MTV News: When you realized that you would be competing against all these other New York girls this season, what went through your mind?: Walking into this I knew Brita and Jan. I knew a little bit about the other New York queens, but it was more just,"Cool. I have a very different approach to drag from the rest of these girls. And I'm just excited to do my thing."was the first time that you got into drag, and then you came up with the name Jackie in college.
The hardest challenge was definitely the one-queen show. because the parameters were so vague, and we were working with the queen of one-woman shows, Whoopi Goldberg. That was the hardest challenge. Even for the rest of my competitors in that moment, we were all,"This is it. It's us and whatever we can make happen in front of a live audience."Jackie:
The political debate got away from all of us. None of us really knew what we were doing. And certainly, I think [judges] Jeff [Goldblum] and Rachel [Bloom] had different ideas about what they were doing. And so, for me in that challenge, it was just about sticking with the character that I had walked in there with, because I wasn't really sure where we were going.I loved that challenge.
