This is CLIQUES, an iconic twist which sees 15 girls split into three “Cliques”. If a queen wins the episode’s challenge, their whole clique is safe from being low or in the bottom two. To raise the stakes one queen from each clique will have a returning queen from season’s 1-3.
These queens didn’t leave a large mark on the season they competed on, so this is another chance to shine like the queen that they are.
