Logo has released more information about season four of RuPaul’s Drag Race. You might have seen Logo’s first-ever Emmy campaign earlier this year touting RuPaul for hosting. Unfortunately, Emmy voters have signed a pledge from Grover Norquist to nominate the same six people and shows every year.The new season debuts Monday, January 30, from 9-10:30 PM, followed by the third-season premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked from 10:30-11 PM.Returning as judges for a fourth and second go-round, respectively, are Santino Rice and Michelle Visage.I can’t figure out to make a link, so here it is in html to their official page on the Logo website.http://www.logopressroom.com/press-release/“rupaul’s-drag-race”-fourth-season-premiere-sashays-onto-logo-monday-january-30th/Here are the contestants. Many don’t have the usual punny drag names. It will be interesting to see what kind of drag is celebrated this season. Bebe Zahara Benet and Tyra Sanchez, the first two winners, were full-on “real girl,” while last season’s Raja was high-fashion gender-f**k.* LaShauwn Beyond* Jiggly Caliente* Madame LaQueer* Chad Michaels* Kenya Michaels* Milan* Sharon Needles* Phi Phi O’Hara* The Princess* DiDa Ritz* Latrice Royale* Alisa Summers* WillamWillam had a memorable arc on “Nip/Tuck” as Cherry Peck (season three) and works fairly regularly as a female impersonator, including the indie film “Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives.” # # #

ReplyCopy URLThe first episode was hilarious and parts, I think Sharon Needles is possible the best named queen they’ve ever had on this show.
The zombie girl (is that Sharon too?) was excellent, very good that she won.
I hope it’s as good as last year’s season, and since we don’t have an obvious winner from the start, it’s already better.
