“Oh, the producers are working:” Drag Race fans react to season 17’s Badonka Dunk twist
Part two of the Drag Race season 17 premiere has arrived, and it left fans (including us) gagged. Major spoilers ahead. The search for ‘America’s Next Drag Superstar’ continued on Saturday (11 January), with the second batch of queens – Crystal Envy, Hormona Lisa, Kori King, Lana Ja’Rae, Lexi Love, Onya Nurve, and Sam Star – preparing to show off their sickening skills at the Drag Queens Got Talent Show.
While putting on their makeup and gathering costumes, Kori made rounds around the workroom to secure high votes from the queens who performed in the first week. “Rate-A-Queen is a sack of shit.
I have to beg and barter to get votes… but I’m gonna,” she said in a confessional. While Kori was working towards securing allies, Acacia Forgot was mulling over her voting strategy since she would be lip syncing for her life against this week’s bottom. “Since finding out that I’m going to have to lip sync, I’ve had a good cry, I’ve got it out of my head, and I plan to win because I’m not going to be the first one out of here,” the southern queen said in a confessional.
When Crystal asked Acacia if she would take a strategic approach to voting, the latter coyly agreed. “I’m definitely playing strategic rating the queens because my ass is on the line, and I want to put someone in the bottom that I know I can take,” she added in additional confessional.
