During the challenge, contestants were required to record their own vocals, then dance and lip-sync on the main stage as they portrayed various characters and other aspects of the burlesque. Leland assisted with the vocal recording process; choreography was supervised by Leslie Jordan. Both would appear in the performance portraying Christian and the Duke of Dickington, respectively. Gabe Lopez produced the music. [3]
The runway theme was "Mirror, Mirror". RuPaul named Lady Camden the winner, while Bosco and Jorgeous placed in the bottom two. After lip-syncing to "Heartbreak Hotel (Hex Hector Remix)" by Whitney Houston, Jorgeous was declared a winner but Bosco was saved from elimination due to "Golden Candy Bar" twist introduced early in the season.
