In this YouTube short, two speakers discuss the emotional impact of Miss Soi's appearance in episode 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race, noting that the episode served as a poetic tribute after her death. They describe how Miss Soi's performance felt foreboding yet beautiful, and how her drag family and fans responded with an outpouring of tributes on Instagram. The conversation highlights the mixed feelings of seeing her work displayed posthumously—both admiration for the tribute and sorrow for the loss—while emphasizing the strong community support surrounding her legacy.

Miss Soi, my heart sank every time I saw her on the screen. Me too. It was just, it was so poetic, her appearance. And some of the things that she said and some of the things that she was talking about were like, it's as if somebody knew that this was gonna be her last, which is horrible, that this was gonna be her last, which is horrible to say, but it was a beautiful tribute. This whole episode was kind of a tribute to her.
If you're not a RuPaul's Drag Race fan, Miss Soi is the contestant that died in episode 2.
She ultimately passed away. Just for context.
I thought that— I thought when she came out, I'm like, she has a huge family and that's where this is coming from. It's the support that she's getting from all the sisters that she has, which are also very creative. And if you take a look at her Instagram, all her drag sisters are tribute.
Every single post is a tribute to her. So as much as it was Miss Was, it was also their whole families. I think it's mixed emotions because they're seeing their work and they're seeing it displayed, and it's also like, it's a tribute to their friend. Yes. You know,
