“I am loving Season 17 because Season 17 has reminded me of life. It’s drama!” she told BOSSIP. “There’s a lot of drama, but there is a lot of good drag in there.”
She also gave a special shout-out to contestant Onya Nurve, the frontrunner.
“I just want to give a shout-out really quick to my girl, Onya,” said Jaida. “Because Ony has been whipping it down on some of the challenges, and I don’t know how caught up y’all are, but if you’re not caught up, sorry—spoiler alert. The b**** won three challenges, and she ate every single time.”
Kylie Sonique Love shared a similar enthusiasm for the latest season, calling it “a mess” that she loves.

She added,
“Those girls are giving me something to look forward to every Friday night!”
Deja Skye echoed that enthusiastically and noted that there’s a queen in particular who’s her favorite.

“I’m not gonna call her the dark horse because she’s caucasian, she’s the White Horse; Miss Lydia Butthole Collins,” said Skye to BOSSIP. “B***ch, what? I did not know they made white people like that. She has a little swag, she reminds me, and this is a great comparison, she reminds me of Willow [Pill] from. my season. Where she doesn’t talk, she does, and I live. I live for her!”
Kennedy Davenport, the powerhouse queen known for dancing and polished pageantry, offered words of wisdom to the new generation of queens about the importance of humility and continuous growth.
“If you’re not humble, keep living so you can find some humbleness,” she advised. “Don’t ever think you’re too good. Always keep your mind open to learning because drag is evolution, and you’re always learning something. And leave the bad attitudes at home—we do this for the people, and they have to be convinced that you are there for them.”
