John Waters took over 'RuPaul's Drag Race' last night

Call it Divine inspiration.

Monday's episode of Logo's "RuPaul's Drag Race" could have been retitled "John Waters' Drag Race."

Waters, who turned 69 on April 22, was a guest judge on the episode, which challenged the drag queens to embody Waters' characters from films such as "Female Trouble" and "Pink Flamingos" in new musical sequences with lyrics inspired by Waters' films.

For example, a song called "Poo" was used during a re-creation of the infamous feces-eating scene from "Pink Flamingos."  One competitor went full-on Edith Massey-as-Mama-Edie. Another musical sequence was titled "Cha Cha Heels."

During the episode, RuPaul said that Waters' frequent star, Divine, is one of her inspirations.

The results got mixed results from Waters.

"You added a new layer of filth," he said, praising one of the contestants.  "I didn't even understand that you were supposed to be Divine," he told one of the drag queens. "You need ugly lessons," he told another.

"The struggle is real," RuPaul said.
