ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How are you both holding up?

Are you both feeling okay especially you, Veronica, you’re all recovered?

VERONICA GREEN:As far as my recovery is concerned, I’m doing well.

Thankfully, when I tested positive, I only had a mild case of it.

I certainly didn’t suffer, and I recovered after 10 days!

You’d been a strong contender for the crown up until this point.

At what point in the break did you discover you had the virus, and what were your symptoms?

GREEN:I found out two days before we were to go back.

We had to self-isolate in our homes for a two-week period, and I live with five others.

He brought the virus back with him.

He went on a Monday, came back on a Wednesday, started feeling ill on a Friday.

On Sunday, that was when I started to get a bit of a sore throat.

On Tuesday I had my test, Thursday I got my results, and it was devastating.

What were you feeling the moment you found out you couldn’t return?

GREEN:The results were sent to production first, so they informed me.

I didn’t know how to process the information.

I thought it was a joke.

When it sank in, I burst into tears.

I was sad for a few days.

GREEN:Formally, I haven’t accepted the offer yet [laughs].

Hopefully you do, lots of people would love to see you back on TV!

JOE BLACK:I certainly would!

GREEN:I do think my journey isn’t complete.

It was cut short and there were things beyond my control that made me withdraw.

The opportunity to go back is something I’m interested in.

BLACK:I wouldn’t say my time on the show was good fortune!

[Laughs] But, no, I think the plan was that someone would come back anyway….

The idea of having taken Veronica’s place, the guilt would’ve eaten me up!

We were just lovely additional, after-lockdown guests!

Did you all learn about the seriousness of the pandemic from RuPaul?

Did you have any idea that the outside world was as chaotic as it was during filming?

My experience was a bit different from the other queens'.

When production stopped, that was when it was brought to my attention.

The tubes were like28 Days Later…. Nobody on the streets!

I thought I’d come back to an alternate reality.

BLACK:TheDrag Racebubble!

When I came out, you couldn’t find a toilet roll!

It was nice to see everyone back and that excitement of human interaction again.

We do see some new faces especially Asttina’s facial hair.

What did we think of that and Sister Sister’s new teeth?

GREEN: Some people came back with literally new faces!

BLACK:Some of us were content with our old ones, though!

Asttina knows what she’s doing.

Especially the David Bowie outfit.

What was going through your mind when you received bad critiques for those?

So, I moved it over and did something brighter than a bleak, windy, covered-in-bird-droppings seaside look!

I think the look screamed Bowie, and apparently the rest of the internet did as well!

That was lovely that everyone [supported me] both of my times there.

It’s fortunate for someone so briefly on television for both appearances to have controversies!

Speaking of strange exits: Ginny Lemon!

Veronica, can you describe watching that happen in the moment?

You all had no idea?

GREEN:Absolutely no idea what was happening!

I thought I’d be in the bottom with Sister.

But that was their way of saying her goodbyes to everybody!

Of course, the H&M dress did you in!

What prompted you admit that it was from H&M?

It’s slightly,slightlybetter!"

I wasn’t intending to make anyone angry.

I was being cheeky, which apparently incited a deep fire within RuPaul [Laughs].

It’s great TV!

I’d wear it again in a heartbeat!

The runways are yours!

Pop is very out of my comfort zone.

Pop people wear short pink dresses!

That was my thought.

But, I had it before going in.

GREEN:I loved it!

I’d have it happen again and again so that we can be award-winning reality TV!

The pandemic is such a big theme of the episode.

GREEN:This situation completely wiped out everything I’d built up, career-wise.

I’m also a singer and a singing waiter, and all of my gigs [were] canceled.

The industry was collapsing.

I felt helpless and alone.

I had a hard time financially and mentally, and it took me a long time to recover.

BLACK:I came back from being eliminated to emails about no shows, nothing.

I moved to online shows for tips.

As far as I was concerned, my journey was done.

I actually sold some of my runway challenge looks.

Which is really helpful, right?

Hopefully this all leads to a contract with H&M!

BLACK:Well, theyhavereached out!

Not necessarily about a contract, but I think I might be receiving some gifts.

They slid into my DMs!
