ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I’m so bummed you’re leaving!
You served so many amazing looks this season, including that hospital chic crutch realness at the end!
EUREKA O’HARA: I was giving you Furby on a crutch, honey!

And you still worked it!
Even in those little ballet flats.
You bejeweled the hell out of those things.
Aww, my little flats!
You’re bringing up the memories, honey.
The doctor wouldn’t allow me to wear heels…
It’s not like you’re leaving because you did something wrong…
I think you might be the firstDrag Racecontestant eliminated because you went above what the judges were expecting.
I didn’t look at it that way!
That’s so refreshing to hear.
It says a lot about your tenacity.
That’s definitely who I am.
[Being eliminated] was hard at first.
I know Charlie Hides was actually lip-synching with an injury last week too, right?
What are your thoughts on that?
I mean, that’s her side of the story!
Spill the tea, girl!
It’s hard to tell with Charlie.
I never know what’s real and what’s not.
Charlie and me never clicked.
I still hardly talk to her…
I don’t really know Charlie.
I didn’t get to know her when I was there.
She told me to shut up that’s about as much as I know about her.
You don’t think she was actually hurt?
I think she was injured.
I just don’t know how extensive it was.
I feel like a part of Charlie was ready to go home.
She probablywashurting from that challenge…
So what was running through your mind when you saw the producer approach Ru at the panel?
Either they both slayed and are staying or they’re both leaving.
I thought she was going to say they recalculated and I was in the bottom two.
Will you take them up on the offer to return for season 10?
I’m coming to the closing end of seeing doctors after knee surgery.
You had to get surgery!?
My ACL was completely torn in my left knee.
It’s an experience that was a part of my past, girl, so I went through it.
Now I feel like a stronger person.
You get two seasons ofDrag Raceon your resume now, though!
And I get an ACL surgery on my insurance record.
That’s gonna haunt me when I’m filing for life insurance, girl.
Was there more to that story than what we saw?
I’m always trying to break the ice with a toothbrush!
It was poor timing for my comedy.
You don’t snap at me without getting a clap back.
Your apology was so sincere, though.
I have such a love for Sasha because she represents a different side of difference, like I do.
I represent difference in a different way… that’s something we realized about that situation.
I guess I would have told that choreographer “F no, I’m not doing a cartwheel!”
[Laughs] I had my reservations about the cartwheel, but I did push myself past my gut.
Is your eye still on that Miss Congeniality crown?
I’d rather have the title crown next year.
Maybe someone else deserves and needs Miss Congeniality more than me.
I don’t need that reassurance; I need the reassurance of being America’s Drag Superstar.
