"RuPaul's Drag Race" is a reality show in which a group of talented drag queens compete in challenges to impress host RuPaul, 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 or fashion design -- sometimes 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.

The queens must write and perform their own verses for RuPaul songs from his new album.

After a flamenco dance with Spanish sensation Charo, the queens must design their own dolls.

This season's Rusical is set high in the Swish Alps, as a young queen called Mariah goes in search of a musical outlet for her inner freak; director Adam Shankman guest judges.

After the Reading challenge, the queens impersonate celebrities in a classic quick-fire comedy game show; All Stars' winner Chad Michaels drops by the werkroom; actress Kyra Sedgwick guest judges.
