Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, and Tan France, aka the Fab Five, perform lifestyle and beauty makeovers for nominees in each episode and help them gain a positive new outlook on life.
The show's anticipated sixth season experienced significant delays in production due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but shooting in Austin, Texas was (thankfully) later resumed. The new episodes were released on Friday, December 31, and the premiere episode did not disappoint.

This episode's nominee was Terri, a 58-year-old honky-tonk dance instructor. The Fab Five were brought in to tame her wild side while reminding Terri of the power and beauty she possesses.
