Tonight, we gently weep for whom the [shade button] tolls.
Regardless, completelyinfashion did Jan go out after sheserved some of the sickest runway lewks of the year.
JAN:[Laughs].
You know, Im good.
Ive had months to process everything thats going to happen today.
Im ultimately doing good and hopefully I have more crying scenes so people can make memes out of them.
Seriously, you’re ok?
Have you made peace with this?
Im happy with everything that I did…. Im especially going to miss the little scarves you wore in the Werk Room.
They made me genuinely concerned about the temperature in there.
Was it so cold that you had to go all out and layer up anentireinchof your neck?
I was like, you know what, Im going to be freezing, lets do it for fashion.
Ive been to The Pines on a cold day in New York!
Sometimes it gets cold during the summer and you have to wear a bandana to go to Cherry Grove!
It does the job!
No, we didnt have that discussion, sadly!
Im curious to see if anybody will become that person for the rest of the season.
I hope that it does get passed on.
Does it feel odd that youre leaving early?
I didnt think it was my time.
If its not me, I can cheer on everyone else who has those moments.
I can feel how close you guys got.
Sometimes I know things are edited to look a certain way, but that face seemed pretty genuine.
Were youawarethat you were making that face?
And, to me, it never makes sense to be mad at the other queen.
I wasnt mad at Gigi at all.
She came to do what she was doing, and I cant be mad at her for that.
What people saw in that face-crack moment was me realizing that this was not my season.
The frustration came out through that.
It wasnt even necessarily at the judges.
Of course, I thought, Why didnt I win this challenge?
but it was also If I didnt win this, how am I going to win the whole season?
[Singing and dancing] is what I do, this is my bread and butter.
That moment was the season ending for you, even though you were safe?
That was my biggest strength as a performer: Im a singer.
Is it pointless to think about what you couldve done differently to win?
I dont think you performedpoorlyin this challenge and you killed the lip-sync!
I just dont know that I could have done anything different.
I wish I played this challenge a bit differently….
But, Im so proud of everything else.
This is my first time even being close to the bottom and it sent me home.
I was doing well in the competition; I just didnt have that standout moment….
The lip-sync against Widow is indicative of that.
What Widow got from Chaka, I knew she was going to get from Chaka.
Just being a fan of the show, I was like, IknowIm going home.
Like, yourenotsending Widow home tonight.
I know she wants to be here too, and I know how talented she is.
Shes going to be able to lip-sync this song down in front of her idol.
It would be like if I was doing a lip-sync to Lady Gaga in front of Lady Gaga.
Theres no way youre sending me home in front of my diva.
Were you surprised Ru didnt keep both of you?
What was that night after your elimination like for you?
There were a lot of tears that happened, and I was very emotional.
In my hotel room after, I didnt have any tears left.
I was defeated…. to have that stripped from underneath me out of nowhere was horrible.
I dont want to do any of these things for a long time.
That was the beginning of a long process of picking myself back up.
You took a break from singing?
It struck such a close nerve for me.
All of it came together with that.
Although I did get good critiques, it felt like a moment of sadness for me in my career.
Like, youd totally come back for that if they invited you?
Id love to come back and doAll Stars!
Watching myself on the show, I learned a lot….
I hope Im given the opportunity and that I can take the crown home then!
Whats next in the Jantasy?
Ive always said that I want to emulate Bianca Del Rios career.
While shes a drag queen, shes a comedian first, and uses drag as a vessel.
I love to entertain people.
Thats why I wake up every day!
Im just going to keep feeding the children!
