This season ushers in a new twist to RuPaul’s Drag Race – The Badonka Dunk Tank. Following the lipsync, each eliminated queen can receive immunity and save themselves from having to sashay away. Queens will choose from 10 levers and if they pick one of the two levers that dunks Michelle, they get to remain in the competition. If not, they will be eliminated.

The queens competing in Season 17 include Acacia Forgot, Arrietty, Crystal Envy, Hormona Lisa, Jewels Sparkles, Joella, Kori King, Lana Ja’Rae, Lexi Love, Lucky Starzzz, Lydia B Kollins, Onya Nurve, Sam Star, and Suzie Toot.

RuPaul’s Drag Race’s aftershow, RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked, will premiere immediately after the main show at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. The competition show offers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the backstage drama as the queens wait to find out their fate in the competition.
