The cast of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ performs the ‘Wizard of Oz’ Rusical.MTV
[Laughs] I went to Monets live show, so Im a supporter and I love her.
Dont hate me, just!
Did theWizard of Oz-themed Rusical challenge ruinWizard of OzorWickedfor you?
Were you able to still seeWickedin theaters?
It took me a bit to get into that theater to seeWicked.
Ive always hatedWizard of Oz….
It just creeps me out.
I dont like it.
I dont think it dampens the wholeWickedside.
But,Wizard of Oz, it just furthered my terror.
You fought with Suzie for the lead Rusical role.
You said in a confessional that you were angry over that.
Did any emotions from that linger and impact your performance?
I definitely think it affected my performance, because Im a bitter bitch.
I have Arnold Schwarzenegger-level muscles when it comes to holding a grudge.
Theres nothing I like to do more than hold a grudge, but it brings me down.
I couldnt let it go and it hindered me.
You and Suzie are okay now?
Were all good now.
She knows what she did!
[Laughs]
Did you feel in the moment that your performance wasnt good in the judges eyes?
Who do you think shouldve been in the bottom over you?
I knew I wasnt doinggreat, but I didnt think I was doingbad, necessarily.
Rusical week was specifically hard because everyone was doing a great job.
I think Kori and Lydia shouldve been in the bottom because I think they did worse than me.
So why was I in the bottom?
Because not all these outfits were amazing, not all of these performances were amazing.
Kori and Lydia also had a romance reveal this episode.
Did the cast clock this on set?
I cant tell if its a bit or not.
We always had a feeling, but also a kernel of doubt.
Then why are you guys basically making out in the corner?
Clearly, something is happening.
There was nothing overt on set?
They were very flirtatious.
But, so wereArriettyandLucky Starzzz.
You opened up on this episode about cystic fibrosis.
Its something Ive never talked about.
Ive hated talking about it.
