10 Reality TV Shows You (Probably) Aren't Watching But Should

4. RuPaul€™s Drag Race (Logo)

550x450_Ep306-Ru-GuestJudges Gypsy weddings would probably think of themselves as the campest glitter covered show on TV but in fact that crown is given to 90€™s drag superstar Ru Paul and his drag competition. RuPaul plays host, mentor and main judge to a selection of budding and sometimes already at the top of the careers drag queens. They start with a mini challenge which is anything from photo shoots to €˜reading€™ each other€™s flaws. Then there is a main challenge which starts of in groups but goes into individual as the competition goes on; example of these challenges have been acting in telenovelas, making outfits out of candy and turning straight sportsmen into drag queens. The highlight of every season is always The Snatch Game where queens have to play a female celebrity on a game show. There is a themed runway, in the light of the balls seen in film Paris Is Burning, before the judges (Ru, his radio co host Michelle Visage and Project Runway loser Santino Rice) dig their teeth in. The nice judge is always played by the guest judge (unless you are Aubrey O Day) who have included Wayne Brady, Kelly Osbourne and Eliza Dushku. It€™s the drama of America Next Top Model with the fashion of Project Runway and the personalities of Jersey Shore. There is also a spin off behind the scenes show Untucked which plays after the main show and a now cancelled Drag U in which former contestants make over women. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ8fgwD6P-Y For Fans Of: Project Runway, Fashion Star, America€™s Next Top Model
