Second half of the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 12 Episode 2 Premiere is all done. We now have met all 13 of our Queen's and I think we are gearing up for a fantastic season.
I have an immediate soft spot for Aiden Zhane. Hailing from the middle of nowhere Georgia. Not having a strong drag family, background or training. Aiden is the underdog of the season and I hope we get to see her for at least a few weeks.
This episode was structured the same as week 1, we had a fashion show with a spring and fall runway, then a choreography portion and then finally our last themed runway.
I really enjoyed the spring runway, everyone had fun spring looks. And then we hit the fall looks and the first two women came out in funeral attire. The judges didn't seem to care about the rogue looks so whatever. I felt that Jada and Jan were a step ahead of the competition after the runways. Sherry and Aiden felt a step behind the competition. Their looks didn't seem as polished as the other queens and they'll need to improve in order to stick around long this season.
The choreography went almost exactly the same as last week. Everything was a disaster. The queen with the least confidence at dancing/choreography complained endlessly, Jada this week. And then everything was amazing for the final performance. I thought all the queens did a great job.
Final runway was also really good. Dhalia and Jan stood out to me. Sherry was the clear loser on the runway. Top two for the week end up being Jada and Sherry. I guess the judges did not share my opinions this week. The lip sync was a landslide win by Jada as Sherry just shuffled around for a few minutes, then had a pretend seizure.
This season is looking to be very talented. Jan is my early favorite, I think she is very dynamic and talented. I think we are going to see a lot of Jan this season.
And Sherry stop being a fake cast director and doing creepy things...
