0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:01.680
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload the podcast last week.

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:03.920
<v Speaker 2>They're right.

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you for clicking and downloading on today's episode with

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Olivia Dreams, who was the first eliminated queen from RuPaul's

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>drag race down under a quick apology that this chat

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>is a week late. I was traveling from the Gold

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Coast to Melbourne and let me tell you, my life

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>has been.

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 2>A little bit chaotic.

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>But we're here, we have Olivia Dreams and it's a

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>really fun chat.

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Guys.

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I also haven't a chance to talk to you about

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>what you think of RuPaul not being the host and

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Michelle Visage stepping in, and from my point of view,

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I actually haven't noticed it that much, which maybe says

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>something about my fandom to Michelle Visage. Olivia will talk

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>about though the absence of RuPaul and what the reaction

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>was amongst the cast. We will unpack the dynamics of

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the group performance, and if you.

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Need to be a team player, I.

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Will discuss the choreography and what Queen Kong was like

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes, especially after whatever I'm saying.

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Since you competed.

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>In the global edition, you will get everything from what

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Olivia dreams, is Bank looks like now after competing, their

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>favorite moment, and if they sought any help from some

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>previous queens. There's actually so much to unpack, as per

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>usuals lots of revelations, So sit back and relax as

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>we unpack the wonderful world of RuPaul's Drag Race down Under.

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations my friend on doing so well getting onto this show.

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And also, I feel like I normally can predict who's

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>going home, and I did not see that coming.

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 3>You and me both. I did not expect to go

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 3>home either, so I was just as shocked as you were.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the first two girls in week one, you know,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>they were both safe, and I wondered, how does that

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>make you feel to process that you did better than

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>them in the first week and that you're the person

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you're the first eliminated person to go home.

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 2>How has that all sat with you?

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I honestly think in the beginning it was a little

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 3>bit better. It was a little bit better because I

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 3>was thinking that from an analytical point of view, you know,

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>like track record rive, I didn't do that bad, but

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 3>taking the time process it taking the time to really

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 3>reflect on it. You know, I think there's no point

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>in harboring el feelings about it anymore. The dice foil

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 3>where they foul. I'm just happy that I got to

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 3>experience the show. I'm happy that I got to be

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 3>on the show, and I'm happy that I got to

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 3>show the world a little bit of who Olivia Dreams is.

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 3>I've got Olivia Dreams exactly, experience the magic of Olivia Dreams.

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 3>So I'm glad. Yeah, the world's gotten to see a

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 3>little bit of Olivia Dreams. Really wish I got to

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.239
<v Speaker 3>show more, but you know, sometimes you need to give

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 3>everybody a little bit of a taster before you give

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 3>them the full meal.

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>This is true. This is a very competitive group of people.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that the talent and the quality and everything

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>seems to be leveling up.

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely. I think, you know, a lot of these queens

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 3>have been applying every season, and you know, they're hungry

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 3>for it. They were hungry for it. They're hungry to

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 3>show who they are, and they're hungry to be on

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 3>the stage. And I think we all brought all brought

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 3>our best because we wanted drag Race down Under to

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 3>be good, not saying that it's not being good, but

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, we really wanted to elevate it, to take

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 3>it to the next level. And yeah, we just absolutely

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 3>brought everything that we could to the show, and there's

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 3>it's just such a stacked cast of performers.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 1>I've really felt that when you get casts on a

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 1>show like this, do you go back and watch those

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>seasons and start taking notes or do you worry that

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that will infiltrate your drag?

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Like what did you do to prepare?

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 3>So even before I got the call back, I did

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 3>exactly that. I went back and started watching all the

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 3>seasons of Drag Race downe Under, just to see how

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>the judges were critiquing my fellow you know, Australasian sisters

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 3>and getting or trying to gauge what works well, what

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.640
<v Speaker 3>doesn't work well, what's worked well for some queens, what

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 3>hasn't worked well. So I did a little bit of research,

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 3>but I didn't let it filter into my drag per se.

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 3>I sort of wanted to keep Olivia Dreams at the

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 3>forefront of what I wanted to present, and I really

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 3>feel like I did. I really am glad with what

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 3>I presented. All my time on the show.

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Did you go and get any advice?

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is what I was curious about, as

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to whether or not you'd sort of slide into some

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>dms of some queens that you connected with or liked previously.

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you try and get any advice from people that

0:03:58.680 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>have done the show before.

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 3>No, I am part of the French but I absolutely

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 3>raw dog the experience of Drag Race down Under. I

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 3>really just thought it's better if I put myself in

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 3>this bubble and just focus completely on getting ready for

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 3>the show.

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you go the first queen I'm talking to? So

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious what about the reaction of Rupon not hosting

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>and Michelle coming in. I have to tell you, I

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>could be the biggest Michelle Visage fan, I would say

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in the world. So for me, I haven't noticed Ruth's absence, Like,

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>what was the reaction for you? What was the reaction

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:30.119
<v Speaker 1>amongst the cast.

