The episode originally aired on MTV on January 10, 2025. It sees a second group of seven contestants participate in a talent show, with the season's other contestants judging via Rate-A-Queen. Joining regular panelists RuPaul and Michelle Visage are alternating judge Ts Madison and guest judge Doechii. Lawrence Chaney also makes a guest appearance.

Crystal Envy and Lexi Love place in the top two, with the latter deemed a winner following a lip-sync contest. Acacia Forgot, who placed in the bottom on the season premiere, and Hormona Lisa face off in a lip-sync contest.

## Episode

Doechii (pictured in 2022) is a guest judge.

The episode sees the second group of seven contestants (Crystal Envy, Hormona Lisa, Kori King, Lana Ja'Rae, Lexi Love, Onya Nurve, and Sam Star) participate in a talent show.[1] In the Werk Room, Scottish drag performer Lawrence Chaney makes a guest appearance to reveal the runway category "Is it cake?", which tasks contestants with showcasing looks incorporating a buttocks reveal.[2]

On the main stage, RuPaul welcomes regular panelist Michelle Visage as well as alternating judge Ts Madison and guest judge Doechii. The contestants reveal their runway looks. For the talent show, the contestants perform original lip-syncs with the exception of Hormona Lisa, who opts for stand-up comedy. Crystal Envy and Lexi Love are ranked highest by the contestants who vote via Rate-A-Queen. Lexi Love is deemed the winner of a lip-sync contest. Crystal Envy is declared safe and remains in the competition.

Hormona Lisa is ranked last by the contestants who vote via Rate-A-Queen. She and Acacia Forgot (who ranked last in the season premiere) face off in a lip-sync contest to a song by Doechii. Acacia Forgot wins the lip-sync and Hormona Lisa is given a second chance to remain in the competition if she pulls one of two levers out of ten that cause Visage to be dropped into a dunk tank. Hormona Lisa picks a correct lever and remains in the competition. The episode ends with an in memoriam message for The Vivienne, who died on January 5, 2025.

### Fashion

[edit]

Crystal Envy's look was inspired by the Coppertone girl (sign photographed in Miami in 2009).

For the runway, Sam Star presents a wedding-themed look and Hormona Lisa's outfit is inspired by Marie Antoinette. Lana Ja'Rae's dress has a green leopard corset and Lydia B Kollins wears a red dress. Crystal Envy presents a "muscled, overgrown Coppertone girl" look, according to the Miami New Times.[2] Jewels Sparkles wears a jumpsuit and Onya Nurve's look is inspired by the peach emoji. Lucky Starzzz has a sponge-themed look and Suzie Toot presents a more abstract interpretation of "ass" by theatrically drinking a potion to turn her from a maiden into a donkey.[2]
