'''RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3''' is the third season of ''[[RuPaul's Drag Race]]'', which began airing on January 24, 2011.<ref name="castbios">{{cite web|author=LOGO On-line|url=http://www.logotv.com/video/misc/596106/alexis-mateo-rupauls-drag-race-season-3-contestant.jhtml?id=1651951|title=RuPaul's Drag Race 3: Cast Bios|publisher=LOGO On-line|date= |accessdate=2009-12-06}}</ref> Thirteen drag queens compete for the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar", a spot on the Absolut Tour, a lifetime supply of makeup from Kryolan and $75,000 cash prize. Changes also made in the new season included [[Michelle Visage]] replacing Merle Ginsberg at the judge's table. Santino Rice returns as the second head judge, with Billy B filling in for several episodes in his absence. A wildcard contestant was introduced as Shangela Wadley from [[RuPaul's Drag Race (season 2)|season two]] returned to compete again, the first contestant to make a return visit. This is also the first season of Rupaul's Drag Race where all of the contestants had to "Lip-Sync For Your Life" before the finale (Season 1 Runner-Up Nina Flowers and Season 2 Winner Tyra Sanchez avoided risk of elimination before the finale).

==Episodes==
====Episode One: Casting Extravaganza====
Behind the scenes of the casting process for the 2011 edition of "RuPaul's Drag Race." Featured are entrants that were not cast in the series. All the contestants are profiled. Raja reveals she has done make up for some pretty big names in Hollywood and her audition tape includes an endorsement from [[Adam Lambert]]. India Ferrah shows us through video and old photos his early drag career which started at 14. Mimi and Stacy were premiered as the Big Girls of the Season. Phoenix talks about her start in drag. Venus D-lite and Delta Work are profiled and it is revealed that they were chosen as a result of auditioning in front of RuPaul and Santino Rice at an open casting call in [[Hollywood, California]].

====Episode Two: The Queen Who Mopped Xmas====
Season 3 begins with the introductions of 12 new queens vying to be "the next drag superstar." After the surprise revelation that the first eliminated second-season competitor Shangela has returned to be the thirteenth competitor in season three, the dolls receive their first challenge: a Christmas-card photo shoot on a trampoline (with [[Mike Ruiz]] taking the pictures). Then it's off to a thrift store to stock up for their holiday-themed runway outfits. Ruiz, [[Vanessa L. Williams|Vanessa Williams]] and [[Bruce Vilanch]] are the guest judges, joining regular judges [[Santino Rice]] and [[Michelle Visage]] (making her debut). India, Alexis, Phoenix, Mariah, Yara, Delta, and Stacy are declared safe. Mimi is criticized for her outfit's execution, but praised for the concept, and is declared safe. Manila and Carmen are also safe, and Raja is declared the winner of the week. Venus and Shangela land in the bottom for their forgetful outfits and poor execution (this marks the second time Shangela has landed in the bottom two on week one). During the lipsync, Venus becomes violent; throwing her wig at the girls in the back, and pushing Shangela numerous times. Shangela also removes her hairpiece, and during the battle they are close to being half naked. RuPaul scolds the girls for the awkward performance, before announcing that Shangela is safe and sending Venus D-lite home.

The premiere episode drew 449,000 total viewers, 33% higher than Season 2's premiere.

====Episode Three: Queens in Space====
After the contestants learn that the theme for the week is [[sci-fi]], RuPaul arrives in the workroom to issue the mini-challenge. The girls are asked to pair up with the person they feel they have the strongest psychic connection to (Raja & Delta, Mariah & Phoenix, Carmen & Manila, Alexis & Stacy, Shangela & India and Mimi & Yara), then separated by a screen. One team member must "use ESP" to guess the other person's fashion accessories. What color boa, what kind of jewelry, what color cat, etc. The winning pair are Mariah and Phoenix, with their reward, being competing team captains for the main challenge.

