	Guest Judges: Mini-Challenge: Mini-Challenge Winner: Main Challenge: Challenge Winner: Bottom Two: Eliminated: Miscellaneous Events in the Episode: Before Challenge Harvey feels like it is time for the new generation. So "legends" like Gus and Knox have no place here. Everybody finds that extremely rude. Mini-Challenge Main Challenge Getting Runway Ready Beau Tox says that he has been doing drag for three years now and he loves the idea of transforming his face with make-up. Freddie talks about first doing drag as part of a themed costume party and how he got his aesthetic from old rock and roll records and classic cars. Noah Veil talks about how, in life, they don't take things too seriously unless they need to. He finds that being serious all the time isn't good for health so he finds jokes in a lot of things. This led him to drag. Tom Hawk says how, on stage, he is rugged, overly confident and playful and, off stage, he is calm, warm and a lot more approachable. People expected pure masculinity and were shocked to get a calm, friendly face. Harvey tells everybody that he knows he did an amazing job and that the win is his. When Freddie brings up how he thinks the top four would be Justin, Knox, Sir and Trevor, Harvey tells Freddie that the actual Top 4 is himself, Justin, Sir and Roberto. Judging The Tops and Bottoms are revealed to be Carson Fyre, Harvey Hunt, Justin Luck, Noah Veil, Sir Kiss and Trevor Roshus. Harvey is notably happy until the judging starts where he shakes his head everytime he gets a critique. Sir Kiss is declared the winner while Carson Fyre, Noah Veil and Harvey Hunt are revealed to be the Bottom 3. It was revealed that the winner of the challenge would save one person from the Bottom 3. The winner, Sir Kiss, chose Noah Veil. Elimination Before Carson and Harvey could lipsync, Harvey speaks up and says that, if he is going to be disrespected like this, he doesn't want to be here anymore. Harvey says that this is the time for a new generation of drag artists and anybody over 30 is past their prime. Matthias and Trevor call out Harvey for being delusional. The judges tell Harvey that nothing in life is free and maybe he has some growing up to do before going into a competition like this. Harvey tells them to put somebody else in the bottom. The judges choose to eject him right there.
Episode 2	Guest Judges: Mini-Challenge: Mini-Challenge Winner: Main Challenge: Challenge Winner: Bottom Two: Eliminated: Miscellaneous Events in the Episode: Before Challenge Mini-Challenge Main Challenge Austin and Noah joke around quite a bit with the other kings. Gus is super supportive of everybody and helps out where he can. Sir and Trevor are notably good friends at this point. Fashion king, Beau Tox, is so confused on why campy kings like Gaybriel won when a drag competition should focus more on looks. This gets the ire of camp kings, Austin Nuendo and Noah Veil. Getting Runway Ready Roberto admits to feeling like they may be in the bottom but they don't plan to let that get to them. If they have to lip-sync, they'll do it and then try harder next week. Tom Hawk talks about how he grew up in a small, tight-knit community in Panovos, Principa. His parents are both music teachers and had him learn the piano, violin and the acoustic guitar. Matthias talks about The Johnville Massacre in 2009 and how he was there in Sassarta when it happened. He lived three blocks from a lot of the danger. He would hear car crashes and screaming and, at times, the screaming was only a block away. He and his parents hid in the basement. After that, they put the house up for sale and moved. It took him eight years before he was able to go back to Sassarta. Judging Elimination
Episode 3	Guest Judges: Mini-Challenge: Mini-Challenge Winner: Main Challenge: Challenge Winner: Bottom Two: Eliminated: Miscellaneous Events in the Episode: Before Challenge Beau Tox says that he is hoping that there isn't an acting challenge. He is so confused on why these challenges exist when it has nothing to do with drag. While Matthias and Gus try to politely point out how there is more to drag than looks, Beau dismisses them. Mini-Challenge Main Challenge Beau is notably grumpy. Matthias decides to stop being polite and tells them to grow up or maybe watch the show before applying. This leads to a small confrontation between the two. Getting Runway Ready Tom says that his introduction to drag came during his college years. He attended a drag show and was mesmerized by the performances, particularly the drag kings. For the next week, he started experimenting with make-up but he didn't start performing until 2012 and it wasn't his job until 2018. Judging It was revealed that the winner of the challenge would save one person from the Bottom 3. The winner, Gus Tofwind, chose Trevor Roshus, notably annoying Beau Tox. Elimination

Getting Runway Ready Knox Onwood comments on how they know "Sir Kiss" as a a master of flirtation and smooth moves on stage. Sir says that, like Tom, he is not the same on stage as they have all seen. He has learned how to be charismatic but he amps everything up to 100 on stage. He says that he grew up around music, dance, and vibrant celebrations but he used to be so nervous about participating and a part of him wanted to not have regrets so he would muster up courage during high school and that is how he started drag.
