Episode Details

It’s Season 18, Episode 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and the queens are finding out that sisterhood is a lie when there’s a "Rate-A-Queen" ballot in their hands. The snark squad is dissecting the return of peer voting, which—as expected—sparked enough strategic alliances and low-balling to make a politician blush. Despite the backstabbing, Juicy Love Dion and Mia Starr managed to rise above the mess, sharing a win after a lip sync that actually deserved the hype. On the other end of the spectrum, Ciara Myst found herself flopping into the bottom, but thanks to the production’s refusal to let a good drama end early, no one was sent packing this week. Between the blatant tactical voting and the "Kumbaya" non-elimination, this episode proved that the only thing more fake than the queens' padding is the way they rank each other in the Werk Room.
