The tenth season returned in 2018, premiering just a week after the end of the third All Stars season of the show (featuring past contestants.) The season saw 13 new competitors, and the return of Eureka O’Hara, a contestant ruled out of her original season early after suffering an injury.
Contestants include drag queens Aquaria, Asia O’Hara, Eureka, Kameron Michaels, Miz Cracker, Monet X Change, The Vixen, Monique Heart, Blair St Clair, Mayhem Miller, Dusty Ray Bottoms, Yuhua Hamasaki, Kalorie Karbdashian Williams and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, who compete against one another in a series of mini and maxi challenges to be crowned the winner.

Over the course of the season so far, contestants have been challenged to take part in runway walks, create outfits from unusual materials, dance, create skits, partake in photo challenges and appear on a fake chat-show. The eclectic nature of the show often pokes fun at celebrity culture (amongst other things) and has included challenges to re-create infamous celebrity photos.
For season ten, the show has seen some changes; not only has it switched to a new format of 90 minute episodes, but the set has undergone some changes too. The walls of the infamous werk room (where queens get ready to do battle) have gone from hot pink to cherry red, and an all-new set of portraits of RuPaul herself have been put up on the walls.
The show, originally a hit in the gay community, before breaking into the mainstream, draws heavily on gay culture at every turn, and Season 10 saw perhaps the most fabulous episode to date. A Cher themed episode included a challenge in which queens had to actually sing (rather than lip-sync).
Season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race has been a rollercoaster ride so far – and it’s only going to get better. With the mainstream love for the Race that has emerged since it appeared on Netflix last year, there’s never been a better time to hire a Queen to entertain your guests.
