The bottom two queens who had to lip-sync for their lives were Hormona Lisa and Acacia Forgot, and they performed a lip-sync to Ariana Grande‘s “Yes, And?”
So, who lost the lip-sync according to RuPaul?
HORMONA LISA!
Acacia Forgot was declared the winner, leaving Hormona Lisa as the seemingly eliminated queen.
However, RuPaul shocked the queens with a new twist – the “The Badonka Dunk Tank.”
Here’s how it works: Following the lipsync, each eliminated queen has a chance to receive immunity and save themselves from having to sashay away. Queens will choose from 10 levers and if they pick one of the two levers that dunks Michelle Visage, they get to remain in the competition. If not, they will be eliminated.
Hormona pulled lever No 7, and after a few seconds of anticipation, Michelle was dropped into the tank.
She was then saved from elimination AND she even won a trip to Las Vegas!
There are still all 14 queens in the competition and moving on to the next week. Get to know each queen here…
