Each of these videos is a reenactment of an excerpt from a notable “Lip Sync for Your Life” performance from RuPaul’s Drag Race. (Textual clues to this: “. . .for your life” and “[mess] it up” in the flavortext, and a mention of Chuckie’s “charisma” and “talent.”) “Winner” represents the name of the winning drag queen, “loser” the name of the losing drag queen, and “singer” the artist who performed the song they danced to. Solvers must identify these and index according to the “scores.”
