You got emotional inUntuckedand said you were gobsmacked by the critiques.
Do you think your elimination was fair and the critiques were justified?
I do, absolutely.

I was in the top four in my mind.
My drag has changed so much, Ive evolved so much as a queen.
Suzie Tootnowwouldve mopped that challenge.
I expected to be vindicated, but, watching the episode, theyre kind of right.
Did you feel uncomfortable in the showgirl aesthetic, doing a Las Vegas-style showgirl number?
I latched on to the unique style part.

Your relationship with the cast had fans talking.
It never seemed overly contentious, but many hinted at discrepancies.
Can you explain that, and why you think you bothered them so much?

Its fascinating, because most of it was in fun and in jest.
I love those girls.
Thats how I joke with my friends back home.
Fans pointed out that Lexi seemed particularly bothered.
What dont we know about your relationship together, and what are things like between you now?
Lexi and I are very cool.
I love that monster!
She spelled it out in the makeover episode and told me recently that she had college scholarships for theater.
Its a profound thing, and difficult to capture all of that on television.

Was there anything you heard in the confessionals that surprised you?
In the confessional, suddenly Im the C-E-hoe, which is crazy.
[Laughs] Its hilarious, its so good.
I have not had a conversation with Mrs. Tuck.
I dont harbor ill will at all.
I think Ive learned her taste by now, and I think shed like it.
“Though I might have my opinions of the character from the show, I wish her well!
I do in fact follow her now.")
Did you get her address through Jewels and Sam?
Its so funny that Jewels and Sam have this connection to her.
[Laughs] Absolutely!
I sent one to Willam, I sent one to Lexi.
I want it to be a big thing.
People say it all the time, so I figured Id give them a uniform to wear.
Who takes it, for you?
The two names thrown around were Joella and her iconic mattress, and Lucky Starzzzs elimination look.
What I brought up is that Lucky made that outfit here, and Joella brought hers from home.
Therefore, the scale 100 percent tips in Joellas favor.
She has to be the boot of the season.
Lexi and Sam both had some dogs— outfits, so some of their stuff was in contention!
Whats next for you?
Its only the beginning of the millions of things I want to do.
Theres a one-woman show.
We have dates set for Provincetown that we plan to take it all over the country and perhaps internationally.
Theres also a Suzie Toot YouTube channel thatll be coming out more regularly once the season is over.
A film is in the works, its being made right now!
