00:00You know, this is season 17, Drag Race is such an institution now, all over the world, so many spinoffs, but even knowing what you know about the show, what surprised you the most when you actually got there?
00:12Wow, I think how hard it is. You know, like, I didn't know it was going to be so hard, and I feel like it's like, like, we all do drag part-time or full-time outside of the show.
00:25Coming into the show, it's like drag boot camp. It's like drag two-a-days. It is longer. It is more intense, and it's not easy as it looks. I think that was the biggest surprise for me.
00:39Yeah, I would say for me, when it's called RuPaul's Drag Race, I didn't realize that that is so accurate, that it's so fast. Like, you don't have time to think, really.
00:50Your first idea is your only idea, because there's no time to think for the second idea.
00:55So, like she said, it seems so easy, and I was definitely the girl who sat at home and read everybody down and was like, girl, why would you do that?
01:04But now doing it, I get it. So everybody at home, I'm sorry for reading, y'all. The former girls, I get it now.
01:11It was very hard.
01:13When you go back to your hotel, you know, at night after the workroom, is there any hanging out, or is it just, like, straight to bed?
01:19Should we reveal our secret?
01:22I don't know if we can.
01:24I personally am a sleeper, so anytime I get time to sleep, trust me, I'm going to be sleeping.
01:30Well, I was going to say our secret is that Anya and I were actually paired together to go to the pool and have our, like, recreational time.
01:39So, Anya and I spent lots of time together, and I'm so proud that the pool girls made it all the way to the end.
01:45Full circle moment.
01:45I mean, fabulous, honey.
