cackling.
Filming for that long, obviously not everything can fit.
Do you remember jokes you wrote down, but didn’t say?
Jaida was screaming at that.
This week, it was sweet seeing you cry at Monet’s opera.
She sang live, right?
She went out there and blasted it out….
When she did a mic check, the judges’ mouths hit the desk.
It was game over for us at that sound check.
Did you have any other ideas you thought about doing before you landed on your song?
It just wouldn’t have worked.
What went through your mind at that point?
I just burst into tears.
It felt like a punch in the gut.
Good for them, but, as a queen stood there, it’s hard to go through.
What can you say about what’s ahead?
Let’s just say, maybe all isn’t lost.
