The latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 18 has determined the top three finalists: Myki Meeks, Darlene Mitchell, and Nini Coco. Juicy Love Dion was eliminated following a lip sync battle against Nini Coco. The season finale airs on April 17 on MTV.
In Friday's episode, the remaining queens competed as co-hosts in the eighth and ninth hours of the talk show Good Morning, B*tches!. Myki Meeks and Darlene Mitchell won the challenge, sharing the cash prize and securing their spots in the finale. Nini Coco and Juicy Love Dion landed in the bottom two and faced off in a lip sync to Chappell Roan's Super Graphic Ultra Model Girl. RuPaul chose to keep Nini Coco, sending Juicy Love Dion home despite her strong performance with kicks, flips, and splits. Nini captured the song's essence even in a restrictive dress, according to contestant commentary. The top three now prepare for the finale on April 17 at 8/7c on MTV. Myki Meeks enters with four challenge wins this season, including a standout Drew Barrymore impression in Snatch Game of Love Island. Nini Coco has two wins and recent lip sync victories over Jane Don't and Juicy Love Dion. Darlene Mitchell, a surprise finalist, won the roast challenge and has avoided the bottom throughout. Jane Don't's earlier elimination was described as controversial.
