As the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race season 13 prepare for the Bag Ball, tensions run high in the Untucked lounge. This episode focuses on the behind-the-scenes drama as the queens decompress after the runway.
The Bag Ball challenges the queens to show off their fashion skills by creating three looks using bags. The first look requires them to use a brown paper bag as their material, the second look requires them to create an evening gown using clear plastic bags, and the third look gives them free reign to choose any material as long as it is a bag. As the queens get ready for the runway, they discuss their fears and strategies for the challenge.
In the Untucked lounge, the queens come together to chat and let off steam. Symone, who had a rocky start in the competition, is feeling more confident after winning last week's challenge. She reflects on the importance of self-love, while the other queens express their admiration for her talent.
Meanwhile, Tamisha Iman opens up about her health struggles. She recently revealed that she is a cancer survivor and has been dealing with chronic pain. The other queens offer her emotional support, and Tamisha reflects on how drag has been a source of strength for her.
As the queens reflect on their performances, some are feeling more confident than others. Gottmik is proud of her looks, while Kandy Muse is worried about her critique on the runway. Rosé feels like she didn't do her best, and Olivia Lux is surprised that the judges didn't like her brown paper bag look more.
Jaida Essence Hall, the winner of season 12, pays a visit to the Untucked lounge to offer her advice and encouragement. She gives the queens tips on how to handle the nerves and pressure of the competition. The queens express their admiration for Jaida and her fashion prowess.
As the episode comes to a close, RuPaul invites the queens back to the main stage for the judges' critiques. The Untucked lounge is filled with anticipation as the queens wait to learn their fate. Will their bag-themed looks earn them high praise or harsh criticism? All will be revealed in this exciting episode of RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked.
