CBS Jason De Puy , aka Salina EsTitties , was eliminated from Big Brother season 28 last week, and Just Jared got to sit down with him. We asked Jason , “There’s some discourse online about Drag Race stars getting eliminated from reality TV shows early on, for the most part. Do you have thoughts on why you think this might be happening?” If you’re a reality TV fan, The Traitors comes to mind with regard to Drag Race alums. Peppermint was famously sent home far too early – in episode 2 – of The Traitors season two during the first roundtable banishment. Bob the Drag Queen was sent home in episode four in season three of the Peacock hit. Jason reflected on his time in the Big Brother house in answering our question Jason had a lot of thoughts about his time in the Big Brother house, and responded by first relating this question to his own experience in the BB28 house. And then, he revealed why he really thinks this might be happening on other reality TV shows. Jason shared, “Oh, you know what? I think it’s so hard, you know, being in that house, being the person I am, coming from the world that I live in. I just—it’s such a different world when I’m in the house with…all these straight people who don’t have a fraction of the life experience that I had to face…especially being sober, especially, you know, being a queen in nightlife who traveled the world on reality television, has already gotten backlash and hate from fans online before. I dealt with all that before. So I just had a very unique point of view walking in the house that people didn’t have. So to dumb myself down, especially since I didn’t reveal I was on Drag Race , was an interesting experience for me. Not only was I experiencing isolation of being the only person in the house who was me, but also, I had to dumb myself down and make myself seem less threatening as a show person, even though I can sense that Devens and Angela could clock my showmanship, right? And I felt that they were threatened by that. So it was an interesting experience to walk through. But, you know, I’m grateful to CBS for picking a drag, like picking me as a drag queen, as the gay representation this season.” He continued, “I mean, what a unique experience for me to be the one to experience who Jason is while the world experiences Jason, because I never allowed myself to experience Jason. You know, I always say like, oh, Selena gets all the recognition and is the face of who I am. But I was the face of who I am. And I think we learned at the tea party, I learned who I was very quickly in that moment. I’m very proud of who I’m become, who I am, being alone.” Jason then revealed why he thinks Drag Race alums might be getting eliminated earlier in some of these reality TV shows Jason said, “Yeah, you know, these drag queens can’t get far in the game, it’s because I think peo
