## Trivia

* This is the first season...
	+ ...to see a queen compete for the fourth time (Nikky Fox).
	+ ...where no low/bottom placements were given out.
	+ ...where queens don't have the chance to fight for their place in the competition. Instead, Micro simply eliminated them based on their performances throughout the season.
		- The format change means that queens have the possibility to be in the top (or even win) for an episode and still go home.
		- While Micro insisted that the eliminations were based on track records, there have been some cases where the eliminated queen(s) did not have the worst track record.
	+ ...to have an episode where the queens lipsynced in pairs.
	+ ...to have two winners.
* This is the second season...
	+ ...to have a secondary prize, after All Stars 2, where the two runners-up each received a month of Nitro Basic.
	+ ...to consist of only 10 queens, after Season 3.
		- Coincidentally, these are the only two seasons to have Angolan Desert competing.
* Steph Infection is the only All Stars finalist on either season to not be on the season, though it is unclear whether she received an invitation or not.
* Iris Eternal's appearance as a guest judge marks her second rebrand on Micro's Drag Race, having previously gone by Love Skylar and OG Goulett.
* Micro admitted that the decision on who to crown was so hard that she consulted Steph Infection for a tarot reading. According to Steph, when she asked about the winner of the season, the card that came up was two people holding hands, which perfectly alludes to the double crowning.
* Because of the large number of leaks from All Stars 2, Micro drastically heightened security measures for the season to avoid any season spoilers.
	+ Most queens with a history of leaking past season information were not even considered for the final cast.
	+ The season's guest judges were not allowed to join the server, and were instead sent the submissions by Micro herself. Most of them also judged episodes where the majority of the cast was present, so they wouldn't even know what week of the competition they were in.
	+ Micro announced to the competitors that any evidence of them leaking information about the season would lead to them being instantly disqualified.
	+ Ironically, despite all of Micro's anti-leak efforts, the track record for the first eight episodes was posted to the MDR subreddit by u/ETNFanatic, who then began sending it to people on Discord. It was quickly brought to Micro's attention, and the post was immediately taken down before anyone else could see it.
		- The leaker would not say where she got the track record, but it was eventually found out that Nikky Fox had sent it to her, leading to Nikky being called out for it on the main stage during Episode 9. Since she had already been eliminated, she was not disqualified.
