Welcome to RuPaul’s Drag Race Power Rankings! Every week, we’ve debriefed the newest episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17 to determine which queens were riding high, and which needed she-mergency care. But this week is special, as we join back up with the eliminated queens to see who can triumph in a LaLaPaRuZa smackdown for $50,000. Gotta give Hormona her props for nabbing “Say Liza (Liza With a Z)” before Suzie Toot could get it.
