Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload the podcast last week Their Life.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to TV Reload My Dame's Benjamin Norris and
Speaker 2: on this podcast, I go behind the scenes with the
Speaker 2: biggest players in television. Each episode you will get a
Speaker 2: front row seat with content makers like executive producers, writers, editors,
Speaker 2: and casting agents, plus the talent that we all see
Speaker 2: on our screen. TV Reload reloads the shows that you
Speaker 2: are currently watching and gives you a better insight into
Speaker 2: our television industry and our streaming services. Today. On the podcast,
Speaker 2: I have a feisty yet confident Ozzie Queen from RuPaul's
Speaker 2: Drag Race Down Under Us Series two. Today's guest is
Speaker 2: Beverly Kills. From day one, she was in it to
Speaker 2: win it, and she was certainly not taking any prisoners.
Speaker 2: The rest of the Queen's did at times seem to
Speaker 2: struggle with Bev's uber confidence, and some would say she
Speaker 2: was the least self aware, while others could see her
Speaker 2: take on the competition to be well just competitive. There
Speaker 2: was plenty of screen time for Bev, and with no
Speaker 2: eyebrows and an undeniable pretty face, fans of the show
Speaker 2: could not argue that producers had struck gold with her
Speaker 2: casting on the second series of down Under. It all
Speaker 2: seemed to come to her head with the numbers down
Speaker 2: to five and a few strong words from her fellow
Speaker 2: Queen's who unanimously felt it was Bev's time to go.
Speaker 2: We will talk about her confidence or false confidence, depends.
Speaker 3: On who you talk to.
Speaker 2: If RuPaul taught her some life lessons and what about
Speaker 2: that final lip sync? Was she intimidated by Queen Kong?
Speaker 2: And how she feels about her co stars. Now, however,
Speaker 2: let's get started with today's guest. I'd like to welcome
Speaker 2: Beverly Kills from RuPaul's Drag Race down Under season two
Speaker 2: to TV reload.
Speaker 1: The cooking at drag Race now as well? Is that
Speaker 1: the audience gets it.
Speaker 3: Hurry up next, it's Beverly Killed.
Speaker 1: You are stronger than that voice and it will never
Speaker 1: go What happened when you got someone to the character?
Speaker 1: That's kind of.
Speaker 2: Wasn't that funny?
Speaker 1: I don't think that we had the bite to communicator
Speaker 1: empathy to each other. Beverly Kills.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, my DearS, but you are both up for elimination.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to do a live reaction recap of
Speaker 1: Muriel's wedding.
Speaker 2: Thank you for sharing your heart and your love of
Speaker 2: drag with the world.
Speaker 1: There was something in me that was like, I'm not
Speaker 1: surviving this, but what I can do is make Queen
Speaker 1: Kong Earnhus.
Speaker 3: Spot Hi Beverly Kills. How the hell are you?
Speaker 1: You know what? I have a bullet wound prosthetic on
Speaker 1: my head and I'm in full enough drag at eleven
Speaker 1: forty five am so I've had better days, but it
Speaker 1: alls had worse.
Speaker 3: Do the words top and five sound good to you.
Speaker 1: I'll take it like I'd love top four or top three,
Speaker 1: but better than top ten. I'll take five, you know, like,
Speaker 1: And also it's top five out of not just the ten,
Speaker 1: it's top five out of everyone who applied. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that they keep coming back to.
Speaker 1: So whenever I'm like, you know, people see the negative
Speaker 1: self talk on the show, especially in this episode, but like,
Speaker 1: whenever that voice pops in, I'm like, no, stop your
Speaker 1: Beverly Kills. The top fivee of Drag Race down Under.
Speaker 1: You can do.
Speaker 2: Anything, absolutely, you know. Your relationship with RuPaul was great television.
Speaker 2: He seemed like he really cared about your journey. Is
Speaker 2: that TV magic or have you walked away with some
Speaker 2: good advice from RuPaul?
Speaker 1: I think the best advice. I'm so glad it got
Speaker 1: aired because I really wanted everyone else to see that
Speaker 1: as well. And it was on the Snatch Game episode
Speaker 1: where I got a bit upset on stage and he
Speaker 1: was like, I remember that when he first started talking.
