List of RuPaul's Drag Race contestants
This is a list of contestants who have appeared on the American television show ''RuPaul's Drag Race''. Contestants compete against each other and are progressively eliminated, until just a winner remains, who is crowned "next drag superstar". They are judged by drag queen RuPaul and her panel of judges. The series first aired in 2009 and as of 2015, there have been seven seasons that have aired. A total of 88 different participants have been selected as finalists in the show in its seven years running, with seven drag queens - BeBe Zahara Benet, Tyra Sanchez, Raja, Sharon Needles, Jinkx Monsoon, Bianca Del Rio, and Violet Chachki being crowned "America's Next Drag Superstar". In addition, an All-Stars season aired in 2012 featuring twelve returning contestants from the first four seasons, each competing for a place in the "Drag Race Hall of Fame". The season was won by Chad Michaels, previously a runner-up in season four.
Contestants usually apply to be on the show, or attend casting calls, but the series has been known to recruit contestants via online casting. Season 1 contestant Nina Flowers, season 2 contestant Jessica Wild, season 5 contestant Penny Tration, and season 6 contestant Darienne Lake were all selected to participate by an audience vote via the show's official website. RuPaul and Santino Rice personally chose season 3 contestants Venus D-Lite and Delta Work at an open casting call in Hollywood. All contestants selected must be 21 years of age or older at the time of taping.
Some contestants have identified as transgender during or after the competition. Season 2 contestant Sonique, season 3 contestant Carmen Carrera, season 4 contestant Kenya Michaels and season 5 contestant Monica Beverly Hillz are the series' only transgender participants. Sonique, Carmen, and Kenya competed while self-identifying as males and began self-identifying as transgender females after their respective eliminations, while Monica is the only contestant in the history of the competition to participate while already self-identifying as female. Monica confirmed in an interview that the show does not require contestants to identify as male and that transgender females can participate if they still consider themselves drag artists.
Currently, the first and only contestant to pass away is season 2 contestant Sahara Davenport, who died in October 2012 at age 27. Davenport was in a long-term relationship with season 3 contestant Manila Luzon at the time.
