The latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 begins with the girls being shook — and rightly so. After approximately 159 days and nights in the competition, we're finally down to a [counts] final ten queens. Things are heating up. Slowly. Like the heated floor in my bathroom (I'm sure it's finally toasty overnight). Crystal Envy going home has injected a real "finalists vs. filler" attitude amongst the cast, and the delusion flows every which way. And once again, Kori King is all top-of-her-lungs about how poorly everyone else is doing when she has never placed above safe. You know she's the iced coffee queen because her confessionals — which are usually filmed first thing in the morning — are so damn loud. Kori runs on Dunkin Delusion.