Speaker 1: I was like what because I was like, like cried
Speaker 1: for my makeup and I could feel my contact like
Speaker 1: slowly dislodging, and I'm like, what the fuck do you
Speaker 1: want RuPaul like, and he's like, that negative voice will
Speaker 1: never go away. And I thought he was just gonna stop,
Speaker 1: and I was like, thanks, fuck you too, but then
Speaker 1: he was like, you are stronger than that voice and
Speaker 1: it will never go So just no, life is shit.
Speaker 1: All you can do is just move forward. And I
Speaker 1: was like, huh. The most successful drag queen in the
Speaker 1: world does have some good points, interesting very well deserved,
Speaker 1: and I like he's just earned that and he just rude.
Speaker 1: Just that's it, and that's why he's rue Paul, because
Speaker 1: he can understand here's this clever, quiet empathy and get
Speaker 1: he just everything he sees he gets it, but he
Speaker 1: doesn't need to sit you down and tell you. All
Speaker 1: he can do is just drop a bye to wisdom.
Speaker 1: And in that moment when RuPaul said that to me,
Speaker 1: it was like just clarity. It was brilliant.
Speaker 3: Well when he.
Speaker 2: Sort of said that, he still didn't really know who
Speaker 2: you were. And then later on he sort of made
Speaker 2: a comment saying, do you think that being such a
Speaker 2: good looking kid has maybe held you back in some way?
Speaker 2: So I wondered whether or not being such a gorgeous
Speaker 2: kid your whole life that has held you back in
Speaker 2: any way?
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 1: The first of all, thank you for the compliment, RuPaul,
Speaker 1: I am taken. I think RuPaul is too, so that
Speaker 1: might make it a bit weird.
Speaker 3: But like, I don't think he was sitting. I don't
Speaker 3: think that's where it was going.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, he can have two Australian husbands if
Speaker 1: he wants. But I don't know. I've never never been
Speaker 1: shy being vulnerable or wearing my heart on my sleeve.
Speaker 2: I felt like you had the most amount of screen
Speaker 2: time this season. I've felt like and you know what.
Speaker 1: I finished that season and watching the first episode knowing
Speaker 1: I was safe episode two. Knowing I was safe, they
Speaker 1: did not let me off the camera, and I did
Speaker 1: not think I was like the main subject. I couldn't
Speaker 1: fucking rest every episode on screen talking and I'm like,
Speaker 1: give Bev a break, like, leave me alone.
Speaker 2: Have you been happy with the way in which you
Speaker 2: came across them? I mean, some great pieces to camera
Speaker 2: and you were always in the drama.
Speaker 1: Was I happy in the moment? No, but I look
Speaker 1: back on it and it's harmless in the moment. I
Speaker 1: remember when the premiere happened, and you know this, You've
Speaker 1: done reality TV, and I think most of the audience
Speaker 1: and the good thing that drag Race now as well,
Speaker 1: is that the audience gets it. They understand the edits.
Speaker 1: They understand that every single argument, agreement, success and failure
Speaker 1: has context. So having that first episode of me literally
Speaker 1: lining up the girls and insulting each of their outfits
Speaker 1: one by one, they could have done that with anyone.
Speaker 1: And so when that happened, I remember I was in
Speaker 1: my premiere outfit and I just like, you know that
Speaker 1: gift of Homer going into the bushes is that's what
Speaker 1: I felt like, not me, but I had like three
Speaker 1: people online message me. I read the comments guilty is
Speaker 1: charged on her three people, Max be like, I think
Speaker 1: you should have done that, you had more respect for
Speaker 1: the other queens. And then but I look back on
Speaker 1: that and I'm like, that's fucking hilarious, like serious, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's all good. Like the
Speaker 1: fans have they've loved my highs and they have related
Speaker 1: to my lows, and I think that's all I can
Speaker 1: ask for.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: A conversation that has come up a few times from
Speaker 2: viewers and other eliminated queens is where does Beverly Kills
Speaker 2: get her confidence from?
