Not everyone is meant to be a dancer. Some queens can act, sing or they're a master behind a sewing machine; the lucky few, like Kennedy Davenport or Alyssa Edwards, shine with their dance abilities. During RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 Episode 2, we found out which queens had rhythm...and which ones needed to take a seat.
The 13 remaining queens were paired together into two large groups to create the drug-inspired musical production, "PharmaRusical."
The musical had everything from lip syncs to costumes to acting. And, as mentioned already, the choreography was the key to standing out amongst the crowd. Unfortunately, two of the queens couldn't shine like the rest.
With her second time in the bottom, Kalorie Karbdashian-Williams lost her lip sync against Eureka O'Hara. Kalorie was the second queen of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 to get the boot in a very emotional elimination.
Making up the rest of the hour was a guest appearance by Andy Cohen during the Mini Challenge, Aquaria being called out by one of the other queens, and the return of Drag Race royalty.
Below, we picked out 11 moments from "PharmaRusical" that danced their way into our hearts. What was your favorite moment?
RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 airs Thursdays on VH1 at 8/7c.
11. Asia O'Hara Gagged
Not a single person understood Monet X Change's outfit during RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 Episode 1. She tried to explain it and created something high concept, but it didn't work out. So, when she brought up that she had the best outfit, everyone was shocked, especially Asia who kept telling her the truth. The queens tried to set her straight on Untucked; they just couldn't get through to Monet.
10. Miss Vanjie
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's elimination was a sad cut, but her goodbye left everyone in stitches. Michelle Visage and RuPaul couldn't stop laughing over the repetitiveness of the "Miss Vanjie" words as Vanessa walked off stage. We can't deny it either, it was funny!
9. Quick Drag Rodeo
Quick drag is harder than it looks; not everyone can seamlessly pull together a fun outfit. When RuPaul and guest Andy Cohen came by for the Mini Challenge and tasked the queens, we saw a new country side to the players. The outfits were horried, the music was cheesy, and the dances were cringeworthy, but it was a fun time had by all.
8. Vixen Felt The Fire
In her "best drag" runway look, The Vixen channeled heat and energy for a fire-inspired look. The high fashion dress looked gorgeous with her firey makeup and red wig. Vixen's outfit brought the heat and clinched it for her as the week's winner.
7. No Moves, No Hope
Why didn't Team Vixen plan any dance moves?! Even the simplest of routines would've shown RuPaul and Alyssa Edwards that the team was trying. This baffling moment had some of the best shocked reactions because everyone, including the queens themselves, knew that this was going to turn out rough. RuPaul and Alyssa were gobsmacked.
6. Keep Your Lip Sync Straight
RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars are the perfect places to hear the wittiest and funnest one-liners. This week's treasured charm came from Aquaria when she was describing the Maxi Challenge: "To win this challenge, you need to keep your lip sync straight, your choreography gay, and your characterization bi-curious." Utterly perfection all around.
