However, an additional wrinkle was added to the mix. Each of the regular judges ( Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews and Ts Madison) selected one of the 11 eliminated queens to return. From that list, one name was drawn at random, and that queen will also be added to the final Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown.

After a season of a new format and inconsequential drama, it’s a relief to come to an episode overloaded with drag performance.

Last week, in their first of two challenges in this round, Ginger Minj earned her third series "Snatch Game" win for her portrayal of "The Queen of Country" and apparent phone sex operator, Reba McEntire. Lip syncing for their life in the bottom two, Mistress Isabelle Brooks sent Cynthia Lee Fontaine home.
