All about RuPaul’s Drag Race episode 13

The mini challenge of RuPaul’s Drag Race episode 13 was to paint RuPaul Charles and Dolly Parton’s portrays. The queens were divided into two teams — Daya Betty, Lady Camden, Willow Pill, and Bosco painted Parton, and Angeria Paris VanMicheals, DeJa Skye and Jorgeous painted Charles.

Parton’s team won the mini challenge and got an advantage in deciding the order in which the contestants would perform in the elimination round. Interestingly, no one objected or created drama for a particular place for the main show.

Before the roast round, Michelle Visage and guest judge Dulce Sloan were present at the rehearsals. It didn’t go that well, leaving Jorgeous feeling defeated and Daya Betty feeling terrified. However, the queens delivered a decent performance in the master challenge; while some followed judge’s advise, some completely ignored them and tanked.

Bosco won the roast challenge, while Lady Camden received praise from the judges. The panel of judges included RuPaul Charles, Ross Matthews, Michelle Visage and guest mentor Dulce Sloan. The episode also welcomed Norvina, president of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics, during the mini challenge round.

RuPaul’s Drag Race airs new episodes every Friday on VH1 at 8.00 pm ET.
