For the first time in RuPaul's Drag Race herstory, a transgender man was featured as a member of the pit crew.
Trans activist, runway model, musician, and master of thirst traps Laith Ashley was of the guys in last night episode’s mini-challenge.
\u201cThank you @RuPaul @RuPaulsDragRace @WorldOfWonder \u2665\ufe0f\u2665\ufe0f\u2665\ufe0f\u201d— Laith Ashley De La Cruz (@Laith Ashley De La Cruz) 1526614483
For the mini-challenge, the six remaining queens had to play a memory game, where they recalled the undie styles of each pit crew member and matched them to one another.
NYC look queen Aquaria might've won the mini-challenge, but Ashley was the real winner of the episode!
