men of the Pit Crew are typically dressed only in their underwear,
assisting RuPaul and contestants in various challenges on the reality
show. They usually have no dialogue on the show, mainly appearing as
"eye candy" for viewers and contestants. Morales became the first

three. He would also go on to appear in RuPaul's music video for the
song "Champion." Morales remained with the show until he was axed
before Season 7 began. No reason ever was given for Morales' departure
from the show but, after a well-circulated Huffington Post article
about Gold's Gym revoking Morales' gym membership due to his body
odor; causing rumors linking the two. Morales reprised his role in
Season 10, as well as guest appearances on other RuPaul's Drag Race
and their production company, World of Wonder's companion shows.
