In practice, much of each episode covers the Werk Room preparations and rehearsals, with contestants mostly out of drag. ConfessionCam segments, commenting on the show's events, are also filmed out of drag.

** Construction maxi-challenges require contestants to create new outfits from scavenged items. The most physical element comes from the scavenging itself - for the first season's "Poor but sexy" theme, they get three minutes to search bags and boxes and grab things they can use. This also means they're racing to get the most useful items before someone else takes them. The winner of the previous mini-challenge gets a ten second head start.

* HateDumb: [[invoked]] In season one's episode "The Reunion", host Barbie Breakout has a direct message for the audience, saying that some parts of the ''Series/DragRace'' fandom are "infamous" for toxic online comments, including racism, ageism and fat-shaming. She makes it very clear that she doesn't consider bigots to be true drag fans and demands that fans should respect all contestants.
-->'''Barbie Breakout:''' The atmosphere in social media can become very toxic, racist, fat-phobic, ageist, all these things. And I just want to tell you in no uncertain terms, if you claim to be fans of drag, it means ''all'' of drag, not just your favorites. And it's not drag-friendly to pick one and hate on the others. I demand that you respect my queens, and I mean ''all'' my queens.
