Matt Roush says...
With contestants trumpeting names like Acadia Forgot, Hormona Lisa and Lucky Starzzz, it can mean only one thing: a new season of the exuberant and multi-Emmy winning RuPaul’s Drag Race. Katy Perry is guest judge, joining the regular panel of Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews and Ts Madison as Season 17 gets underway with a Squid Game-inspired round of “RuLight, Green Light,” followed by the new cast of queens showing off their skills in a ”Drag Queens Got Talent” show. There’s a new twist this season, in which queens facing elimination can earn immunity with the Badonka Dunk Tank. If they choose one of the levers that dunks Michelle, they won’t have to sashay away!
