Rupaul's Drag Race Season 17 Episode 2 Reaction

[@DanDTV]

Who did the best in the talent show?

[@heidimoon4638]

Lexi!!!!!

[@Dexfan1995]

@@heidimoon4638 Agreed! Lexi 100%!

[@moyaxoxo5923]

Lexi obviously 😂

[@EchanteDante]

Lexi Love and probably Sam Star were my favorites. I also enjoyed Onya but she sort of stayed in one place when she had a whole stage. Crystal did great too but I don’t know if it was as flawless or showcased her personality as much as Sam or Onya.

[@Haleyncasey]

1st - Onya 2nd - Kori 3rd - Lexi 4th - Sam 5th - Crystal 6th - Lana 7th - Hormona Honestly only Onya, Kori and Lexi did a good job. Everyone else was a flop imo. Crystal had no business being in the top 2.

[@diegoreyes3604]

Michelle was so right about Lana. The song gave and she landed her stunts but the presence wasn’t there. She seemed very in her head the entire performance and like she was thinking about what to do next/how she’s being perceived.

[@buntom1800]

agree tbh but her she def had the best runway imo

[@jakemasucci7065]

100%. I love Lana but she kinda lost me ngl

[@andresf1876]

Yeah she kind of just walked around til the dip at the end but had 0 charisma when she was on stage. I’m afraid she seems a bit more reserved than the other queens

[@wetbread6757]

And her runway presentation!! Her garment was so good but she just doesn't know how to work it out

[@linikedemarco]

Lexi is gonna win the season, MARK MY WORDS (and feel free to come back to this comment once she does)

[@comosedice6104]

her fashion is bad

[@JuanitoEsBonito]

Koris ice cube literally flew off the stage and out of my TV screen😭💀

[@Dexfan1995]

It was actually a pretty well-timed wardrobe malfunction. It almost seemed like it could have been planned with how PERFECTLY it happened with the end of the track. 😂

[@JuanitoEsBonito]

@Dexfan1995 I actually thought it was planned until the Queen's pointed it out😭

[@buntom1800]

that was my favorite part oh her performance

[@moyaxoxo5923]

I thought it came out her cooter and that was the only good part and it was a oopsie 😂

[@edgarperez3170]

I have no idea how y’all actually liked Lana’s performance 😭 she gave absolutely nothing

[@EchanteDante]

I mean she gave a little bit. But it’s a bit like her speaking voice very subdued and one note besides the trick at the end. She showed no personality. Luxe had more personality than Lana and that’s a problem. I like Lana and loved her runway a lot. I thought her performance was very low safe. I wanted her to do better. But when we have queens like Naomi Smalls who are tall skinny models that pose in their performances but they make it entertaining and actually do something aside from just posing and one trick. She always builds a performance throughout and always has a gaggy moment. Where as Lana’s performance just didn’t feel worthy of the main stage of Drag Race.

[@LaxmannDhotre]

The song was so boring bruh. And she had very little tricks. To call that amazing when, Lexi, kori and crystal envy performed the hell out of it, Lana's performance looked like nothing.

[@CarlosGarcia-ds9dn]

Lexi being so emotional over how the girls in the back were cheering her on…I love her! Both did great in this lip sync!

[@wisemandaryn5953]

I'm so glad that Viv said yes to "All Stars 7"; it was such a huge success for Paramount and is still the most viewed installment -- and so many were introduced to The Vivienne as a result. Arguably one of the most talented across the entire franchise -- she will definitely be missed.

[@Zodia195]

So happy they dedicated this episode to the Vivienne, RIP!

[@jadenkochan7424]

I’m so happy they gave them how people voted in the rate a queen, last season I hoped they had done that since it was a missed opportunity and would’ve stirred more drama. I’m so excited for next week!

[@mason5789]

Lexi Love was the standout in both episodes for me. Love Lana, but I agree with Michelle. Her energy wasn’t in the song fully and you could feel it

[@moyaxoxo5923]

She’s my front runner already

[@moyaxoxo5923]

Sam star is literally baby Alyssa edwards. Like could be her biological kid . I’m surprised no one else has said it.

[@derrickharley1989]

"One thing that will stand out is some colored 'hose'!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@moyaxoxo5923]

Ru saying her tights were the best part was such a read 😂

[@EchanteDante]

LEXI LOVE HAS ALREADY MADE A MASSIVE IMPACT! She is thee meme queen of the season! Everyone including Kori keep saying it is Kori King and I love her but that is Lexi Love for me! Ever since I saw her feeding her chickens on her farm in full high wh*re drag I fell in love with this queen. She is hilarious and so likable.

[@jgonzales.15]

i’m glad i’m not the only one who said harmona didn’t know the words

[@DH_9126]

Genuinely think onya deserved top 2 for the night. Her runway was solid and the talent show was my fav next to Lexi. Great episode.

[@migoym6079]

I think the other safe number is 1... Might be a stretch but 1 and 7 for Season 17?

