The Celebrity Guest Judges Are Just Some of the Draw of the Long Running Series

From Elvira to Nicole Byer, celebrity guest judges have been deep-rooted in RuPaul’s Drag Race, Season 15 will be no exception. Even though the guest judges are fun to see, it’s far from what people love about this MTV reality competition series. Each queen shares their personal story and style throughout RuPaul’s Drag Race, as they will for Season 15. RuPaul wears different hats throughout the show as well, such as a mentor, a host, and the head judge. Each of the contestants takes on different unique challenges in each episode of each season that show if they have what it takes to be “America’s Next Drag Superstar”. Season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race will have more fun challenges that will bring out the best and the worse of the queens. The show has inspired many spin-offs and international versions.

Watch Season 15 of the reality competition series RuPaul’s Drag Race and the many celebrity guest judges this season when it premieres on MTV on Friday, January 6 at 8 p.m. ET.
