The RuRuvision Song Contest

The episode begins in the Werk Room after the self-elimination of Ginny Lemon. The contestants read Ginny's message and retire to a sofa. A loud klaxon sounds and a message from RuPaul is played informing the contestants that filming of the competition was being halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the contestants are sent home. The filming of the show continues 7 months later with 7 of the 8 original remaining contestants present.^[2] It was announced by RuPaul that Veronica Green tested positive for the COVID-19 and had been removed from the remainder of the competition, but was given an open invitation to return for the third series.^[3]

In the hiatus period of the show, the 12 contestants for the series documented their time during the lockdown, which was made into a stand-alone special called Queens on Lockdown.^[4]

Joe Black, Cherry Valentine and Asttina Mandella were brought back into the Werk Room in animal costumes. Each returning contestant was asked to make a short pitch as to why they should be allowed to return. Then each of the remaining 7 contestants voted by writing in lipstick on a handmirror the name of who they were voting for.^[5]

Joe Black and Lawrence Chaney were made team captains and had to select members to form a Eurovision style group to perform the song "UK Hun?" for the RuRuvision Song Contest. The groups were as follows:

Each group had to write and record their own versions of the song. MNEK was the vocal coach for each group. On the main stage, the judges watch the performances of both groups. The contestants performed a mixture of sung and rapped vocals.^[1]

RuPaul introduces guest judge MNEK and returning judge Graham Norton, and reveals the runway theme for the runway category: A Day at the Seaside. Sister Sister and A'Whora both did the same outfit of a bag of chips. This caused tension between the two backstage.^[1]

RuPaul declares United Kingdolls as the winners, and all of the members receive a RuPeter badge. They are then sent backstage while the Bananadrama members are critiqued. Sister Sister and Ellie Diamond received mixed critiques and were ultimately declared safe. Joe Black was praised for their runway look, but strongly criticised for their look in the Main Challenge: Michelle Visage stated their challenge outfit could have been bought from Primark, to which Joe Black responded it was from H&M. This led to RuPaul stating "I don’t wanna see any fucking H&M". Tia Kofi was also criticised for their outfit being "too regional" and not up to the standard of RuPaul's Drag Race.^[1] The four were then sent to the back and the judges deliberated. When all the contestants returned to the stage, RuPaul apologised for their comments.^[6]

The bottom two were Joe Black and Tia Kofi who lip-synced to "Don't Leave Me This Way" by The Communards, with Joe Black leaving the competition for a second time.^[6]

  The contestant was eliminated after their second time in the bottom two.
