It was time to "Frock The Vote" as "RuPaul's Drag Race" (Mon., 10 p.m. ET on Logo) got into the spirit of the 2012 Presidential Race with a politics-themed challenge.
However, campaigning for the Wig Party nomination Phi Phi O'Hara seriously offended Latrice Royale and DiDa Ritz.
Guest judge Dan Savage asked Phi Phi which one of her fellow drag queens she'd choose as her running mate and why.
"I think it's so great that the help" said Phi Phi, gesturing toward her black competitors, "can sit there and compete alongside me. So I'd definitely like to say, my help: DiDa Ritz!"
As Phi Phi continued on her highly questionable way, Ritz could be seen mouthing her outraged response and Royale looked thunderous. Meanwhile, Savage's jaw literally dropped.
"Did she just call me 'the help?'" asked Ritz. For her part, an angry Royale said, "I'm from Compton. I'll whoop your a**!"
At judges' table Phi Phi got some advice from Michelle Visage. "In order to land an off-color joke," she said. "It has to be funny. And that joke came across as offensive."
"RuPaul's Drag Race" continues on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on Logo.

The more "talent" shows we get each season, the less "talented" is each slate of competitors forced upon our screens, airwaves and eardrums. We are spreading our talent too thinly across too many shows and it's doing long-lasting damage to the genre.
I had scheduled an interview with Willam last week, before the bomb dropped, for a second installment of my HuffPost blog "Queer Celebrities Need Love, Too," but after watching the show I decided to throw out all those questions. Here is my chat with Willam from yesterday.
All of these accomplishments might easily lead one to think Milan would be the one to beat for the title of America's Next Drag Superstar, but after three consecutive weeks in the bottom two, this funky diva found herself shantay-ing home.
Sharon Needles is definitely our first Marilyn Manson-inspired contestant ... With a quivering, black painted lip and a witch's hat, she enters the work room and claims she's three things: beautiful, spooky and stupid.
Bebe Zahara Benet made a bit of history when she became the first winner of RuPaul's Drag Race. She brings her own brand of international flare to RuPaul's Drag U as she helps women connect with their "inner Queendom."
She may not have snatched the crown, but Raven's deliciously wicked demeanor and fabulous transformations won her a worldwide following during the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race.