For the main challenge this week, the girls split into two teams to each a shoot a trailer for the ''Drag Queens in Outer Space'' movie saga, the original film, ''From Earth to Uranus'' (Team Phoenix) and the sequel ''Return to Uranus'' (Team Mariah). Each team had to shoot a different scene, but with the same characters. The characters assigned were as follows:

Guest judges include [[Lily Tomlin]] and ''[[Caprica (TV series)|Caprica]]'' alumna [[Alessandra Torresani]]. Mariah's team won, with Alexis and Shangela sharing the title of the challenge winner. As a result of two winners that week, no immunity was given. Phoenix and Delta landed in the bottom two, Phoenix for her weak performance in the trailer, and Delta for her runway outfit, which the judges felt held little to no resemblance of anything futuristic space-like. During the lipsync to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" Delta's personality radiated through while Phoenix fell back on trying to impersonate Gaga. Delta was declared safe and Phoenix sashayed away.

====Episode Four: Totally Leotarded====
For their mini-challenge, the queens were asked to create a fashion style using [[duct tape]]. In groups of two (and one group of three) the contestants will have to glamorize their black leotards using duct tape of all various colors. The teams assembled are Carmen & Manila, Yara & Raja, Alexis & Mariah, Shangela & India and Mimi, Delta & Stacy. Carmen and Manila form the best look, complete with duct tape iPods, and win the challenge, the reward, being competing team captains for the main challenge.

The girls are informed that the main challenge will be two inspirational work-out videos. Carmen and Manila are team captains (due to winning the duct tape leotard challenge.) Carmen chooses Delta, India, Yara, and Mariah; while Manila chooses Raja, Stacy, Mimi, Shangela, and Alexis. Guest judges include fitness guru [[Susan Powter]], celebrity make-up artist Billy B (filling in for an absent Santino Rice), and singer [[LaToya Jackson]]. after the runway presentation; Delta, Raja, Manila, Carmen, and Shangela are declared safe. Alexis wins the challenge, and is given immunity for this win. Stacy, Yara, and Mariah are also declared safe. India and Mimi land at the bottom; India for her boring work-out segment and over-done look on the runway, and Mimi for putting in too much slapstick comedy in hers, causing it to come off sloppy. During the lipsync, Mimi picks up India from in front of the judges table, and carries her up to the stage against her will. Rupaul scolds Mimi, stating "Drag is not a contact sport!" before eliminating her and declaring India as safe.

====Episode Five: QNN News====
For the mini-challenges, the girls were given the task and creating a scandalous red carpet photo. Being a news-related episode, the winning photos were shown on WOW Report (Carmen's revealing crotch shot) and NewNowNext (Stacy's wardrobe malfunction). The winners became the team leaders as news anchors for "The Morning After News" on fictionalized QNN. To mentor the girls, anchor [[Debbie Matenopoulos]] provided tips on personality and delivery. [[Kristin Cavallari]] was on hand to be interviewed by the girls as well. Guest judges include [[Chloe Sevigny]] and [[Debbie Matenopoulos]]. Celebrity make-up artist Billy B filled in for regular judge Santino Rice, who was notably absent for a second consecutive week.

Note: Although they worked as team, each member was judged individually.

Carmen, Alexis, Yara, Raja, and Delta were declared safe. Although the judges loved Manila's gown, they were afraid her stereotypical Asian reporter came across as offensive. Matenopoulos congratulated Shangela, stating she could easily get a job as an entertainment reporter. India's performance was deemed bland and painful to watch. Stacy, once again, was scolded for holding back. RuPaul commented that Mariah was not fully delivering on challenges and was "resting in pretty." Manila won the challenge, leaving India and Stacy to lip synch for their lives. Stacy's lip synch was seen as on point and she remained in the competition, while India sashayed away.

