Racers, start your engines — a new episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 airs tonight.
Last week, the 15 remaining queens flexed their acting and comedy skills in a Saturday Night Live-esque challenge and strutted their stuff on a Cher-inspired runway. Plasma was crowned the winner of the week’s challenges, while Geneva Karr and Mirage battled it out in the lip sync.
Ultimately, Ru said “shantay, you stay” to Geneva Karr, while Mirage sashayed away.
Per MTV’s schedule, this week’s episode is all about girl groups, as the queens have to write and perform their own verses to songs off RuPaul’s new album. Synth-pop duo Icona Pop will be around to guest-judge the challenge.
A new episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race airs Friday, February 2 at 8 p.m. ET on MTV. The 90-minute episode will be followed by a new episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked.
