Thanks Nathan!

I would say my main regrets were not taking as much time as I would have liked past the merge to talk to Miguel and Cali. They were the only two I felt like I had a pretty diminished relationship with at the point of their boots. I also regret lying to Jenna about her boot. I'm not sure if I would still be here with more respect on my shoulders or not if I had done this, but maybe if I had even waited just a little bit to vote Jenna out and voted you instead, people wouldn't be feeling as rough about me. I regret, as proud as I am of the game I played, not playing in the way that you guys seem to have wanted me to, and leaving you all disappointed in the outcome of this season as well. However, I feel like in the grand scheme of things given the fact that I'm sitting here at the end, satisfied with what I've done this season, my regrets in my own eyes aren't as magnified as they would be if I were on the jury. I'm sure if I were sitting where you are, I'd be a lot more regretful of how I played. That being said some of the regrets I caused in other people (for example, you regretting choosing me over Charlie) speaks to the miniscule efforts I made, considering I had you feeling comfortable enough to continue on with me when I knew, and you should have known, that you shouldn't have done so. My game is a mixture of pride and regret.

On a day out, we'd start the morning going on a bicycle ride through Seattle, and I'd show you all the neat shops and maybe the first Starbucks. Then we'd go to the gay part of town and I'd take you to my favorite bar, Julia's, and we'd go to their drag brunch. After that we'd get some ice cream and a sods from the mystery vending machine and enjoy the summer at a park. After that we'd watch some RuCaps and repeat "That's a lot of fuckin' money" throughout the day at every shop we went to. You'll tell me about something I haven't seen and I'll say "I'll watch it later" and then forget about it later, since I tend to do that. Anyways we'd enjoy the rest of Seattle and I'd show you some of the underground city, and then we'd end the night with dinner in the Space Needle and going to my house to watch Drag Race, because my life is seldom anything else. I'm sure Melodrama would be playing a majority of the time.

Comparisons 1. Julia is Milk. Quirky, and a little sloppy at times, but a totally fun person to be around and will show a lot of growth (and already has) for the future. The same can be said regarding a Julia/Alyssa Edwards comparison. 2. Joan is Acid Betty. Legends in their own rights, but got doomed to an early boot due to a major slip up. 3. Cali is Bebe Zahara Benet. She slays. Enough said. But really, she's full of so much poise and respect and you'll never see her crack. Probably would have won like Bebe too if she hadn't been idoled out. 4. Miguel is Pearl. Very cute and an attractive person just nased on conversation, but it's also very difficult to tell what he thinks or is feeling because he never showed it and would always ask what YOU were thinking. 5. Jenna is Detox. She serves looks and is hilarious, but usually falls short due to the successes of her peers. (I probably would have tried to vote Charlie over her if he hadn't been exiled) 6. George is Ivy Winters. To me, a UTR force who showed kindness all the time, with a hint of shade. Easy to fall in love with too. 7. Andy, I'm tempted to compare to Laganja Estranja just based off of his rant on his way out, but I see more of Roxxxy Andrews in him. Both lowkey haters of someone (Jinkx and me), but when it was finally revealed, it was very over the top and aggressive, and even a little humorous. 8. Aren is Derrick Barry. Generally disliked by a majority of his competitors game-wise, but still showed potential and got plenty of second chances throughout the season. One to stand in my favorites long after, despite general disdain by the public. 9. Charlie would be Chad Michaels. Had the polish to win, but lacked the ability to be vulnerable and keep going. Served some generally great commentary as well, but ultimately got besten out by messier competition. 10. Nathan is Shea Couleé. A fierce competitor that in any other season, would have won the competition in a landslide. However, twists and certain losses resulted in the crown slipping away at the very end. 11. Zakriah is Shangela. Abrasive yet honest, with a gleam of talent in general. A sweetheart, but when angry, is not to be messed with. 12. Adrian is Jaymes Mansfield. Nice, but generally out of it and afraid to speak his mind. I was always careful to ask his opinion and not tell him what to do, even at the Nathan vite, despite him saying otherwise, and he usually just decided to agree with me and go with my idea, which Jaymes did with Alexis (but I'm not about to compare myself to Alexis) 13. I (Trent) am Sasha Velour. Someone who winning would be somewhat random and disappointing given the other stars in the cast. However, just like Sasha, there are moments when I really turned it out, and moments where my specialness really shined. I benefitted heavily from the surprise finale format, but in the end, I still had a reasonable case to take the crown, even if others along the way were seen by the public as better suited.

I hope this helps you make your decision! Thanks for the tasks, it definitely brought a positive energy to the feelings right now!
