In addition to RuPaul and Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley is a judge and Loni Love is a guest judge. Tina Burner's look includes a "reveal", and Kandy Muse wears a Comme des Garçons-inspired outfit. Gottmik is nearly nude, and Utica Queen's look is inspired by Audrey Hepburn. Denali's "black widow" dress is inspired by arachnids. Symone's dress is made with hair braids.
Elliott with 2 Ts, Olivia Lux, and Tina Burner receive positive critiques, and Olivia Lux wins the challenge. Kandy Muse, Tamisha Iman, and Utica Queen receive negative critiques, and Utica Queen is deemed safe. Kandy Muse and Tamisha Iman place in the bottom two and face off in a lip-sync to "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)" (2001) by Blu Cantrell. Tamisha Iman is eliminated from the competition.
Production
Love was also a guest judge on the season's fourth ("RuPaulmark Channel"), tenth ("Freaky Friday Queens"), and twelfth ("Nice Girls Roast") episodes, as well as the fourteenth season's fourth episode "She's a Super Tease".
Reception
Kate Kulzick of The A.V. Club gave the episode a rating of 'B-'. In 2022, Screen Rant's Amaya Lynch opined: "Season 13 ... was an all-around disappointment, and many of its episodes have fallen claim to low user ratings. The 'Disco-Mentary' was yet another one of those episodes, and for good reason. Even more than usual, one can practically see producers pulling the strings behind the scenes." Lynch also wrote, "Tamisha Iman had a rocky run on the season, but when she happened to end up in the bottom with Kandy Muse after they had an explosive argument in Untucked the week before, it was clear that production was playing into the drama. The judging for the episode is also confusing, with the queens selected as the tops and the bottoms making little sense."