====Episode Six: The Snatch Game====
For this week's mini challenge, the girls were asked to play "S**t RuPaul Says" to win the opportunity to call a family member. Delta won the challenge but gave the prize to Shangela who wanted to speak to her grandmother. The group was then asked to impersonate celebrities on "Snatch Game". Initially, Stacy Layne Matthews intended to impersonate [[Anna Nicole Smith]] but after receiving criticism from RuPaul, she chose to do [[Mo'Nique]] instead. The panel was judged by model [[Amber Rose]] and comedienne [[Aisha Tyler]].

For the runway portion, the girls were asked to wear their favorite drag looks. Raja, Alexis and Stacy made the Top 3 while Delta, Mariah and Yara finished in the bottom. This caused much controversy backstage because most of the queens disagreed with the judges' decisions. Backstage, tension heated up between Shangela and Raja. Shangela criticized Raja's impression of Tyra Banks, and Shangela complained that she and Raja used to be friends until the competition. Raja complained that in the past, Shangela had returned borrowed items damaged and had used her, and many of the others agreed that Shangela continues to get other queens to help her in the competition because her own skills are poor. Mariah became defensive during the critique, stating Carrera's version of Lopez was a bitchy version of herself and Luzon's Imelda Marcos was an "offensive Filipino." Stacy won the challenge, impressing the judges and restoring their faith in her and position in the competition. Delta and Mariah "lip-synched for their lives" to remain in the competition. Mariah missed many of the lyrics causing her to sashay away, leaving Delta to remain in the competition.

Off the set, the elimination created controversy in the media. For her farewell message, Mariah was shown writing "Condragulations Raja", causing gossip sites to believe Raja was the winner of the competition. During the related ''Untucked'' episode, it was shown the message further stated, "Mug4Dayz". The message was related to her comments towards Raja, referring to her as "washed-up runway model" and implying more personal criticism. In the following episode, the latter part of the message was displayed on the mirror.

====Episode Seven: Face, Face, Face of Cakes====
At the beginning of the episodes, the contestants are asked to do a tasteful nude photo shoot with photographer [[Deborah Anderson]]. Carmen won the challenge and was given the task to assign each contestant a cake. The main challenge called for a couture fashion ensemble modeled after the assigned cake. Furthermore, each cake had to be decorated to reflect the contestant's personality.

During the critiques Raja, Manila and Delta received high marks from the judges, who also liked Yara's look, cake and make-up, while Stacy, Shangela and Alexis were admonished. Stacy for not looking couture, Shangela for her poor make-up skills, and Alexis for her awful design. Ru asked most of the queens who they thought should go home, Shangela replied Carmen, while Carmen and Delta both thought Stacy should leave. Stacy thought Carmen's look was not couture and she should be the one to go, while Raja wanted both Shangela and Stacy to go. After the judges deliberation, Yara and Delta are safe, while Stacy is up for elimination. Manila is safe, and Raja is declared the winner this week. Shangela is also safe despite her weak look, along with Carmen, landing Alexis in the bottom 2 with Stacy.

====Episode Eight: Ru Ha Ha====
In this week's mini-challenge, the cast were asked to "read" each other (popularized by the film ''[[Paris is Burning]]''). Shangela wins the challenge, her prize being to choose the order of the contestants for the main challenge. RuPaul announces for the main challenge, the queens have to develop a stand-up comedy routine to perform for a live audience. In order to help them put an act together, they each get a one-on-one workshop with legendary comedienne [[Rita Rudner]].Shangela later gives the girls the line-up for the show – starting with Raja, followed by Carmen, Alexis, Shangela, Manila, Yara and Delta. During the session with Rita, most of the contestants receive valuable advice from Rita on how to improve their stand-up routine, with the exception of Carmen who had a hard time finding a basis for her routine, and didn't receive any tips.

