## Episodes

**Episode 1: Spring Into Action (airdate: March 16, 2020):**The first five queens of Season 1 arrive into the werkroom (Katie, Brandee, Wiintrr, Klown, and Seven). After entrances, RuPaul informs the queens it's a split premiere and those queens are the first to compete. They are told the challenge is a runway showcase of two looks from their Spring/Summer 2020 collections. While getting ready for the challenge, Klown annoys everyone by walking around in her runway look and twerking, meanwhile Brandee wonders if Seven is going to remain antisocial. After the runway, Brandee, Katie, and Seven all receive positive critiques. Wiintrr receives mostly positive critiques but is told that she faded into the background, while Klown gets negative critiques. The queens question their placements in untucked, before being called back for results. Katie, Wiintrr, and Klown are called safe, and just when it looks like Brandee and Seven are up for elimination it is revealed they are in fact the top two of the week and there is no elimination. The two winners lip-sync for a cash tip of $5000, and perform Doja Cat's "Boss Bitch". Brandee flounders in the lip-sync, trying to hide that she doesn't know the words by twerking aggressively. Seven meanwhile pulls out all the stops. Seven is declared the winner of the lip-sync, and the queens are warned about the impending arrival of the remaining five.

After the runway, Autto, Cherri, Nova all get positive critiques, Thalassa receives mixed critiques, and Dairy gets mostly negative critiques on her looks though she's told her personality is great. The queens head to untucked, where Thalassa comforts Dairy when she fears that she's in the bottom. Cherri, Thalassa, and Dairy are all called safe, leaving Autto and Nova as the top two of the week.
