Welcome the Queens of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 14

Racers, start your engines! Another season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is about to begin.

While we were captivated by All Stars 6 last summer and have gotten our drag fix from both Canada’s Drag Race and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, there is nothing like an original. The runway that started it all is coming back for Season 14, and we can expect some chaotic twists and turns.

This group of dolls is amazingly talented and wonderfully diverse, but it remains to be seen which one ultimately has the required charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent to snag the crown. Will it be one of the two trans queens, or the show’s first-ever heterosexual, cisgender, male contestant?

Even RuPaul is getting in on the unorthodox gaggery.

“This season, victory never tasted so sweet,” he says in the promo preview, which introduces a new game-changing element into the time-tested competition: a mysterious chocolate bar that contains a secret surprise for one lucky gal. “Unwrap a world of imagination with 14 new queens who are all game to play. Forget the rulebook. For the first time in herstory, a one-of-a-kind candy bar could make a queen’s wish come true. Hope you saved room for dessert!”

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14 premieres on VH1 Friday, January 7 at 8:00 p.m. EST, with new 90-minute episodes to be followed by new installments of Untucked immediately after. The queens we will be gagging over this season include:
