RuPaul's Drag Race

- Season 1

(2009)

Nine contestants must re-invent their glam drag looks using thrift store clothing and junk from the 99c store.

Wigs fly when the contestants split up into 2 rival girl groups.

The queens must create an Oprah inspired look for the main challenge and retrace her career (report the news via teleprompter, pitch products, and interview celebrity guests). They hit the runway in their very own best drag.

With three queens down, RuPaul pairs the racers off to do one another's makeup in the mini challenge. For the main challenge, they must campaign their own screen test entitled "I am a MAC Viva Glam Woman Because..."

RuPaul brings in a group of girl fighters to work out the contestants for the mini challenge. The winner gets to pair each queen with the fighter of his choosing to transform into a version of their drag persona.

The final four "vogue off" in the mini challenge. The winner gets to choose which Absolut vodka flavors the queens will be representing for the main challenge (creating three different looks: swimwear, executive realness, and evening gown).

This clip show includes a short history of drag, audition tapes of queens who did and didn't make it, the top ten most unforgettable fashion moments, never before scenes, a look at the catch phrases, and a recap of the season thus far.

The remaining three queens face their final challenge when they're asked to transform into video vixens for the music video to Ru's latest single, "Champion."

RuPaul hosts as all 9 contestants are reunited. They discuss the highlights, lowlights, and dramatic moments from the show, answer viewer questions, and get a chance to give the judges a piece of their minds. Miss Congeniality is announced.
