Cast & Crew
Matt Roush says...
Clear the runway. It’s time for a new gaggle of drag divas to strut their stuff in the 16th season of the Emmy-winning competition ruled by RuPaul, whose upbeat mantra “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?” inspires this exercise in glamorous self-acceptance. With a $200,000 grand prize and the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” on the line, RuPaul is joined by guest judge Charlize Theron for the first of a two-part premiere, presented as a Maxi Challenge talent show for the new contestants to introduce themselves to the regular panel, including Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews and Ts Madison. Among the more memorably named queens: Amanda Tori Meating (sound it out), Hershii Licquor-Jeté, Mirage, Plane Jane, Plasma and Sapphira Cristál.
