Speaking of. This is the franchise’s first all-drag judging panel. Was it your idea to have Priyanka and Jimbo be part of the season?
Absolutely not. No, it was Trevor’s idea, our showrunner, but I was very enthusiastic about it. I thought, I think it’s a great idea. I think it makes sense. I think it’s what the fans want. They want to see that twist. So, I think it was brilliant, and we had such a great time.
Important question: Was there a group chat about what you guys were wearing?
No. There was a group chat, just not about what we were wearing, that’s why I always look the best [laughs]. We did have a group chat, and it was really fun. Like, literally after every episode, I would get a text from one of them in the chat going, like, “Oh my God, this is so hard.” And I was like, “Yes! You see.” So that was really nice.
Also, they did such a great job, and they were so enthusiastic and excited to be there. Just thrilled to be a part of it, and energy creates energy, so their energy was giving me even more energy, because I was, like, coming in with my cane, like, “There we go again,” and then this new fresh energy brought me back up, it was awesome.
