In RuPaul's Drag Race season 2 episode 8, titled "Golden Gals," the remaining contestants are tasked with the challenge of embodying a golden era Hollywood starlet and performing a classic comedy sketch in front of the judges and a live audience.
The episode begins with RuPaul announcing the challenge, much to the excitement and nerves of the queens. They are given a limited amount of time to research and prepare for their performances, which will require them to tap into their comedic skills and channel the energy and charisma of Hollywood legends like Lucille Ball, Betty White, and Joan Rivers.
As they begin to work on their sketches, tensions run high among some of the contestants. One queen struggles to find the right costume and makeup to capture the essence of her chosen starlet, while another struggles to come up with a comedic routine that will showcase her strengths.
In between rehearsals, the contestants also have to prepare for the runway challenge, which involves creating a fashion-forward look inspired by their golden era starlet. They work with the show's resident fashion guru, Santino Rice, to hone their looks and present them in front of the judges.
As the live show approaches, the queens are put to the test as they perform their sketches in front of a live audience and the judges, who will be looking for comedic timing, improvisation skills, and a strong connection to their chosen characters.
After the performances, the contestants present their runway looks and face critique from the judges. Some are praised for their creativity and attention to detail, while others face criticism for not fully embodying the spirit of their starlet or for failing to take risks with their fashion choices.
Ultimately, one queen is crowned the winner of the challenge and earns immunity from elimination, while the others face the daunting task of lip-syncing for their lives in a bid to stay in the competition.
Overall, "Golden Gals" is an intense and entertaining episode that showcases the talents and struggles of the remaining Drag Race contestants. From comedy to fashion, the queens are pushed to the limit as they strive to impress the judges and secure a place in the next round of the competition.
