Ep 7. From Farm to Runway

In RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 episode 7, titled "From Farm to Runway," the remaining queens are put to the test as they must work with unconventional materials. The challenge requires the queens to create chic runway looks using fabrics typically found on the farm, such as burlap and denim.

The episode opens with the queens discussing last week's elimination and reflecting on their own performances. Some are feeling confident, while others are unsure if they can continue to compete at such a high level.

RuPaul then enters the workroom and announces the week's mini challenge. The queens must create their own country-western looks using cowboy hats and boots, as well as other accessories provided by RuPaul's Drag Race. The winner of the mini challenge will have an advantage in the main challenge.

After the mini challenge, the queens get to work on their farm-to-runway looks. There are a variety of approaches, with some queens using the unconventional materials to create stunning designs, while others struggle to make their creations look fashionable.

As the queens work, they also take time to talk about their experiences growing up on farms, and how those experiences influenced their drag personas. There are emotional moments as some queens share stories of hardship, while others discuss the joys of rural life.

Eventually, the runway day arrives, and the queens must present their farm-inspired looks to the judges. In addition to RuPaul, the judging panel includes Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and special guest judge Kacey Musgraves.

The runway is filled with unique and creative designs, with some queens really pushing themselves to make the unconventional materials work. The judges offer critiques, praising the queens who were able to make the farm fabrics look high fashion, and questioning those who struggled to create cohesive looks.

After the runway, RuPaul announces the safe queens and the top and bottom performers. The top queens are praised for their creativity and ingenuity, while the bottom queens are criticized for their lackluster designs. One queen in particular faces harsh criticism for not taking risks and playing it safe.

In the end, one queen is declared the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. The episode concludes with the remaining queens reflecting on the competition and what it means to them, as they gear up for the next challenge.