Speaker 1: I am a drag queen. I played dresser as a
Speaker 1: living It's confidence of the drag, right, Like people use
Speaker 1: the word fake a lot or like false confidence, and
Speaker 1: I'm like Jesus Christ, like if I walk into a
Speaker 1: booking meek and shy, that's a bit awkward. You need
Speaker 1: to walk in with that with that confidence. Was some
Speaker 1: of it false? Yeah, of course it was because I
Speaker 1: wanted to push myself to do really well. Was some
Speaker 1: of it warranted? Yeah, it was because I thought I
Speaker 1: deserved it or did the best. Again, it's just it's
Speaker 1: just honesty, I think, And the important part is I
Speaker 1: said this with every interview pretty much, is that like
Speaker 1: honesty is important because you know, if you ask me
Speaker 1: for your opinion, not I'm not gonna lie to you
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna let you down. With that brutal
Speaker 1: honesty also comes loyalty. Those attributes are much more important
Speaker 1: than like not disrupting the piece. Sure, I'm a scorpio,
Speaker 1: I will shape the room for the greater good.
Speaker 2: But you also said fake it to you make it
Speaker 2: a few times as well. You know, it's not exactly
Speaker 2: like you were hiding with that confidence. You were like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I might might not be the most confident person in
Speaker 2: the room. I'm just trying to be no.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: And it was the same thing, like, you know, Mini
Speaker 1: had that issue with me telling the judges that a
Speaker 1: great time working with Pamara and then I tell the
Speaker 1: girls I didn't have a good time working with Pamara.
Speaker 1: I think, what Mini and I know this about each
Speaker 1: other now, But what was missing there was that two
Speaker 1: things can be true at the same time. I was
Speaker 1: so proud of the work I did with Pamarra, Like
Speaker 1: we put that together with two we're a Taurus and
Speaker 1: a Scorpio, like, are you joking? Like that was not
Speaker 1: going to work? And we made like a pretty decent
Speaker 1: Was it the worst of the group, Sure, but it
Speaker 1: was a pretty brilliant set. And then so I told
Speaker 1: the judges, I'm so proud of the work we did,
Speaker 1: and I told the girls working with Pamara was really tricky.
Speaker 1: It was hard. I didn't felt listened to, and that's true.
Speaker 2: At the same time, yeah, it's a very good point
Speaker 2: to make, you know, you also proved that you could
Speaker 2: throw shade pretty well. It would seem like you knew
Speaker 2: those boundaries in your banter between the queens at times
Speaker 2: better than they did.
Speaker 3: You know, it looked.
Speaker 2: At times where you were being on Rupol's drag race
Speaker 2: and throwing some shade and then they were looking at
Speaker 2: you like you were talking a different language. Is that
Speaker 2: an example of you being a huge Ruphole super fan
Speaker 2: and you're just leaning into the experience, or with those
Speaker 2: other girls really challenged by what you were saying.
Speaker 1: I think the latter I think that personally on the show,
Speaker 1: I think that they might have used that first point
Speaker 1: of like, oh, Bed's just ticket, She's just a young
Speaker 1: queen who's been raised on social media and it's fuzz
Speaker 1: confidence and she's gonna use words as like boots wig sligh,
Speaker 1: But like that's all, it's all just in jest sort of.
Speaker 1: It's all just an ironic use of the word to
Speaker 1: be honest, because I think it's ridiculous. But when it
Speaker 1: came to like my relationships with like the more experienced
Speaker 1: queens and the reasons why they would be so taken
Speaker 1: aback when I would throw shade or hold them to
Speaker 1: the same standards they held me to, I think it
Speaker 1: took them aback because I think they might have had
Speaker 1: being in the competition, you will get sort of neutralized.
Speaker 1: You will walk in and you're all equals. For me,
Speaker 1: at least that was the case. But for them, they
Speaker 1: walked in being like I am this person, I have
Speaker 1: this chip on my shoulder, and I'm here to win
Speaker 1: and prove exactly who I am. Where I walked in
Speaker 1: being like, you don't know me, but let me introduce myself.
