Episode
edit
Eight previous winners from the Drag Race franchise enter the Werk Room. RuPaul reveals the season's twist: there will be no eliminations throughout the season. Instead, the top two contestants of the week each receive a Legendary Legend Star, then participate in a Lip Sync for Your Legacy. The winner of the lip-sync contest earns a $10,000 tip and the opportunity to "block" one of the six safe contestants, meaning that even if she wins the next week's challenge, she will be prevented from winning a star. At the end of the season, the four contestants with the most Legendary Legend Stars will participate in a Lip Sync LaLaPaRUza for the Crown.
For the first mini-challenge, the contestants "read" (or playfully insult) each other. Jinkx Monsoon wins the mini-challenge. After the mini-challenge, RuPaul brings the contestants to the main stage, where they receive a runway modeling coaching session from Naomi Campbell. For the main challenge, the contestants write and perform original verses and choreography to RuPaul's song "Legends".
Cameron Diaz is a guest judge.[5] The runway category is "I'm Crowning". After critiques, the judges highlight Monét X Change, Shea Couleé, Trinity the Tuck, and Yvie Oddly. Monét X Change and Shea Couleé are the top two contestants of the week. The two contestants face off in a lip-sync contest to "Old MacDonald" by Ella Fitzgerald. Shea Couleé wins the lip-sync and blocks Trinity the Tuck from receiving a star next week.
