Kevin Bacon praised Loosey LaDuca for her performance in Wigloose: The Rusical!, a parody of the 1984 film Footloose. In her first lip-sync, she defeated Salina EsTitties to Kate Bush's song "Running Up That Hill" (1985). She was eliminated from the competition after losing a lip-sync to "For the Girls" by Hayley Kiyoko against Luxx Noir London. and Cameron Scheetz of Queerty said she "gave us nothing but real: Real emotion, real drama, real star-power, and real good reality television". Sim included LaDuca in a 2023 list of ten contestants who received a "delusional" edit on Drag Race and wrote, "Throughout the edit of the show, LaDuca was shown passionately disagreeing with the judges, arguing with other queens over who got second and third top placements, and seemingly not understanding when her costars were just kidding around." Writing for Pride.com, Sim said, "There's absolutely no way that someone can walk away from watching season 15 without remembering how LaDuca was portrayed on the show." Loosey LaDuca has said she felt "robbed" and had earned a spot as a finalist.
