What is RuPaul’s Drag Race UK?
In the concept, RuPaul and Michelle Visage are looking for the next big thing in UK drag queens. Queens have to do a number of challenges every week before the judges pick a winner. The two contestants in last place then have to “lip sync for their lives” to stay in the competition and avoid being sent home. Winners in each episode get a “RuPeter Badge,” and the person who is eliminated has to leave the race.
