RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 is about to throw another massive challenge at the queens — and they better be ready for it! After last week’s inspired doll challenge, wherein the queens were tasked with creating a look from scratch and a Bratz-sized companion to match, the remaining ten queens will have to sing and strut to the best of their ability in a brand new Rusical. Someone will win, a queen will be sent home, and we’ll be one step closer to the grand finale.
