Heidi N Closet reveals scrapped challenge from Drag Race season 12: ‘No one won’
The producers of RuPaul’s Drag Race cut a challenge from season 12 because the queens were “so bad,” according to Heidi N Closet.
Released in the first lockdown, season 12 memorably featured iconic contestants such as Heidi, Gigi Goode, Crystal Methyd, Jackie Cox, Widow Von’Du and winner Jaida Essence Hall, who recently returned for the first-ever all-winners’ season.
The season has since gone down in herstory as one of the most celebrated Drag Race instalments, with the cast even comparing it to a season of All Stars because of the sheer amount of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent on display.
However, viewers were left confused when one of the franchise’s staple challenges, Reading is Fundamental – which sees the queens throw shade towards each other – was omitted from the season (until the finale).
