"I'm the victim of a robbery and a muggery because the Drag Race Down Under Season 4 crown was stolen from me!" Vybe joked in her exclusive exit interview.
"But that's OK, I'm still kicking,"

A Season to Remember
Vybe, a staple of Sydney's drag scene for the past 13 years, brought her A-game to Season 4.
As a regular performer at iconic venues like Universal, Stonewall, and Arq Sydney, Vybe's reputation for hosting and humour preceded her. She's graced the stages of Mardi Gras After Party and worked with big-name brands like Qantas, Disney, and PlayStation.

Reflecting on her time on the show, Vybe said, "Being on the cast of Season 4 was absolutely incredible. There is no one I would have rather done this season with than the girls that were in Season 4. Honestly, we had too much fun."
The season showcased Vybe's strengths, from winning the Roast Challenge to sharing a triumphant makeover win with fellow contestant Nikita.

"The highlights for me were definitely those wins, but also the little moments in between filming where we got to just be a group of middle-aged cross-dressers in a huge shed in New Zealand. It was gorgeous, I loved it."
Highs, lows, and lessons:
However, the competition wasn't without its challenges. Vybe candidly admitted that the acting challenge was her low point. "Bad Vybe was on set that day, and I was not pleased. I was sick of it, I was over it, and I was ready to murder," she quipped.

When asked what she'd do differently, Vybe reflected on the pressure she put on herself. "I think I would have just gone in knowing that having fun with every challenge is the main goal. I'm a very self-doubt-y person, and if I don't feel like I've done a good enough job, it shows. So, yeah, less care in the world, more enjoyment."
Life after Drag Race
Despite not winning the crown, Vybe remains upbeat about her journey and future. "Honestly, getting to the grand final and being part of the top four was the goal I had when I went into the show. I couldn't be happier that we made it to the top four."
As for what's next? Vybe's schedule is already filling up. "My preferences are international, first class, and very high-paying, but while we're here, we've got our Down Under tour coming at the end of March. In January, we're popping over the river, the sea, the bridge, the ocean to Drag Con UK to freeze our asses off."
"Before then, I'll just be tramping around Oxford Street like a normal weekend."

Strongest season yet:
Season 4 has been hailed as the strongest yet, and Vybe agrees. "The girls are absolutely incredible, but I also feel like production, the judging panel, and the involvement of icons in the Australian and New Zealand drag scene made the season what it was. That's where the magic was."
While Lazy Susan took home the crown, Vybe's charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent have ensured her place as a standout queen of Drag Race herstory.
