The minute Katya walked on screen for the first time I was OBSESSED. With the character, with her. She immediately stood out on screen

[@PhilipGreenShow]

Katya is just pure love and joy xxxx

[@mariisoverit]

I partially disagree! She's flawed, and sometimes her jokes are dark because of her addiction/struggles. And that's why I love her. Despite everything, she finds humour, love and a lesson. She's vulnerable, yet she manages no maintain a certain level of privacy (that everyone needs and deserves). Truly admirable.

[@Throatzillaaa]

I can't imagine. I've was addicted to H for several years, and I've been clean since March 2014, and I still could never imagine attempting something that requires this amount of bravery, confidence, forethought, and planning. Based on her and Trixie's show, I get the impression that their doing OK with their mental health and I genuinely hope that's the case. Quitting drugs for the long run is hard and I'm proud of anyone whose been able to do it. But I feel like there's very little discussion about life after you get sober, mental health and the loneliness associated with a life of soberity.

I think both are loved for different reasons and shouldn't be compared since they aren't the same people. I love both Katya and Bianca for different reasons and it's fine to have an all time favorite, but don't try to put down a queen because you feel like the one you like is better. Also I would like to add that Bianca is loved for who she is and what she does, the same applies to Katya and they are also different.

If I remember it correctly, Katya had more challenge wins and Detox more runway "wins", so yeah. A third would've been Tatianna, had she not been set up to lose.
