With the Snatch Game officially behind us, things are heating up on RuPaul's Drag Race. Once again, this week’s episode forwent the beloved mini challenge and jumped straight into RuPaul’s explanation of the week’s main challenge: a dragged-up version of 90210 (titled, of course, "9021-HO"), directed by none other than the original show’s stars: Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. While it was Alexis Michelle’s wildly energetic rendition of Liza Minnelli that secured her the win last week in Snatch Game, Ru opted to give Peppermint the role of casting director this week — a reward he bestowed upon the queen for “surviving the lip sync.”

On set, Shea Couleé hammed it up in her grandma role and landed in a top-three spot next to Valentina, who took full advantage of her coquettish charm to impersonate a good virgin gone bad. But Trinity Taylor's overzealous copycat mother impersonation secured the Floridian pageant queen her second win. On the other end of things, though, were Aja, who threw a casting-related temper tantrum, and Nina Bonina Brown. But with a few duck walks and a super-engaging big finish, Nina got to stay and Aja sashayed away.

This week, we hopped on the phone with RuPaul’s Drag Race season 8 winner Bob the Drag Queen to talk about the tradition of drag queens sharing looks with one another, why some queens may audition for the show without actually trying to win, and who she thinks will make it to the final three.

Teen Vogue: So let’s just jump into the main challenge. Ru gave Peppermint the duty of casting and she takes the completely opposite approach as Alexis Michelle by letting the queens pick who they wanted, but...

Bob the Drag Queen: Aja did not want to do the role she was originally assigned, but she did end up getting exactly what she wanted.

TV: Right. And she started her statement off by saying, “I like them all,” only to turn around and flip out when she was given someone in the category of “all.”

BTDQ: In her defense — not that it matters, but — when you’re on that show, you are not yourself because you are acting crazy. What you’re used to saying and doing, you don’t end up saying and doing because of how crazy you feel. So when you’re there, you end up acting kind of crazy.

TV: So would you give Aja the benefit of the doubt because getting the role she didn’t want just triggered that “crazy” feeling?

BTDQ: Well, you live in constant fear of getting the most common outcome on RuPaul’s Drag Race, which is going home — because the truth is that most people on Drag Race go home, even though they continue to live and have extremely successful careers. But when you’re there in the moment, going home is the worst thing that could happen. If a building burns down around you and they say, “If you leave this building, you are out of this competition,” you would try to find a way to stay. When RuPaul tells you to lip-sync for your life, it feels like you’re going to die. It’s fun to sing in bars and to your friends, but when RuPaul says it on the show, it is no joke.

TV: I want to talk about Nina Bonina Brown (again) because she continues to just be one of the most fascinating contestants of all time. At this point, it’s clear to all the judges and to the other queens that Nina has some trust issues, and I think it’s sweet that everyone is trying to make her feel as comfortable as possible. The episode started with Shea giving her a pep talk.
