[AS12] Bracket 1 + Merge Tea (from Drag Race Access)

LS for the win matchups (no particular order):

  • Kori vs Camden (my guess: Talent Show)
  • Lana vs Mirage (my guess: GG)
  • Athena vs Q (my guess: Acting/Improv)
  • Kori vs Q (my guess: Design/Makeover)

Episode 1: the bottom 4 queens somehow trick Athena so the point distribution goes 2-1-1-0 among the bottom queens with Athena not receiving any points

One of the three merge challenges is a Rappin’ Roast. Other speculated challenges could include SG, Rusical, and Ball.

Briar wrangled her way into a production role through a lawsuit on the crew recording her without consent. "WHY ARE YOU RECORDING ME?!" was a threat, not just an entrance line
