RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under star Karna Ford reveals what fierce host Michelle Visage is really like – and the gruelling audition process queens go through to be on the show
As a dedicated fan and connoisseur of all things “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” I must say that the latest revelations about Michelle Visage have truly warmed my heart. Karna Ford, the fabulous drag performer from Sydney, has shed light on Michelle’s softer side as a host on the Down Under version of the show. It’s refreshing to see the fierce queen soften her act and embrace a more nurturing role.
As a die-hard admirer, I spilled the tea on Thursday about the captivating personality of Michelle Visage, our fabulous co-host on RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under. Here’s a sneak peek at the enchanting woman who steals the show behind the scenes!
The well-known American television figure, aged 56, is recognized for her bold, no-nonsense demeanor on the widely acclaimed reality competition series, often presented by RuPaul Charles.
However, after being removed as Queen, Karna (aged 28) shared with Daily Mail Australia that Michelle appears to have grown more gentle now that she’s hosting the Australian adaptation of the program.
Karna remarked, “She seemed very maternal and nurturing as the host.
Instead of her typical bold, confident demeanor usually displayed when hosting alongside RuPaul, there was a softer, loving vibe present this time around, which I appreciated.
Karna expressed his astonishment at Michelle’s perfect beauty, which left him breathless, during their initial encounter on the show.
‘Michelle is probably one of the most gorgeous people in the world,’ the drag performer said.
‘From top to bottom, she was impeccably put together. A simple glance made her seem like a real-life Instagram enhancement.’
Karna, a vibrant drag queen based in Sydney, Australia (who happens to be of Filipino-Australian descent), is renowned for her electrifying stage presence and feisty demeanor.
However, the lively dancer encountered sorrow on a Friday evening as she was dismissed during the third installment, due to a subdued display during the Snatch Game event.
Karna felt disheartened after going through the tough auditions for seasons three and four of the show, only to find out that she didn’t get selected.
She explained that it resembled a video lasting approximately 25 minutes which incorporated various challenges. These included an acting challenge, a Snatch Game, and showcasing her personal wardrobe.
Then comes a series of interviews with various questions. Once you submit your audition video, you move on to the initial selection stages.
From that point on, you proceed to another round of selection interviews. It seems that based on these interviews, they determine their preferred candidates for the TV show.
‘The audition tape was such a hard process because it’s so long and there’s so much to do.
As a devoted fan, I’d like to share that if I were to perform the task repetitively, I wouldn’t be able to present the same content again and again. A fresh approach would be required, such as an entirely different outfit collection and a brand-new interpretation for the Snatch Game.
Karna was dismissed following her unsuccessful attempt to captivate judges Michelle, Rhys Nicholson, and special guest judge Ladyhawke (the artist behind “My Delirium”) during the Snatch Game.
The drag performer entered the comedy challenge as a ‘drag version’ of Eddie Murphy, leaning on lines from the actor’s character Rasputia Latimore in Norbit.
Following a dip in her self-assurance during the maxi challenge, where she admitted feeling ‘overwhelmed’ by the other contestants, Karna dazzled on the Queen of Desserts runway.
Karna donned a homemade outfit modeled after the shape of the balutong, a classic Filipino snack resembling a deep-fried, sugared twist doughnut.
Regrettably, Karna didn’t have a standout performance during the third episode. Instead, she had to mimic the lips of Max Drag Queen and Nikita Iman, ultimately leading to her being dismissed from the show by being asked to leave in a ‘sashay away’.
All seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under can be streamed on Stan.
