“I think Ive been through a lot as an artist, I dont need to prove more.
You know what Jessica Wild can offer,” the All Stars 8 queen tells EW.
That’s your decision, fine.

If you don’t grab my lipstick, thank you!
The four of us, we did great in the roast.
I remember one day, one of my outfits didn’t fit, and she helped me fit it.

She let me borrow one of her wigs.
She was helping everybody there, not just me.
Alexis is sweet, it’s just that things happen in the competition.
When you’re competing, you become a different person sometimes, and you want to survive.
It’s unfortunate that we see the fandom interpret things that aren’t there.
That I was annoyed?
I don’t share [the memes] in case that’s going to support a bully or something.
I called Alexis and I [asked] her, “How do you feel?”
Because, to me, it’s hilarious.
I love all of them, they’re super funny and I live for them.
That’s the way that I’m taking all of this.
My facial expressions, I love them.
But, I think I do them all the time when people are talking to me.
You learn stuff from yourself.
I don’t see myself 24 hours in front of the mirror.
Maybe it was just a concerned face.
You weren’t really annoyed?
No, because she was crying a lot!
I don’t know, maybe I was.
I just love it, and this is a show.
I cry if it’s something really emotional, but Alexis is emotional 24 hours, you know?
Your subject looked gorgeous, but the judges pointed out that you had her in a very sensible boot.
Was there more to that story?
At this point, they need to find details to tell you something, and there are no excuses.
But, my poor Kitty Wild, she had little feet!
I’m thankful that she didn’t wear others that were horrible, and she was comfortable.
I was just thinking of her.
But, I’m not going to wear flip-flops because she can’t walk in heels.
Send me home looking great, you know?
How did you feel the moment Kandy pulled your lipstick?
I was ready for any decision.
I love myself and I did a great job, but Jimbo had four wins.
I think it was fair to Jimbo because of the winnings.
It was Jimbo’s first time in the bottom.
As much as I want this, Jimbo deserves it , too.
I’m a fair person.
I’m going home because an amazing entertainer is taking that place….
It’s not like Kandy broke my heart.
I took it as a joke, like, “F— you, Kandy!”
It was going to be amazing for me to fight for the crown.
Right, you don’t need a crown to represent well for people.
But, it feels good, more than the money: the title.
It’s a life experience.
It’s a title that you are the Drag Superstar, andRuPaulrepresentation is an honor…. Did you also hope for that?
No, I was ready for eliminations.
I was ready for all of this.
I think people love this format.
The lip-sync, who’s going home, I think it’s great.
I’ve been through a lot.
Don’t invite me to anything to send me home again.
Maybe we just need a whole Jessica Wild show?
Or maybe aDrag Race Puerto RicoorCaribbean.
Call me and I will be there.
You know what Jessica Wild can offer.
You would hostDrag Race Puerto Ricoif they asked?
Yes, of course.
And I think I will give the mother image, like RuPaul.
Because I have a trajectory!
Did you have those same anxieties going intoAll Stars 8?
It feels better because I was more secure.
Now, I don’t care if I don’t know a word.
I’m going to find another word.
If I need time to think and translate in my head, I’m going to take that time.
I’m more comfy.
It was very difficult because I was speaking Spanish all the time.
Through these years, I pushed myself to talk more in English.
It’s not perfect, but I don’t need to be perfect.
I went toAll Starsmore concerned about challenges and not how I sound.
Even if you’re talking fast, I understand what you’re saying.
I speak two languages; I can survive in English TV or Spanish TV.
Let’s do this.
