Ultimately it was Krystal born-to-be-a-drag-queen Versace who took the crown Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF BBC/World of Wonder We attended the finalé premiere last night where Krystal was crowned by Snatch Game contestant Judy Love and Kitty Scott-Claus was named the unofficial Miss Congeniality of the season Sam Cleal/BuzzFeed We caught up with Krystal to find out how she s feeling and what her experience of season three was like BuzzFeed / Via Zoom BuzzFeed UK: Congratulations, girl! How are you feeling? Krystal: I'm good! I feel very overwhelmed still, it's feels to good to be true really – it feels like Christmas times a thousand!BuzzFeed UK: How does it feel to be the youngest ever winner of any Drag Race season? Krystal: Oh my God, it feels crazy. To have that honour is a huge bonus. I do feel like in this experience I did my absolute best – like, I did everything I possibly could. So I'm very proud of myself and I'm very grateful to be in this position today, and for everyone that helped me get here. BuzzFeed UK: Well, we have to say it was very well deserved! Krystal: Thank you, babes. BBC/World of Wonder/Guy Levy BuzzFeed UK: Did you think you were going to win? Krystal: No, I really didn't. Even when we were watching the episode ourselves I couldn't tell who it was going to be – it could have honestly been any of us! BuzzFeed UK: What are your plans now that you’re the UK’s newest Drag Race superstar? Krystal: Honestly, I'm gonna take each day as it comes and think about what it is I want to do with my win. I would like to tour the world, show everyone my drag, and be up there with the best of the best!BuzzFeed UK: Do you know what your web series will be about? Krystal: I've really not had a chance to think about it yet! I don't have a clue yet, but trip to Hollywood, why not? BBC/World of Wonder/Guy Levy BuzzFeed UK: At the finalé screening last night, Kitty was crowned Miss Congeniality – do you agree with that? Krystal: Yeah, she deserved to win for sure! BuzzFeed UK: What did you think of your critiques throughout the season? Krystal: It was all really good, to be honest, and even when they had negative stuff to say I just remember thinking, "you're trying to pick now". Especially when it came to runways! I know some of my looks weren't as strong – the thing is not everything goes to plan and a couple of my outfits didn't actually arrive in time, so I had to move some stuff around. Overall, I'm chuffed though and I learned so much! BuzzFeed UK: It seemed like, from our perspective as viewers, that you had quite a special relationship with Ru – is that the case? Krystal: Yeah, definitely. A lot of stuff was also cut out, so the fact that people could still see that just shows how much we got on. I didn't expect it either, I thought she'd think I was too young would maybe even underestimate me, but she said I was one to watch, and I'm really grateful for that. BBC/World of Wonder/Guy Levy BuzzFeed UK: What was something that got cut out? Krystal: There was a lot that was cut out. One time she got up out of her seat and screamed as I walked down the runway, it was incredible! She leant over the panel as I walked down and shouted "work, bitch". She's so fun – we had so many moments together. After the roast she told me I was so bad it was funny, and I just said, "fuck you, bitch". She's amazing. BuzzFeed UK: Was there ever a time in the competition when you wanted to walk out? Krystal: No, bitch. That was never a thought in my head, that's not in my blood! BuzzFeed UK: And do you have a favourite moment from the show? Krystal: The fugly beauty pageant was a really fun challenge to do, and then towards the end of the show we were just having fun. BBC/World of Wonder/Guy Levy BuzzFeed UK: What's the reception been like to you being on the show and taking the crown? Krystal: It's been incredible. I'm so overwhelmed I can barely reply to any of it! It's so weird seeing the world react to something we've known about for so long – I love all the memes and the funny moments. BuzzFeed UK: Let's talk about your makeup, because honestly you have one of the best paints in Drag Race herstory. How did you get so good? Krystal: Thank you! I've always had an eye for makeup and I'm very observational, so, when doing makeup I can see little details that no one else would spot. The rest is just practice! BuzzFeed UK: What would you say to young boys – or anyone really – who want to express their queerness but feel like they can't? Krystal: It's difficult because when you feel like you can't, that's an all-consuming feeling, but you can. Life can be really hard for queer people sometimes, but as bad as it gets it really does get better – always. There's a family out there for you who will support you and celebrate you.

Krystal: In the competition, me and Vanity got on really well the whole time; and then towards the end, as a final four, we all really clicked. Now, I'd say Anubis – we're best friends! She's in the other room right now. BuzzFeed UK: Last question – one word to sum up the experience? Krystal: Extraordinary. It was incredible, all of it! The whole thing felt like an out-of-body experience – you really feel like you're on another planet when you're there! I miss it so much. At the time it was so stressful and intense and sad and happy, but I learned so much so quickly. It was just an extraordinary experience!
