RU-United Special
The last eliminated contestant we'll hear from is an ATRL Drag Race veteran. She not only competed in both seasons, but made it to the top 5 (kinda) both times and won Miss Congeniality last season. A queen known for her kindness and her DID, please welcome…
Carmen Scarlett the Cow!
Chanel: You managed to snatch an average of 0.66, breaking a record for contestants not eliminated in the first episode. With that being your latest impact, how do you feel about this?
I feel great about it. I wish my comeback entry counted as a win though! Surely a 0.66 average can’t matter that much when I still managed to come in and snatch that joint fifth place ![eli's_rhythm](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/eli_zps0932edf9.gif) But yeah, this season I feel a bit like the April Carrion of the season - not because she’s one of my favourite queens and many feel like they were eliminated prematurely, but because I feel like I’m a talented person who really tried their hardest with every challenge, and it just wasn’t enough for this season. I don’t really know what the judges were looking for but I really feel like I put everything into each entry (I kinda think my Sissy That Lip-sync and Library are great) so I just don’t feel like this season was right for me. I’d rather not be remembered for my average, but remembered for the fact that I got fifth place for only doing four entries.
Carrie: You experienced a sort of identity crisis this season. What do you see as the key differences between Carmen Scarlett and Judith the Cow? When you audition for S3 of ADR, will you do so as Carmen or Judith?
I did? I guess the key difference with Carmen and Judith with me is that Carmen is very open and has a lot of weakness because of everything I’ve been through, so Carmen’s character is a lot closer to me. I wanted to come into this season with a strong bold character who was fierce and fearless, so I created Judith the Cow, and I guess it didn’t turn out too well. I think I’m more suited to being sensitive. Carmen is really close to home so it’s definitely a lot more of me in there, which is why I was really quick to go back to it when I realised Judith was a mistake, even if it didn’t stick very well. I definitely think I’d like to be remembered as being Judith for this season though. It sort of matches how I was feeling at the time. When I audition for S3 of ADR, I doubt I’ll be let on to be honest ![too funny](images/smilies/images/smilies/priceless.gif) I’m not too sure yet. I think I need more time to become polished, plus I’m really starting to hate the name Carmen Scarlett. I’m brainstorming.
Carrie: You won Miss Congeniality last season and are known today for your kindhearted nature. But be honest here: which of the final 3 contestants should snatch the crown tonight?
I did win Miss Congeniality last season, and I’m really hoping to win it again this year. I’m just really thankful if I’m known for my kindhearted nature because if there’s anything I’ve wanted to do, then it’s just to get along. I never want to hurt anyone’s feelings or anything, so I’m always anxious about it!
I’d really love to see PEA Enculo snatch the crown. Easily the most talented and funniest contestant this season.
Chanel: Judith, you do know PEA went home two weeks ago right?
In all honesty, I would like to see Koko take the crown. It’s ironic given that two weeks ago I was writing a list of all the reasons why PEA should have stayed over Koko given that Koko’s run isn’t as incredible as the others, but if Koko can make it this far then I would really love to see her go all the way now. She’s shown the most growth out of everyone and it makes me so happy to watch her now because we are definitely seeing a star in the making, and she’s so sickening and has so much talent. I really think Koko should be rewarded for everything she’s put into this competition. I just feel really proud of how far Koko has come and I completely feel like she deserves it.
Good luck to everyone!
I love you all ♡

And now, before we move on to the top 3’s questions, we bring to you a quick glimpse at Citrus in the middle of his decision-making process for the final outcomes!:
Now, back to the questions!
Hold for our first finalist! xoxo

