Who Was Eliminated from 'RuPaul's Drag Race' This Week?
After last week's get-out-the-vote themed anthem challenge, RuPaul gagged the remaining seven queens by informing them that no one would be going home. Rather than clipping one of the bottom two, Morphine Love Dion and Sapphira Cristal faced off in a lip sync for the win with Sapphira finally earning her second win of the season.
That meant that this week the final seven were all back once again for the corporate HR Power Point themed challenge. Every season RuPaul's Drag Race forces us to sit through at least one weirdly constructed flop of a challenge and this was certainly Season 16's. After being divided up into three groups, the queens were tasked with crafting and delivering some HR inspired presentations about the occupational hazards of working with a drag queen. It was basically a stand up comedy challenge, but done in groups and with Power Point slides? No one was particularly great, but some queens certainly crashed and burned more than others.

After the last slides had been clicked through, the top seven walked the runway in "Flashback: Drag Con 1980" lewks, before another queen was finally told to sashay away.
Here's everything that went down on Season 16 Episode 11:
Who was eliminated in the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16 Episode 11?
MTV
Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige
FINALLY. After four lip syncs and six trips to the bottom, the nine lives of Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige have been exhausted. The Queen of Flips seemed in trouble from the jump this season, but in one of the franchise's most improbably string of close calls, Mhi'ya managed to claw her way all the way to the top seven, knocking out several heavy hitters along the way. A stand-up comedy challenge, however, was never going to be Mhi'ya's strong suit and on her fourth trip to the bottom, fellow Miami queen Morphine finally managed to edge her out in the lip sync. While Mhi'ya may not have made the most scintillating television, her place in Drag Race herstory has certainly been cemented. You will most certainly see her as a lip sync assassin on an upcoming season of All-Stars and whoever she's up against might as well hand over the money now.
Who won Episode 11 of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16?
MTV
Sapphira Cristal
Sapphira Cristal is peaking at EXACTLY the right moment. After busting onto the scene in the premiere and nabbing the first win, she's been laying dormant for most of the season, turning in solid performances each week and never landing in the bottom. This win, however, is her second in a row and third this season, putting her ahead of Q, Nymphia Wind and Plane Jane, who each have two. Miss Cristal is now the front runner and especially if we see more performance-based challenges in the final weeks, she could snatch a fourth win without much trouble.
