RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16, Episode 6 bids farewell to another queen
The episode opened with a performance by Charu, who was a frequent guest on the show RuPaul's Drag Race. At 73 years old, the performer's charm is unparalleled and a sight to behold. After her performance, the episode moved to its main section, which was designing the dolls.
With celebrity designer Lou Roach serving as guest judge, the segment began with the queens choosing fabrics for their doll designs. They had to focus on three aspects while designing their dolls: design, branding, and storytelling.
The design challenge highlighted each queen's struggle growing up wearing the doll to reflect her heritage and culture. Q showed off her sewing abilities again, as she did in episode four, when the queens were challenged to make their own mothers' clothes. Her design skills, coupled with her talent for storytelling, earned her victory in the main challenge.
The queens cheered when they saw Q get her well-deserved win, in contrast to the shock they felt when Mirage was unexpectedly eliminated in Episode 4. While Mahia Iman LePage and Geneva Carr were at the top in the last episode, they were sent to the bottom this episode to compete against each other. In a lip sync battle.
The main challenge also saw Sapphira use her immunity potion, which came as a surprise to everyone, but that was due to her lack of confidence in her work in this challenge.

The queens had to show off their flamenco skills alongside their partners to win the challenge. Xunami Muse did better than most, earning the title and a trip to Spain.
Geneva Carr finished in second place for the third time this season, and her lip sync practice was perfect. On the other hand, he was never good at the bottom but he took advantage directly. Queen was performed by Janet Jackson He controls. Compared to Mahia, Geneva had fewer stunts to display, as the former took over with her tricks and flips, leaving the audience stunned.
