This season, contestants competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race had to endure an international crisis, coronavirus safety protocols, and Olivia Lux contributed that many people watch the reality show for the lip sync battles. “To have six off the bat is absolutely wild. You get to see everybody in their element performing before you see anything else from them in the season.”
Other drag queens in the 13th season commented on the first episode, too. “No other season has had such a twist so soon,” Tina Burner stated. “It was crazy, too, seeing all the judges. You just don’t expect that,” Elliott with 2 Ts added. One of the contestants kept things short. “It’s a bloodbath,” Kahmora Hall chimed in. Denali, another one of the competitors, said, “In my opinion, it’s probably the most exciting first episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race ever.”
