Logo TV, WOW Presents Plus, and, beginning with the ninth season, VH1. The show documents RuPaul in the search for "America's next drag superstar."[1] RuPaul plays the role of host, mentor, and head judge for this series, as contestants are given different challenges each week. RuPaul's Drag Race employs a panel of judges, including RuPaul,
Michelle Visage, an alternating third main judge of either Carson Kressley or Ross Matthews, and a host of other guest judges, who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. The title of the show is a play on drag queen and drag racing, and the title sequence and song "Drag Race" both have a drag-racing theme. To date, there have
been thirteen winners of the show: BeBe Zahara Benet, Tyra Sanchez, Raja, Sharon Needles, Jinkx Monsoon, Bianca Del Rio, Violet Chachki, Bob the Drag Queen, Sasha Velour, Aquaria, Yvie Oddly, Jaida Essence Hall and Symone. RuPaul's Drag Race has spanned thirteen seasons and inspired the spin-off shows RuPaul's Drag U, RuPaul's Drag Race
All Stars, RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked, RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race, RuPaul's Drag Race UK, and RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under. The show has become the highest-rated television program on Logo TV,[2] and airs internationally, including in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Israel. The show earned RuPaul
five consecutive Emmys (2016 to 2020) for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. The show itself was awarded as a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and the Outstanding Reality Program award at the 21st GLAAD Media Awards. It has been nominated for four
Critics' Choice Television Award including Best Reality Series – Competition and Best Reality Show Host for RuPaul, and was nominated for a Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Make-up for a Multi-Camera Series or Special (Non-Prosthetic). Later in 2018, the show became the first show to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding
Reality-Competition Program and a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program in the same year, a feat it has since repeated.[3][4][5] Format Season 11 and All Stars season 6 contestants Ra'Jah O'Hara (left) and Scarlet Envy (right) competing in a Lip Sync for Your Life Prospective Drag Race
contestants submit video auditions to the show's production company, World of Wonder.[6] RuPaul, the host and head judge, views each tape and selects the season's competitors.[7] Once the chosen pool of performers is on set, they film a series of episodes, each one typically concluding with the removal of one contestant from the competition.
Rarely, the outcome of an episode has been a double elimination,[8][9] no elimination,[10] contestant disqualification[9] or removal of a contestant on medical grounds.[9] Each episode features a so-called maxi challenge that tests competitors' skills in a variety of areas of drag performance. Some episodes also feature a mini challenge, the prize of
which is often an advantage or benefit in the upcoming maxi challenge. Following the maxi challenge, contestants present themed looks in a runway walk.[11][12] RuPaul and a panel of judges then critique each contestant's performance, deliberate amongst themselves, and announce the week's winner and bottom two competitors. The bottom two
queens compete in a so-called Lip Sync for Your Life;[13] the winner of the lip sync remains in the competition, and the loser is eliminated.[11][10] Generally, the contestant that the judges feel has displayed the most "charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent" (C.U.N.T.) is the one who advances.[10][14] The final three, or four depending on what
RuPaul chooses, contestants remaining compete in a special finale episode wherein the season's winner is crowned. In early seasons, the finale was pre-recorded in the studio with no audience. More recently, the finale has taken the form of a lip sync tournament before a live audience. The season 12 finale was filmed remotely due to the COVID-19
pandemic.[15] The whole season is typically filmed in four weeks.[16] Mini and maxi challenges Mini challenges are quick, small assignments that RuPaul announces at the beginning of an episode. One of the most popular mini challenges, which recurs from season to season, is the reading challenge. In it, contestants satirically criticize one another in
a process called "reading", which was popularized by the film Paris Is Burning.[17] Maxi challenges vary in the skill they test; some are group challenges that involve singing and acting, while others feature comedy, a talent of choice, dancing, or makeovers.[18] The winner receives a material or monetary prize.[19][20] Until the show's sixth season,
the winner sometimes also received immunity against elimination the following week.[21] Drag Race's most popular seasonal maxi challenge is Snatch Game, a spoof on Match Game wherein contestants impersonate celebrities or famous fictional personas.[22] Judging Current judges RuPaul (top left), Michelle Visage (top right), Ross Mathews
(bottom left), and Carson Kressley (bottom right) RuPaul has been the series' head judge since its premiere. For the first two seasons, Merle Ginsberg joined him on the panel; she was replaced in season 3 by longtime friend of RuPaul and co-host of The RuPaul Show Michelle Visage.[23] Santino Rice served as a judge from season 1 through season 6.
