Racers, start your engines — it’s time for a new episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16.

Last week, the 12 remaining queens competed in the classic girl group challenge, where they had to write, record, and perform their own verses to songs from RuPaul‘s new album. The maxi-challenge didn’t have one winner, but four: Geneva Karr, Megami, Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige, and Nymphia Wind. Meanwhile, bottom queens Amanda Tori Meating and Q battled it out in a lip sync for their lives; Q came out on top while Amanda sashayed away.

Per MTV’s schedule, the queens will be designing dolls based on their drag personas in tonight’s episode. Stylist Law Roach, known for his work with Céline Dion and Zendaya, will serve as this week’s extra special guest judge.
