Previously in episode 15, the eliminated queens returned to compete in a first ever “LipSync Lalaparuza Smackdown – Reunited” episode. In a nine-lip sync tournament, Morphine Love Dion came out on top as the ultimate lip sync assassin of the season and was named “Queen of She Already Done Had Hereses” with a $50,000 cash prize.
In this week’s final episode, Nymphia, Jane and Sapphira all perform an original number and then a third place finisher is determined.

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Trixie Mattel recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s fourteenth episode, two time competitor and veteran “Pit Stop” guest Mo Heart rejoins Trixie for another chatty recap. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their conversation, Mo shares that they were in love with Xunami Muse this season and expected her to make the final four. Mo also knows Q personally and agrees with Trixie that her looks are “ridiculous” because “the boy can sew,” thinks Morphine Love Dion was sickening “from the moment she walked in,” and that the Sapphira Cristál “stumble” last episode gives the other girls a chance to win.
When it came to this episode, Mo likes the concept of the memoir challenge because it shows who is the good storyteller and sets...

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Trixie Mattel recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s twelfth episode, season 2 winner of “Drag Race UK” Lawrence Chaney makes her recapping debut with no interest in giving “credit where it’s not due.” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of the episode, Lawrence was happy to see Q reveal a “real human emotion moment” in how she felt some type away about Sapphira Cristál winning last week’s challenge. Both her and Trixie thought it was smart of her to not speak too much about her feelings though because she might have said something she regretted. For this week’s challenge, Lawrence thought it was a difficult one that requires them to be aesthetically on point while also funny when they host Michelle Visage...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on March 22 with episode 12 on MTV. Airing concurrently with the main show is its tea-spilling, backstage-focused sister series “Untucked,” now in its 15th season. For this week’s challenge, the final six queens worked in pairs to design bathroom spaces in “Bathroom Hunties,” a “House Hunters” spoof. Based on critiques from the judges, Sapphira Cristál and Plane Jane were feeling the most confident about their chances at a win as the queens made their way to the Untucked Lounge.
All the queens thought that the challenge and the improv aspect was “harder than the seminars” from last week. That was, in part, why Jane had a “breakdown” in the Werk Room where she showed the first crack in the armor with a lack of confidence going into the performance. She explained that the challenges are getting harder and though she’s “fueled by delusion,” that...

Call it a self-fulfilling prophecy, suggestive editing or a mix of both, but Morphine Love Dion predicted that she could land in the bottom two on Friday’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race — and she was right.
Morphine vocalized her fear after being paired with Q on this week’s maxi challenge, which required the queens to design and promote their own… bathrooms? (Something tells us this isn’t the episode that Drag Race is going to submit for Emmy consideration.)

Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of the episode, Jessica and Trixie agreed that Sapphira Cristál is a queen they would be intimidated to compete against because she’s so successful in many areas, and of course Trixie wanted to know Jessica’s thoughts on Morphine Love Dion‘s makeup skills. Referring to the mini challenge, Jessica said that Plane Jane is the most delusional on the cast and Trixie made the point that delusional drag queens are not a bad thing.

Airing concurrently with the main show is its tea-spilling, backstage-focused sister series “Untucked,” now in its 15th season. For this week’s challenge, the queens worked in teams to present silly seminars in their best corporate drag in promotion of the fake week of “Drag Awareness Month.”
After receiving their critiques from the judges, the queens made their way to the “Untucked Lounge” to reflect on their performances in the maxi challenge and 80s inspired runway looks. The consensus in the room was that this was the hardest challenge so far this season and they agreed that the hosting aspect and structure is what made it so difficult. Q was “thrilled” with her performance alongside Plane Jane and thought that this was her moment to “snatch another win.” Everyone loved the “slides and clips” joke that they incorporated in to their presentation,...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on March 15 with the eleventh episode in RuPaul’s quest to find “America’s next drag superstar.” Previously in episode ten, the queens promoted the power of voting by adding original verses to RuPaul’s newest hit “Power.” In a surprising twist, Sapphira Cristál and Morphine Love Dion were named the top two and asked to face off in a Lip Sync for the Win. Sapphira earned her second maxi challenge win by defeating Morphine while Plane Jane contributed to what became a non-elimination episode by sparing Nymphia Wind with her soon-to-expire Immunity Potion.

