The bottom two queens who faced the ultimate challenge of lip-syncing for their lives were the fierce Hormona Lisa and the stunning Acacia Forgot. They battled it out to the electrifying tune of Ariana Grande‘s “Yes, And?”, showcasing their talents in a heart-pounding performance.
So, who was ultimately declared the loser of the lip-sync battle by the incomparable RuPaul?
HORMONA LISA!
In a dramatic turn of events, Acacia Forgot was hailed as the winner of the lip-sync showdown, leaving Hormona Lisa seemingly eliminated from the competition.
However, in a shocking twist that took the queens by surprise, RuPaul introduced an unexpected new element – “The Badonka Dunk Tank.”
Here’s how this intriguing twist works: After the lip-sync performance, each eliminated queen has the opportunity to gain immunity and save themselves from being forced to sashay away. The queens will choose from ten levers, and if they select one of the two levers that results in Michelle Visage getting dunked, they secure their place in the competition. If they do not choose wisely, they face elimination.
Hormona pulled lever No. 7, and after a suspenseful few moments, Michelle was dramatically dropped into the tank. This unexpected turn of events led to a celebration as Hormona was saved from elimination AND won an exciting trip to Las Vegas!
With all 14 queens still competing, the show continues to promise thrilling challenges and unforgettable performances. Get to know each queen and their unique stories here…
