ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It was sad to see you go, unfortunately it was another design challenge.
It appeared that you questioned at the beginning, what your look would be.
What was your original vision, and how long had you spent on the original design before switching?

I started to second-guess.
Everybody was working on big garments.
I was like, should I go big?

It just didnt play out in my favor.
What made you put your guard up so fast?
I knew she was trying to play the game no matter what the cost was.
I was like, no, take your helicopter airplane wings over there and find another target.
Im keeping this fabric just because you want it.
I found out when you all found out.
I didnt know what she said.
I was laughing, I wish I wouldve known what she said so I couldve read her in Spanish.
What would you have said?
Something like, Puta sucio culo abierto.
Are you going to tell me what that means?
It just means that shes a whore and her butt is really open.
Its not going to hurt my feelings, I grew up in the pageant world.
Law Roach read you all on the runway.
I feel like I can tell the difference now between a happy Geneva face and a plucked Geneva face.
I was like, damn, I guess I auditioned for the wrong show.
Can I really be mad?
Because, from the neck up he kind of complimented me.
From the neck down, it can be adjusted….
I was pissed, like, “Okay, dont pull the wig, Geneva.”
What would you have done if Hershii did that, because she said she considered it.
A friendly turn-over, turning over a new leaf, as Plane would say, in a friendly way.
I wouldnt have injured her, but of course gotten her off of me!
It was sweet when you gave Mhiya a long kiss after the lip-sync.
Why that was the gesture you wanted to give her in that moment?
What ran through your head as Ru made the decision?
That weighed on my mind in the competition.
Im glad to hear hes okay.
Why not?I did consider doing the leg hair for the doll challenge.
Do I focus on my legs and not finish my makeup?
Theres alwaysAll Stars, right?
You and Xunami opened up about being DACA queens.
They show me their DACA cards and theyre like, Take a picture with me with the card!
But, if its your dream, follow your dreams, never give up.
Ive certainly never given up.
Im proof of the American dream that my parents set out for myself.
