I was a bit nervous going into the challenge that they’d be a bit like… not offended, but annoyed that I couldn’t do it. And I was definitely that vibe in the episode, just stupid. We’re all there to have fun and realise that drag is just stupid. Even though I’m not doing anything perfect, that doesn’t matter. That’s the magic of drag, know what I mean? You’re meant to find the joy in it. You got negative critiques this episode, but they were the most positive and happy critiques?! RuPaul even said he enjoyed it “for all the wrong reasons” and that everyone was rooting for you. Embrace it.’ There’s gonna be mistakes, but that’s where TV magic is made, know what I mean? And I know we’re there to make a TV show. You’re not gonna get this experience again. As soon as we got the challenge I was like, ‘You just gotta enjoy it. A live singing musical? I couldn’t think of anything less me. I knew it wasn’t my strong suit, straight off the bat. There’s just nothing you can do in that situation. Like the judges said, it was so refreshing to see a queen mess up and not really care. Although you left this episode, you were so much fun to watch. I’m just happy that I showed who I actually was this time. I think, on Drag Race, you always have to be at 100, but I’m not that kind of person. That’s just the way I am quietly confident. I know I have this confidence issue or whatever, but that’s just me. Even the way I actually am, just out of drag, I was just not myself. The first time I was there, I didn’t get to show myself at all. As the UK’s Pork Chop, how does it feel to have had five episodes to show your growth? Well, condragulations on making it to five episodes! It feels like there was some acceptance there, right? I’m good thank you, how are you? Well, I’ve just been eliminated so not that good! You took it so well, though. (And have more camera time, which was a given considering her Pork Chop status.)Ĭontinue reading for our full interview with Gothy Kendoll, where she reminisces on the horrors of the Snatch Game – which she describes as one of the “worst days” of her life – the behind-the-scenes moments that she wanted to make the final edit and the queens she hopes to appear with on that much-rumoured first-outs season. ‘Queen of the Mothertucking’ may not be a title that Gothy can include on her resume, but whatever: it was more important for her to do what she didn’t the first time around, and that was to have fun and be “fully” herself. With this week marking her third stint in the bottom, Gothy’s fate was sealed when Marina Summers, who defeated Tia Kofi in the lip-sync smackdown to become the series’ first two-time RuPeter Badge winner, revealed her lippy. “A live singing musical? I couldn’t think of anything less me,” laughs Gothy, who openly admits that she’s not the kind of performer that’s required for the acting, dancing and singing challenge structure of Drag Race. They also had to concoct their own choreography, which was a bit unusual for a Rusical (budget, maybe?). It was a backbreaker of a challenge, with the queens having to pen lyrics about their Drag Racejourney and sing slash rap live. The OG British Pork Chop was – spoiler alert, obviously – eliminated in the latest episode, which saw the seven remaining contestants compete in a girl group challenge slash Rusical hybrid – inspired by West End’s iconic SIX The Musical. “I was living on borrowed time,” she admits of her trajectory on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs the World. Gothy Kendoll is the current reigning queen of self-awareness.
