78 | 1 | "Drag Queens Save the World" | May 17, 2024 | |
Eight previous contestants from the Drag Race Franchise enter the workroom. RuPaul reveals the season's format: the contestants are playing for their chosen charities and, similar to All Stars 7, there will be no eliminations throughout the season. Instead, the Top 2 All Stars of the week each receive a Beautiful Benefactress Badge, then participate in a Lip Sync for Your Legacy. The winner of the lip sync earns a $10,000 charity donation and the opportunity to "cut off" one of the six safe queens, meaning that even if she wins the next week's challenge, she will be prevented from winning a badge. At the end of the season, the three queens with the most Beautiful Benefactress Badges will be eligible for the crown. For the first mini-challenge, the queens read each other to filth. Roxxxy Andrews wins the mini-challenge. For the main challenge, the queens write and perform original verses and choreography to RuPaul's song "Drag Queens Save the World".
