The queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 17 have shared their unfiltered Squid Game opinions. On 3 January, the search for ‘America’s Next Drag Superstar’ continued with 14 new queens making their way into the iconic werkroom: Acacia Forgot, Arrietty, Crystal Envy, Hormona Lisa, Jewels Sparkles, Joella, Kori King, Lana Ja’Rae, Lexi Love, Lucky Starzzz, Lydia B Kollins, Onya Nurve, Sam Star, Suzie Toot.
Unlike previous seasons, the episode started with a sickening parody of Netflix’s hit TV series Squid Game titled Squirrel Games.
Alongside former Drag Race stars – including Trinity the Tuck, Keri Colby and Angeria Paris VanMichaels – the new batch of contestants played a game of ‘Ru-Light, Green Light.’ Of course, the only queens to make it across the finish line were the 14 aforementioned newcomers – who went on to make their official workroom entrances.
In a recent interview with GAY TIMES, the queens of season 17 opened up about the iconic premiere episode and who they think would win a real Squid Games. “Acacia is the stiffest, so I think she would win,” Kori exclaimed.
