RuPaul's Drag Race

RuPaul's Drag Race is an American reality TV competition, which documents the epic search for "America's next drag superstar." The contestants are given different challenges each week before two queens battle it out, lip-synching for their lives! RuPaul serves as the show's host and with the help of judges like the always-fierce Michelle Visage, and other special guests, helps mentor the queens to utter fabulousness. RuPaul's Drag Race has spanned over a decade, while also expanding to two different spin-off shows: RuPaul's Drag U and RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars. The show also became the highest-rated television program on Logo before switching to sister-station VH1, and has won numerous Emmy's.
