Chad: Yeah! And in fact, we saw SO much of Dela in the workroom, so much of her fun humor, that I thought, "Wow, I wonder whether we're seeing her emerge as a serious contender?" Like, "Maybe the show is finally taking her seriously?"

Shea: She was so spot on! But I've realized that sometimes, when someone we love is about to go home, they get a lot of air time.

Chad: Honestly, all season, I've had this weird feeling that the producers weren't remotely interested in Dela. Like, even when she won, she was never really showered in praise, never given a moment to shine. And we never learned much about Ben!

Shea: I know! We get EVERYONE'S back story at one point or another. The only thing they talked about was the fact that Ben used to be overweight.

Chad: Yeah--it's really hard for me to say how much is the editing and how much is Dela--she's admitted that she is pretty guarded about Ben, even saying on "Whatcha Packin'?" that she prefers her boy self to remain in the shadows so that he doesn't distract from the cartoony personality of Dela.

Shea: I just wish we would have gotten a different angle on Ben besides the fact that she was this "character." I don't blame her for being guarded about her personal life. That's not a comfortable thing for everyone to talk about. Some individuals have really dark stuff in their pasts, and sometimes they prefer to look forward and not back.

Chad: Yeah, very well said.

Shea: Not everyone wants to capitalize on their personal pain to get professional success.

Chad: So, I wanted to talk about the two queens who, from the start, have pretty much dominated Season 6.

Shea: Bianca and Adore?

Chad: Yes, exactly. I've heard a lot of grumbling, even from Ru herself, that's it's CRAZY for a queen to come on the show if she doesn't know how to sew

Shea: YES. A girl NEEDS to know how to sew.

Chad: And you have an extensive background in costume design, right?

What are your thoughts on Adore, and specifically about her looks for the Glitter Ball?

Shea: In all honesty, I wasn't blown away by anyone's looks.

The ball challenge is my absolute FAVORITE challenge--it was the Hair Ball in Season 3 that made me WANT to do drag.

Chad: Yeah, I mean, it was Raja who got me drawing these damn queens to start with! But all season, it's been pretty clear that, among this cast of queens, there aren't many who could rival Raja on the runway. (Correction: there aren't any.) April Carrion had some fabulous looks, but her performance chops got her booted. Same with Milk!

So you weren't impressed with Adore's "diamond" look? Do you think she deserved the win?
