And yes, there's another twist.
For the latest installment in RuPaul's Out dot com -- there's so many stories, -- RuPaul's Drag Racehas released a teaser clip of season 13's second episode. In what seems to be the first few minutes of the episode, the performers queuing in the Porkchop Loading Dock have to make their decision on who is going home.
First: a brief recap. In the history-making premiere episode (most viewers in herstory for an episode of the show,) Ru serves up a format twist: Queens make their entrance, meet one other competitor and then must face off in a lip sync. One is crowned the winner, and the other "gets The Porkchop;" She is sent to wait in the Porkchop Loading Dock. The queens there include Rose, Utica Queen, Denali, Tamisha Iman, Kahmora Hall, Elliott with the 2 T's, and Joey Jay. The other queens -- that's Tina Burner, Kandy Muse, Olivia Lux, Gottmik, and Symone -- get to go back to the Werk Room to kiki and untuck.
Of course, it's not Ru without a second twist. The second part of the twist ends up being that the queens in the Porkchop Loading Dock aren't all necessarily going home as they were led to believe initially -- yes Tamisha, "the lady said bye" but she didn't really mean it. The losing queens must all vote, having not seen one another's lip syncs, on who should go home.
In the new clip, in an All Stars style voting, they make their decisions.
"We have to vote someone off," Jay says. "This is a competition. This is what we signed up for. Alright, bitches. Shit is about to go down!" We love the attitude to be honest; why join a competition and then bemoan the structure of the competition? Let's just get it over with
What we find at the end? What is that? Oh, another cliff hanging twist awaits us!