Speaker 1: So I think maybe that sort of difference in our
Speaker 1: understanding of who we are when it comes to the
Speaker 1: competition might have maybe changed it. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, now the competition's done and we're all
Speaker 1: in the real world, we all get each other like
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Like the season two group chat goes
Speaker 1: off every day and we're augamzed.
Speaker 2: Well, the others kind of stood back to what you
Speaker 2: do your thing, and in some cases they left you
Speaker 2: on your own and waited until this episode to pass judgment.
Speaker 3: Is that a fair assessment.
Speaker 1: I think the reason why I snapped the way I
Speaker 1: did was because, like I just felt like I was
Speaker 1: being kicked when I was down. I think that's the
Speaker 1: main reason why I snapped. And it was like, this
Speaker 1: is so not helpful advice. It's the least from helpful.
Speaker 1: If someone's upset, don't be trying to, like, you know,
Speaker 1: give them a solution. Just I'm just upset, man, Like
Speaker 1: I'm just let me be sad, like this this is me,
Speaker 1: This is this is who I be. You don't have
Speaker 1: to accept it. You can just say like, I don't
Speaker 1: really like understand you, but like I respect you. But
Speaker 1: they were like, because we don't understand you, we think
Speaker 1: that we've put this judgment on you, And that was
Speaker 1: quite frustrating for me as well. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the context that was missing was that especially the
Speaker 1: viewersiden't sye was that Aubrey had been doing drag for
Speaker 1: like a year eighteen months. When I was doing Drag Race,
Speaker 1: I had only been doing drag for like two and
Speaker 1: a bit years, so I'd only had like about nine
Speaker 1: months more experienced than Aubrey. But she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's young, She's getting there, Whereas for some reason, the
Speaker 1: standards that I was up to was like I had
Speaker 1: to know everything. I don't. I don't claim to be
Speaker 1: a super experienced queen. And then so when I was
Speaker 1: in the top five, it was everyone had ten years
Speaker 1: of performing experience on me.
Speaker 2: I wonder if there's some jealousy, because I'm trying to
Speaker 2: work out how that was sort of miscommunicated from their behalf.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was jealousy at all. I don't
Speaker 1: think those girls are jealous. I think it was I
Speaker 1: just don't think they understood. Uh no, actually no, I
Speaker 1: think they did understand. I don't think that we had
Speaker 1: the ability to communicate our empathy to each other. We're
Speaker 1: in a competition, and the empathy is in the back
Speaker 1: of our brain, but at the front of our brain
Speaker 1: is the competition. So we sort of you sort of
Speaker 1: willingly ignore your not your professionalism, but like just the
Speaker 1: way that you communicate with people. I don't blame Hannah
Speaker 1: for the argument that we had, but I think she
Speaker 1: knew why I was upset, and because of the context
Speaker 1: of the show, she wasn't able to listen to it.
Speaker 2: It was interesting, though, because Hannah and Queen sort of
Speaker 2: called you false and it just came out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: just all of a sudden, sou I'm like, you know,
Speaker 2: Hannah went stop, you need to stop and sort of
Speaker 2: had this very well put together thought of you that
Speaker 2: maybe was new, you know when that was put upon you.
Speaker 2: So how did you process their opinions and pick yourself
Speaker 2: up and can continue with what you had to do.
Speaker 1: I usually process people's opinions at me by screaming at them,
Speaker 1: telling them to fuck off, And in that case, I
Speaker 1: think it worked brilliantly. I think I snapped at her,
Speaker 1: and I only think she got it when I launched
Speaker 1: back at her, and I think I just I took
Speaker 1: every bit of what she said and just sort of went,
Speaker 1: listen to what you're doing to me. You're calling me false,
Speaker 1: And that's like a brilliant way to gaslight someone like
Speaker 1: because when you call someone false. How do you come
Speaker 1: back from that? Because then everything is like you are false,
Speaker 1: you are this. And in the moment, I was out
Speaker 1: of my element, self critical, frustrated, scared, upset because I
Speaker 1: pretty much knew I was going and I was all
Speaker 1: of those things. And I think hannahnow willingly or not,
Speaker 1: didn't like She just ignored it, and she was like,
Speaker 1: the most important thing right now is that we figure
Speaker 1: out why you being fake with us, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: there is more important things. I'm pretty upset because I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure I'm going home and you guys have had
Speaker 1: a lovely stroll to the top four. I guess that's
Speaker 1: where my upsetness came from. But again, I don't blame
Speaker 1: her for what happened, and that's fine. Sister's fight.
