RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 premiered on January 5, 2024, and it has been an exciting journey for viewers as fourteen dynamic contestants compete for the coveted title of “America’s Drag Superstar.”
This season saw the return of favourites such as the fashion challenge and the classic Snatch Game, where contestants impersonate celebrities, which heightened the anticipation for viewers. However, the most nerve-wracking moment for viewers and contestants alike was the lip syncing contest when the two queens found themselves at the bottom of the pile.
Since they perform at the same time, the stakes are high, and the winner gets to continue the competition while the other must stride out with a memorable farewell line. Since RuPaul has the possibility of having both queens compete, there will be many high-stakes performances this season.
The production was officially renewed in August 2023, including the companion series “RuPaul’s Drag Race: The Prequel” and the ninth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” on Paramount+.
The trailer released in November set the tone for excitement, and Season 15 winner Sasha Colby introduced the contestants in the Meet the Queen video on December 6, 2023, showing the dynamic characters entering the Werk Room set.
