Drag Race winner Yvie Oddly has revealed that her All Stars 7 experience “was pretty gruesome from the start”. The highly anticipated instalment featured very little negative critiques from the judges and saw none of the contestants go home, with RuPaul instead adopting a points-based system.
During her run on the season, Yvie managed to win one challenge and rack up a total of two stars by the finale. Fans have praised how far she has come since her first appearance on the show, with many admiring her heightened runways and lip-syncing abilities, among other things.
However, with All Stars 7 now being over and Jinkx Monsoon being crowned the winner, Yvie has spoken out about the “REAL journey” the queens experienced. “I truly wish you could’ve seen even a quarter of the REAL journey we experienced together (instead of all the strategy bs),” she wrote on Instagram. “But I guess that’s what I get for participating in a ‘celebratory’ season of a global reality television franchise.
In the end I’m happy you all enjoyed our hard work and harder play.” The star further explained their points in a follow-up post.
