* VotedOffTheIsland: Each episode the judges decide who the bottom two competitors are, but it's the episode's winning contestant who actually decides which one leaves the show. This contrasts with the usual ''Series/DragRace'' rule, where the two contestants get a final chance to impress via a lip sync battle, after which the judges decide who leaves. In season one, [[spoiler:a SuddenContestFormatChange halfway through the season means that the winner can eliminate anyone outside the top two]].

* SuddenContestFormatChange: For the first half of season one, [[spoiler:the judges decide on the episode's bottom two contestants, then the episode's winner chooses which one is eliminated]]. Whereas in the second half of the season, [[spoiler:the winner can eliminate ''anyone'' who's not in the top two]]. The contestants don't seem to be aware of the rule change until it happens.

For season two it's less of a surprise, and only takes effect for the semi-final.

* CountryMatters: For season two's Evil Queen runway, [[spoiler:Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha wears]] a ''Film/MeanGirls'' look, including a cape with "C*nt Book" written across the back. Ru even throws in a "See you next Tuesday" comment while judging it.

** In season two's semi-final [[TheRoast roast]], [[spoiler:La Grande Dame]] makes a joke about Michelle Visage's "frostbitten twat". In rehearsals, "twat" wasn't the word used - but it's covered by a SoundEffectBleep and guest judge Katherine Ryan advises her not to use a punchline that can't be broadcast in the show. From context, it's very clear what was said.



* DancePartyEnding: Each episode ends with a few seconds of the remaining contestants dancing, then leaving the stage (although it's very subdued for the episode where [[spoiler:Pangina is eliminated]], as nobody seems to feel like dancing). The season one finale ends the same way, unlike some ''Series/DragRace'' shows that let the onstage party continue to the very end.

* DanceOff: There's always an element of dancing to ''Series/DragRace'''s lip sync battles, but for season two's semi-final there's an actual dance-off mini-challenge. In hen party drag, the remaining contestants dance to one of host Creator/{{Rupaul}}'s songs, with the music speeding up each time Ru eliminates one of them.

* MediumAwareness: It's a RealityShow, so there's NoFourthWall. Even so, Choriza May lampshades the nature of the show in season two, when [[spoiler:it becomes clear that one of the two Spanish contestants will be eliminated]], commenting that the editing will add "sad Spanish music" and "cries in Spanish subtitles" to the scene. The production plays along, briefly changing the music and adding the subtitle.
-->'''Choriza May:''' Now is when they play like really sad Spanish music. ''[everyone laughs]'' Subtitles say "cries in Spanish". \\
''[music immediately swaps to mournful Spanish theme]'' \\
'''Subtitle:''' [CRIES IN SPANISH]

* BaitAndSwitch: In the first episode of season two, the contestants gather onstage for the initial EveryoneMeetsEveryone scene. When they think they're all there, the curtain raises one more time, revealing Raven, a very successful veteran of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' and ''Series/RuPaulsDragRaceAllStars'' who now works as a make-up artist on the shows. There's a shocked moment as some contestants react -- and then she reveals that she's only onstage to introduce judge {{Creator/Rupaul}}.
