      This is what touched me the most. Yvie has in abundance that same thing all these queens have, and that is a zest for life...They take life by the hand, and just pull it along with them wherever they go. And for myself, someone who is older, and has many issues with health, the cruelest of disabilities I feel, is the ones that take away your ability to interact with life, and other people, and animals/pets, yet at the same time be mentally still fully sharp, and realizing what is happening to you. Like Muscular Dystrophies, and Alzheimers, and Multiple Sclerosis, and so many that the bodies loss of ability to interact with the world, yet still having a mind to realize at the same time what is happening to you has got to be the saddest. So, when Yvie who is so boldly unique, and so out there when it comes to loving life itself ( i mean just listen to her laugh ), yet knowing that the loss of mobility being an inevitability is just heart crushing to me.

    Ben did such a great job moderating this discussion. You could tell he was a genuine fan of the show and knows the queens. His sharing how the show was important to him as a young queer person interested in the arts opened the door for some vulnerability from the cast. I was especially touched by how they supported each other when they were sharing about their experiences, challenges and triumphs. As winners of Drag Race they share a common experience and doing this legend's season is something that obviously bonded them.
    Nicki Doll being in the audience was the gag of the whole interview. It was sweet to see her and The Vivienne share a laugh and an embrace.
    I'm not sure if a second winner's season will be able to top this one (even though we've only seen three episodes). I think there are some queens who will choose not to compete again although fans would love to see them; like Sasha, Trixie and Bianca, which will likely be perceived as disappointing by some fans. So in some ways if you are a winner, this was the season to be on as other seasons aren't likely to be as well received.

      Trixie is kind of confusing to me because she has said she won't go back multiple times but when she got a call she said no because she was busy with a lot of stuff but she made the producers promise her that they will call her again if they make another all winners season. Maybe she is open for all winners???

    They way they all physically touch & support each other throughout is so indicative of what a genuine family they have become. Raja & Viv kissing on the lips. I know their love of Westwood is very bonding. Theres not a weak link or filler in this bunch they all have both the talent & the personalities. They are all true winners no matter who wins this season. I feel drag race really needed a season with zero negativity or toxicity. I dont want it for the normal seasons but the winners season deserves that respect.

    I super love Yvie's laugh. She's such a cool girl just naturally, and so many people that are trying to be cool for some reason feel like it's cool to withhold laughter and joy for some stoic ideal of aloofness or as though by laughing at someone else you elevate the person you laugh thus making you feel lower by comparison, who knows, I always hate to see it - on the other hand, it's so beautiful and refreshing to see someone radically reject that and be themselves. I think there is something so carefree and effortless about someone who isn't afraid to laugh with people and at themselves and Yvie embodies that so effortlessly. She's a gem!
