Join me today for an exposé of the Drag Race Contestant Contract (Participant Agreement Form) all cast members of Rupaul's Drag Race must sign. I was able to obtain a copy of the Season 14 contract, so this is all super fresh drag race tea. We'll be covering topics like how much the queens on drag race get paid by World of Wonder, what they're required to do when filming, what exactly they sign away for a chance at becoming America's Next Drag Superstar, and discussing their NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement "Obligation"). The drag race contract is distributed by World of Wonder, the production company behind Rupaul's Drag Race. The show currently lives on VH1, which is owned by Viacom Media Networks (VMN).
