The format of the show closely follows the US version where contestants compete in light-hearted mini challenges that test a specific drag queen skill – like make-up design or "reading" (pointing out someone's flaws) – before taking on the Maxi Challenge. This is the headline moment of each show where the queens may be required to perform, model in a photoshoot or to prepare a runway look for a themed challenge before having to face the judges. One queen each week is eliminated and asked to "sashay away".