[@andrew2awsome]

Was gonna like it but don’t want to ruin the 17 lucky number lol

[@cancallmeN]

i think the other safe number is 2 . or mybe 1 just like u said 😂

[@als_pals]

i think it's just rigged so they can do the advert lol

[@alzu638]

I’m kinda getting tired of lipsyncs as a talent unless they are Anetra or Mirage performance level. Like it’s just the same and all the drag queens can lipsync. They should really do something worth watching like Lexi or Suzie did, they were the only queens that showed real talent.

[@8114梦见]

There isn’t much incentivizing this at the moment though, unfortunately, since original song lip syncs are often safe at the very least. Meanwhile, if you come with a different talent, there is a good chance you will be put in the bottom (see Acacia & Hormona). I think it has a lot to do with the format as well… 1 minute isn’t enough time for a lot of talents to come off successfully, making people go to a more safe option that can work well given the constraints. Lexi & Suzie were smart to stay in the original lip sync arena, but add in an extra element to make it more unique.

[@Dexfan1995]

@@8114梦见 THIS! It really is unfair that they reward mediocrity over people who actually bring 'talent show worthy' talents. In a fairer world, Acaica should not have even been in the bottom. And no offense to Sam (I'm a country music fan), the performance was fun, but... at the end of the day, it was just a poppy lipsync with a slightly elevated death drop at the end. We've seen more impressive leaps from performers like Aja on the show before. So, for Sam to shade Acacia performing a genuine grassroots country song that she sang live while playing an instrument when her performance was literally the same poppy lipsync performance we see every week on this show... sure Jan. They really need to restructure the talent show and instead make it a 'varity show' by category instead and penalize the contestants for having similar acts. I think it would make things WAY more interesting and prevent the contestants from just using their 'original tracks' and strut around the stage to fall back on to be 'safe'. It really is starting to become unfair.

[@8114梦见]

@@Dexfan1995 Yeah, Sam’s “I’m bringing genuine country” was WILD to me, as somebody who grew up listening to a lot of older country and bluegrass sounds. Sam’s was very much a country-pop performance…emphasis on pop.

[@moyaxoxo5923]

Aggreed . Lipsyncs as talent show shouldn’t be allowed anymore. It’s tired. Save that for the lip syncs

[@Petzeur]

This Rate-A-Queen queen system worked better than last season. More drama will occur when the other queens from one group rate the other groups talent show performances. I'm glad they are showing who voted who in the next episode.

[@harry_ox_stov]

#TeamLexi ❤❤❤❤

[@DanDTV]

🙌🏻

[@RaspberryBlunt]

I think it was Lexi Love. I feel like the girls trying so hard to make a moment with their shady comments but it coming off mean girlish.

[@Dexfan1995]

Especially with calling Lexi "Auntie Grandma" at age 33?! I mean, c'mon, how old are these children if they think 33 is old? What are they? Like 10 year olds calling a teacher in their thirties 'old'? I'm almost 30 so does that make me ready for an AARP membership in these kid's eyes? Lol. I agree, the attempt at 'shade' was not working here.

[@moyaxoxo5923]

It was coming off as rude and cringe. So glad she mopped them

[@james510762]

I think they don’t want to send anyone home during the premiere episode, so they just dropped Michelle no matter what number Hormona picked.

[@Zodia195]

I can't help but wonder if that wouldn't have been the case if it had been Acacia in that spot. In some ways it reminded me of last year when the "Rate a Queen" didn't make a major difference in the long run. The bodonkadonk (sp?) thing though it reminding me of the Chocolate bar scenario all over again. It's never going to be about luck, but who Ru and the Producers like.

[@erickm1741]

@@Zodia195 I think no matter who the queen that was pulling the lever was, it was gonna go down on the premiere to kinda show how the twist worked. And now they only have to save 1 queen instead of 2 down the line (probably a production favorite)

[@EchanteDante]

That and for the potential for drama and annoyed queens.

[@LaxmannDhotre]

​@@Zodia195nah, no matter what the queen was in bottom, they weren't gonna send anyone

[@Dexfan1995]

Okay, why is this season suddenly becoming RPDR mixed with Love Island? I mean, I'm not complaining! But, the levels of crushes in this season are CRAZY compared to the past!

[@ApocalypticFishbowl]

I think the levers that will dunk Michelle are numbers 1 and 7 because it is the 17th season lol (if it wasn't rigged)

[@EchanteDante]

I’ve seen people giving Joella a hard time after this episode/Untucked…but what I think those people should realize is IT IS A TV SHOW! And a lot of the girls who see the writing on the wall that they probably are not winning the seasons or even getting close so they might as well make their mark so they can create memorable moments to hopefully be brought back again. So as annoying as Joella was reading the girls her criticisms weren’t wrong. Lana’s performance was sort of one note that started cute but didn’t go anywhere but the trick at the end. And Onya’s song was great and her personality really shined but had her performance been more dynamic she could have been in the top but girl stayed in one spot and did a little two step. So I think Joella was just saying what everyone was thinking. It just is funny and annoying coming from Joella. So let her take her 15 minutes and make the most of it. Because we all know she isn’t making it to the end but maybe she can make it farther past when she probably should have gone home if she stirs up enough sh*t.

