Drag Race (Season 4)

The fourth season of Drag Race premiered in the United States on May 28th, 2012 and ended on September 3rd of the same year. Fourteen contestants were selected to compete in the running of becoming "America's Next Drag Superstar."
The winner of the fourth season of Drag Race was Paige Turner, with Dehlia O'Hara and Marina Del Ray being the runners-up, making it the first time in the show's history to have two runners-up. The final also featured the first three-way lip-sync battle, instead of the usual format with two competitors. It was the first season in which the winner was not crowned in the studio, but instead in front of a live audience. This was also the first time three versions of the finale were filmed with each Top 3 contestant being crowned to prevent spoilers. The Miss Congeniality of the season was Rosetta Stone.
