Viewers of the international drag competition were surprised when a well‑known contestant from earlier seasons appeared to join the cast, only for the show’s host to disclose a hidden agenda in the second episode.
Raven, a veteran of season two and the All Stars edition, has since become a celebrated makeup artist for the franchise and has earned multiple Emmy awards for her work behind the scenes.
During the premiere, the other competitors questioned her presence, yet she advanced safely after completing the sewing challenge.
In the following episode, the host entered the workroom and announced an extra guest judge for the week, revealing that the supposed contestant was, in fact, serving as a covert observer.
One contestant expressed displeasure, noting that the revelation undermined earlier moments of camaraderie and questioning the authenticity of the interactions.
The host clarified that the individual had been recruited as a “mole” to quickly assess the participants, and that this assignment had now concluded.
In a confessional, the participant affirmed her original intention to compete, describing the experience as a test of her resolve and emphasizing a renewed respect for a fellow contestant.
The series is broadcast in Australia and distributed internationally through streaming platforms.
