We’re ready for a ball! In fact, it’s “The Last Ball on Earth” on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 Episode 4. (Grab your fake furry coats, Drag Race fans, winter isn’t over just yet.)
For this week’s Maxi Challenge, the remaining queens were put to the ultimate test of creating three looks to wear to the ball. A red-hot barely-there bikini for summers in Alaska, a warm outfit for winters in Miami, and a futuristic ensemble for being a fashionable queen on Mars were the looks on their plate.
Some of the queens slayed it with their looks while others got swept away into orbit. Both Monet X Change and Dusty Ray Bottoms failed to wow the judges with their three looks and ended up in the bottom. But, only one of these New York queens could get the chance to stay in the competition.
After a high energy lip sync that left RuPaul gagging, Monet defeated Dusty in their battle!
Rounding out the rest of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 Episode 4 was a photobomb-inspired Mini Challenge, a dance lesson between friends, and the return of the sponge.

Below, we picked out 13 favorite moments from “The Last Ball on Earth” that were so out of this world.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 airs Thursdays on VH1 at 8/7c.
Never-Ending Sponges
How many sponges does Monet X Change have?! After her head-shaking gown during RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 Episode 1, the queen has continued to bring out sponges at random moments for ongoing laughs. She did it yet again when the queens made fun of her thinking about her potential outfit. This joke could last the entire season.
Pre-Show History
We finally learned more about the queens! After weeks of challenge-focused plots and segments, RuPaul took the time to get to know the contestants and what they did before coming on the show. Asia, Monet, Blair, Vixen and more got some much-needed screentime to explain their pasts. The queens are starting to have well-rounded stories.
Vixen’s Big Fan
You gotta love a fan, and Vixen’s prop held no guise of sublety. She waved around the clear fan like she was waving to the gods! She was serving and working it on the summer-themed runway.
Under The Bus
Look, regardless of whichever way Mayhem tries to defend herself, she DID throw Monique under the busy. Monique tried to help her and kept asking (like a leader) to see if Mayhem wanted to keep her part or wanted to do more. Seeing Monique not brush this entire interaction under the rug or accept her nonesense was a great scene to watch.
The Flash
For the Mini Challenge on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 Episode 4, the queens had to photobomb famous celebrity photos. We saw a new side to Blair St. Clair when she flashed the queen herself, Beyonce. Blair is definitely showing that there’s a fun side to her we haven’t seen yet.
Donkey Kick
RuPaul’s Drag Race can sometimes be RuPaul’s Best Friend Race, and the scene between Eureka and Monet was the perfect example. These two queens bonded over silly dances moves with even sillier names. If Eureka throws out the “donkey kick” during a lip sync for her life, you better believe we’ll be gagging.
Aquaria’s Photobomb
Similar to Blair, Aquaria’s photobomb was a side to her that we didn’t see yet. She had a lot of fun poking jokes at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian; the poop on the red carpet was a nice touch! If Aquaria keeps showing off her comedy chops, she could easily make it to the finale.
Spacewoman
Miz Cracker’s intergalatic look may be simple compared to the other glamorous outfits on the runway, but it was head to tails cuter than any of the other looks. Her sexy spacewoman ensemble had the right amount of glittery touches to dominate the ball and bring out Cracker’s comedic side.
Triple Threat
Say what you will about Aquaria’s attitude, but she is a look queen! All three looks she created for the ball SLAYED. The matador swimsuit, the rainbow fur coat and the lighting supervillain shocked us due to its flawless creation and design. We were loving each and every time she walked out. (Yes, queen, work!)
Miz Cracker Wants A Sugar Daddy
Time out, hold up. Hold up, sweethearts. Let’s get it together before we make any jokes. Miz Cracker doesn’t have a sugar daddy, sweetheart. Everything that she’s had, she’s worked for, and she worked for to get and she built herself. So, you all need to know that 100%. She doesn’t have a sugar daddy, she’s never had a sugar daddy. But, she wants a sugar daddy, and yes, she needs our help to go out and get her one, because SHE IS WHAT? SICKENING. She is deserving of a sugar daddy because SHE IS THAT KIND OF GIRL. Baby, everything she’s had she’s worked for, and she’s gotten herself. She built herself from the ground up, YAASSS GAWD!
Jump Into The Music
RuPaul loved the lip sync for your life between Monet X Change and Dusty Ray Bottoms, and we definitely agree! Both queens brought it to the stage and fought hard to try to stay in the competition. However, once Monet pulled out her fakeout move by pretending not to jump, she instantly claimed the victory. RuPaul was gagging, Michelle Visage was gagging, and the rest of the judges were in stitches.
Ice Queens
It’s rare that an entire set of looks on the runway could be flawless one after the other. There’s usually a look or two that fails to wow or meet the levels of the other queens; however, that was not the case with the winter segment. Each and every queen gave the cameras the cold shoulder with their positively chilling performances. The icy outfits slayed!
A Lesson In History
Oh Monet, you really need to head back to class. This might be a case of examining the education system, but everything she said about the British/American history was hilarious to watch. How could she think Americans were the original cause of the British accent? Asia and Monique were gobsmacked. There are only a few genuinely hilarious moments that happen in the Werk Room and this history lesson will forever go down in the most head-scratching fashion for all the right (and wrong) reasons.
