But wouldn’t you know, it would be a villain-based challenge that officially sent her packing.
Admitting that comedy wasn’t her thing, this Seattle-based queen did find her footing when fashion was involved.
Yet, when she was tasked to use her words, she struggled.

“Comedy is not my forte and is not something that I do on the regular.
It is not something I even watch,” she said.
An icon on the runway, Arrietty displayed her unique aesthetic to the world, and did not disappoint.
Buther legacy leaving the show may be the newly coined JokeGate.
I play with my heart, and I am gonna get you back."
ARRIETTY: Not the giggle queen!
You have the best giggle in the world.
I have to tell you.
ARRIETTY: I appreciate that.
Congratulations on a fantastic run.
If you could describe your Drag Race journey in three words, what would they be?
ARRIETTY: Ooh, three words.
Let’s see, aesthetics and poise.
All right, I love that I’m here for it.
ARRIETTY: What shocked me the most?
Honestly nothing really shocked me because I was there.
ARRIETTY: Okay, actually, no, I take it back.
I’m like, bitch.
Why are you giggling so much?
You were enjoying yourself!
ARRIETTY: I guess.
But oh my god.
Like I was like, “Shut up!”
Like I’m giggling too much!
What is it like knowing how beloved you become the more you shared yourself with the world?
ARRIETTY: It feels so strange.
It feels, I don’t know.
It’s so wild.
On my day-to-day life, I feel like I’m such an enigma.
But more of like people truly just don’t get my humor, or like anything like that.
How I be, how I act and behave.
But also so comforting.
And I’m like, “Oh my god, there are people out there.”
Absolutely now, you brought some exceptional looks.
You slayed the design challenges.
Where does your eye for design come from?
I need to know about your brilliant brain.
ARRIETTY: Oh, thank you.
I don’t know.
I’ve always been in tune with esthetics and like creating art.
For me, it’s so easy to look good.
It just comes so naturally.
Let’s do it."
I don’t agree with her.
ARRIETTY: A LITTLE?!
It was not difficult to just, you know, slim my nose down.
Like it’s not rocket science.
So it was, I understand the comment and the critique.
And you know what I was like, ‘Okay, sure."
I didn’t take anything offense to it.
I was like, “Okay, here we go.”
But I appreciate that you were able to adapt.
And like you said, you’re a makeup artist.
You have an incredible, incredible eye for it.
ARRIETTY: Thank you.
Did you have a favorite of the three design challenge looks that you made?
ARRIETTY: I mean, the first one.
I feel like that one was so fun, so pretty, so opulent.
I just felt so, I feel so c–.
Which people, I don’t think they get the concept.
We don’t have to touch on it too much, butBaby Cupid.
Is that gonna haunt you forever?
ARRIETTY: It’s okay.
Is it gonna haunt you forever?
ARRIETTY: Of course!
I mean yes and no.
I mean, it’s so bad…
It’s so bad, it’s iconic.
ARRIETTY: It’s so bad, it’s so bad.
Okay, the funny thing is, I had props.
I had things written out, but in the moment, it was so, I blacked.
I mean, I always black out and disassociate.
It’s not new for me to do that.
So I was like, you know what?
It is what it is.
The cards are on the table.
All right, this week, the mini-challenge wasthe return of the Badonka Dunk Tank.
Let’s talk about your luck when it did save you the first time.
Did you feel like it gave you a fire under your padded butt when you got saved?
ARRIETTY: Of course, yeah.
I mean, yes.
I got a second chance.
And I was like, You know what, I’m not gonna waste this one.
Did you have fun getting dunked this week?
Was the water cold?
Probably
ARRIETTY: Probably, probably.
Season 17s third episode erupted with drama after an off-camera clash.
You were nervous from the start.
ARRIETTY: Of course.
Comedy is not my forte and is not something that I do on the regular.
It is not something I even watch.
I don’t watch comedy things.
To me, comedy is the last thing I watch.
I watch romance or horror movies.
I don’t watch comedy things.
What was it like havingWhitney Cummingsthere as your mentor?
See, there’s a comedy!
There’s your comedy right there.
ARRIETTY: Yeah, being a f–ing bitch.
I guess I gotta lean into that.
Now you were a little pissed off with Jewels Sparkles’ running order.
Do you think she was being strategic or shady?
ARRIETTY: No, she was being strategic.
But also being strategic in that way against your friend is shady.
So, it’s a gray area when it comes to what Jewels did.
Yeah, especially when I confided in her beforehand.
I was like, “Hey, I don’t feel good.
I know I’m gonna do bad.”
So I was like, oh,?
And then we had JokeGate.
You stole some jokes.
And you know what?
And I’m f-ing Latina bitch.
I play with my heart, and I am gonna get you back.
I’m also, I love black and white.
I love balance in my life.
So if you’re gonna get me, it’s tit-for-tat, I’m gonna get you.
And listen, we had some of the most tense painting sessions ever before this challenge.
The girls were fighting.
ARRIETTY: The girls are fighting.
We’re gonna play a quick round of Tea Time.
ARRIETTY: Oh, Jesus, let’s do it.
That’s the word.
ARRIETTY: Big
Jewel Sparkles.
ARRIETTY: My bestie,
And Arrietty.
ARRIETTY: The most glamorous, gorgeous bitch ever.
Now, I talked to her about it when I spoke to her at the exit interview.
But your friendship with Acacia blossoming off the show.
I think it’s so amazing.
What is the origin?
How did you come so close?
Not chance, but I should have talked to her at least once.
Because the first time we had a conversation, I connected with her immediately.
I’m like, damn.
Especially one that I was like, her bully.
ARRIETTY: It’s true!
Like, I was bullying that bitch.
I was slapping her around.
But, and then afterwards, I was like, “Oh my God, we are so similar.
It’s so funny.”
It’s not even funny.
It’s kind of scary how similar we are.
ARRIETTY: Next big dream?
Well, I want to do a lot, baby.
I want to make my own collection.
Of course, start YouTube.
Put it on the universe.
What do you want?
ARRIETTY: Oh, honey.
I want to be onThe Challenge.
I want to be onBig Brother.
I want to be on all of it.
Like, I want to backstab.
I want to have fun.
I want to compete.
The universe is listening.
I can’t wait to see it.
Arrietty, you are incredible.
Congratulations on an awesome run.
ARRIETTY: Thank you so much.