[@Andy_Tx]

I said Lexi would win this season the first time I saw the season 17 promo, and now I’m sure of it

[@christopherwalsh3945]

Acacia forgot is giving maddi morphosis looks I think.

[@SocarellaDeToussaint]

Lexi Love

[@Petzeur]

The lever twist is very produced. As you can see, there were no wires connecting the lever to the dunking tank. Any queen on this episode who got a second chance was going to stay no matter what lever they chose. I think the producers did this because queens complained about being sent home early without showcasing the outfits they've spent a lot of money on.

[@Petzeur]

I love how other shows were in this season. They did "The Circle" with the Rate-A-Queen, Russian Roulette with the levers, America's Got Talent with the talent shows, and The Bachelor with the hookups. 🤣

[@Transgurlnextd00r]

I'm sorry but Dand screaming was giving me life!!! Also Leche has been stuck in my head as well. One word for last week, robbed.

[@trofjaeotjfjswifb4576]

Lexi is just 33 but she's the oldest in their batch so they call her Grandma :D :D :D :D :D

[@chriskhaan]

literally they were treating her like shes 82 😭

[@moyaxoxo5923]

It was very annoying and cringe.

[@LaxmannDhotre]

Seriously 😭even mhiya was 34 at the time of season. And she flipped and jumped around. Dunno what these girls were on about. I think he production told them to be extra shady this season. They want the Emmy back

[@LeonardCastillo-p1e]

Lexi Love The winner of the season❤

[@joshualeitch7493]

That first lever was so rigged like its kinda annoying 2 episodes and no elim well need to see who the new fave is for who gets number 2

[@Priceley]

3 faves so far this season: Lexi, Kori and Arriety. (I LIIIIIIVE for Kori) 🤩

[@christopherwalsh3945]

Was Joella asleep during this? Lol. Dead

[@missgoodnesscompetition7865]

Not the Lana overrating

[@Petzeur]

Arrietty and Jewels, are you quaking even more after watching "Grandma" Lexi's talent show AND lipsync? 🤭😂

[@EchanteDante]

I agree with Monét and Jorgeous (who I’m annoyed is coming back yet again) Lana’s look was great but she revealed the back of the dress way too quick. She walked out and immediately turned around. She should have revealed it at the end walking back off of the runway.

[@rainbowmagic8842]

one word:LESBIANS🧡🩷

[@Petzeur]

Season 17, the season of hookups. 🤣😅

[@jamesmcgeorge06]

hormona was gonna do something else for the talent show but her costume for her talent show didn't make it in time so last minute she switched to standup 🙃

[@vatc17]

Oh this is Lexi's season!

[@edwardunico]

You should react to the fourth season of Drag Race Spain, you will like it a lot, they say it is the best of the franchise!!!

[@EchanteDante]

Hormona should be read for that Marie Antoinette look though cute…it has been done to death. If you aren’t going to do anything original with it or better than the queens who have done it before don’t do it at all. THERE ARE ENDLESS IDEAS OUT THERE and she gave us the first thought that popped in her head for this prompt. My favorite runway from this episode though stiff was Sam Star’s I really loved the idea of her skirt being a tiered wedding cake and how it looked real. Other looks I loved were Lana’s and Lydia Butthole Collins. Also loved Arrietty’s.

[@roguephoenix]

lol your reactions like those levers were actually attached to anything that controlled the dunk booth. 🤣the most eye-roll worthy "twist" in drag race history. like we're supposed to be excited to this gimmick for production to save who they want blatantly? they could have made it at least interesting by having the person that won the lip sync be the one to be dunked. if they miss, the person sitting would win the prize money/trip. this was just a net to make sure rupaul's invitee doesn't go home first. EVERYONE saw that coming. also, i wish they would tell the queens talent show will be anything BUT lip syncs unless they're doing something amazing like marina or anetra or something diff about it like those roller skates. all the lip syncs were meh. rough start to this season. show is showing it's age.

[@cancallmeN]

Badunkadunk things twist should be reveal on episode 3 🫣 not this episode . this episode should be a non elimination episode 😅

[@alexsytc]

i can't empathize with hormona anymore. her not going was clearly set up and i hate that.

[@The_OniFox]

How is that her fault? Lol

[@moyaxoxo5923]

Woulda been lame to sending her home . Some other girls just lipsynced to mid songs in mid outfits.

[@katyperrysl]

Where is my reactions to season 4 of drag race España?? This season was THE season

[@cjwallace4630]

No elimination what a waste of time 😤

[@moyaxoxo5923]

A queen getting an entire drag race package together and going home first day is a waste of time. Better to actually get to know them more before cutting girls imo
