Yahoo Lifestyle Who Was Eliminated in 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 17 Episode 3?
RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 finally has a Porkchop! After no one was eliminated either week of the two-part premiere, Mama Ru finally told a drag queen to "sashay away." In a Monopoly-themed design challenge (which only sort of made sense), the 14 queens were each tasked with creating a look that screamed "oppppalance." Each queen selected a Monopoly property from a box (Boardwalk, Marvin Gardens, etc.) and then was assigned fabric of the corresponding color to work with.
After the usual Werk Room dramas (not knowing how to sew, righting over fabrics, generational trauma), the queens hit the Monopoly-branded runway where comedian Sandra Bernhard presided as a guest judge. Then with the Rate-A-Queen twist retired (at least for now), the judges named a bottom two for the first time this season. A lip sync battle commenced, a Badonka Dunk Tank lever was pulled, Michelle Visage did not plunge into water, and the losing queen was (pork)chopped.

Here's everything that happend in Episode 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 including who went home:
Who was eliminated in the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 Episode 2?
Lucky Starzzz
In a somewhat surprising first boot, the avant-garde craft queen from Miami was sent packing. Based on the fact that Lucky makes most of her own costumes from scratch using unconventional materials, a design challenge seemed right up her alley. However, this Monopoly-themed design challenge turned out not to involve any unconventional materials and demanded a more straightforward elegant fashion look. Neither aspect played to Lucky's strength's and her attempt at conventional drag sent her to the bottom. She then faced off against Joella in the lip sync and was sent home post Badonka Dunk Tank fail.
Who won Episode 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17?
Sam Star
In a week of stars, Sam Star was crowned the first challenge winner by RuPaul. The southern pageant queen whipped up a cerulean gown in no time, wowing the judges and cementing her spot as a frontrunner in the competition.
What is the Badonka Dunk Tank twist?
The new twist for Season 17 is the Badonka Dunk Tank, which allows the eliminated queen to pull one of ten levers attached to a dunk tank. Two of those levers will send Michelle Visage tumbling down into a dunk tank, which will save the drag queen. Eight of those levers will do nothing and the queen will be sent packing. Hormona Lisa pulled one of the correct levers in Episode 2 and Lucky Starzzz pulled one of the duds this week which leaves the next eliminated queen with a 1/8 chance of remaining in the game.