Speaker 2: The way that you felt versus the w that you
Speaker 2: came across, was there a miscommunication there? Is it like
Speaker 2: you were brought up in some way to love bomb
Speaker 2: your opponent as a way to disarm them?
Speaker 1: Just can you give me like a rundown of how
Speaker 1: it went.
Speaker 2: At the start of the episode, Queen Seat of said, look,
Speaker 2: I'm very sorry. She just said, I don't want to
Speaker 2: apologize to you. Because then you'd think that you know,
Speaker 2: she was wrong, and then she sort of said, I'm
Speaker 2: so sorry of the way what happened last week. If
Speaker 2: that ruined everyone's day and had this big moment, and
Speaker 2: then you sort of jumped in and were like, you know,
Speaker 2: I just want to say that I love you. At
Speaker 2: that point, you could have been able to really hammer
Speaker 2: it down the point with Queen and there was some
Speaker 2: resolutions still to be had in that situation.
Speaker 3: That's where I thought.
Speaker 2: Maybe the girls would see that you were being false,
Speaker 2: so you weren't being true to yourself.
Speaker 1: I guess there's an element of truth to what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I was just over the conflict, to be honest, I
Speaker 1: wanted a solution. I suppose I don't like fighting with
Speaker 1: people just as much as the next person. I don't think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think I was love bombing. I think it
Speaker 1: was I do love them, and that's our relationship now,
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't if if we were to
Speaker 1: do conflict resolution on the show, would be there for
Speaker 1: hours and hours and hours and hours and hours talking
Speaker 1: about the nuances of our relationship and the show, and
Speaker 1: it's not possible. I just wanted to be like, look
Speaker 1: all good, I do not hate you, you don't hate me.
Speaker 1: We're moving on. You know.
Speaker 2: It's interesting though, because like, arrogance and confidence are often confused,
Speaker 2: and I think that with you on the show at times,
Speaker 2: and I don't know how you felt by watching the show,
Speaker 2: were you like, wow, I'm coming across so confidently. I
Speaker 2: wondered whether or not arrogance at times was actually a
Speaker 2: lack of confidence.
Speaker 1: I think confidence is confidence and then arrogance is unearned confidence,
Speaker 1: and it's sort of it was a bit of both.
Speaker 1: To be honest, again, like I was a fake it
Speaker 1: to you make it is not my life's mantra, but
Speaker 1: in that moment, I fucking needed it. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I really need to push myself here and just fucking
Speaker 1: go for it. And if I don't feel great about this,
Speaker 1: I just need to make it look like I'm doing
Speaker 1: my best. Don't let them see a sweat, you know.
Speaker 1: But I think by holding that all in is why
Speaker 1: I would have those quite high emotion moments, because I
Speaker 1: would it all in and then be like, fuck, I
Speaker 1: can't do that.
Speaker 3: So well, what is it that you've learned from conflict?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: What have you learned from those moments with the other girls.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was necessarily that it was like lessons to
Speaker 1: be learned. I think it was more just about like
Speaker 1: showing that everyone is very different. We all have a
Speaker 1: different idea of what our success looks like, or what
Speaker 1: drag looks like. I think Drag Grace is a brilliant
Speaker 1: showcase of drag, but it's also a brilliant showcase of
Speaker 1: the human spirit and how we adapt to different situations,
Speaker 1: especially as queck people. We've all got these different ideas
Speaker 1: of what it means to be excellent, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's our relationship to ourselves in relationship to others. So
Speaker 1: I think it's sort of like an expose on the
Speaker 1: queer mind.
