Thanks in no small part, she says, by “some scheming going on” behind the scenes.

Were you actually kind of mad?
ANGERIA PARIS VANMICHEALS:I wasnt mad.
If anything, I knew [everyone wanted] to block me, but I genuinely hoped they wouldnt.

It sucked in the moment, but I wasnt upset.
Lets say you won episode 2. Who would you have blocked?
Going into episode 3, I wouldve blocked Nina West for sure.
I completely agree with Jorgeous.
Honey, I see the strategy and logic.
We did design and performance.Drag Raceis all about comedy and acting, so something has to be coming soon.
I wouldnt have taken that chance.
Lets talk aboutSnatch Game.
The energy was so much different, also because Id already doneSnatch Game.
Were going to listen to Mama.
I wanted that reaction from her, and I felt that while I was doing it.
You also had that damn giant purse.
It made me laugh every time I saw it.
What did you have in that purse besides the leftovers?
Thats all that was in the purse.
You saw how big the thing with the leftovers was!
I needed some kind of plate or prop.
Thats what I was able to get my hands on, and it happened to be that big.
That was just a big tote bag.
Thats all that was in that bag, was my leftovers.
It was neck bones, collard greens, mac and cheese, a little bit of cornbread.
Now, you know nothing was in there [Laughs] I catered the staff that day for lunch!
Were there any otherSnatch Gamecharacters you considered doing before landing on Marla?
I didnt bring a backup this time.
Had Ru not liked it or that I shouldnt have done it, it wouldve crushed me.
Nina andShannelcame in with the same character.
Who was the better Liberace?
In my opinion, I agreed with the judges that Nina was the better Liberace.
That comes with the fact that it was also Shannels first actualSnatch Game.
I thought for sure one of them would back down.
Yeah, because Nina had backups!
I think it was another lady.
I think she was just so set, you could tell that Liberace was her first choice….
I imagine it would feel weird to switch to your backup.
Speaking of Nina and Shannel, they each said theyd give a badge to the other if they won.
Later,Roxxxy AndrewspulledPlastique Tiaraaside and said she felt that Nina and Shannel were in an alliance.
Plastique also said she felt like Nina played the game in a sneaky way.
Is there more to the story?
I didnt think that.
I was so unaware of the conspiracy theories floating around the Werk Room.
Me and Jorgeous were out of the loop for a little bit.
Youll see how it unfolds.
Just know, a bomb has gone off.
Im just focusing on trying not to be on the cutting block.
Its for charity, but there is definitely some scheming going on.
Is Roxxxy the secret game master?
Oh honey, three times in the game?
you’re free to obviously tell that Roxxxy knows how to play the game calledDrag Race.
She pays attention to every single thing.
Were only on episode 3 and its already getting tense over blocking.
Is this just the beginning?
When you eliminate someone, guess what?
Until the reunion, thats not going to happen.
