Gottmik wouldve been crying too, she says, except I was on way too much testosterone.
That moment with RuPaul marked a final one.
But to hear her tell it, what she learned during the competition was more valuable.
And she became a fan favorite thanks to her fabulous confessionals and sweet moments with fellow queens.
Are you nervous, are you excited, whats your vibe right now?Im not nervous at all.
I think that is something I learned onDrag Race: There is no point being scared.
Im so proud of everything I did.
[Laughs] The secret is Valium.
No, Im just kidding.
I think its maybe because I went innotwith that attitude.
I went in so making sure I looked a certain way and said the right things.

But I tapped into my natural timing and my natural humor that I have.
One of your funniest and my favorite moments wasimpersonating Paris Hilton in Snatch Game.

Were you worried about offending her?I was a little bit worried.
I dont know her on like, the level of life.
So she wouldnt be mad, but I did want to be super-respectful at the same time.
I remember getting ready, and I was like,Okay, Snatch Games coming up.
And turns out she was, she lived!
What was that like for you?Oh my gosh, okay.
First of all, Snatch Game Day, I was full, like, a methodacteur.
I was in Paris Hilton mode since the makeup was on.
[Laughs] Im like a psycho when Im thinking of looks.
I love it though.
So as of this call we dont know who wins yet.
I came in and did what I needed to do and Im so proud of it.
I feel like I won with or without a crown.
But its so true.
