"Golden Gals" The Remake

If I was hired to make a remake episode for RuPauls drag race, I would remake the season 2, episode 8, Golden Gals episode. In the original episode the main girls, Pandora Box, Tyra Sanchez, Jujubee, Tatiana and Raven, have to turn old men into beautiful drag mothers. In this episode of RuPauls drag race the drag mothers and the drag queen daughters have to get all dolled up, look-a-like, and perform one of RuPauls famous songs, “Main Event”. Each drag and her drag mother have their own style and own flare but the trick is to conjoin both styles and flares to create the ultimate drag daughter and drag mother combo. Pandora Box and her drag mother, Litterboxx had a show girl chic look, Raven and her drag mother, Golda Lame had a night club ware look to them, Jujubee and her drag mother, Contessa Touche had a disco glam ball look to them, Tatianna and her drag mother, Annalisha had a Jungle safari look, and last but not least Tyra Sanchez and her drag mother, Big Tyra had a 80’s day ware look. The ladies had to go through meeting the drag mothers, transforming them and themselves, a runway walk and finally dancing and lip singing duet. In the end Raven, the winner of the challenge, Tyra Sanchez, and Tatiana were the finalist who were safe and Pandora box and Jujubee were in the bottom two. Before Pandora Box or Jujubee could be eliminated they would have to “lip sync for their life”. In every competition RuPaul makes the bottom two contestants “lip sync for their life”, which means they must lip sync one of RuPauls songs better than the other girl. After the judges consulted with each other they made the choice to unfortunately eliminate Pandora Box.

For my remake of the episode I would have the girls first, play a game to see who the winner is and they could pick first from everything and pick the order that the ladies pick their makeup, wardrobe, and theme, then the ladies would proceed to pick a time in day for their theme, for example the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, or 90’s, then I would have them pick one of RuPauls most famous songs to lip sync to, then I would have selection of makeup, wigs and outfit choices from them to pick from. The ladies would have to go through rehearsal, showing their drag mother how to walk like a beautiful drag model, showing their drag mother how to lip sync, and ultimately fighting for the gold in the end. For a little twist I would, go into the “Glam Room” or dressing room and throw them a little twist by having them pick out a ball with a time in day, if they picked their own era then they would luck out but, if they picked out a different era they would have start from scratch again and pick out a different makeup selection, wardrobe choice and different RuPaul song to lip sync to. In the end I would have a panel of judges, RuPaul of course, a series of designers that the wardrobes came from, makeup artist that provided the makeup, a few fellow drag daughters and drag mothers and as a special guest judge I would have Kathy Griffin to bring some spice and humor to the judges panel. I would have the ladies do a runway walk, introduce themselves to the judges, have them lip sync their song, give a brief explanation on why they chose the era they chose and how they pulled it off. And ultimately, like in all episodes, the choice would be up to RuPaul to choose the winner and the bottom two. After RuPaul would make her choice on the bottom two, the bottom two drag daughters would have to “lip sync for their life.”
