What is "RuPaul's Drag Race"?

The globally acclaimed and Emmy Award-winning series "RuPaul’s Drag Race" is a television program where a group of skilled drag performers take part in various challenges to impress the host, RuPaul, who is the most renowned drag queen worldwide, in hopes of winning a cash reward, a crown, and the title of America's Next Drag Superstar, as reported by Paramount.

Each episode features a primary challenge, typically involving a performance or fashion creation. Following this, the participants take part in a themed runway presentation, during which one individual is named the winner for the week, and two others are put at risk of elimination. The two lowest performers then face off in a lip-sync battle to determine who remains on the show.

"RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked," the Emmy-winning behind-the-scenes program, will also broadcast a new episode right after the 90-minute episode of“RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

In the latest episode, "RuPaul presents the queens with an unexpected challenge by introducing a new twist to the traditional celebrity impersonation game show. Actress and model Brooke Shields serves as a guest judge."
