Team challenges are never easy to take on on 'RuPaul's Drag Race'. It's a double-edged sword -- a good team pairing can have you in the top and even win a challenge, while a bad one can leave you in the bottom. To make matters worse, sometimes, it's your team member that can land you there. 


While the reaming queens have made it past 'Snatch Game', this episode had them put their skills to the test, as they were tasked with putting each other in their own signature drag, in order to create a drag family resemblance.

With Char Margolis' divine intervention creating the team pairings, the teams for this challenge were - Tina Burner and Rosé, Denali Foxx and Olivia Lux, Utica and Symone, and finally, Kandy Muse and Gottmik.

While most of the queens managed to nail the challenge- Symone and Utica even won it, the queens that found themselves in the bottom were Tina Burner, Rosé, Olivia Lux and Denali Foxx. With majority of the criticism aimed at the makeup and overall look, Denali and Olivia found themselves in the bottom, seeing that there was nothing elevated about their runways. While Olivia bore some of Denali's signature themes, Denali's look didn't have her stand out, if anything, she received heavy criticism for it, even though it was Olivia's handy work. The pair found themselves in the bottom, where they faced off against each other to the song 'Shackles (Praise You)' by Mary Mary. Denali ultimately ended up being the queen who was sent home.



 

Fans immediately hopped on to Twitter, seeing that they weren't having it. "That’s some serious bullshit. Denali sashays because Olivia fucked up her look? #DragRace" tweeted an exasperated fan. "production giving @denalifox the filler queen edit and then realizing her performances have the most amount of views on youtube #DragRace" tweeted a fan. ".@denalifox was ROBBED. She's so talented & deserved to be Top 4. It was NOT her fault Olivia Lux didn't paint her well... #DragRace #RPDR #RuPaulsDragRace" added another. "Denali is the Jan of this season— consistently underappreciated by the judges week after week. It’s so disappointing and fucked up, I hope she comes back for all stars. I’m so so mad about this elimination #DragRace" pointed out a fan. "not to be this person but denali was robbed from the episode one and this was just going for the whole season. she was SERVING looks and performances in every episode and they did her so dirty. i'm so angry, i hope she will slay all stars. i love you the most @denalifox #DragRace" agreed another.







 

It was heartbreaking to watch such a talented queen leave - here's hoping she continues to charm audiences back home, and who knows - maybe on the next season of 'All Stars' too... we have our fingers crossed.
