RuPaul's Drag Race Season 1 Episode 6 Absolut Drag Ball

The sixth episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 1 is named Absolut Drag Ball. In this episode, the seven remaining contestants are faced with three challenges as they are required to create their own looks for a drag ball. The winner of the challenge would receive a cash prize and would get to appear in Absolut Vodka's ad campaign. The first challenge is to create a swimsuit and beach look, the second challenge is to create an executive realness look, and the final challenge is to create a glamorous evening gown look.

Throughout the episode, the contestants are shown in their respective workspaces, discussing their strategies and ideas for each of the challenges. Some contestants, such as Nina Flowers, are confident and have clear ideas of what they are going to do, while others, like Shannel, are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. The contestants are also shown helping each other out, offering advice, and in some cases, lending each other pieces of their own wardrobe.

Once it's time for the runway, the judges are shown critiquing each contestant's looks. The judges are looking for creativity, originality, and overall presentation. They also pay attention to the contestants' makeup, hair, and accessories. In the first round, there are some standout looks, such as Nina Flowers's beach-inspired look and Rebecca Glasscock's Wonder Woman-inspired outfit. In the executive realness challenge, some of the contestants struggle to portray an executive character, while others impress the judges, such as Bebe Zahara Benet, who impresses with her African-inspired look. Finally, in the last challenge, the contestants are expected to take their glamour to the next level, and while some stun on the runway, others fall short.

In addition to the runway challenges, the contestants also have to showcase their lip-syncing skills, as two of them are given the chance to compete against each other in a lip sync battle for survival. The person who wins the lip-sync battle stays in the competition, while the other is eliminated.

Overall, the Absolut Drag Ball episode is filled with drama, laughter, and high stakes. The contestants are pushed to their limits as they are tasked with creating multiple looks in a short amount of time. While some shine on the runway, others falter, making it clear that winning the competition requires more than just looking good. As the season progresses, the pressure only intensifies, and the audience is left wondering who will come out on top.
