Why did Kori King and Lydia B. Kollins kiss?

During the RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, love is brewing between Kori King and Lydia B. Kollins, prompting the producers and writers to make them the bottom 2 during the Betsey Johnson design challenge episode for the DRAMA.

Kori King and Lydia B. Kollins's kiss during the "Kiss me deadly" lipsync for your life is fitting and it further shows that the 2 queens are serious with their love (or like?) for each other and that they don't care if the judges won't like it, as long as they show to them that they are committed to the lipsync and that they show to the judges that a relationship is forming during their stay during season 17!


Now that Kori King and Lydia B. Kollins confirmed that they are dating after filming RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, it's fun to note that even if Kori King got eliminated, she is the true winner of the season because she found love!