For this week’s challenge, the final seven queens inspired the audience with original verses to Ru’s new song “Power,” an empowering anthem encouraging young people to exercise their right to vote.
In the last chance to use her Immunity Potion lest it would expire, Plane Jane decided to gift the safety to her sister Nymphia Wind. Safe from elimination meant Nymphia would not receive critiques and so she retreated to the Untucked Lounge alone while the others remained on the Main Stage. Once they returned, Dawn thought there was “an evident top three” of Sapphira Cristál, Morphine Love Dion and Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige.

In their recap of the episode, Sasha and Trixie have fun addressing the “unsolicited shade” of this season and how even when Plane Jane calls anyone “sister” feels like subtle shade as well. Sasha gives Jane some defense by admitting that as drag queens they all “just have a crippling desire for people to love us” and Jane is no different. When it came to the reading challenge of her season, Sasha was impressed by Loosey Laduca and Malaysia Babydoll Foxx; this season the standouts for her were Jane and Xunami Muse.

For this week’s challenge, the nine remaining queens got to participate in the iconic “Snatch Game” with their best celebrity impersonations. The three safe queens this week were Dawn as Meghan McCain, Q as Amelia Earhart, and Plasma as Patti LuPone so they were the first to return to the Werk Room while the tops and bottoms received critiques from the judges.
Despite dreaming about winning “Snatch Game” for a long time, Plasma was “fine” with being safe because she wasn’t as confident with her performance as she thought she’d be.

Dawn was equally fine with the decision, understanding that she didn’t stand out in the group. They both gave a “cheers” to Q for her first...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on February 23 with the eighth episode in RuPaul’s quest to find “America’s next drag superstar.” Previously in episode seven, Plasma enjoyed her shining moment as the star and challenge winner in “The Sound of Rusic” while Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige and Megami didn’t strike a chord with the judges in their supporting roles. Despite a flipless Lip Sync for Your Life, Mhi’ya came out on top once again and sent Megami back to New York.
This week, the remaining 9 queens head to the celebrity dais with the classic impersonation challenge, “Snatch Game.” Seated at the judges’ dais for episode 8 was Emmy winning host RuPaul Charles, longtime bestie Michelle Visage, recurring judge Carson Kressley, and actress Kyra Sedgwick as the extra special guest.

All season long, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” fans will be making their predictions at Gold Derby for who they think will win Season 16, and who will be eliminated next. After the ousters of Hershii LiqCour-Jeté, Mirage, Amanda Tori Meating, Geneva Karr and Megami, the next boot is expected to take place in Episode 8, airing February 23 on MTV.

Do you agree or disagree with your fellow viewers? There is still time to make your picks at Gold Derby before the cut-off time on Friday night at 5:00 p.m. Pt.

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Trixie Mattel recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s seventh episode, musician and one-time judge of the show Orville Peck makes his “Pit Stop” debut. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of the episode, Orville tells Trixie that he’s watched the show since season one and she shares that he acts like a drag queen when they spend time together in their personal life. Orville calls season 5 his favorite of all time because of how classic their “Untucked” episodes were. The two share commentary on large makeup like Dawn‘s considering former contestants like Trixie, Mimi Imfurst and Bianca Del Rio had to explain their “club kid makeup” back then, but now queens like Dawn and the Methyd family just get to exist.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on February 16 with episode 7 on MTV. Airing concurrently with the main show is its tea-spilling, backstage-focused sister series “Untucked,” now in its 15th season. For this week’s challenge, the 10 remaining queens sang and danced their way through the Rusical “The Sound of Rusic.” The four safe queens this week, Plane Jane, Nymphia Wind, Xunami Muse and Dawn, were the first to return to the Werk Room while the tops and bottoms received critiques from the judges.
Relieved to be safe in one of the notoriously difficult challenges, the four queens realized that the top three were likely Sapphira Cristál, Q and Plasma and if Morphine Love Dion deserves a safe spot that would leave Megami and Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige in the bottom. Jane brought out her shade card when she referred to Plasma’s look in the Rusical as “rancid” and then...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on February 16 with the seventh episode in RuPaul’s quest to find “America’s next drag superstar.” Previously in episode six, Geneva Karr‘s branded doll edition was among the judges’ least favorite and she found herself in the bottom for the third time. This time she faced off against Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige who came fully loaded with an arsenal of lip synching tricks and sent Geneva packing. Meanwhile, Q broke the curse of safety and finally earned her first maxi challenge win.
This week, the remaining 10 queens take the stage with song and dance in the dynamic Rusical challenge. Seated at the judges’ dais for episode 7 titled “The Sound of Rusic” was Emmy winning host RuPaul Charles, longtime bestie Michelle Visage, recurring judge Ross Mathews, and musical theater director and choreographer Adam Shankman as the extra special guest.

