How do we feel about this?
MARCIA MARCIA MARCIA:It’s truly the greatest honor of my career.
You began this episodenotsafe fromSalina’s strategizing, after she stoleMistressaway from your team and left you by yourself.
Did anyone attempt to help or coach you through writing jokes?
If I was Salina, it’s what I would’ve done.
Mistress is hilarious and she knows how to getRuPaul.
She knows how to make her laugh.
Anybody who’s in the competition would’ve been like, yeah, I’ll take Mistress.
What suggestions did she make?
Anetra decided the order of the show.
We didn’t see her deliberation.
Did anyone including you attempt to sway her to get the placement they wanted?
I think we all trusted Anetra to make the right decisions.
In hindsight, do you think you would’ve advocated for a different place?
You opened the stand-up show, and it looked like the reception was a little cold.
From what I remember, the crowd was receptive and warm.
I was like, “Is that awful?”
and she was like, “No, that was safe.
It was solid.”
Did you have any jokes you remember writing that you didn’t perform?
Michelle pointed out that Loosey had a similar runway a few weeks ago.
When Michelle [said that], it’s like, well, when would I have done that?
Did you and Loosey, after her runway, discuss that you had a similar look coming up?
I hoped it would be more than, what, two weeks later?
And no one would remember?
That’s what I was gunning on.
It’s no biggie.
I like the look a lot, I think it’s fun and goofy.
I don’t really understand what she means by a bag of carpets.
But also, you know, we all struggle with outfits from time to time.
Everyone has different aesthetics.
It didn’t feel like something I could’ve possibly done.
I didn’t really know what to do with it, so I just went elegant.
This lip-sync is my favorite of the season.
I think it’ll go down as one of the all-time greatDrag Racelip-syncs.
Was it all improvised?
It was entirely improvised.
In those moments, you’re blacked out, doing whatever it’s possible for you to.
Can you explain how you honed that energy with Anetra on stage?
My favorite lip-syncs in theDrag Racecanon are ones where the queens are working together.
Getting to do it with her was an honor and a privilege.
It’s up there with Brooke and Yvie as one of the best.
I definitely knew it was going well.
Ali Wong was losing her mind.
The whole judges panel was screaming.
We’ve seen lip-syncs onDrag Racego from straightforward to reveal-heavy to minimal again.
The skirt, I could just take it off and it was a little unitard.
