What is RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under?
RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, is a sister series to RuPaul’s Drag Race, and follows an identical format to the original show.
The competitive reality series follows a group of 10 drag queens as they find their own unique aesthetic in the “werk room” and fabulously lip-sync their way through each episode.
Contestants will be presented with a number of challenges, including acting, designing outfits & comedy.
Based on their performances, judges will decide upon “tops” & “bottoms” each episode, with the two losing “bottoms” fighting it out in a lip sync battle to avoid elimination.
The finale usually features the four top drag queens, all eyeing up the crown and the coveted cash prize.

American radio DJ Michelle Visage will return alongside Ru as a permanent judge for the spin-off shows.
Visage will join Australian comedian, Rhys Nicholson on the judging panel.
