'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 7 Spoilers: Trixie Mattel Opens Up On Elimination, 'I Still Don't Understand It' [VIDEO]

On Friday, The Advocate posted an interview with the former contestant who started off as one of the queens that audiences had high hopes for. But when she performed in a video with other contestants that didn't do as well as she expected, she definitely didn't think she'd be the one to go home.
"I was literally shocked," Mattel admitted. "My parody video was funny- I came up with the concept and wrote a lot of the lyrics- my green runway was beautiful, and I slayed in my lipsync! So even after watching the episode, I still don't understand it. Maybe I stumbled into some unflattering fluorescent lighting."

Mattel was up against Pearl for elimination in the last episode, which may have been extra surprising since Pearl is another critically acclaimed contestant. So when it came down to the two of them, Mattel admitted that she didn't want things to go down like that especially since she and Pearl are friends.
"It was rude. It shouldn't have happened," the former contestant said. "I don't even understand why I was in the bottom."
Mattel then revealed that she is close with another contestant who remains in the competition.
"Katya is not only beautiful and hysterically funny, but she's also like family to me," the queen said.
RuPaul's Drag Race airs on Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Logo TV.
