RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 is nearing its end as the contestants are whittled down to the last six drag queens. Sadly not everyone could make it through to next week. The contestant who impressed Mama Ru and the other judges the least was sadly sent home. Salina EsTitties took the fall this week. Although she gave her best, it wasn't enough to impress the judges.

Ooh I’m mad as hell This week should have been a top two lip sync. Salina never should have been near the bottom, she was amazing in the Rusical! Plus she ate Lucy up in that lip sync. #DragRace #rupaulsdragrace

Im annoyed Salina got eliminated, but I honestly have no idea who i wouldve put in the bottom, they all did so good #DragRace

We know Salina won that lip sync!

And she performed better than Loosey in the Rusical, too.

I was fully expecting no one to go home this week after watching the rusical and hearing the judges critics. Then the deliberations came and girl didn’t they find something to complain about? It’s all very produced. Salina deserved better. #DragRace

There’s absolutely no reason why Salina went home tonight. The producers have really lost the plot #dragrace

It's CRAZY to hear them say "Salina did good tonight" and then they put her in the bottom??? I saw Lux miss steps with my own eyes and I usually never catch those #DragRace

Here's a brief recap on what happened this week on RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 episode 12 only on MTV

This week on RuPaul's Drag Race, the remaining six queens entered the werkroom ready to take on a brand new challenge in the hopes of making it to the next round.

The contestants were challenged to choose a role of their choice for the upcoming Rusical that was a parody of the movie Footloose, set in a fictional small town where dancing was banned for spoiling the youngsters.

Salina started her performance dressed in boy drag. Sadly, the judges were not fans of her look. Ultimately, Salina and Loosey found themselves in the bottom after impressing the judges the least.

In the final dance-off, they had to lipsync to Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush. Salinas giant gloves worked in her favor for this performance. Then she went on to reveal a pair of tiny red gloves under the giant pair. The judges weren't impressed with it. Luckily for Loosey, the gracefullness she showcased during her final performance saved her. Mama Ru eliminated Salina.

RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 airs every Friday at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT on MTV. Readers can check their local listings for more information.
