On Season 15, Ep. 6 - Old Friends Gold, The internet’s favorite “Old Gays” are brought in to introduce this week's challenge, Golden Gal Groups, as the queens divide into three groups of four. The genre choices, which are to be decided between the girls, are hip-hop, metal, and country, and nobody wants country because drag queens don’t listen to a lot of country. The runway category this week is tie-dye. The tops are Mistress, Sasha, and Aura, with Aura winning. Jax and Robin are in the bottom two, as expected. The pair lip sync for their lives to “In Your Room” by the Bangles. Robin, who was described as forgettable in the group competition, goes home.

This week, the queens exchange flatulence for canned laughter, as the melodramatic acting challenge returns in sitcom form. The Emmy-winning drag queen competition is broadcast Fridays at 7:00 pm CT on MTV.