Queens who slay the runway seem to make a habit of being the best-performing queen of the season, at least, in this show. But the thing that people don't realize, especially here, is that we're not SOLELY look queens, as we tend to slay pretty much every challenge. Being top 3 for seven weeks (!), this next queen slayed everything from the ball, to a news show, to Snatch Game, truly being the epitome of a jack-of-all-trades. Please welcome to the stage...
Finalist Aciid Rose!
FINAL CROWNING LOOK
![](http://i.imgur.com/vH7De7m.png)
Carrie: You’ve had the most successful run in ADR history: you spent one week low, one week safe, and all the rest were WIN or HIGH. Do you think this impressive run makes you more deserving of the crown than the other girls?
Yes I do, to be completely honest. I think it's a great feat, specially considering the big personalities last season. Having the best score and ranking yet is an honor, and I worked really hard for it. I put so much time and dedication into this competition that it resembles on my run. The ultimate reward for that would be winning, that would mean everything payed off.
Chanel: Despite your particularly flawless run, you had a minor critique that you weren’t completely there as a person. Looking back, do you think there would be any further ways to tell the world (and the judge’s panel) who Aciid Rose is?
I do not know where this came from at all. I did put myself out there. Me and Pea were the ones to put themselves on their character 100%. I created an identity, a cohesive drag persona that reflected everything I am as a person. I opened myself several times, particularly my book, my response to critiques and recently my tic tac lunch. I was the second biggest poster in the thread. I reached out to most of the cast to talk to them. I showed my type of personality in several ways. I was more here as a person than anybody but Pea. So idk what you want Michelle Visage!
Chanel: You had a very strong relationship with Pea before she was eliminated. How did this odd friendship being to develop (especially since you embody pretty much everything she hates about drag queens)? Did her going home impact your performance in the end?
I talked about this in my lunch. Me and Pea go a long way back. We are extremely close, and while our taste in drag is the extreme of one another, we share a deep bond that I can't really explain. We click, and just like we are different in some ways, we are the same in others. We just complement each other. And as for her leaving impacting my finale performance, she kinda did. I explained that I got severely sick, and I was a bit shaken by her departure from the game. So it was a mix of that.
Chanel: You’ve mentioned multiple times that you entered this game planning on not staying long, either by being eliminated or quitting within the first couple of weeks. Reflecting back on that, is there part of you that still wishes you had let that happen? What did staying in the game do for you?
Absolutely not. I don't regret anything, I had so much fun doing this. I never imagined it would be such a ride. This game became like a hobby to me. While my working field is creative, I don't get to do what I want most of the time. This let me embody the vision I had for myself as a drag queen and that's ****ing neat. It also let me experiment. Like mixing clothes together, faces, hair etc. It isn't something I had done before. I learned a lot of things through my run, whether you believe it or not. And the challenges were so fun. I enjoyed doing the lip sync challenge for example, and the awards were such a mess. I loved everything, so thank you Citrus and judges.
Bitch, you know what? I'm so happy you made it on this show, didn't quit, and made it to the finale. Like I said in your intro, you make us "look queens" (Hi, Koko) proud. You've been a joy to see, and I wish you the best of luck for tonight.

I often think of our next queen as the runaway queen. First, she ran away from the House of Messiah to live with her Aunt LuBelle Patty, where she formed her own identity as a fashion-forward queen with a futuristic edge. She then joined Drag Race season 2 and ran away with the competition ![eli's_rhythm](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/eli_zps0932edf9.gif) Please welcome your next S2 finalist...
Carbön!
Carrie: One of your signature moves this season was drawing your runway looks. Can you tell us a bit about your history as an artist? You mentioned in the finale that you don’t draw outside of the game, so what inspired you to go that route? Did you draw as a child?
I most definitely had a weeaboo phase in high school and did quite a bit of doodling then, but that was a very long time ago, and isn't a thing I do right now. I took this route for my runways initially because it was just the easiest way to translate what looks I had on my head onto the screen, before it eventually became "well, why not?". It was a way to challenge myself every week, where I succeeded some weeks, and failed in others.
Chanel: You expressed, moreso than anyone, the stress that the game seemed to put on you as a person as you tried to come out of “mediocrity” (a Chanel in weeks 5-9 tea) compared to others. In spite of this, you were in the top 3 for a majority of the season and still have a higher average than every girl last season. Are there any further thoughts on this you have to get out? Do you think this is something you may struggle with in the future?
Well, I guess I can't argue with the receipts. ![Gay Cat](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/random/cat_zpsebvh5uip.png) I suppose given the opportunity, I'd like to clarify that despite what may have been suggested, I've never wanted Aciid to fail just so I could do well. My frustration within the competition was born from wanting to do better for myself, rather than everyone else doing worse so I can look good. That's a gross mentality.
Chanel: Writing (as demonstrated in your Bio Queens and final entries) seems to be a strong suit of yours. Is this something you’ve pursuited in the past, or care to pursuit in the future?
Again, not really! I mean, I did English Literature at A-level and got an A if that counts? My more recent track record in the game section has been quite good in games that require a bit of waffling, like Platinum Hit or CTATAS. I've become close recently with Chanel as well, so I guess she's also rubbed off on me when it comes to being verbose. The impact!
Carrie: Your ADR journey actually began last season, when you were dragged up by yours truly, Season 1 winner Carrie Messiah. Did your short experience in S1 in any way prepare you for what was to come in S2?
It prepared me to be a winner.
