- Auntie Maxine Shield.
Oh, I'm so glad the asteroid didn't wipe you out
with the rest of the dinosaurs.
(Zotti exclaims)
Oddly enough, Cocoa Jumbo is the
first queen I ever saw in drag.
- Last thing I want to know from you.
- Yes?
- Who are you going to do on Snatch Game?
(upbeat jazzy music)
Hello and welcome to Drag 'n Dine.
A weekly drag race elimination show where we sit down
with the eliminated queen from Drag Race: Down Under.
And today I'm with the lovely Jojo Zaho!
Is she though?
- Hi! Absolutely.
- Now Jojo, sad to see you go,
but glad to see you come in today.
- Well, I'm so happy to be here with Buzzfeed.
Oh my God.
(both laugh)
- And you brought in a little snack for us.
- I did.
- Which is behind our chairs.
Let's whip it out!
(Zotti laughs)
- This dress is too tight.
So we've got Chicken Twisties.
- Not sponsored.
- No, not at all.
I mean, if you want to send me a couple of boxes,
Twistie that would be great.
I'd love these for as long as I can remember.
They're my favorite.
Like growing up, we didn't have a lot of money.
So like, you know it was a good week
when you had Twisties in your lunch box.
- The little packets?
- The little ones.
- Yeah.
- How would I describe a Twistie?
It's kind of like of like cheese puffs
but not as fluffy or crushable.
They're just delicious.
- Let's do it.
(both crunch)
- Mmm.
- Let's dive into our the entrance looks.
So first up, Art Simone.
- Ooh, Art Simone.
I love her outfit.
Like over the years, I've gotten to know her
and she gives you no reason to hate her
which makes you want to hate her.
She's just lovable.
Like she's such a bogan wombat and I'm gonna kill her.
- Next up, Maxi Shield.
- We love a deep v
and she didn't stand on her chiffon.
(both laugh)
- Let's talk through your entrance look.
- My entrance look, hated it.
No...
(Zotti laughs)
I have a love, hate relationship with it
because I made it and the plastic is so hard to sew.
And then I had to feed wire in
through the bottom of the skirt to get it to fit right.
But the story behind my outfit was
my drag, it's often quite housewife-y.
So I wanted to kind of give like a housewife-y silhouette
and then show like the whole underneath
while still throwing in the indigenous color.
Give her a little homage without having just a flag dress.
- If that first challenge was a sewing challenge.
- I'd still be there.
(both laugh)
- Coco Jumbo.
- Oddly enough,
Coco Jumbo is the first queen I ever saw in drag.
God, she's a delicious snack.
I live for her.
We're not even, she's a full on buffet.
Like I loved her look like it was, it was simple
but not in a bad way.
It was simple.
It was clean.
And she looks so good in purple.
- And the queen, Kita Mean.
- Ooh, Kita Mean.
An absolute acid trip.
Like I know it's Kita Mean,
but acid all the way.
But I loved her look.
I absolutely adored it.
It was very kind of Polly Pocket
or like diner waitress
and I was here for it.
- The lovely Etcetera Etcetera.
- Yes. The bug queen herself.
(both laugh)
When she walked in, I lost it.
Like, what I love about her is her drag
is just her own little bubble.
Like it's just whatever she's feeling internally.
It's like, she puts it externally,
but I lived for the cockroach
and her broken antler
or antenna, antler, antenna.
One of them.
- Either.
Antler.
She's a deer now.
(both laugh)
Next up, we had Anita Wigl'it.
- Anita Wigl'it came out of the womb doing jazz hands.
- Finally, Karen from Finance.
The big dog.
- Yes. I didn't get around to taking her outfit.
She stole my land, it's only fair I take her costume.
(Zotti exclaims)
It is beautiful, like a "9 to 5" moment.
Like, the hat, it's Karen to a tee.
I have so much time for that queen.
- Okay, so this week,
the Maxine Challenge was a get-to-know-you ball.
So there was two categories on the runway.
Let's talk about your first look, the born naked look.
- I know it seems simple, but I liked that outfit.
The one, one thing that I would have loved to have put
on there was the traditional ceremonial body paint,
but I don't quite know it.
When my father passed away,
I lost my connection to my culture.
So I'm still kind of learning that
and I didn't feel comfortable putting it on there
without kind of earning the right to put it on there.
Growing up, I grew up in a very white town
and I didn't quite like the fact
that I couldn't hide who I was.
Like, it was the first thing you see
is the color of my skin.
And then I kind of got through life
and when I accepted that.
I loved it.
I embraced who I was and then, plot twist,
I like penis.
(Zotti laughs)
Some parts of the community, you know,
men still need to be men
and men's business and stuff.
And so it's a tricky time to never get there as well.
One of the main reasons that I do drag
to show you that, okay, you can have both worlds together.
They can be harmonious.
And as cliche as it sounds, it does get better.
- And talking about culture,
you really showed us everything with your second look.
So that for the no place like home runway,
I mean, I'm sorry.
That was iconic.
- Thank you.
- And that was the outfit you made yourself, right?
- Yeah, so I made that myself.
I wanted to showcase more than just my hometown.
I wanted to showcase that Australia is my home,
the rich indigenous history that we have.
I wanted to show
both the dark history and the black future.
And I'm so glad that I got to show both of them together
because even though I did go home first,
I'm so happy with what I got to put out there
because all within that short space
I got to showcase the core message that I wanted to showcase
on my time there in such a short amount of time.
- Now to end things on a positive note.
One of my favorite challenges of all time is
the Reading Challenge.
- Ooh.
- We thought we could open up the library.
- Coco Jumbo, you are such a snack-whore.
If you were a rapper, you'd be Little Crumb Dumb.
(Zotti laughs)
Auntie Maxine Shields.
Oh, I'm so glad the asteroid didn't wipe you out
with the rest of the dinosaurs.
(Zottie laughs)
Anita Wigl'it.
You need to wiggle it the fuck out of here.
(Zottie laughs)
- Last thing I wanna know from you.
- Yes?
- Who are you gonna do in Snatch Game?
- Ernie Dingo was my Snatch Game.
My back up was Cathy Freeman
and my lovely third alternate
was going to be Pauline Hanson.
(Zotti laughs)
- All right.
Thank you for coming in and doing this with us today.
- Thank you for having me.
It's been a pleasure.
