Pythia has opened up an aired moment from the recent episode of Drag Race Global All Stars.
Spoilers ahead
On this week’s episode of the international spin-off, the queens were tasked with showcasing their best celebrity impressions for the Snatch Game of Love.
“This is your chance to show off your best celebrity impersonation while trying to win the heart of a hot international Snatchelor. Because if you can’t find love as yourself, try catfishing,” Ru explained.
While most of the queens were confident in their Snatch Game characters, Pythia struggled with her choice – Arnold Schwarzenegger – after meeting with Ru.
“I’m thinking of changing my character. Is that crazy? I have nothing planned, but I need to listen to Ru,” the Canada’s Drag Race star said in a confessional.
Following a small brainstorming session with Kitty Scott-Claus, Vanity Vain, Gala Varo, and Alyssa Edwards, Pythia landed on the mythical god Zeus as her new Snatch Game persona.
“I have to make a whole outfit from scratch, and I don’t have long,” she stated.
Despite changing her character at the very last minute, it worked in Pythia’s favour, with her performance as the king of the gods winning over Ru and the judges’ panel.
“Zeus was loose. I loved the idea that it was this douchey jock, Zeus. You nailed it,” Jamal Sims said during the judges’ critiques.
Michelle Visage added: “Fucking brilliant. That’s the way you do it. Making Ru laugh, making everybody else laugh, making yourself laugh and having a blast.”
While the the beloved talent was treated to glowing praise, not all of Pythia’s critiques made it to air.
On 21 September, the Greek performer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share some behind-the-scenes details about her cut interaction with Ru on the mainstage.
“Ru gave me the most deep, philosophical and touching critique I have ever heard, it was such a special moment between us that gagged me AND THEY DIDN’T AIR IT. (Even though Tessa comments on it in the untucked lounge without them showing it) EDITORS I NEED A WORD,” she wrote.

It didn’t take long for fans to swarm Pythia’s mentions, with one person writing: “Okay I was wondering why Tessa said “probably the best critique in all of drag race herstory” or whatever because from what we saw I was like “I don’t really think so…”
Another viewer echoed similar sentiments, tweeting: “So disappointed in the editing of this season, I would’ve loved to see you have your moment and it feels like such robbery to the fans that it didn’t air!”
A third fan added: “I thought there had to be more than what we heard on the episode!”
Despite Pythia’s glowing critiques for her Zeus impression and ‘Eat Me’ runway ensemble, Kitty was named the winner of the maxi-challenge and Gala was sent home following a lip sync battle against Vanity.
On next week’s Drag Race Global All Stars, the queens will be tasked with starring in a rich international roast.
