9/5/2023 0 Comments Symone drag race 13![]() ![]() You did get to go out with one big, final lip-sync performance. I don’t want to offend anyone at all, but I did what I could. Like, Okay, this is what I got, let’s just go for it! And I am not, inherently, an offensive person, so when I heard that, I was like, Oh dear, I need to reevaluate. I think it’s difficult to step outside of the jokes and be like, Okay, what is appropriate and what isn’t? But we’re under such a time crunch that it’s difficult to remedy that. This is my first experience with a roast and this type of joke-telling, insult humor. The judges mentioned that a few of your jokes came off as mean, rather than funny. When I got flipped off by RuPaul and shaded by Loni, I literally was like, Well, I did it! I did the thing. What’s going through your mind at that point? ![]() Not many people can say that’s happened to them. “I feel like if we can have confidence when we’re definitely bombing so hard, and just enjoy the time even if it’s scary, that’s the true gift of it all,” Utica told Vulture, in an interview reflecting on her roast jokes, her UtiCan commercial, and yes, the Bob Ross wig.ĭuring the roast, you were standing up there getting heckled by Loni Love and flipped off by RuPaul. ![]() And she even nabbed a deserved win between it all, for coming out of her shell in a stunning B.A.P.S.–inspired look from Symone and pushing her partner with some of her signature weirdness.īut after radiating positivity throughout the series and worrying during multiple challenges about being offensive (see also: Her Bob Ross squirrel-afro for Snatch Game), Utica finally sashayed away after a roast performance that came up too mean-spirited - and even got her flipped off by RuPaul, multiple times, in a Drag Race first. And forget about that first lip-sync loss - Utica also became something of a lip-sync assassin as the season went on, sending home two impressive performers, Elliott With Two T’s and Tina Burner. Despite losing her opening lip sync to Gottmik, she quickly reemerged as a dark horse, especially thanks to an impressive sleeping-bag dress during the Bag Ball. The cast announcement introduced her as “the wacky, wavy, inflatable-arm-tube queen,” but not even that could’ve prepared us for the level of weird Utica Queen brought to the competition.

But despite some of road bumps in a sometimes interminable season that saw enough red, yellow, and orange for a lifetime of Drag Race runways, it makes me so excited to see what the next group of queens has in store.Īlso congrats to our Miss Congeniality, LaLa Ri! It literally couldn’t have happened to a nicer girl. ![]() Personally, I would have liked to see a double win for Gottmik and Symone, each of whom showed that this long-running franchise still has so much left to give to the world. Gottmik’s Paris Hilton impression is one of the most joyously rewatchable Snatch Game performances in Drag Race herstory, and that trench coat runway look (inspired by Disney’s Hercules, natch) is a master’s thesis in camp. The 23-year-old, who had already made her mark as Gigi Gorgeous’ makeup artist, consistently elevated the competition. “I was like, 'Girl, if cisgender men can be feminine, a trans guy can be feminine,” the Drag Race contestant says in a new interview.īut among the runners up, enough good things cannot be said about Gottmik, who did much more than break boundaries as the show’s first transmasculine contestant. ![]()
