Yet they still had more to show this time around.
I think I learned that you dont know what tomorrow brings.
You may not be here tomorrow.
So you may as well live today fully.
I really think thats what changed.
Jujubee:I just feel more in the moment.
Which can sometimes drive me crazy, cause I like to get a little lost.
This time around, I was prepared to do anything and everything.
And I think that Im probably the most mentally strong, compared to my times before.
So thats what felt different for me.
And I was there to have fun!
It felt like meeting legends.
How did it feel to compete with her?Cracker:It was exhilarating!
Because you dont get to meet a true rival every day.
So to compete with the best of the best is exhilarating.
Jujubee:I seriously felt like grandma Barbie.
Just like Mariah Paris Balenciaga said!
So Alexis and I, yeah, were like the aunties that show up late to a backyard barbecue.
You take all the food and run away.
We were excited to be invited!
Like, Ill laugh before I say something.
Im glad that people can see that Im just being funny, Im being stupid.
Cracker:I went into season ten going, Im not going to be the Jewish queen!
Then I watched it, and I was like, Oh.
Im the Jewish queen!
Who are your influences?Cracker:Sarah Silverman.
My beauty icon is Nicole Kidman.
And Sarah Silverman is my comedy icon because she tackles so much political and social stuff.
And she makes a lot of mistakes, but she fixes it.
So we made [this Instagram] video to make fun of me, along with the world.
But it didnt turn out to be that bad!
It turned out to be okay.
Duringthe comedy challenge, Blair says, This is Miz Cracker in the club.
And thats really the key to you winning the challenge.
The show captures some of the live energy, but not all of it.
And all I have now is the internet.
But in that moment it worked out, and Im glad that it resonated with people.
And they could see how silly and incredibly stupid I am.
You also had some of the most amazing confessionals seen onDrag Race.
Thats what Im so grateful for.
Was it validating to go into the finale with a solid track record, between lip-sync and challenge wins?
Did that quell any self-doubt?Cracker:Im Jewish.
Ill always have anxiety about what Ive accomplished.
On coming back home
Cracker:I am building a Crackville.
So its like therapy, to reimagine them as these little places that Ive made, that are better.
I was cared for in my mothers house, in my godmothers house, in my grandmothers house.
I moved between those houses.
When I first sawHereditaryI was like, Thats me!
My cats get everything they want, and its all because of RuPaul, so thank you, Ru!
Like, I was looking forward to that.
