Jaida Essence Hall slayed this week's maxi challenge on 'RuPaul's Drag Race', gaining her the third win this season and fans affirm the drag queen deserved it. 

'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 12 returned on Friday night for an all-new episode. This week, the queens were paired with superfans and had to give them a head to toe makeover under the runway category, Drag Family Resemblance. 

Since Jaida won last week's challenge, she got the chance to pick which superfan each drag queen gets. The superfans were a delight to watch and very endearing. Jaida and superfan Bethany were an absolute treat to watch, especially seeing Jaida teaching her to walk in heels. "If you wanna look good, sometimes you’ve got to sacrifice. If you gotta get rid of a pinky toe, baby you gonna get rid of that pinky toe," Jaida said and we all stan. 



 

Jaida and her daughter looked like perfection together while donning red pageant gowns. She proved to be a master in drag, with those showstopping outfits. Without a doubt, Mama Ru revealed that Jaida won this week's challenge as well. This takes her win this season to a total of three, and we couldn't be more excited for the queen. Jaida has also never been in the bottom so far, and we hope it stays that way and that we get to see the drag queen in the finals. 

Taking to Twitter, fans couldn't be happier for Jaida as she won her third challenge. "Love u so much! U serve excellence once again and u DESERVE it, so happy for u Jaida," a fan wrote.

"Jaida has three wins and has never been low.... I smell a winner #DragRace," a fan said. While another shared, "My b***h jaida won another challenge?? The way we won ugh there is no excuse for y’all not to be stanning jaida #DragRace." 

"Honestly I feel like Jaida is getting the winner edit for #DragRace? I hope so.... I was team Gigi but...... Jaida is that girl," a fan said. Adding to that another wrote, "NOW IF YALL DONT SUPPORT MISS JAIDA F***ING ESSENCE HALL... THE ONLY SWEETHEART #dragrace." 

"The way jaida is out here completely sweeping the competition. Queen. I luv her she has such a good soul," a fan added.
