In addition to RuPaul, the judges are Visage and Ross Mathews.^[4] Sasha Colby is declared the winner of the challenge. Luxx Noir London is deemed safe, placing Anetra and Mistress Isabelle Brooks in the bottom. The two face off in a lip-sync to "When Love Takes Over", but neither is eliminated from the competition.

Reception

Trae DeLellis of The A.V. Club gave the episode a rating a 'B'.^[6] Charlie Ducan of PinkNews opined, "The verses are surprisingly original for the umpteenth cast version of a Ru song in the past few years, and though an otherwise frontrunner stumbles in her offering, the music video is sickening."^[7] Production designer Gianna Costa received an Emmy Award nomination for the episode.^[8]
