![]() ![]() “I keep going back to being 16 years old and watching the show, and to now be a part of that legacy is insane,” she said “I grew up watching the show and looking up to these queens. “I don’t think I fully understood what I was capable of ,” she said in a recent interview with Vogue. And like many aspiring drag queens, she first got a taste of that potential by watching the show as a teenager. Symone says winning Drag Race has only made her realize her potential as a drag auteur. ![]() “No matter where you’re from, no matter adversities or lack of resources, you can literally make what you want out of this life,” she said. When she made the final four, she told NYLON that winning the competition would represent possibility for other queer people of color like her. Symone has never been afraid to make a statement, and often used her platform on the show to speak out about the cultural and political moment. I'm not a big Tina Burner fan, but that outcome should've gone in her favor.“I really wanted to take this opportunity to do some activism in my drag and personify that Black angelic being.” : She’s gonna sneak right by you at the airport on the way home!.Kandy Muse: She’s gonna sneak right by you at the airport on the way home! Tina Burner: Yeah, it’s gonna be real cute when I sneak right by you, sis. ![]() Tina Burner: I’m ready for it to be Top 4. Whenever that happens, it makes the results obvious to everyone at home. The edit had cut out a lot of Tina to minimize her dance moves and focus mostly on Utica. The edit itself highly favored Utica and gave away the winner. Utica did creepy movements and had some funny moments in the song.īased on the lip-sync, Tina Burner should've won. Tina Burner danced around the stage, did tricks, and added humor to her routine. You have to be funny and do outrageous things because it doesn't take itself too seriously. The lip-sync of "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas is a sexy song, but it's a comedic song about excess. Her drag persona seemed more punk, avant-garde, and playful fun while breaking all the rules. Gottmik, on the other hand, went for delusion and sexy, but it wasn't a fully realized story.ĭoes anyone equate Gottmik with delusional sexiness? The direction focused more on a character than who she was as a performer. : When you put beautiful men in front of me, everything goes out the window, Honey.I know my Drag Race trivia, but when you put beautiful men in front of me, everything goes out the window, Honey. All Utica had to do was have fun and showcase herself more in the video. The commercial was trying to be out there and weird for the sake of being unique. The problem, however, was that she had interesting ideas of weird things (like licking the can and the cow utters), but those ideas didn't connect to who she was as a brand. Granted, that's her personality and how she portrays her drag persona. Utica tried to showcase her quirky and eccentric self in the commercial. The other notes about her color use should've been provided before for it not to feel convenient now. Her commercial didn't showcase herself or her brand properly that alone would be reason enough to land her at the bottom. Tina needed to elevate her outfits and branding throughout the competition, so the feedback might've been a slow burn to get to this moment. I love her death, that’s my little sister. But, being the diva you are, there’s no way you’re gonna sit here and tell me that after four bitches said your name on the main stage, you’re cool, calm, and collective. ![]() However, the judges critiqued her for not using her brand colors on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 Episode 10, so her being faulted now for using them during a branding challenge doesn't make much sense. Granted, I think we're all done with seeing a red/orange/yellow combination on the runway. Did anyone else notice how quick they were to rip her about using her trademark colors? ![]()
