Probably the biggest surprise of the season was seeing your dark horse reign in the middle of it,  especially after your LFYL, what fueled you to start doing well?

 

I realised that I was a 'middle of the road' sort of queen and I didn't want to be that type of girl. I am not that type of girl. I came into the competition with my head in the game, I had a game plan and knew what cards to play when the competition called on them to be played. I feel like my lip sync introduced the other competitors, and the judges, to a side of me that was willing to fight to keep a place in the contest. Before, I feel like I was put off by the more dominant personalities who seemed to always be killing every challenge - in that lip sync, it was just me, fighting for myself and it spurred me on. But I'm happy with being considered a Dark Horse by Katy Perry because it was a #1 hit!

 

You won two back to back challenges then ended up having a quick fall, what happened after your two wins? 

 

Everything became a bit too much. I didn't want to get into the details back then because I don't want to be that sob story kind of girl. That part of my life is over though, but yeah, my Nan has a history of mental illness and was going through some **** after being catfished online for her life savings, my sister left for the Netherlands and I came out to my family. Pair all of that with overtime at work and it just seems like a recipe for disaster. I didn't give myself enough time to do anything and put entires off because I had no motivation to do anything. And yes, perhaps I did have a defeatist attitude after winning two challenge and then falling flat on my face - I mean, I did - but I didn't want anyone else to know that there was anything more to it than 'oh, Colleen just stopped'. I was content with that conclusion because it was a hard time for me and my family and I wasn't sure if anyone would understand if I said anything. It is in the past now and I feel like I can open up about it. I feel like since leaving the competition, I've realised that there are more to the other competitors than the side they show to the judges. It was nice to take a step back and watch the series unfold knowing that there wasn't any pressure on me to compete to a certain standard and meet expectations.

 

You were portrayed as being the “villain” at one point because you seemed to not be as friendly with the contestants, do you feel like you were misunderstood at some points? 

 

I really don't care about being branded the 'villain'. Maybe I'm a little abrasive, but God, some of the other competitors were talking out of their asses and saying irrelevant little things which had no place in the competition. Sure, maybe it was a little rude to call whoever it was 'average' but looking at the bigger picture, egos were inflated and I just can't stand people who are up themselves. It seems like people found their ground shortly after which was for the best. Being in a competitive environment makes everyone a little hot and bothered. Do I feel like I was misunderstood? Not really. I'll always be that bitch that calls someone out and questions a girl's motives behind the scenes. I'm just... that bitch.

 

.

How did it feel snatching everyone’s wigs at one point and leaving everyone shook? 

 

I never felt like I had that 'wow' kinda moment which is why I was disappointed after flopping colossally after the WIN-WIN run. I won the first challenge, yes, but it was a joint win and when you're in a competition, it's hard to have to share being the best with someone else. I did kinda get my life during my second win - I think I did a good job of surprising everyone by taking a relatively tame and boring holiday (compared to the others) and turning it into a winning piece. I'd still love to go back and make improvements to what I submitted, but finally getting that approval from the viewers was a nice feeling. I always felt looked down upon by the other competitors but that's probably just my inner Nina Bo'nina coming through. My favourite moment though was turning it out during my first lip sync. I don't know what these bitches was expecting but they clearly weren't thinking my ass would stay. Gagged them when I served C.U.N.T.

 

.

Who did you feel were your biggest competitors, even when you were slaying? 

 

I feel like everyone had their own strengths. From the start, it was obvious that Noah would be a shoe-in for the final. Stone seemed good but ended up being a disappointment and being a cow to me. I knew that when I was against her, it would be an easy win and it was. Gladys ended up snatching my wig, beating it like how a fratboy beats his meat when his roommates are out - bitch, she went off. Faye was always strong and I admired her, the same with Lola. I didn't feel like anyone who left before me was competition which is why I was okay with leaving when I did. Although, I'm still not sure what Melanoma does besides than graphics so think she shouldn't have come back.

 

Do you have any regrets about sort of giving up? 

 

Regrets? I guess. If things didn't close in on me all at once then I'd have loved to have not rushed my entries and actually spent some more time working on them so they'd make sense. I feel like I understand myself as a queen now, because I kinda went into this competition on a whim and thought **** it, might as well have a go. Giving up obviously isn't anyone's first choice on how to go, but it felt right given my personal circumstances and the remaining girls who were setting the bar very high. They were more deserving, and I didn't want to let my laziness slip through to the next round if there was a chance someone with more talent could stay. 

