The latest episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16, which aired on Friday, January 26, brought another round of fierce competition and elimination. In this recap, we’ll delve into the highlights and find out which queen faced the chopping block.
In Episode 4, the remaining 13 queens engaged in the RDR Live challenge, a Drag Race spin on the beloved Saturday Night Live. The challenge demanded the queens showcase their live sketch comedy skills in a single take, setting the stage for potential conflicts over role assignments.
Plane Jane and Morphine found themselves at odds over a role, but it was Megami who ultimately secured the part. Similar rivalries unfolded between Sapphira and Mirage for the host role, and Dawn and Plasma had their share of disagreements. During the monologue, Mirage stumbled over her words, while Plasma impressed the judges with her Barbra Streisand impression.
For the runway segment, the queens were tasked with recreating iconic looks of the legendary Cher. Notably, without the ‘Rate-a-queen’ segment, Plasma emerged as the winner for the week.
Elimination Drama
As the judges evaluated both the challenge and runway performances, the bottom three spots were occupied by Geneva, Mhi’ya, and Mirage. Geneva faced her second consecutive time in the bottom, that lead her to participate in the lip-sync battle.
In the lip-sync battle set to Cher’s “Dark Lady,” Geneva competed against Mirage. Unfortunately, Mirage faced elimination as it became evident that she struggled with the lyrics of the song.
