According to the show’s official synopsis, “‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ is a reality show in which a group of talented drag queens compete in challenges to impress host RuPaul, the world’s most famous drag queen, to win a cash prize along with a crown and the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar. “Each episode consists of a main challenge, usually some form of performance or fashion design — sometimes both. The queens then participate in a themed runway show, where one is declared the winner of that week, while two others are announced to be up for elimination. The bottom two must then compete to stay on the show with a lip-sync for their lives.” ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race' Season 17 cast Warning: Elimination spoilers below Acacia Forgot (eliminated episode 8)ArriettyCrystal Envy (eliminated episode 7)Hormona Lisa (eliminated episode 6)Jewels SparklesJoella (eliminated episode 4)Kori KingLana Ja’RaeLexi LoveLucky Starzzz (eliminated episode 3)Lydia B KollinsOnya NurveSam StarSuzie Toot What are the differences between the streaming services?
