Overview
RuPaul's Drag U (as in "Drag University") is an American reality television series that debuted July 19, 2010, on Logo TV. Its final episode aired in August 2012. It was hosted by RuPaul and a team of drag queen "professors". Drag U was a spin-off of RuPaul's Drag Race. RuPaul confirmed on May 8, 2013 via Twitter that the series had been cancelled.
Format
In each episode of RuPaul's Drag U three women are given drag makeovers and taught to access their "inner divas". Each of these faux queens is judged and evaluated on her "Drag Point Average" (DPA): Drag transformation, Performance and Attitude adjustment. The contestant with the highest DPA wins. RuPaul is the "President" of Drag U. Unlike in RuPaul's Drag Race, he does not appear in drag. Regular judges in season one were "Dean of Drag" Lady Bunny and "Dean of Dance" Frank Gatson Jr. For season two, Lady Bunny returned as "Dean of Drag", and various choreographers rotated throughout the season as "Deans of Dance". Each episode features one celebrity guest judge, who is usually female.
