3. SOUNDBITE (English) Carson Kressley, television personality and judge, "RuPaul’s Drag Race":
"It’s a fantastic iconic show. And yes, it’s funny and it’s campy and it’s glamorous and it’s got hair and makeup and glitz and sequins. But really what it has is a great big heart. And I think people enjoy a new season every year because
they get to meet some amazing heroes and heroines and people from all across the globe, from Milwaukee to Manila can see people being celebrated for exactly who they are and experience the glory and drama and fun and heart and sincerity and laughter of drag."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Bronwyn Newport, cast member, "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City":
"Honestly, I wish I wish ‘Housewives’ was more like ‘Drag Race.’ I wish we had competitions versus, you know, fights with each other. Like, I would rather we talk about our outfits than somebody throw a drink at me for sure. Like I would I would love to switch networks. Yeah."

"It was very fast. We made that dress in two days, so it was quick, fast, furious and beautiful. Yeah, it’s amazing. Oh my god. They’re the best. The entire team is the best team you want to work with in the world. They’ve been doing it a long time. They’re easy and gracious and fabulous. Really. Honestly. Which is hilarious because they’re so famous,
you would think they’d be difficult. But they’re not. They’re just the best."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Acacia Forgot, contestant:
"I have. I feel very conflicted working with all these girls. Some days, I think that they’re my best friends, my best sisters, and some days I really feel like there’s no one I would ever want to do drag with again in this season. But it’s like it’s a love hate relationship I love to hate them."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Suzie Toot, contestant:
"I love this cast so much. They’re crazy and they’re loud, but they’re just like. I don’t know, It’s very. It’s sibling energy. Like, there’s no real parents here. We are unguarded and deeply competitive."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Symone, Winner of "RuPaul’s Drag Race" season 13:
"First of all, it’s fun. And who doesn’t love makeup and hair and wigs and clothing? Who doesn’t love that? But also, I just think people really connect to whoever their whoever their favorite is. There’s always someone for someone to root for, you know? And who doesn’t love that? The great American tale. So I just think there’s just something for everybody. You know, some drama, of course. Of course. I mean, there’s gays in the room, you know, or excuse me, LGBTQ folks. So I get everybody in a room. Of course there’s drama."
