For the first time in "Drag Race," the drag queens performed on the main stage a spoken word lip sync.

In the ninth episode of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7" Monét X Change and Jinkx Monsoon were asked to battle it out on a lip sync of '80s sitcom “Designing Women” by Dixie Carter.

Monét X Change won the battle and chose to block season 3 winner Raja as they compete to have the most stars before the finale.

While it has been a tradition to do lip syncs to songs to show off dance skills, spoken word lip syncs has become a staple in bars to showcase the comedic timing and acting of drag artists.
