How does RuPaul’s Drag Race work?

RuPaul’s Drag Race is a reality show in which a group of talented drag queens compete in challenges to impress host RuPaul Charles, the world’s most famous drag queen, to win a cash prize along with a crown and the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar.

Each episode consists of a main challenge, usually some form of performance, fashion design or both. The queens then participate in a themed runway show, where one is declared the winner of that week, while two others are announced to be up for elimination.

The bottom two must then compete to stay on the show with a lip-sync for their lives.
