About this episode

This week the queens must go ham or go home as RuPaul stages the very first Piggy Pageant. Testing their stamina to the max the queens are challenged to serve three piggy themed looks on the runway - all against the clock! The pressure is on, but thankfully Drag Race favorite Just May - affectionately known as Season Four’s Pork Chop queen - is on hand to help. Pop legend Rick Astley and international fashion Icon Michèle Lamy join RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Graham Norton on the judging panel. Who will bring home the bacon this week?
