RuPaul’s Drag Race enters its 16th season, poised to surpass its predecessor with a series of innovative changes. This season features an impressive lineup, including Brooklyn’s Dawn and Xunami Muse, alongside debut Taiwanese and Mexican-born queens, Nymphia Wind and Geneva Karr. The show continues to celebrate diverse representations within the LGBTQ+ community.
Innovative Twists Shake Up the Competition
In a significant shift, the show reintroduces the immunity rule, absent since season five, allowing weekly winners to avoid elimination in the subsequent episode. Moreover, a dramatic ‘Rate-A-Queen’ twist empowers contestants to influence rankings directly, marking a franchise first. The format of the finale also appears to be under reconsideration, sparking speculation about potential changes.