Each week on “Whatcha Packin’,” Michelle Visage interviews the recently eliminated queen and shows us some of the runway looks they didn’t get the chance to use on the show. Following her episode 6 elimination, Geneva Karr says that she “knew what I was getting into” by signing up for the show because she grew up in the pageant world, which is why she was able to receive critiques from the judges with positivity. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In her interview with Michelle, Geneva explains that though she’s from Texas, the part of the state that she comes from (Brownsville) does not have many queens and is “pretty small.” She hopes that being the first will lead to other girls from that area seeing that they can do it, too. Without a big drag scene to perform in,...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on February 9 with episode 6 on MTV. Airing concurrently with the main show is its tea-spilling, backstage-focused sister series “Untucked,” now in its 15th season. For this week’s challenge, the 11 remaining queens were asked to bring their sewing, branding and storytelling skills to the table all at once by creating fresh looks for a doll version of themselves. Returning first to the Werk Room as this week’s safe queens was freshly immunized Sapphira Cristál as well as Morphine Love Dion, Xunami Muse, Megami and Nymphia Wind.
Sapphira took RuPaul Charles up on the opportunity to use her Immunity Potion on herself this week, admittedly yet regrettably spooked by the commentary the other girls had offered up earlier in the day and having been vulnerable in last week’s “Girl Groups” challenge. Once she used the potion, Sapphira quickly realized that she may not have...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on February 9 with the sixth episode in RuPaul’s quest to find “America’s next drag superstar.” Previously in episode five, Amanda Tori Meating wowed her peers and the judges with her dancing skills in the “Girl Groups” challenge, but a miss on concept on the runway landed her in the bottom two anyway. In a Lip Sync for Your Life to new-to-the-bottom Q, Amanda lost out and became the third queen to leave the competition.
This week, the remaining 11 queens return to the sewing machine for what Ru refers to as a “design, branding and storytelling” challenge to create a customized doll version of themselves. Seated at the judges’ dais for episode 6 titled “Welcome to the DollHouse” was Emmy winning host RuPaul Charles, longtime bestie Michelle Visage, recurring judge Ts Madison, and legendary stylist Law Roach as the extra special guest.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on February 2 with the fifth episode in RuPaul’s quest to find “America’s next drag superstar.” Previously in episode four, Plasma served up a perfect Barbra Streisand and sang her way to a challenge win in “Rdr Live!,” while Geneva Karr found herself in the bottom for a second straight week. Though not quite a “lip sync assassin” yet, Geneva was able to best Mirage in the Lip Sync for Your Life. Mirage, who had admittedly not known the lyrics to the song, left in tears with her sisters stirring in the emotions of her premature exit.
This week, the remaining 12 queens write and perform their own original verses as part of girl groups to three of RuPaul’s hits. Seated at the judges’ dais for episode 5 titled “Girl Groups” was Emmy winning host RuPaul Charles, longtime bestie Michelle Visage, recurring judge Ts Madison,...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on January 26 with episode 4 on MTV. Airing concurrently with the main show is its tea-spilling, backstage-focused sister series “Untucked,” now in its 15th season. For this week’s challenge, the 13 remaining queens appeared in the sketch comedy spoof “Rdr Live!” where they had to perform live for the judges in one take. “Untucked” takes place after the first group of queens are declared safe and the rest receive critiques from the judges.
As safe queens, both Morphine Love Dion and Dawn were relieved to survive a difficult comedy challenge, but were so happy with their performances that they thought they might have appeared among the top queens. Overall, the group knew that Q was among the top because she “turned it” as the brick during Weekend Update. Megami felt the same about Plane Jane‘s performance in their skit. Figuring that Plasma was also in the top,...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 continued on January 26 with the fourth episode in RuPaul’s quest to find “America’s next drag superstar.” Following two non-elimination premiere episodes Part 1 and Part 2, the girls walked in the “The Mother of All Balls” in episode 3 where Hershii LiqCour-Jeté served the three looks that wowed her peers and the judges the least. Hershii lost the Lip Sync for Your Life to a surprised-to-be-ranked-at-the-bottom Geneva Karr. The winner of the week was Nymphia Wind who created a look from scratch that was declared as one of the best in series herstory.
This week, Geneva, Nymphia and the remaining 11 queens get in their comedy gigs for a live, one-take acting challenge. Seated at the judges’ dais for episode 4 titled “Rdr Live!” was Emmy winning host RuPaul Charles, longtime bestie Michelle Visage, recurring judge Ross Matthews, and the original “Slayer” Sarah Michelle Gellar as the extra special guest.
