The upcoming sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race is set to premiere on February 24, 2014. Mirroring the format of the previous season, this edition will also showcase 14 contestants vying for the coveted title of "America's Next Drag Superstar." Making history for the show, the premiere will be divided into two segments; the fourteen queens will initially compete in two separate groups and later merge as one group from the second episode onward. Santino Rice and Michelle Visage will return to the judging panel. Additionally, the season introduces two new pit crew members, Miles Moody and Simon Sherry-Wood, who will be joining existing members Jason Carter and Shawn Morales. The victor of this season will be awarded a prize package, which will include a collection from Colorevolution Cosmetics in addition to a $100,000 cash prize.
