Of course I care about what people think, particularly when it\u2019s a project I\u2019ve put all of me into.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What made me laugh a little bit and gave me some solace was the fact that I\u2019ve done this competition three previous times, and RuPaul hasn\u2019t had an issue putting me in the bottom, making me lip-sync for my life, and not giving me a crown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s never been an instance where I was favored throughout the past. Once I was announced for [All Stars 10], before the first scene of me ever rolled, the chatter started.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They built the narrative for themselves. It gave me a bit of peace.

There\u2019s always that unfinished business and you feel proud of what you\u2019ve done, and you immediately start turning it over in your head, there are so many options you didn\u2019t take, and you don\u2019t know which one would\u2019ve been the one to make you win or get you further.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I trusted myself for the first time in my life.
