Sashay away from the workroom and into the recording studio, because the queens of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 17 are taking on a musical challenge that promises to be as fabulous as it is fierce. In this week’s episode, “B.tch, I’m a Drag Queen!,” the remaining contestants will transform iconic moments from “Drag Race” herstory into original musical performances.
Think “Read U Wrote U” but with a twist. This challenge isn’t about crafting original verses; it’s about taking existing “Drag Race” lore, those instantly recognizable memes and catchphrases, and turning them into full-blown musical numbers. Expect high-energy performances, creative costumes, and, of course, a healthy dose of shade. After all, what’s a “Drag Race” musical challenge without a little friendly competition?
Joining the judging panel this week is actress Julia Schlaepfer, bringing her discerning eye and theatrical expertise to the critiques. Will she be gagged by the queens’ talent, or will she read them for filth? As RuPaul always says, the library is open!
This 90-minute episode promises to test the queens’ versatility and push them to their creative limits. They’ll need to showoff not only their singing and dancing skills but also their ability to embody the spirit of “Drag Race” itself. Who will rise to the top, and who will lip-sync for their life?
Tune in to MTV on Friday, January 24th at 8:00 PM for “RuPaul’s Drag Race: B.tch, I’m a Drag Queen!”.
