The seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race began airing on March 2, 2015.[1] RuPaul and Michelle Visage returned as judges, while the space previously occupied by Santino Rice was filled by new additions Ross Mathews and Carson Kressley.[1] Matthews and Kressley were only both present for the season premiere and took turns sharing judging responsibilities. Shawn Morales, a member of the Pit Crew since the third season and Simon Sherry-Wood, a member in the sixth season, did not appear this season and were replaced by Bryce Eilenberg. Like the previous two seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race, the season featured 14 contestants competing for the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar", a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics and a cash prize of 100,000 dollars. The season premiere debuted with a live and same-day viewership of 350,000, a 20% increase from the previous season. On March 20, 2015, it was announced that LogoTV had given the series an early renewal for an eighth season.[2]

    [ru] Королевские гонки Ру Пола (7 сезон)

    Седьмой сезон реалити-шоу «Королевские гонки Ру Пола» начался 2 марта 2015 года. Ру Пол и Мишель Визаж вернулись к ролям главных судей, в то время как место прошлого судьи Сантино Райса разделили Карсон Крессли и Росс Мэтьюз, Последние присутствовали вдвоем за судейским столом только в первом эпизоде, далее они чередовались. Как и в предыдущих двух сезонах за право стать «Следующей американской суперзвездой драга», годовой запас косметики от «Anastasia Beverly Hills» и 100 000 долларов боролись четырнадцать королев.
