- Bring back my all-stars.
- How have you grown
since you first walked into the work room?
- Well I've actually gotten shorter and wider.
So I've grown outwards mostly.
No, I feel like, when I first competed on "Drag Race,"
I didn't know who I was,
so I tried to be what I thought people wanted.
It's so weird to just say it out there,
but I wasn't very authentic in who I was
because I didn't know who I was.
But all these years later, I've been through so much.
I've done so much soul searching.
I could finally afford therapy,
that I finally know exactly who I am
and what I have to offer,
and I'm really just thrilled
to be able to show that to the world.
- I'm a decade older.
- I started wearing makeup.
It's actually just a little chapstick.
- I just wanted to come back
as who I was at the moment and at the time.
And I think, as drag queens, we're always evolving.
We're always trying something new
and taking what sticks.
What you're seeing is just the evolution of an artist.
- I think I'm a little less naive than I was before.
On season 12, nothing went to plan.
And I was like, "Oh, okay."
That's just my biggest fear come to life.
And now I'm like, "Okay, cool, I have nothing else to lose."
Let's go forward and enjoy my time,
not only in the competition, while I'm on stage,
but also in my life every single day.
I feel like that...
I'm much more rounded now.
- I traded my cockiness for confidence.
My confidence started to crumble
because I wasn't being successful at it.
There is no formula for this competition.
It's just to have fun and be who you are.
- What is the mistake
or a moment from your original season
that you're most hoping to redeem yourself from
this go-around?
- Baked potato couture.
(all laughing)
- But you know what?
If you're gonna fail, fail spectacularly
so people remember it.
- For me, definitely I'm trying to redeem...
I'm not necessarily consciously thinking
about redeeming myself from my attitude,
but I came back wanting to most definitely show myself
as an actual person,
as a person that actually has a heart,
and to show that I'm a queen that is also a queen of queens,
which means that I'm always with my girls in the room.
- I'm about my business.
I'm about having longevity in my career.
This gave me an opportunity
to show who I am now as an entertainer,
not as a person, not as a season 11 member.
It shows who I am as an entertainer now.
- I think that I was just so desperate.
I think that was just out of fear of not making it
or fear of not being seen.
Girl, everybody can see my big ass in the room.
I got nothing to worry about.
(all laughing)
- When you guys walked into the work room for this season,
who was the biggest surprise for you?
- Honestly, Serena,
because I just was like, "Whoa."
Serena has had a glow up,
and I love to see the drag progressing.
I remember she was not doing drag for that long.
And I hadn't seen her actual drag in a minute.
So to see her coming back in
and just to have a fully formed, "This is who I am,"
was really gaggy.
I was like, "Go off, Serena."
- I'm gonna go with Bianca.
- Yes, Bianca!
- Because she came into the work room as Bianca.
- Justice for Bianca!
- Jiggly wasn't there.
It was Bianca there.
I was so excited to see her.
I was so excited to actually meet her.
And I was excited for the world
to actually get a chance to meet her now also.
- Oh, my god, A'keria,
that is so real tea, baby.
- I was surprised to see only half the cast
when I got into the room.
And it's only because I'm wearing a hat that was so big
that I couldn't see the other half.
- Miss Thing, get out of here.
Get out of here.
- Scarlet, you had me thinking
we got a little spoiler for a moment
that I was gonna be able to break.
- When you ask what the surprise is,
it could be a good or bad surprise.
So it all depends on how we're being asked.
I think most people are answering Serena
because of probably my track record in the past, correct?
What I was excited to see
was that I'm in this group
with no one else from my season,
but I have my Yara Sophia.
I've got my Puerto Rican sister right here.
- I know it's no joke, it's hard as hell for you guys.
What makes you wanna come back?
- The money.
No. (all laughing)
- It's the passion.
It's the love of drag.
This is the world stage,
to get to showcase what you love to do the most.
- Who did you come into thinking,
"Okay, the competition's really heating up now.
"This is the b*tch I need to watch out for?"
Who was that?
- For me, Ginger was the one I was like,
"Oh, fucking god damn it."
I've worked with Ginger for so long.
We're in the same management.
And we even have our show together
called "Wigs in a Blanket."
So knowing how funny Ginger is,
knowing how talented she is,
and how quick her wit is,
I was like, "Why is this bitch here?"
You couldn't just let me get one fucking thing, bitch?
I was like, "Damn it."
- Who do you guys think is going
to surprise audiences most this season?
- Ra'jah Big D O'Hara.
I don't think that the audience gave her an opportunity
to show how talented she was.
- I think Ra'jah's gonna surprise people.
I also think Kylie is gonna surprise people.
- Yeah, I also have to say Ra'jah.
And also, hey, I'm gonna say me
'cause I also did not play around with my entrance look.
- I love your entrance look.
It's so beautiful.
- For me, I'm gonna go with Ra'jah O'Hara.
- We've gone Ra'jah a lot.
- I honestly do feel like, in this season,
you're gonna get to fall in love
with who Ra'jah O'Hara truly is,
the amazing entertainer that she is,
the amazing designer that she is.
- I would say Ra'jah too.
I think I also would say there's a lot of girls.
Sonique is very impressive.
Trinity's incredible.
Honestly, the cast is just fierce.
It's a redemption cast in general,
and it's just a lot of girls coming back
to show their heart and their energy
and their passion for drag.
It was a lot of fun to do because of it.
