The Drama Continues: Suzie Toot and Lexi Love’s Rivalry Takes Over RuPaul’s Drag Race
Tensions are boiling over in RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17 as the fierce rivalry between Suzie Toot and Lexi Love takes center stage. What started as subtle shade has now exploded into full-blown drama, threatening to overshadow the competition itself. With only seven queens left, alliances are cracking, tempers are flaring, and fans are eating up every moment of the chaos.
On RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17, it’s not just the fierce runway looks and dazzling performances stealing the show — the behind-the-scenes drama is serving just as hard. This week, all eyes are on Suzie Toot and Lexi Love as their simmering feud erupts into one of the season’s juiciest storylines.
Following Arrietty’s emotional exit after her lip sync showdown with former best friend Jewels Sparkles, the Werk Room was already filled with tension. But the moment Suzie and Lexi locked horns during the acting challenge “Ross Mathews vs. the Ducks,” things really started to spiral.
The challenge asked the queens to embody viral internet personalities in a Truman Capote-style drama. Lexi Love, playing a self-absorbed TikTok icon, took a bold approach that many interpreted as “scene-stealing.” Suzie, portraying a chaotic Vine-era parody character, didn’t hold back her frustration, calling Lexi’s performance “extra for no reason.”
The tension only escalated during the Black and White Ball runway. Suzie stunned in a post-apocalyptic Black Swan couture, while Lexi strutted confidently in a crisp all-white power look topped with a shimmering fedora. Ross Mathews seemed particularly taken with Lexi’s outfit, prompting a sharp glare from Suzie.
Backstage, the claws came out.
“If someone needs to scream to be noticed, it’s definitely Lexi,” Suzie snapped.
Lexi raised an eyebrow and fired back, “I’m not screaming. I just don’t need to whisper and hope people lean in.”
With only seven queens remaining, every choice counts. And while the runway might crown a winner, the Werk Room is quickly becoming a battleground of its own. Suzie and Lexi’s rivalry has added a thrilling layer to the competition — one that fans are eagerly watching unfold.
Will it all end in a tearful reconciliation or an epic Lip Sync for Your Life? Stay tuned — anything can happen on Drag Race.
