About
The 16th season of RuPaul's Drag Race will begin airing on Jan 5, 2024. Before each episode, you can pick a team of 3 drag queens.
For the Lip Sync Lalaparuza episode featuring eliminated queens: the same scoring rubric will apply. Each queen that wins a lip sync will receive +10 points, and the queen who wins the Lalaparuza and the $50,000 prize will receive +15 points. Queens that are still in the competition and who will move on to the finale (i.e. Nymphia, Plane, and Sapphira) will receive +5 points.
