RuPaul is ready to premiere her first reality television series. The Eloquently-titled "RuPaul's Drag Race" made it's US premiere last night on LOGO. It's Canadian premiere will be on MuchMoreMusic on Sunday, February 15, 2009.
RuPaul plays host, mentor and inspiration for this series, as RuPaul searches for "America's next drag superstar drag queen The show was greenlit in May 2008 according to a press release by MTV Networks. RuPaul describes the criteria for the contestants on this new reality series:
"Tell Tyra [Banks] that the Queen has returned, and while you’re at it have Heidi [Klum] clear the runway. I’m going to pump some ‘realness’ into reality. To be a winner on this show the contestants need to be a fashion designer, an American Idol, and a top model all rolled up into one. And they definitely have to be smarter than a fifth grader.”
According to USA Today's Lifeline, RuPaul will play dual roles in the show, "RuPaul the drag queen will be the final word in judging and eliminations, while RuPaul the man will offer guidance to contestants for each challenge."
I cannot wait for this show, you know this is gonna be must see television! Crazy drag queens fighting to be #1.
