Trixie Mattel (pictured in 2018) is eliminated from the competition.

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.[5]

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.[5]
