After week one, Irene Dubois was eliminated. Out of the 15 contestants remaining, there are a few who are already popular in the drag race community. The newcomers are determined to come out on top as well.

This week on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15, viewers were introduced to two new special guests - country singer Maren Morris and LGBTQ activist Ts Madison.

The contestants were faced with new challenges and had to impress the judges in order to continue in the competition. Although there were some impeccable performances, the one contestant that stood out and impressed the judges most was Sasha Colby.

Her neck snapping trick during the main challenge left everyone in splits. Ultimately, Mama Ru revealed that Sasha was the winner of episode 3.

Upon witnessing Sasha bag her first episodic win this season, fans took to social media to share their opinions. Many claimed that she deserved the win.