Speaker 2: And in a way, Mini predicted that you would be
Speaker 2: the next target. When I spoke to Minnie Cooper, I
Speaker 2: was like, what do you think is going to happen?
Speaker 2: Because it kind of felt like there was a bit
Speaker 2: of segregation happening with Minnie. And I said, with you
Speaker 2: gone from that conversation, what's going to happen now? And
Speaker 2: Mini kind of said, well, I kind of feel like
Speaker 2: it's going to go to BEV was that good foreshadowing
Speaker 2: on good insight from her perspective.
Speaker 1: Brilliant foreshadowing. The second she left, it changed the same
Speaker 1: that there was a new There was a new target,
Speaker 1: and it was me. I'm not saying a group the
Speaker 1: group targeted me, but I.
Speaker 3: It felt that way.
Speaker 1: I was the black sheep with the group, was the
Speaker 1: most the most unlike them. So therefore I was not
Speaker 1: part of the group that in the competition, and it
Speaker 1: sucked to be in that because it like literally zapped
Speaker 1: me right back to that thing that feels like, this
Speaker 1: is your high school science class and you know everyone's
Speaker 1: picking their science lab buddies and it's like, oh, you
Speaker 1: guys just want to do with us.
Speaker 2: No matter how old you get, you can still remember
Speaker 2: that feeling of not being picked in the science class. However,
Speaker 2: yeah it was in science, it was sport.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad we didn't do the fucking captain's pick
Speaker 1: thing because I was last every single time.
Speaker 2: Why was Spanky so accessible, because you know, there was
Speaker 2: that sort of group mentality, But at the same time,
Speaker 2: Banky was always there for the people that were kind
Speaker 2: of being left out. You know, you could see that
Speaker 2: Spanky tried to help Minnie Cooper and you could see
Speaker 2: that Spanky tried to help you. You know, why do
Speaker 2: you think that was Why do you think that's so
Speaker 2: easy for Spanky to do.
Speaker 1: I think Spanky is able to communicate her empathy in
Speaker 1: high pressure situations. She works with children, which is very
Speaker 1: helpful for drag race because's the room of children. So
Speaker 1: it's like I remember like when she told her She's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I work, you know, I take care of people.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh interesting. And you can see that
Speaker 1: because no matter how high pressure the situation is, she
Speaker 1: is cool, calm and collected and she can empathize with people.
Speaker 1: It's a really brilliant skill that Spanky's got and it's
Speaker 1: something that I would love to I'd love to be
Speaker 1: able to have that like she does. One day.
Speaker 2: You said at one point that the Gold Coast is
Speaker 2: fun and trashy, which you know you had based a
Speaker 2: lot of your drag aesthetic around. Is easy to work
Speaker 2: out people's yesthetic based on where their hometown origins.
Speaker 1: Are insanely easy for me. Melbourne are the over the
Speaker 1: top show girls. So you've got your Karen, your Aubrey big, colorful,
Speaker 1: bright costumes, Sydney sexy, dancy always always gorgeous, mugs, funny
Speaker 1: and like just like the womanly spirit. You know, Brisbane
Speaker 1: is Brisbane and the Gold Coast trashy, punk, fierce like that.
Speaker 1: That's my judgment of like the three cities sort of
Speaker 1: there thank is Palmeston North, no tights us out. I
Speaker 1: think she's the only drag queen in Parmeston North. So
Speaker 1: I think whatever Spanky does is the she is the archetype.
Speaker 3: You know, I really want to go to Palmeston North
Speaker 3: after watching this.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to go. I think it's like two streets,
Speaker 1: a couple of homes, and one club some king.
Speaker 3: Right away, we'll get our tickets.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Something that really hurt my feelings was RuPaul asking you
Speaker 2: about Muriel's wedding and you said that you hadn't seen
Speaker 2: Muriel's wedding, which to me is like a part of
Speaker 2: the gay Bible. Have you finally watched Muriel's wedding at
Speaker 2: this point?
