‘Drag Race’ Season 14 Queens Challenged to Paint RuPaul’s Face in Act 1 Sneak Peek [Exclusive]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14 may be the season that’s never-ending, but it’s also the gift that keeps on giving. With a group of girls that are this watchable and unclockable, who cares if the season’s gonna last until Thanksgiving? Everyone is living for this season every step of the way — except maybe Jorgeous.

As seen in the first act from this week’s episode, debuting exclusively here at Decider, the lip sync assassin of all lip sync assassins is feeling some type of way about there still being seven queens in the race. This is episode 13! And thanks to Bosco pulling the life-saving golden candy bar, the crown feels even further away. Bosco’s living, Jorgeous is fretting, Daya is edging — emotions are running hot!

So leave it to Mama Ru to turn the heat up with a Mini Challenge that really cracks all the faces. The challenge, issued by Ru and Anastasia Beverly Hills president Norvina, is quite the gag: the queens have to paint RuPaul’s face.

Don’t worry — no one is coming for Raven’s gig. As you may have guessed, this is a literal painting challenge with the top seven tackling a recreation of the absolutely gorgeous Gus Cutty mural of Dolly Parton and RuPaul. The real mural appears on the Beauty Parade Salon located in Asheville, North Carolina (@beautyparadesalon). If you’ve watched the first act, then you saw the recreations. They’re pretty fierce considering the context, but, uh, has DeJa Skye ever seen a nose before?

While the Mini Challenge may not have ultimately been as high stakes as initially implied, the Maxi Challenge is one that has every competitor shaking in their flip flops. It’s time for the roast — and this time the target is beloved Drag Race judge Ross Mathews. Y’all think the Snatch Game separates the winners from the losers? The stand-up challenge is the real decider, if you will. If you win the Roast/Stand-Up/One Queen show, you have a solid chance of making it to the finale. So, which queen will join the ranks of Kandy Muse, Crystal Methyd, Peppermint, Pearl, and Bianca Del Rio? You’ll have to watch the full episode when it drops on Friday!

RuPaul’s Drag Race airs on VH1 on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET.