On the main stage, the contestants debut their comedy routines for the judges and the audience: Raja's set was based upon and inspired by the film ''[[Carrie (1976 film)|Carrie]]''. Carmen wore a [[soft sculpture]] fat suit and talked about secretly wanting to be a big girl, while Alexis came out as an energetic stripper version of herself, donning extremely large fake breasts. Shangela followed with her "post modern pimp-ho" character, and Manila's act focused mainly on a running gag of ''[[Sesame Street]]'' and ''[[Mister Rogers' Neighborhood]]'' allusions to [[homosexuality]]. Yara's character was a sassy midget from Spain, while Delta's routine portraying a self-deprecation fat girl.

The judges unanimously loved Raja, Yara, Shangela and Carmen's routines. Alexis was called out for rushing through the routine and relying too much on her visual gag, Manila's look was lauded, but her act was called unoriginal, while Delta was criticized for being too nervous. After deliberating, Raja and Alexis are declared safe, while Manila is up for elimination. Shangela is deemed the best, and wins the challenge. Yara and Carmen are also safe, which places Delta in the bottom two against Manila. Both queens were asked to lip sync to [[Donna Summer]]'s disco hit "[[MacArthur Park]]", with Manila becoming the victor of the battle, leaving Delta to leave the competition.

Tanner Stransky of [[Entertainment Weekly]] called the lip-synch battle the "most cohesive lipsynch-for-your-life sessions [ever] in Drag Race history"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/03/08/rupauls-drag-race-season-3-episode-7/ |title='RuPaul's Drag Race': All hail Shangela Laquifa Wadley, queen of comedy! |author=Stransky, Tanner |date=08 March 2011 |work=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |publisher=[[Time Inc.]] |accessdate=27 March 2011}}</ref>

==== Episode Nine: Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Style ====

In the mini-challenge the contestants are asked to [[Bedazzler|bedazzle]] black bras into something spectacular, and Manila wins. The contestants are then told they will be making 30-second promos themed around their love of America that will be shown to U.S. military members serving overseas. Each contestant will get ten minutes to film, with Manila getting an extra five minutes for winning the mini-challenge.

RuPaul tells the contestants to make it personal, but entertaining. Each contestant comes up with their own strategy - Carmen wants to speak seriously but entertain with her visual performance; Raja is unsure but wants to be humorous; Manila chooses to focus on the diversity of food in the U.S.; and Shangela plans to be as funny as possible. Yara's father is a part of the [[Army Reserves]], but she does not want to focus on that in her performance, and Alexis is initially reluctant to discuss her former boyfriend because they broke up when he was sent overseas, but RuPaul encourages her to use that experience, which she does to great effect in her video. During their preparations, Yara was also chagrined that after helping Shangela in previous challenges, Shangela was unwilling to help Yara when she asked during this challenge.

In their runway presentation, the contestants are told to dress in their most patriotic drag. Alexis wins the competition for her enthusiastic performance, and the judges note that her dress is fashioned from the [[U.S. Marine Corps]] dress uniform jacket her boyfriend left behind for her. Manila's money-themed dress was a hit on the runway, but her video failed to meet the judges' expectations; however, she is deemed safe. The judges felt Raja's video performance was lackluster, but kept her safe as well. The judges praised Shangela's video performance as energetic and entertaining, but noted her runway dress was poorly tailored and did not reflect a very patriotic feel; she was also deemed safe.

The judges criticized Carmen for her wooden, dull video performance, and although they loved her look on the runway, her facial expression and body language made them feel like she was bored, so she was up for elimination. Yara's performance was high energy, but the judges questioned whether her "crazy Latina" persona would carry her through to the title, and she was also put up for elimination. Both contestants had to lip sync for their lives, but, after telling Carmen to stay, RuPaul also told Yara she could stay as well, becoming the first non-elimination challenge in the series.

