RuPaul has a splashy twist up her sleeve for the queens of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 17 to wrap up the two-part premiere.
Teased in the first trailer for the season, the Badonka Dunk Tank has the power to save a queen, who otherwise would have to sashay away. Each nearly eliminated queen will have the chance to test their luck by pulling one of 10 levers. If they guess correctly and send resident judge Michelle Visage into the tank, they will get to escape elimination and slay another day.
In last week’s premiere episode, Acacia Forgot was ranked in the bottom by her fellow queens for her original country song performance. This week she faced off against the least favorite from Week 2.
