In the twelfth episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 10, entitled "American," the remaining contestants are challenged to showcase their patriotic pride in a special runway show featuring red, white, and blue looks.
As the episode begins, the tension in the workroom is palpable as the remaining queens realize that they are only a few challenges away from the coveted title of America's Next Drag Superstar. The stakes are higher than ever, and the pressure is on to outshine one another with their creativity and charisma.
To kick things off, RuPaul appears in the workroom to introduce this week's mini-challenge: a game of "Pants Down, Bottoms Up," which involves guessing the identities of various celebrity booty shots. The queens are in high spirits as they compete for the chance to choose their own fabrics for the main challenge.
The main challenge, as mentioned earlier, is an homage to all things American. The queens must create an original look that incorporates red, white, and blue in a unique and innovative way. As they work on their designs, tensions rise and tempers flare, with several of the queens struggling to stay focused and on task.
After a dramatic runway show, the judges (including guest star Lena Dunham) deliberate and deliver their critiques. Some of the queens receive high marks for their fabulous looks, while others are criticized for their lackluster efforts. In the end, one queen is crowned the winner of the challenge, while two end up in the bottom.
In the final moments of the episode, the tension ramps up even further as the bottom two queens face off in a lip-sync battle for their lives. The stakes are high, as one will be sent home and the other will move on to the next round of the competition.
Overall, "American" is an emotional and intense episode that showcases the best and worst of the remaining queens. With only a few episodes left to go, the competition is heating up and the stakes have never been higher. Will your favorite queen make it to the end? Tune in to find out.
