Episode: ¿Quiénes son las tres Finalistas?
In this special episode it is contextualized that it occurred after the recording of the seventh episode.
After Liza's elimination, the finalists return to La Sala (rest room), Rocko integrates the previously eliminated participants with Little Miss Salma and informs them that only 3 participants would reach the grand final. After letting them talk for a while, Rocko informs Salma and the 4 finalists to go to the Main Stage to tell the eliminated ones that they must decide who is the third finalist.
Until that moment, the images of the episode arrive, but on social networks it is implied that the two participants who automatically went to the final were Gvajardo and Tiresias and that Becky along with Ábora had to go to the versus. Although those eliminated had to choose only one participant, both went to the final, so the finalists remained the same as those who were in the sixth episode.
On September 3, 2018, after some problems between Jorge Bravo (part of Clap Clap, Versus' production in Mexico) and Rocko Cornejo, Gvajardo and Ábora decided to distance themselves from the competition and no longer have a relationship with the program. Despite this inconvenience, the participation of those identified was still shown in the chapters.
Back to the video, after showing a count of all the eliminated contestants who could return to competition, it is shown that Liza Zan Zuzzi will take the place of the eliminated ones and will travel to Chile with Tiresias and Becky to record the final episodes of Versus Drag Queens : Mexico.
