INFORMATION ABOUT RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE
"RuPaul's Drag Race is an American reality competition television series produced by World of Wonder for Logo TV. The show documents RuPaul in his search for "America's next drag superstar."[3] RuPaul plays the roles of host, mentor, and source of inspiration for this series, as contestants are given different challenges each week. RuPaul's Drag Race employs a panel of judges, including RuPaul, Michelle Visage and a host of other guest judges, who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. The title of the show is a play on drag queen and drag racing, and the title sequence and song "Drag Race" both have a drag-racing theme.
RuPaul's Drag Race has spanned eight seasons and inspired the spin-off shows RuPaul's Drag U and RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race. The show has become the highest-rated television programme on Logo TV,[4] and airs internationally, including in Australia, Canada and the UK. The show won Outstanding Reality Program at the 21st GLAAD Media Awards, has been nominated for 4 Critics' Choice Television Award including Best Reality Series – Competition and Best Reality Show Host for RuPaul, and was nominated for a Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Make-up for a Multi-Camera Series or Special (Non-Prosthetic)."...

"RuPaul’s Drag Race returned for its eighth season this week, with it’s 100th episode to boot. Across those 100 episode, we’ve gotten just as many Lip Sync For Your Life performances. Every episode, the two queens up for elimination must perform a head-to-head lip sync to see who gets to stick around another week. As you can imagine, things get INTENSE. In celebration of the show’s return, we picked the ten best LSFYL performances of all time. From the sickening to the sublime, these performances helped make Drag Race TV’s best reality show."