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 3>I think we were a little bit a little bit bummed,

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 3>to be honest, that Rue wasn't going to be joining

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 3>us this season. But I think, honestly, I think it's

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 3>a good decision because Michelle just understands Drag down Under.

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 3>She really gets the references. She really gets the humor.

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 3>And like you said, like we didn't really notice Ruth's

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 3>absence on the show. I think Michelle's doing such a

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 3>great job. It's done such a great job to step

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 3>up into that main host platform and then bringing on

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 3>the previous alum queens. It really you really didn't know

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Rue's absence. We just really enjoyed ourselves with Michelle. She's

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 3>so down to earth. She laughs at our jove like

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 3>she just really understands us, and she gives such good

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 3>She just commands the room as well, that's the saying.

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 3>That's one thing that always stars with me is when

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 3>she first woke into that web room on episode one,

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 3>she just commanded the room with her presence and she

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 3>hadn't even spoken yet. We were just all enamored with Michelle.

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>The looks look amazing, Like I think it was this episode,

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>or but maybe it was the week before where she

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>walked out and everyone's like, you look amazing, and that's

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 1>exactly what the audience is thinking.

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>She's looking. Yeah, her aesthetic is so good.

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 3>She's looking absolutely amazing, like she's just so studying in

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 3>person and everything is meticulously detailed about her. Speechless That's

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 3>what I am speechless about. Michelle Visage.

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>What is it like working with these challenges, these team challenges,

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 1>because like, for me, you really have to be I

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>sometimes think I'm really good in team environments, and then

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes if there's one person the group that can throw me,

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>then I get quite distracted.

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 2>How did you go working with all the other girls?

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Group performances aren't new to me, so I've done a

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 3>few here in New Zealand, So I was really excited

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 3>to work with these girls and get to know them

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 3>and get to know, you know, their strengths and the

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 3>weaknesses and whatnot. I think a part of part of

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 3>the challenge set through me was being paired with the

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 3>like like Max and Karna and Brenda. Like Brenda can sing,

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Brenda was on the Voice Australia right, So this is

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 3>not only just like a girl group challenge is not

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 3>just dancing, it's singing, dancing an act. So being put

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 3>in a team with such strong, you know, singers, such

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 3>song dancers, it was like, oh, I really need to

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 3>like step myself up and really push myself outside of

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 3>my comfort zone to make sure that I stand out.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And Queen Kong, who better to come in and teach

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>some choreography. I have met Quen Kong a number of times,

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 1>just so amazing. What was what was it like to

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>be able to work alongside Queen Kong? What did you

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>take out of that experience?

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Really amazing. It was such an experience to be able

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.359
<v Speaker 3>to be mentor and to be supported by somebody who's

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 3>such a big deal. You know, she's such a performer,

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 3>she's such a powerhouse and Australasian reaction. She's just competed

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 3>on Global All Stars. Like to have her there with

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 3>us as another indigenous queen, like it meant the world

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 3>to me. And she's just so mutherly, she's so muzzling

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 3>and she wants to see the best in everybody. And

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it was really good to get the critiques

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 3>that I did get from Queen because she's been through

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 3>the process, she's been through the show. She knows how

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 3>we're feeling, she knows how it all runs down. So

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 3>to have that person with experience to support us and

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 3>to support me, it was just It's what I needed

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 3>in the moment.

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>They really came for you. When they talked about the wrapping,

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 1>is it dangerous at this point of the competition to

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>do something that will make you stand out like this.

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, especially after episode one where I was in the bottom,

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 3>I really wanted to push myself and do something risky

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 3>to show the judges and the other girls why I

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 3>deserve to be in the competition. So it was like

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 3>an active choice on my behalf to push myself outside

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 3>of my comfort zone and not to try to aim

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 3>for safe, but to aim to win essentially. And I

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 3>wanted to rap because all the other girls were singing.

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 3>I actually had written like a verse where I was

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 3>singing the song, but I saw, well everybody else is singing.

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 3>How am I going to be different? Why don't I

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 3>try rapping? Never raped before, probably will never rap again.

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 3>But in that moment, I thought, this is probably a

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 3>safe way for me to not fade into obscurity per se.

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>The judges talked about your imposter syndrome, and I was

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>curious to know what was your relationship with that. Did

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you agree? Did you feel like there was a bit

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 1>of imposter syndrome? Oh?

