Something Fishy Is Happening With the New Elimination Twist on 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 17 ...Saudi Arabia

Episode 2 was basically a copy and paste of last week's episode with the remaining seven newbies competing in their own version of the talent show challenge, the Rate-A-Queen twist returning, and the top two queens lip syncing against one another for the win. Unlike last week, however, flop pop star Katy Perry has been replaced by culturally relevant rapstress Doechii and we're actually getting an elimination (at least supposedly). 

Last week the seven non-participating queens ranked Acacia Forgot's as the worst talent show act, which meant she was set to lip sync against whichever of this week's talent show performers got placed in the bottom by the Rate-A-Queen twist. The queens competing this week were Lexi Love, Kori King, Lana Ja'Rae, Sam Star, Onya Nurve, Hormona Lisa and Crystal Envy.

However, not everything went quite according to plan (or perhaps it did). Here's what happend in Episode 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 including who went home:

However, it was after Hormona lost that things started to get a little fishy. 

Starting in Episode 2, each week the eliminated queen will have the chance to pull one of ten levers (supposedly) connected to the dunk tank. Two of those levers will dunk Michelle and the queen will be saved. The other eight levers are blanks which will eliminate the queen. However, as anyone with two eyes can see, the levers are simply plopped on stage and are in no way, shape or form actually connected to the dunk tank. Which basically means that production can opt to dunk Michelle whenever the hell they feel like it. 

For me, it seemed a wee bit fishy to have the first pull dunk Michelle, which conveniently starts the season off with a splash and now leaves the forthcoming queens with a 1/9 chance to save themselves, which is basically how the chocolate bar worked back in Season 14. So call me a skeptic, but I think it was preordained that whichever lever Hormona Lisa pulled (and also licked?) was going to save her. As Alyssa Edwards would say, "Rigga Morris Girl!"

What is the Badonka Dunk Tank twist? 

The new twist for Season 17 is the Badonka Dunk Tank, which allows the eliminated queen to pull one of ten levers attached to a dunk tank. Two of those levers will send Michelle Visage tumbling down into a dunk tank, which will save the drag queen. Eight of those levers will do nothing and the queen will be sent packing. This week, Hormona Lisa pulled one of the correct levers which now leaves a 1/9 chance for the next nine eliminations.
