In The Boulet Brothers' Dragula season 3 episode 1, titled "The Lesser of Two Evils", ten drag artists who refer to themselves as "monsters" take on a series of challenges to showcase their skills and creativity in the underground world of drag. The competition is hosted by the Boulet Brothers, who are known for their love of horror, glamour, and all things macabre.
As the episode begins, viewers are introduced to the ten contestants and get a glimpse of their unique aesthetics and personalities. The Boulet Brothers inform the monsters that they will be split into two teams, each of which will have to compete against each other in a series of challenges. The losing team will be forced to choose one of their members to enter a "floor show", where they will compete against a member of the winning team to avoid elimination.
The first challenge requires the teams to create a concept and performance inspired by a horror movie monster. After brainstorming and rehearsing, the monsters take to the stage to perform their acts in front of the judges, the Boulet Brothers and special guest judge Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
The second challenge is a "creature feature", where each team has to create a look inspired by a specific animal, complete with a backstory and a unique runway presentation. The monsters get to work on their designs, with some struggling to bring their ideas to life while others excel under the pressure.
As the challenges come to a close, tensions rise as the losing team is forced to choose one of their own to enter the floor show. Each team member presents their case for why they should not be the one chosen, leading to emotional and intense moments among the contestants.
In the final moments of the episode, the chosen members from each team face off in a terrifying floor show, where they must embody their idea of "evil" and impress the judges with their performance. The episode ends with the Boulet Brothers announcing the results of the floor show and revealing which contestant will be eliminated from the competition.
Overall, "The Lesser of Two Evils" sets the stage for an exciting and unpredictable season of The Boulet Brothers' Dragula, showcasing the unique talents of each monster and hinting at the horrors to come.
