Eight previous contestants from the Drag Race Franchise enter the workroom.

Instead, the Top 2 All Stars of the week each receive a Beautiful Benefactress Badge, then participate in a Lip Sync for Your Legacy. The winner of the lip sync earns a $10,000 charity donation and the opportunity to "cut off" one of the six safe queens, meaning that even if she wins the next week's challenge, she will be prevented from winning a badge.
