Episode
For the mini-challenge, contestants appear in the Fake Housewives of RuPaul's Drag Race, a parody of the Real Housewives franchise. Violet Chachki wins, and therefore assigns contestants into teams of two for the main challenge.[5]
The main challenge involves dancing,[6] and the runway theme is half-female, half-male looks.[7] Pairs are asked to create unique choreography, combing two types of dance.[8] Kym Johnson appears to assist during rehearsals. Rachael Harris and Alyssa Milano are guest judges.
Katya and Violet Chachki are declared the winners of the main challenge. Ginger Minj and Trixie Mattel place in the bottom two and face off in a lip-sync to "Show Me Love".[9] Trixie Mattel is eliminated from the competition.
