Girl groups have been featured across the Drag Race franchise. Many Drag Race series have hosted challenges requiring girl groups to compete against one another. The challenge started with the second season of the American spin-off series RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. In 2022, Sam Brooks of The Spinoff said the girl group challenge has become a "classic" and a season highlight because "it tests the contestant's ability to write a verse, choreograph a dance routine, remember that choreography, and most crucially, work with others in a team". [1]

Some of the groups formed on shows continued to perform together after filming ended. Pride.com's Bernardo Sim has called the United Kingdolls, which was formed by A'Whora, Bimini Bon-Boulash, Lawrence Chaney, and Tayce on the second series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK , the best Drag Race girl group.

United States

RuPaul's Drag Race

The sixth season of the American series RuPaul's Drag Race saw the creation of the Panty Hos, members of which included Adore Delano, Bianca Del Rio, Courtney Act, Darienne Lake, and Laganja Estranja. [2]

The ninth (2017), tenth (2018), and eleventh (2019) seasons did not have main challenges requiring girl groups to face off. [3] However, all three seasons saw contestants perform as a girl group. On the ninth season, top four contestants Peppermint, Sasha Velour, Shea Couleé, and Trinity the Tuck performed to "Category Is". [4] Aquaria, Asia O'Hara, Eureka O'Hara, and Kameron Michaels performed to "American" on the tenth season, [4] and the eleventh season saw A'keria C.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars

Within the Drag Race franchise, the girl group challenge originated with the second season (2016) of the spin-off series RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. The competition required top four contestants Alaska, Detox, Katya, and Roxxxy Andrews to write, record, and perform to "Read U Wrote U". [4] In 2021, Brett White of Decider.com called the song "gay canon" and said Roxxxy Andrews's verse "might as well be the gay pledge of allegiance". He complimented the choreography (particularly Detox's chair walk), as well as the lyrics and Roxxxy Andrews's outfit. White wrote, "'Read U Wrote U' is as perfect and vital a piece of queer culture as 'I Will Survive', Golden Girls, and Courteney Cox's bangs in Scream 3. This legendary performance is ... why thousands of queens started doing drag." [4]

The third season (2018) featured a girl group with BeBe Zahara Benet as Jungle Kitty, BenDeLaCreme as Wednesday Addams-inspired Goth Kitty, [10] Kennedy Davenport as Diva Kitty, Shangela as Sparkle Kitty, and Trixie Mattel as I.Q.

[10] The season also saw BeBe Zahara Benet, Kennedy Davenport, Shangela, and Trixie Mattel perform to "Kitty Girl". [4] [11]

On the fourth season (2019), Monét X Change, Monique Heart, Naomi Smalls, and Trinity the Tuck performed to a remix of "Super Queen". [4] The fifth season (2020) saw top three contestants Jujubee, Miz Cracker, and Shea Couleé perform to "Clap Back". [4]

The seventh season (2022) had a Total Request Live-themed girl group challenge, [12] during which performers referenced "Y2K culture", according to Screen Rant .
