Season 9

Eureka expressed in the first episode that all she wanted from the pageant challenge was to beat rival and fellow competitor Trinity Taylor. Eureka's hometown look was inspired by a redneck woman, and her Lady Gaga look was the striped latex dress from the Telephone video. She was named as one of the top three of the challenge but did not win.

On episode three, Draggily Ever After, the maxi challenge was to create a princess and sidekick for it. Eureka decided to do a sewer princess. Her sidekick was a dog. Her princess name was You-Reek-Of-Daria, which sounds like her name. RuPaul decided that Eureka wasn't too bad nor too good, making Eureka safe.

On episode five, Reality Stars The Musical, Eureka was chosen to be North West. Due to her knee injury from the cheerleading challenge, she couldn't move very well during the performance and had to use crutches for her runway. Eureka was originally safe during critiques but was asked to step forward after the lipsync. RuPaul eliminated her from the competition to heal but promised her a spot on Season 10. Cynthia Lee Fontaine and Farrah Moan (the bottom two) both remained in the competition.

Season 10

Eureka O’Hara accepted the open invitation to join season 10 and appeared on T.V. on Thursday, March 22 when the series premiered.

On Episode 2 Eureka landed in the bottom two with Kalorie during the Pharmarusical challenge. Eureka did not know the words during the challenge and told Alyssa Edwards (whilst she was choreographing) that the performance aspect of the challenge was bringing back memories of her knee. Luckily, she pulled through in the lipsync and stayed for another week.

On Episode 3 Eureka placed high after the acting challenge where the queens performed adverts for dating apps. Eureka played an over-the-top character, and her performance was praised highly by the judges for her use of Eurekaisms and for the return of the old Eureka.

On Episode 5 Eureka was paired with Aquaria by The Vixen for the "Bossy Rossy Show" where the queens' improv skills are put to the test. Their segment was "Look At Me! I'm A Sexy Baby!". Eureka won the challenge.

On Episode 6, Eureka won her second consecutive challenge after her performance in the drag con challenge and her runway were successes. This makes Eureka the first Season 10 queen and returning queen to win back to back challenges.

On Episode 9 after poor performance in the Breastworld acting challenge Eureka landed in the bottom with Kameron Michaels. At first Eureka thought she was eliminated after Kameron got the shantay but RuPaul announced that she also is still in the competition in a double shantay. This makes Eureka and Kameron the second pair to have a double shantay and make it to the finale after Sharon Needles and Phi Phi O'Hara in Season 4

Farewell Message

Season 9
