    Summary

    In this episode, the hosts discuss the lip sync battle, Maya's confidence, post-elimination reactions, workroom dynamics, role assignments, the rusical challenge, and the strategy behind choosing roles. This episode of RuPaul's Drag Race Recap featured discussions about Miss America, the choreography segment, elimination day, the rusical segment, runway looks, the lip sync battle, and overall thoughts on the episode.


    Takeaways

    • The lip sync battle between Maya and Megami was underwhelming, with both queens failing to fully capture the essence of the song.
    • Maya's self-proclaimed title of 'lip sync assassin' may be premature, as her performance in this episode was not as strong as she believes.
    • Plasma's behavior and attitude continue to rub the hosts the wrong way, with her lack of struggle and self-assuredness making her unlikable.
    • The role assignments for the rusicla challenge were not evenly distributed, leading to some queens feeling overshadowed and others feeling overlooked.
    • The hosts question the classification of the rusical as a true musical, as it lacks live singing and relies heavily on lip syncing and dancing. The contestants showcased their talent and delivered strong performances in the rusical segment.
    • The runway looks were exceptional, with the queens stepping up their game.
    • The choreography segment with Adam Shankman was well-received, and Melissa McCarthy's appearance provided a nice touch.
    • The episode highlighted the importance of being true to oneself and standing up for what one wants, as demonstrated by the contestants' actions.
