That’s so cute. I love how we were able to see her growth and self love transformation between the seasons. We went from katya saying she didn’t know how to love herself to katya being confident and proudly stating how she’s a star. Also, thank you for the translation.

[@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.

I’ve been sober for almost 4 years from Meth BUT the fact that Katya was only a year and a half sober from that and out herself into all of this and didn’t relapse during drag race is just so amazing and powerful ~ I love her so much

[@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.

@@wellingtoncamelo8466 Alaska's track record was pretty much spotless (except for that one thingy on Family That Drags Together) but that shouldn't be the only thing to be considered, I don't think. It feels like Alaska was set up to win, while otherwise it would've been a fierce battle between Detox and Katya. 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. AS2 was entirely built around Alaska.

[@mjnerd0828]

You’re so right 😣

[@iamrobbyd]

katya may be a safe and basic favorite because of UNHhhh, but she proved and showed us all on her seasons how strong, kind, fierce, and amazing she is. Her humor comes through in everything she does, but her heart comes through as well. her confessionals always made you laugh and smile and her sense of style is quirky and adorable. Honestly, if there was ever a queen deserving of a “best of” list, it’s Katya. She is, and will always be, the bright red scare with the long blonde hair.

[@sarahm8972]

Katya did rpdr (seasson 7) and only after that came UNHhhhh. She was really a favorite long before all the success of UNHhhh and with her on AS2 the favorites just grew more and more.
