Ep 3. RuCo's Empire

In RuPaul's Drag Race season 8 episode 3, titled RuCo's Empire, the queens compete in a challenge inspired by the hit TV series Empire. To kick things off, celebrity stylist Carson Kressley joins RuPaul and Michelle Visage on the judges' panel. As the queens strut onto the main stage, it becomes clear that the competition is getting fiercer by the minute.

This week's mini-challenge sees the queens compete in a mini-acting challenge, where they have to show off their improv skills to a panel of judges. In true Drag Race fashion, the challenge is far from easy, and the queens have to stay quick on their feet to impress the judges. The winner of the mini-challenge gets a special advantage in the main challenge, which this week is a comedy sketch.

For the main challenge, the queens are tasked with creating a sketch inspired by the hit show Empire. They have to play characters from the fictional Lyon family and also incorporate a lot of the campy humor that Drag Race is known for. The queens need to bring their A-game to the challenge, as they're being judged not only on their performance, but also on how well they create and execute their characters.

The queens have a lot of fun with the challenge, unleashing their inner divas and creating some hilarious moments along the way. While some of the queens struggle with their lines and characterizations, others steal the show with their fabulous performances. As usual, RuPaul and the judges are not pulling any punches and give some honest critiques to the queens.

In the runway segment of the show, the queens go all out with their looks, putting on some of the most glamorous and outrageous outfits that Drag Race has ever seen. Each queen has to embody a different emotion on the runway, and they all rise to the challenge, showing off their creativity and fashion sense.

As the episode draws to a close, RuPaul delivers the final verdict. The winner of the challenge is crowned, while the bottom two queens are left to face off in a lip-sync battle to stay in the competition. The stakes are high, and the queens leave it all out on the stage.

Overall, RuPaul's Drag Race season 8 episode 3 is a must-watch for fans of the show. The challenge is entertaining and showcases the queens' incredible talent, while the judging is as ruthless as ever. The runway segment is also a highlight of the episode, with the queens pulling out all the stops to impress the judges and audience alike.
