Can you have fun on the night? Those other skills are vitally important,” says O’Riordan.“I remember using all my first aid equipment to put stilettos back on for one of the drag queens,” laughs O’Riordan.Another time, someone was coming out for the first time and was completely overwhelmed.“Nothing wrong with them medically. They just needed a hug.”Every year, after the parade and party, Mardi Gras gathers feedback on the types of injuries treated by medical volunteers.

is nearing the end, and tensions are rising dramatically as the competition got narrowed down in a big way on Monday with a double eviction.Following last Friday's eviction — which saw Carson Kressley get the boot — Todrick Hall won the title of Head of Household and he went on to put Todd Bridges and Lamar Odom up on the chopping block.On Monday, Todrick made it perfectly clear that Todd was his real target — as he's done better in most of the competitions than either Lamar or Cynthia Bailey, and Miesha Tate has been Todrick's ally throughout the whole season.Todd didn't appreciate being nominated and was also irritated that Todrick and Miesha likely manipulated him into axing Carson last week. However, as Todd and Lamar have been friends and allies for some time now, having them both on the block almost guaranteed that one or the other of them will be going home, regardless of the Power of Veto competition.That being said, the only way Todd could really shake things up — and potentially throw Todrick's game for a loop — was to earn the Veto. The competition was designed to look like a luge event, and it saw the contestants face off by going down a ramp and trying to do so closest to a pre-determined time.
