RuPauls Drags Race Season 3

The race is back on!


Season 3 of Logo's hit show Rupauls Drag Race premiered Monday night with a bang.Although the official ratings weren't posted yet but sources say that the premiere is up 33% higher than Season 2's premiere.This is huge in the LGBT community, to have such a mainstream show that is doing good rating wise could and mostly likely will open so many more doors.

This season Thirteen drag queens compete for the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar", a spot on the Absolut Tour, a lifetime supply of makeup from Kryolan and $75,000 cash prize. Changes also made in the new season included Michelle Visage replacing Merle Ginsberg at the judge's table. A wildcard contestant was introduced as Shangela Wadley from season two returned to compete again, the first contestant to make a return visit. A new pitcrew was also introduced. Additionally, in a coincidental and unintended reality show cross-over, former America's Next Top Model photo shoot make-up artist Sutan Amrull (who had appeared on-camera as Tyra Banks's drag double in Cycle 6) auditioned and was selected to compete in his drag alter ego, Raja.
