For the main challenge, the contestants perform a roast of Michelle Visage in front of the judges and a live audience. The judges are RuPaul, Visage, Ross Mathews, and the guest judges are Tamar Braxton and Fortune Feimster.

On the runway, Peppermint, Sasha Velour, and Shea Couleé receive positive critiques, and Peppermint wins the challenge. Alexis Michelle, Farrah Moan, and Trinity Taylor receive negative critiques, and Trinity Taylor is deemed safe. Alexis Michelle and Farrah Moan place in the bottom and face off in a lip-sync to "Baby I'm Burnin'" (1978) by Dolly Parton.
