MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 returned for an all-new episode on Friday night. This week, the remaining drag queens entered the werk room, ready to slay their way into impressing Mama Ru and the other judges. Sadly, one talented contestant was eliminated at the end of the episode. It was none other than Robin Fierce.

Adding to that, this week's episode showcased Robin Fierce's exit after she lost the lip sync battle. Fans were even more upset, claiming that Robin didn't deserve to be eliminated and that the drag queen had barely got any screen time over the past few weeks. Many took to social media to share their opinions.

RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 recently premiered but with a change in air time. From 90 minutes to 60 minutes. It had already upset fans who claimed that the series would cut a lot out of the competition, and because of that, they wouldn't get to see all the contestants perform.

Taking to Twitter, fans claimed that Robin shouldn't have been eliminated. Many also added that she didn't deserve to be at the bottom as she performed way better than Jax. Some fans shared that Robin has barely got any screen time throughout the season so far and that limited air time is to blame.


A brief recap of what happened this week on RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 episode 6

Titled Old Friends Gold, the official synopsis for episode 6 reads:

"The queens fast forward 50 years to perform in old lady girl groups, singing about life, love, and growing old with your besties; actress and comedian Megan Stalter guest judges."

This week, Aura surprised everyone when she skated the runway during the maxi challenge and took home her first win of the season. Meanwhile, Anetra found herself among the bottom three but was sent to safety while Jax and Robin had to lip sync for life.

The two drag queens had to battle it out and perform The Bangles’ In Your Room. Although both performed their best, one could only be saved. Finally, Mama Ru eliminated Robin and saved Jax.

While Robin was exiting the stage, Mama Ru told her:

"You’re a young queen, but you’ll be fierce forever."

Right before Robin left the werkroom and sashayed away from the competition, she said:

"I definitely wish that I could have shown a more fun side, a more relaxed side. But I am happy to have been a part of this Drag Racejourney. I’m one of the legendary girls, darling!"

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