Speaker 1: Okay, no, but I have a reason. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I should go have I watch Mural's wedding? And I
Speaker 1: was like, no, I'm going to wait till the episode
Speaker 1: comes out and I'm going to do a live reaction
Speaker 1: recap of Muriel's wedding.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: You know it's my favorite Australian film, so I will
Speaker 2: I can't wait to sit down and watch it with you.
Speaker 1: Well, if I'm going to be my first time watching it,
Speaker 1: so I'll have my live reaction. I think people will
Speaker 1: take a lot of joy in having someone watch for
Speaker 1: the first time.
Speaker 2: Just as we come to the end of this. You know,
Speaker 2: what I thought was interesting was this dance off that
Speaker 2: you had, the lip sync that you had with Queen Kong.
Speaker 2: It was It kind of reminded me of do you
Speaker 2: remember it was a Jersey Shore or Jordie show, one
Speaker 2: of those where they go to the clubs and they
Speaker 2: call it fighter.
Speaker 3: Dancing because they'd be like dancing like they were fighting.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: It was your lip sync like fighter dancing because the
Speaker 2: two of you look like it looked like Mortal Kombat
Speaker 2: of drag Race.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like the Super Smash Brothers of the
Speaker 1: lip sync. It was so fun. It was like it
Speaker 1: was such a lip sync of passion. Like I was
Speaker 1: like there was something in me that was like I'm
Speaker 1: not surviving this, but what I can do is make
Speaker 1: Queen Kong earn her spot and make her fucking fight
Speaker 1: for it. And that's what was going to my head.
Speaker 1: I was like, fuck it, bring it on, bitch, Like.
Speaker 2: Well, there were a few dance though that I just
Speaker 2: thought from Queen Kong where it seemed like she tried
Speaker 2: to intimidate you off the dance floor. I felt really
Speaker 2: uncomfortable watching it.
Speaker 3: You know, did you.
Speaker 2: Feel like Queen Kong was trying to intimidate you or
Speaker 2: how did that feel in real time?
Speaker 1: I don't think she was trying to intimidate me. I
Speaker 1: think she was just trying to do what Kong does best,
Speaker 1: and that's performed. She was like, I'm not worried about Bev.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna perform. She's not even know at me,
Speaker 1: and power to her. Well. I did the same with Minnie.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going to plant my feet here.
Speaker 1: I'm not moving from Senna. Minnie can go around me.
Speaker 2: At this point of the podcast, I normally ask people
Speaker 2: like a behind the scenes secret, but we kind of
Speaker 2: scrapped that for Rue Paul's. So we're playing this game,
Speaker 2: shady old lady. Now you don't have to answer the
Speaker 2: question if you want to be a lady or you
Speaker 2: can say shady and just answer the question.
Speaker 1: I know this game very well. I'm very familiar.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, So we're going to kick it off with
Speaker 2: who was the most talented on this season?
Speaker 1: Ah ha?
Speaker 2: No, conduct Okay, who was the funniest? Who did you
Speaker 2: not like or maybe not get enough time to get
Speaker 2: to know?
Speaker 1: Uh Mini, because we've become like best mates now, so
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm got to be a more time.
Speaker 2: We'll be fine.
Speaker 1: So Annie, I understand.
Speaker 3: Who is the messiest queen this season?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not allowed to say myself, but a couple
Speaker 1: of the producers called me Hurricane Bev because I would
Speaker 1: just get ready and shit would go everywhere. So as
Speaker 1: the time went on, I ended up taking the space
Speaker 1: of like two and a half more mirrors just to
Speaker 1: like spread to my theme.
Speaker 3: We could see some of that every now and again,
Speaker 3: just so you know we ever see that?

Speaker 1: lot of like different products for their makeup. There would
Speaker 1: just be goo all over. Yuri stationed to like pots
Speaker 1: and products and creams and liquids and shit everywhere.
Speaker 3: So Uri was also probably existed, and this one is
Speaker 3: a hard one.
Speaker 2: Who deserved to go in this episode maybe not even
Speaker 2: Queen Kong, but out of the top five who deserved
Speaker 2: to go, that wasn't Queen Com.
Speaker 3: Can I say com, You could say Queen Con Absolutely.

Speaker 1: said KNG again.