 

Do you think we’re going to see more of Colleen? All Stars maybe? S5? 

 

I'm still on the journey of understanding my character and persona so that I can be more rounded and serve C.U.N.T at every opportunity. It'd be nice to see Colleen return, maybe with a different name though because literally the one thing I regret most is taking a basic ass middle aged white woman soccer mom pumpkin spice drinker name. Nobody's perfect but the name Colleen definitely ain't, especially when half of y'all were spelling it Colon. In between my busy schedule of shows, writing music and working the nights, feel free to call me. If I don't pick up, one of the Chinese children working in my call centre will. xo

.

What did you think we missed out on, after you were eliminated?

 

I had a lot more tricks and treats up my sleeve, good sis, a lot more. But I think the good thing about being eliminated is that it made me realise who Colleen is and was and I get her a lot more now. There's still more to learn but I've grown since then, I've developed. I feel like during season four - I was in my cocoon. Girl gotta come out.

 

You had us all shook for those weeks, Colleen, and your talents more than made up for your abysmal name. To another time, and another season, my dear.

Colleen's name doesn't represent who she is

 

[Rhisiart]

@Kylie Jenner I'm glad everything is okay with you and your family currently, I send you lots of love. Right from your application and the origin of your name, I LIVED for Colleen, and you gagged me more than any other contestant. I need you to know that I think you're beyond amazing, and I'm so honored to have competed against you. I'm so proud of the work you put out. We don't really talk that much, but I love you dearly.

Melanoma (@talent)

 

 

Welcome back Melanoma, how have things been since your time on the show? Any new endeavors your pursuing? 

 

I've been great! My career has skyrocketed since my time on the show. I was recently honoured with the "Maybe Next Time" award at my local club, and I've started getting 500 dollars more for the same performances at my local stages. My album comes out December 24th; it's called "The Sun is a Girl's Best Friend".

 

Now you were the winner of the first challenge and you were also the winner of the comeback challenge, both times you received some level of unwanted attention, did this attitude have an effect on you?

 

I said a few times that I felt like people were stank this season, and it was true both times that I won. The only time I got any kind of positive recognition for a good job was when I went home (both times). It kind of made me feel on the outs and uninterested in really playing along with people who clearly did not want me there, but I kept on keeping on.

 

You started off the season great, but then had a steady SAFE streak then eventually ended up getting eliminated, why do you think you were never able rise past the first week? 

 

Because I wasn't really putting in the effort I could have and should have. As my first time really on the scene, I was at a loss for what kind of aesthetic I should be aiming for, and I had no experience seeing what kind of aesthetic was going to win me the competition. I was very unsure the whole time, and I personally think it was clear in my submissions.

 

Both times you were eliminated it was because a comedy challenge, would you say that’s your weakest point? 

 

While I wouldn't say that I'm weak in comedy, I will agree that it is my weakest. I had a great concept for my video, but I tried to do too many things and didn't stick with the actual decent character I had at the core. For my snatch game, I just had too much to do for school and didn't have the time to do more than just try to find bible verses and finish it off. I wasn't really happy with either submission, so I was not surprised to do so poorly.

 

In your lip sync you demonstrated a lot of your skills and talent that you have, do you feel like you weren’t able to show that in any of the challenges? 

 

I think I had the opportunity, I just didn't do it. I think my lip sync and products actually WERE funny and proved I could do that, so it was a shame that I wasn't there for those challenges. I had so many other opportunities, though, that I could have tried to shine more, but I just didn't do it, and that's why I didn't do so well.

 

Of course you did come back and you made it to the top 5, would you ever do another season or of if asked back for All Stars, compete? 

 

Absolutely. No doubt about it.

 

 

What has doing this experience taught you about not only yourself but yourself as a drag character? 

 

To always look both ways before crossing the street!

 

What a powerful and enlightening interview. How beautiful that you posted a photograph of Cucu, the queen we all most identify with your run in this game.

 

[Moonchild]

Whew, Colleen serving lewks and slayage for that 3-4 week period. I'm glad everything is okay in your life now bb. I'd love to see you on another season.