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely. Like all the critiques that I got across

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.319
<v Speaker 3>both episodes, I agreed was I don't think they were mean,

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they were harsh, I think they were

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.439
<v Speaker 3>just the truth of the matter. Like I felt imposter

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 3>syndrome at times because it was such a stacked cast

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 3>of queens that I did wonder like, what am I

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 3>doing here? Why am I here? I was the queen

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 3>was the least amount of experience doing drag and you know,

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 3>been putted against people who've been doing drags even eight nine,

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 3>ten plus years. So like the critics may come across

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 3>as harsh, or they may come across as critical, but

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 3>in all honesty, they were true and reflecting on a

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 3>process in it happened. There's no point in looking back

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 3>on it, only look forward from here on out.

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>My partner always says to me, puts his hand on

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>my leg because of my leg starts tapping. I get in,

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I get restless leg. And it's only when I'm in

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>situations where I start to feel a little bit uncomfortable,

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.319
<v Speaker 1>and it's so bizarre. There was a scene very quickly

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 1>where it was a wide shot and I could see

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you with the restless leg going and I was like,

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that is me. I'm so connecting to this right now.

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of how I am. Do you have restless

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>leg in uncomfortable situation? Like me.

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, yes, I do like riftless legs, or I'll fit

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 3>it with my hands a lot, and I'll just sit

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 3>there like rubbing my fingers across each other, or my

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 3>legal start bouncing. So yeah, I actually hadn't clopped that.

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 3>I actually hadn't clocked that I had ristless leg.

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Go back and watch it.

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>There's a spot where it's a wide shot and you

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>can see you sitting there and you're watching what's going on.

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 2>It's not a piece of dialogue that you're a part of.

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>And you've got your foot on the stool and your

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>both of your feet are going like and it's funny.

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a very good flyer.

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>But I sat next to my partner on a plane

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>two days ago and I had headphones in, so I

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't realize I was doing it. And he said, stop

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>rocking your legs back and forward. You're driving everyone around

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>here nuts. It's making a tappening sound. Maybe I was

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>more conscious of you doing it because of that.

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Because Kindred Spirits. Kindred Spirits been with Kindred Spirits.

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>What was interesting was the look that you chose to

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>go with for the runway. How did you go in

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>the moment thinking that was the that's what you wanted

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to put forward. Was there any other options or is

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that just what you thought was the best thing to do?

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Honestly? Around casting, there was a lack of designers here

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 3>in New Zealand, so I was actually struggling to find

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 3>people to make the outfits for the runway packet. And

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually really happy with what we were able to produce. Like, yeah,

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 3>it probably wasn't you know, there were critiques it should

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 3>have been longer, things like that, wasn't that share? But

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually really happy. Was the point of difference because

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 3>I thought everybody would go along the same lines of

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 3>share and I wanted to, I guess take my interpretation

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 3>on share and share. Like, I think it's a beautiful outfit.

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.079
<v Speaker 3>I think it doesn't translate well onto camera, but it's

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 3>actually made out of a very fine lace, which almost

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.719
<v Speaker 3>because they share appearance. I'm happy with it. I'm really

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 3>happy with it. I think I look absolutely gorgeous in

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 3>it when I were it again. Absolutely, would I get

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 3>it reconstructed a little bit, sure, yeah, absolutely, But at

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 3>the end of the day, I'm happy with what I

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.560
<v Speaker 3>was able to produce with the resources and the time

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:43.199
<v Speaker 3>that we were given.

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought you look like Dawn French at the LOGI,

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't think it was that bad.

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Like you know, that's a compliment. I'm taking that other compliment.

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Just before I let you go.

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>There's sort of two questions that I'm asking everybody, and

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that is how much money did you spend on getting

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>your outfits ready?

0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Can you tell me what damage you did to your

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>bank balance? Just checking? Are you there now?

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 3>I did a severe amount of bank damage, the damage

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:06.959
<v Speaker 3>to my make account.

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm going to wrap this up. But the last

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>question I ask everyone who joins the pot is what

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>is something from behind the scenes, something that we would

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>like to know?

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I know that there is so much that we can't

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.439
<v Speaker 1>talk about when it comes to RuPaul and the mysteries

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>behind this show, but I thought, maybe are behind the

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 1>scenes secret is something that you will remember? What's when

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.439
<v Speaker 1>you look back at this experience? Is there a take

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>home that you will always look back on and remember

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 1>as an important part of your RuPaul's journey.

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 3>There were so many amazing moments as part of as

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.319
<v Speaker 3>part of the experience. I think one of my favorite

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 3>moments was was Nikita and long filming days. But she

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 3>just killed up next to me one day on the

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 3>seat and just fell asleep on me. Didn't even ask

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 3>her anything, but yeah, she just killed out one day

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 3>between shooting and just fell asleep on me. And I

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 3>was like, Okay, well this is happening now. But I

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 3>think that was really sweet and one of my most

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 3>memories from the show.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think that if you're anything like my animals

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>at home, they will always go to sleep on the

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>person they trust the most. So I think that the

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>fact that's that happened is because you're a very trusting person.

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for being so generous with your

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>time and look after yourself and enjoy chatting to the media.
