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. Ru 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 and Farrah (the bottom two) both remained in the competition.

Season 10

Eureka O’Hara accepted the open invitation to join season 10 and will be back on T.V. on Thursday, March 22nd when the series premieres.
