Kat Dennings are Mel B are guest judges.[8] Katya's look was inspired by Abraham Lincoln.[9] Max is declared the winner of the main challenge.
Mathu Andersen and RuPaul collaborated for many years, until the show's ninth season; Andersen initially did RuPaul's hair and make-up, and later directed challenges and became a creative producer of Drag Race.[10] He was a guest judge on season two's "Here Comes the Bride" (2010), and he was a special guest on the fourth season's "The Final Three" (2012), the fifth season's "The Final Three, Hunty" (2013), the sixth season's "Sissy That Walk" (2014), and the seventh season's premiere episode "Born Naked". He directed the sketches for the season's final challenge in the twelfth episode "And the Rest Is Drag".
