The sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race began airing February 24, 2014. Like the fifth season, the season featured 14 contestants competing for the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar". For the first time in the show's history, the season premiere was split into two episodes; the fourteen queens are split into two groups and the seven queens into each group compete against each other before being united as one group for the third episode. The winner of this season was Bianca Del Rio. Adore Delano and Courtney Act were the Runners-Up.
Santino Rice and Michelle Visage are back as judges at the panel. Two new pit crew members, Miles Moody and Simon Sherry-Wood, joined Jason Carter and Shawn Morales. The winner of this season won a prize package that included a supply from Colorevolution Cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000. This was also the first season where Absolut Vodka and Interior Illusions, Inc. were not sponsors for the show, more specifically for the Untucked episodes. The Interior Illusions Lounge is now simply known as the Silver Lounge or FormDecor Lounge. The theme song played during the runway segment every episode was "Sissy That Walk" while the song playing during the credits is "Dance With U", both from the album Born Naked.
Adore Delano competed on the second season of All Stars. She quit the competition and placed 9th overall.

RuPaul then announces to the queens that the season premiere will be split into two episodes; those first seven queens will compete against each other in the first part, and the remaining seven will compete against each other in the second part. The mini-challenge for this week was a photoshoot that consisted of jumping off a small platform into a foam-filled container and taking a picture mid-air. Laganja Estranja was declared the winner. This week's main challenge was to design a high-fashion outfit using materials inspired by a TV show. As the winner of the mini-challenge, Laganja Estranja could assign the TV show:
