I think it might be my all-time favorite talent show in the history ofDrag Race.
What was the inspiration?
YARA SOFIA:Well, my mother used to clean the house shaking everything she had.

Everything was jiggling out.
I remember seeing her titties, so, that’s my inspiration: My mom’s titties.
She was cleaning and shaking everything without the bra!

I only saw her titties, so, that’s my inspiration!
How much did that breastplate weigh?
But it feels like 25.
I haven’t weighed it.
I’m just guessing!
They’re like 15 or 12.
You’re going to injure yourself with those.
Why did you want to play the game like that?
I only said that word because I wanted to say it.
But, Serena had better makeup and hair.
[I wasn’t voting] strategically.
Do you think that put a target on your back since you went against the group consensus?
Because they all voted for Serena.
I didn’t vote strategically.
A strategy would be that I voted for Trinity.
Well, oh, yeah, that’s true.
But, it wasn’t strategy, just because based on that challenges, Serena seemed better.
It wasn’t because Trinity was a good competitor; Serena looked better in my eyes!
Do you agree or you don’t agree?
I personally think Trinity looked better.
Don’t lie to me!
You know it’s not true!
Let me say this: Trinity is beautiful…. based on the challenge, both were bad.
Based on how they looked, I think Serena looked better in the Werk Room.
Did you put a lot of work into your ball looks?
I was the only one having fun!
I don’t agree, but I respect the decision….
I liked what I saw.
The worst was my first look where I had the big titties.
That was the reason I was in the bottom.
What I said was: “Well, it’s just like animal print.
I didn’t want to kill jeans!”
If PETA was a judge there, she’d give [the win] to me!
I wanted to be pro-jeans!
I didn’t want to kill jeans!
If you have animal print, you didn’t want to kill the animals!
I’m not going to cut it out and look like Medusa or a baked potato with aluminum!
So, that’s what happened.
What do you do as part of your Shakira act that made you confident in this challenge?
I’m a huge fan.
The only thing that hurt me is belly dancing; it’s kind of a woman dance.
It’s not a male dance.
It’s a hips thing.
I’m a man!
That was the only thing holding me back.
I have her down!
I don’t think the performance was bad at all.
And, later, you said that your focus wasn’t there.
The stage was high!
I probably had vertigo at the time.
It had a curse on it!
Let’s go with that.
Does it have a f—ing ghost or something?
Throw that stage in the trash!
Was this a regular occurrence?
We all do that!
If they showed me, [blame it on] the ghost, too!
I hate the ghost!
The ghost edited that in there?
Honestly, we all do that!
I do that every week.
It’s a Werk Room, we’re all changing and stuff….
I’m always naked or having fun!
This is my third time, so, I came to enjoy it!
It’s clear that you came to enjoy it.
You came off so well, and a lot of people enjoyed you this season.
I knew A’Keria would have backup.
The only thing that would save me was Jan.
I knew A’Keria would have backup [because there are so many queens] from season 11.
The group would’ve voted for me to go home [either way].
I don’t know how many queens voted for me, but I heard it was everybody….
I thought about it, but the only option for me was Jan.
If I pleaded my case, they’d still vote for A’Keria [to stay].
Queens say they’ll vote fairly, but it always happens.
Not everybody plays the same game…. And this was A’Keria’s second time in a row in the bottom.
Why did you have that feeling that they wouldn’t have saved you?
I don’t know!
I just had that feeling….
I didn’t know who was the lip-sync assassin, I suspected it would be Jessica.
I’m telling you, I’m a witch!
Probably that affected me, [like I was] ahead of time or a clairvoyant.
That’s what I saw.
I believe I conjured the situation.
I said, can you imagine if they have Jessica today?
I let that affect my pleading or begging to stay.
I went ahead, inmyhead.
And it happened how I suspected!
I was staying with Jessica before going to the competition…. She’s one of my best friends.
I was living with her while doing all the stuff for the season.
I’m not mad!
I had fun with it!
[Laughs] This is my third time, I had a blast, I was thankful for everything.
It’s just a game.
It’s not reality!
It is reality, but, you know what I’m saying.
We’re making good TV!
I like it and I’m blessed!
[Laughs] I was joking.
Have fun, it’s not personal, it’s drag!
F— you all because, honestly, f— you all!
It’s weird that that comes from me, because I’m congenial with everybody!
No one would expect that from sweet little Yara.
I hope you go toYaraSofia.comand get all my merch.
I can’t wait to see it.
