The Houses summon their inner extraterrestrials for a function that's truly out-of-this-world. "Rise of the Fembots" finds select members from each House in a vogue femme throwdown before competitors serve daring, high fashion bizarre in "Take Me to Your Leader." But can they bust a move fabulous enough to shake the judges' mounting boredom? Rapper Taylor Bennett helps the panel decide whose gravitational pull is strongest.
Episode 8: Atlantis
The semi-finals find the four remaining Houses joining forces to create two iconic "Megahouses" that compete across five deep-sea categories: "Tales from Atlantis," "Octo Pus Pus Party," "Merfolk Physiques," "To Sea or Not to Sea," and "Rich Fish B***h." Each of these monumental battles debuts unstoppable inter-House pairings as competitors serve face, runway, vogue, couture, head-to-toe overness, and more. As the Megahouses give everything they've got, Tamar Braxton helps the judges decide which of these sea gods have earned a spot in the finals.

Ancient civilizations may rise and fall, but which House will last forever?

Which House will gallop its way to superior status? Actor Nico Tortorella helps the judges decide.

The voguers unleash their inner freaks at the world's shadiest "Circus Bezerkus" ball, where cut-throat competition meets drama so infectious, it just might rub off on the judges.
