[JO1s]

Honestly this season feels like a skip to me.

[MonsterJohn]

I like Arrietty and Lana's lewks, we will see

 

Nymphia ate these girl up lmao

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Kori is gonna be entertaining af this season I can already tell, MTQ legit made me cackle and that is not easy to do 

 

"These girls are wisdom teeth in a mouth"

 

"White girls love Kelly Clarkson"

 

"My name is Monèt X Change & welcome to the pit stop"  

[dumbsparce]

Going off by the trailer alone, Lexi Love is my fave. What a slayage! I'll watch mtq later but I've been following Kori for a while and she's super fun. Are Lucky and Lana, NBB's and Luxx's daughters respectively? They have their moms' mugs stamped onto their face lmao

Spoiler

Acacia Forgot

City: Los Angeles, Calif.
Official bio: "This honky-tonk diva puts the country in California. Glitzy, glamorous, and with a penchant for blonde hair, Acacia Forgot has never met a rhinestone she didn't like. Musically talented, as well as being a singer-songwriter, Acacia plays the guitar, piano, banjo, and ukulele. Will this aspiring country star also become America's Next Drag Superstar?"

 

 

Arrietty

City: Seattle, Wash.
Official bio: "Arrietty hails from the House of Dubois — her drag mother is none other than Drag Race season 15's Irene Dubois. Obsessed with the fantasy genre, this uniquely creative queen designs and sews her own outfits, often with a 'futuristic elf' aesthetic. Add in the ability to beat a mean mug when needed, and this talented, twisted queen is ready to go all the way in the competition!"

 

 

Crystal Envy

City: Asbury Park, N.J.
Official bio: "With looks so polished, it's hard to believe this makeup artist and drag queen has only been performing for three years. In New Jersey, Crystal swiftly dominated the club scene. Crystal Envy's name comes as a mixture of their birth name, Chris, and the fact that every outfit she wears is bedazzled and sparkly. This pageant princess commands a club crowd, but can Crystal hold that same command over the judges this season?"

 

 

Hormona Lisa

City: Chattanooga, Tenn.
Official bio: "This Southern bubblegum babe was infamously plucked from the crowd by RuPaul on the Atlanta stop of his The House of Hidden Meanings book tour and invited to Hollywood. Now officially a part of the season 17 cast, this campy queen — inspired by Disney princesses and vintage screen sirens — hopes to catch the eye of RuPaul again, this time where it counts the most: on the Main Stage of RuPaul's Drag Race!"

 

 

Jewels Sparkles

City: Tampa, Fla.
Official bio: "Out of drag, this youthful queen has a sweetness and an innocence, and is a self-described 'ditzy, clumsy bimbo.' But, don't be fooled, Jewels intends to enter the competition with intention and strategy. With influences that range from Ariana Grande to Priscilla Presley, to her Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage, you'd be foolish to underestimate this talented doll as merely a 'look queen.'"

 

 

Joella

City: Los Angeles, Calif.
Official bio: "Joella calls herself 'The Slaysian Diva,' and with her own unique style of drag, mixing traditional Chinese costume with street fashion and pop culture, you can see why. Having already won local West Hollywood drag bar contests, Joella is now ready to represent plus-size queens in the biggest drag competition in the world."

 

 

Kori King

City: Boston, Mass.
Official bio: "This boisterous queen has rapidly risen to the top of the Boston scene, amassing a respectable TikTok following along the way. Only in the drag game for 2 years, Kori has already been awarded Boston's Best New Performer to Watch award, and is the name on everybody's lips. She is season 16 finalist Plane Jane's drag sister, so expect a razor-sharp wit, and somebody who tells it like it is!"

 

 

Lana Ja'Rae

City: New York, N.Y.
Official bio: "Lana's drag mother is Luxx Noir London, from season 15 of Drag Race, so expect a level of fierceness from this fashionista! Luxx saw Lana competing in a New York drag competition and was so impressed, she approached her backstage and asked if she could adopt her on the spot. Bringing legs and body to the Main Stage, Lana is ready to strut away from this competition with a crown!"

 

 

Lexi Love

City: Louisville, Ky.
Official bio: "Lexi Love is a full-time playmate at Play, Louisville, a bar known for its high-energy drag excellence. As a performer, Lexi knows how to turn the party up, but she's also someone you'd love to kick it with. Having survived a period of homelessness and drug addiction, she has emerged a stronger and more independent queen, and is ready for the rebirth of Lexi to take over the world!"

 

 

Lucky Starzzz

City: Miami, Fla.
Official bio: "Born in Havana, Cuba, Lucky Starzzz is an expressive, colorful, living cartoon! Lucky's drag meets at the intersection of club kid and camp, and this resourceful queen uses as much paper and spray paint as she does sequins and rhinestones. Lucky describes her drag as 'a Venus Fly Trap in a room full of roses.' Can Lucky's eye-catching creativity catch the eyes of the judges this season and win her the crown?"

 

 

Lydia B Kollins

City: Pittsburgh, Pa.
Official bio: "To understand this absurdist, unique queen you only need to know that the 'B' stands for butthole. Named after Winona Ryder's character in Beetlejuice, Lydia Deetz, and inspired by Tim Burton, John Waters, and David Lynch, Lydia B Kollins is a queen who values creativity over perfection. Will the judges find Lydia's looks BOOTYful, or will her time on Drag Race be a disASSter?"

 

 

Onya Nurve

City: Cleveland, Ohio
Official bio: "Smashburger cook by day, enchanting and in-demand drag artist by night, Onya Nurve got bitten by the performance bug in high school, and took an artistic career path to drag via a BFA in painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art. A comedic actress as well as being able to belt out a tune, Onya represents a real threat in this competition!"

 

 

Sam Star

City: Leeds, Ala.
Official bio: "Stunning, stylish, Southern! Sam is quite the renaissance queen, having trained in musical theater, and being a retired gymnast/cheerleader who can do back handsprings! With polished makeup skills and a gorgeous mug, Sam has gone on to win an impressive number of pageant titles for such a young queen. It's no surprise to learn that Trinity The Tuck is her drag mother and mentor."

 

 

Suzie Toot

City: Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Official bio: "Suzie's uniqueness is her greatest strength in drag. A professional tap dancer with a look rooted deeply in 1920s and '30s fashions, Suzie describes herself as the 'cross section between Betty Boop and Lucille Ball.' A skilled actor with a wild sense of humor and excellent comedic timing, Suzie hopes to wow the judges with her quirky take on drag!"

I know that the season was filmed before fish-gate but do we think Lana is going to have any blowback due to the controversy? I'm curious to see how Lydia, Hormona, and Lucky Stars do. The photo shoot was fabulous.

She's been very smart and barely acknowledged it, I don't think it'll have any blowback beyond the past week

Thorgy's 1st challenge win!

 

 

The world is healing 

My #1 ru girlie, she's just so special to me 

[FLAallday]

Not Susie Boot 

 

loving Jewels, Lexi and Kori rn 

[Rigalo]

I'm rooting for Kori, Lana, and Lexi so far 

[pxxxtrick]

This is the first US season in a while where I'm really not drawn to a single queen based on first impressions. The promo is great but the contestants didn't wow me personality-wise. 

 

That being said, I'm predicting the top 3 to be Lucky Starzzz, Lana, and Kori.

Ehhh Luxx was loudly defending her and doubling down & then Kandy chimed in so there is a Barbra Streisand effect of the whole situation. There will always be whispers of it surrounding her despite her issuing an apology

I think once the season starts (Im assuming she'll do well since she is luxx's drag daughter) it'll reduce or even erase the whole thing
