This week, the contestants were tossed into the fire to present not one, not two, but three runway looks for RuPaul's Bag Ball Eleganza. Look One: Mixed Bag, a "punny look of your choice"; Look Two: Money Bags, a "boss-bitch look that says, 'I own everything' "; and From Scratch, a "high-fashion show-stopping look made entirely out of bags."

Instead, Ru leaned into the often-heard, inner-saboteur speech, which has become a common theme as he grooms the queens for success. But back to the runway.