[24] From season 7 onward, Ross Mathews and Carson Kressley have occupied Rice's former seat.[25] New York City makeup artist Billy B held a regular judging spot in the third and fourth seasons when Rice was absent. Most weeks, one or two celebrity guest judges join the panel.[26] Judges on RuPaul's Drag Race Judge Season 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

its website. The series featured behind-the-scenes and deleted footage from the main show's tapes.[27] From season 2 onward, a companion show called RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked, which has the same premise, has aired instead. Untucked largely focuses on conversations and drama that occur between contestants backstage while the judges
deliberate on each episode's results.[28] In most seasons, it has aired on TV following the main show, but it was available only online for season 7 through season 9.[28][29] A number of smaller web series also accompany each episode of Drag Race. Whatcha Packin', which began at the start of the sixth season, features Michelle Visage interviewing
the most recently eliminated queen about their run on the show and showcasing runway outfits they had brought but did not have the opportunity to wear.[30] Since season 8, a five- to 15-minute aftershow called The Pit Stop has also been produced. It involves a host and guest, typically past competitors of Drag Race, discussing the recently aired
episode.[31][32][33] Each season's host (or hosts) are different; to date, these have included the YouTuber Kingsley, Raja Gemini,[31] Bob the Drag Queen,[32][34] Alaska Thunderfuck,[35] Trixie Mattel[36] and Manila Luzon.[33] Series overview Main article: List of RuPaul's Drag Race episodes RuPaul's Drag Race series overview Season Premiere

Performers of any sexual orientation and gender identity are eligible to audition, although most contestants to date have been gay, cisgender men. Transgender competitors have become more common as seasons have progressed; Sonique, a season two contestant, became the first openly trans contestant when she came out as a woman during the
reunion special.[117] Monica Beverly Hillz (season 5) became the first contestant to come out as a trans woman during the competition.[118] Peppermint (season 9) is the first contestant who was out as a trans woman prior to the airing of her season.[119] Other trans contestants came out as women after their elimination, including Carmen Carrera,
[120] Kenya Michaels,[121] Stacy Layne Matthews, Jiggly Caliente, Gia Gunn and Laganja Estranja.[122][123][124] Additionally, Gottmik (season 13) was the first and currently only openly transgender male and AFAB contestant in the franchise's history.[125] In March 2014, Drag Race sparked controversy over the use of the term "shemale" in the
season 6 mini challenge "Female or She-male?".[118] Logo has since removed the segment from all platforms and addressed the allegations of transphobia by removing the "You've got she-mail" intro from new episodes of the series. This was replaced with, "She done already done had herses!"[126] RuPaul additionally came under fire for comments
made in an interview with The Guardian, in which he stated he would "probably not" allow a transgender contestant to compete.[127] He compared transgender drag performers to doping athletes on his Twitter,[128] and has since apologized.[129][130] Sasha Velour (season 9) disagreed, tweeting "My drag was born in a community full of trans
women, trans men, and gender non-conforming folks doing drag. That's the real world of drag, like it or not. I thinks it's fabulous and I will fight my entire life to protect and uplift it".[131] For the first twelve seasons, RuPaul would say, "Gentlemen, start your engines, and may the best woman win," before the contestants' runway looks for the episode
were shown. When season 13 introduced the show's first ever transgender male contestant, Gottmik, RuPaul's catchphrase was changed in order to promote inclusivity: "Racers, start your engines, and may the best drag queen win."[132] In season 6 of All Stars, an altered version of the shows opening theme was introduced with the new tag line.
Broadcast Australia: In Australia, lifestyle channel LifeStyle YOU[133] regularly shows and re-screens seasons 1–7, including Untucked. In addition, free-to-air channel SBS2 began screening the first season on August 31, 2013. On March 13, 2017, it was announced that on demand service Stan will fast track season 9 (including Untucked). As of
2020, Stan streams all seasons since Season 1,[134][135] as well as Untucked, All Stars, All Stars Untucked, Canada's Drag Race, Secret Celebrity, Drag Race UK and Season 2 of Drag Race Thailand. Canada: The series airs on OutTV in Canada at the same time as the US airing. Unlike Logo, OutTV continues to broadcast Untucked immediately after
each Drag Race episode.[136] Beginning with season 12, OutTV has shared its first-run rights to the main series (but not Untucked) with the more widely subscribed Crave streaming service, with episodes available on Crave shortly after they premiere on OutTV, in connection with Crave and OutTV's co-production of Canada's Drag Race.[137] Past
seasons are also available on Netflix in Canada, with each season released there shortly before the next season begins.[137] Ireland: In Ireland, season 2 to season 8 of the programme were available on Netflix; As of the release of Season 10, only seasons 8 & 9 are available. Netflix has started airing season 10 episodes one day after they air in the
USA. All seasons of the show has been made available on Netflix since October 2018 Indonesia: In Indonesia, season 1 to season 13 of the programme were available on Netflix, alongside the Christmas spectacular; As of the release of All Stars, only season 4 and 5 is available. Netflix also aired Untucked season 10 episodes one day after they air in
the USA. UK: E4 aired season 1 in 2009, followed by season 2 in 2010.[138] Since its success on Netflix in the UK,[139] TruTV acquired the broadcast rights for all eight seasons of the show including Untucked episodes.[140] In June 2015, TruTV started airing two episodes of the show a week, starting with season 4, followed by All Stars, then season
5. As of May 2018, the series airs on VH1 UK Monday-Thursday at 11pm, beginning with All Stars season 3.[141] Israel: Yes has broadcast all seasons and Untucked episodes. Seasons 1–12,[142] All Stars seasons 4-5[143] and Untucked seasons 11-12[144] are also available on Netflix. See also LGBT portal Television portal List of reality television
