Trinity circled back with Monét to let her know that Shea is “not on board, not completely.” Jaida said she hadn’t thought too much about the strategy of the game, but that now it could be something she thinks about. Then Jaida walked up and Shea wasn’t shy about bringing her into the fold. Trinity went to Shea next, and though Shea was more open to the concept than Jinkx was she also saw the plan for what it could be–Monét, as the only star-holder without a block so far was setting herself up to avoid being blocked like Shea and Trinity were. Jinkx did offer to Trinity and Monét that she has no plans to block either of them though. They brought Jinkx over first, but while Jinkx was tempted by the offer she ultimately declined because she wants to focus on her own goals rather than bringing anyone else in to that. Throughout the rest of the day, Jaida kept her head down to focus on her construction, determined to make this the challenge that she’d get her star.Īhead of the ball on runway day, Trinity and Monét reconvened to discuss bringing more people in to their alliance. Monét said it’s a secret because she’s playing “Drag Race Survivor” this season. He also wanted to know from Monét how she’s avoided getting the plunger despite being one of the queens with a Legendary Legend Star. When Ru returned for a check-in, he wanted to know from Jinkx how she made her decision for the block, appreciating her take that someone with a Legendary Legend Star already made the most sense to choose. Jinkx was the least excited of them all and sat frustrated in front of the sewing machine until Trinity offered her help later on in the day. Monét looked to the challenge as an opportunity to redeem her infamous sponge dress, but this was her first time back in front of a sewing machine and so that didn’t look very promising. Trinity went bankrupt on her first spin, and then Yvie closed it out by landing on the pink tile, leaving Trinity with the red tile.ĭuring garment construction, Trinity and Raja both showed promise as queens with sewing skills, but Raja was worried about an ambitious idea paired with the pressure of being known as a fashion girl.

Viv stepped up next and spun $1000 and $500, then successfully landed on the blue tile so she got to keep her cash. On her third spin, Yvie spun the bankrupt tile and had to give her money back and step to the back of the line. Jinkx spun purple, Shea spun white, Monét spun green, Jaida spun black, Raja spun gold, and Yvie landed on both cash prizes totaling $1500. To determine their color inspiration, the Pit Crew brought out a giant wheel with color-coded vacation destinations and chances to win cash money. After many guesses and Monét attempting to buy the vowel “Z,” Jinkx successfully guess the clue “Vanna White Party.” That answer was itself a clue at the week’s maxi challenge, “The Realness of Fortune Ball.” For the ball, the queens would serve three looks in the categories “Vanna White Realness,” “Before and After,” and “Realness of Fortune Eleganza” with a look made from scratch based on a single color inspiration. Guessing one letter at a time, the queens went down the line in attempts to guess the secret phrase.

The next day, Ru arrived with hints of “wheels” and “asking for a vowel.” Those clues were teases for the week’s mini challenge, “Hungman,” a play on the classic game hangman with a before and after word puzzle. It was unclear if the other girls were buying into the ruse or not. When Shea returned, she took it as a compliment that she was blocked and then hinted that there’s a secret power to the plunger and Trinity played along. Jinkx explained that she blocked Shea not only because she was one of two other queens with a Legendary Legend Star already, but also because she believes she’s likely to do well in the other challenges and Snatch Game would be one of few chances to block her. In this week’s episode 3, titled “The Realness of Fortune Ball,” the eight queens were asked to walk the runway in three distinct looks all inspired by the iconic “Wheel of Fortune” game show. Which queens earned the week’s Legendary Legend Stars and which of the top two got to block another queen for next week? Check out our recap of the episode below:įollowing Jinkx’s win, the girls returned to the Werk Room with congratulations all around. So far, Shea, Jinkx and Monét hold one star each, and Trinity is the only one to be successfully blocked. The blocked queen cannot earn a Legendary Legend Star in the next challenge. In addition, each week the top two performers earn a “Legendary Legend Star” which must be collected throughout the season in order to make the final four.