==== Episode Ten: RuPaul-a-Palooza ====
This week's mini-challenge is a game of "Ru-sical chairs". It is exactly like [[musical chairs]] except when the music stops, the chair-less queen must sing the next line in the song (All the songs being from RuPaul's album ''[[Champion (RuPaul album)|Champion]]''). If she gets it, she gets to eliminate one of her competitors, if she doesn’t, she’s out. When it comes down to 2 queens (Manila and Raja) and one chair, Manila is the last queen standing.

Ru announces that the main challenge this week has the queens performing a song for “RuPaul-a-Palooza”, and brings out [[Absolut Vodka]] correspondent Jeffrey Moran. Each queen is going to record their own version of Ru’s new song, "Superstar" in one of 6 distinct musical styles, and since Manila won the mini-challenge, she gets to pick first and determine the order of the rest of the selections. The queens choose as follows:
{|class="wikitable"

|[[Disco music|Disco]]
|-
|'''Raja'''
|[[Punk rock]]
|-

The queens arrive at the recording studio where they meet Ru's music producer [[Lucian Piane]]. All of the girls deal with some difficulty while recording, from Shangela's overconfidence to Yara's inability to "sound" good. The following day the queens find mp3 players with their recorded songs, and all are pleased with the final products except Carmen, who thinks she sounds horrible. After lip syncing to their songs on the main stage, it is time for the judges' critiques. Only Raja received unanimous praise from the judges, while the other queens each got their share of criticisms. After some deliberation, Yara is safe and Raja is declared the winner of the challenge. Carmen's performance lands her in the bottom two again, while Manila and Alexis are declared safe. Leaving Shangela to lip synch against Carmen to [[Cher]]'s "[[Believe (Cher song)|Believe]]". Shangela out battled Carmen and was chosen to stay, while Carmen was sent home.

As seen in episode six, the farewell message was changed once again. Originally, Carmen wrote: "Shangela, shablam across the board". This message was later changed to "Heathers better win."

====Episode Twelve: Jocks in Frocks====
As the episode begins, RuPaul reveals that Carmen Carrera is returning to the competition after being unanimously voted back by the other judges. The queens move on to the mini-challenge in which they play RuPaul's version of the [[dunk tank]], the Badonkadonk Dunking Machine. Alexis Mateo wins the challenge after managing to dunk Yara Sofia fourteen times.

RuPaul next announces the main challenge: the queens must make over five masculine, [[heterosexual]] jocks as their drag sisters. Alexis Mateo gets to choose which queen gets which jock for winning the mini-challenge. As a twist, RuPaul reveals the queens must also dress their jocks as cheerleaders and perform cheers about safe sex. The jocks soon discover the challenges of drag as the queens teach them to walk, paint, and tuck their way to the top. Carmen decides to show off her jock's body as an expression of her own drag persona; Raja tries to bring out the fierceness in her quiet jock by using a classic movie look; Alexis is hit on by her jock as she transforms him in her own image; Yara works on getting her jock to match her spicy, sexy runway style; Manila is frustrated by her jock's antics but is helped by his eagerness to learn.

The queens and their new drag sisters first perform their safe-sex cheers for the judges (including guest judges [[Margaret Cho]] and [[Sharon Osbourne]]) and conclude with their runway performances. Alexis Mateo and her drag sister are critiqued for their cheer being too busy but are praised for their mirror-image appearance. Manila is declared the winner of the challenge after she and her sister Fuchsia Luzon dazzle the judges with their Chinese doll look and hilarious cheer routine. Raja is critiqued for her drag sister Enigma's poor runway walk and for losing the judges during their cheer. Yara Sofia and her sister are praised for their runway look despite not having as dynamic performance as the other queens. The judges fawn over Carmen's personal look but critique her choice in wardrobe for her drag sister's muscular build. Alexis and Yara are declared safe while Raja and Carmen must lip-sync [[Paula Abdul]]'s "[[Straight Up]]." After a particularly sexy performance (with the heterosexual jocks cheering them on backstage, as seen in Untucked) Raja is asked to stay and Carmen is once again sent home.
