Part two of the Drag Race season 16 premiere has arrived, and it is messy boots. Major spoilers ahead. The search for ‘America’s Next Drag Superstar’ continued on Saturday (13 January), with the last seven queens making their way into the iconic werkroom: Hershii LiqCour-Jeté, Plasma, Geneva Karr, Plane Jane, Megami, Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige, and the first Taiwanese queen of the franchise Nymphia Wind.
After making their grand entrances, the group noticed that the workroom was already occupied with wigs and makeup. “The fact that it’s a split premiere is honestly kind of good because there will be less bitches sucking up air out of the room so I can truly shine,” Jane said in a confessional.
With everyone accounted for, the queens were treated to their first piece of RuMail before RuPaul herself entered the workroom in a stunning black and white suit number. “My beautiful queens, welcome to RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Condragulations you got the job,” Ru exclaimed. “Now, as you may have noticed, you are not the first to arrive. That’s right, seven of your sickening sisters started their journey last week.” In a confessional, Megami threw some lighthearted shade toward the first group of queens, stating: “Being in the second group is a little bit annoying, but at the same time, by now, America has already forgotten about those girls.” Before leaving the workroom, Ru tasked the ladies with their first photo shoot mini-challenge, revealing that they were going to team up with someone who’s worked with everyone in the business. “So shoulders back, tits out, and I’ll see you at the She-Mv,” Ru teased.
