- File:Symbol opinion vote.svg Comment: This submission is part of a larger effort to get articles about RuPaul's Drag Race episodes restored to the main space. This episode has received in-depth reviews by multiple independent and reliable sources (I've included a few in the table below) and the article is long enough to justify a fork from the season page. This article has also survived AfD previously. I propose a move back to the main space. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:04, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

For the mini-challenge, the six remaining contestants are tasked with appearing in a commercial that promotes RuPaul's perfume for men, titled "Trade". Each contestant is to dress as "butch" men and deliver comedic improvisations. Eureka wins. As the winner of the mini challenge, she is tasked by RuPaul to pair each contestant with six special guests for a make-over challenge.[1] Aquaria is paired with YouTube star Kingsley, Asia O'Hara and Raymond Braun,[2] Eureka and Frankie Grande,[3] Kameron Michaels and Anthony Padilla,[4][5] Miz Cracker and Chester See, and Monét X Change with Tyler Oakley.[6][7] Additionally, each pair must take part in a home-made music video to RuPaul's song "Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent".[8]
RuPaul introduces the runway category, "Drag Family Resemblance". On the main stage, Asia O'Hara and Eureka, alongside their drag daughters America O'Hara and Eufreaka, received positive reviews for their performances and make-overs, but are declared safe. Miz Cracker and her drag daughter Miz Cookie are commended for their performances, make-over, and chemistry, and are deemed the winners of the challenge. The bottom contestants of the week were Aquaria, Kameron and Monét X Change, who were criticized for not having a make-over resemblance to their drag daughters Capricia Corn, Kelly Michaels, and Short Change, respectively. Aquaria is declared safe, while Kameron Michaels and Monét X Change lip-synced to "Good as Hell" by Lizzo.[9] Kameron Michaels wins the lip-sync and Monét X Change is eliminated from the competition.[10]

Reception
[edit | edit source]In their review, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers of Vulture rated the episode three out of five stars.[12] Sam Damshenas of Gay Times called the lip-sync "killer".[13]
Jessica Jalali included Miz Cracker and Miz Cookie in Screen Rant's 2021 list of the show's ten best makeover challenge "transformations" and wrote: "A complete transformation, Miz Cracker delivered a striking drag family resemblance that anyone could deduce that the two were drag family. On top of the irrefutable cohesiveness of the looks, Miz Cracker also helped craft a drag persona for Miz Cookie as the drag newcomer seemed at home on the runway.".[14] The website's Min Ji Park included Heizer in a 2022 list of the show's "ten worst judges, according to Reddit" and wrote, "Miles Heizer was innocent enough in his guest judge appearance on Drag Race but unfortunately didn’t contribute much during that appearance... Fans found that he was too quiet and didn't speak up enough during the episode. Being memorable on an episode of the show is hard enough without being co-judges with Lizzo, but Heizer simply did not make any mark on the show during his appearance, and went down as one of the worst celebrity guest judges in the show's history."[15]
