Status: Lost
On March 1st, 2011, gossiper Perez Hilton shared major spoilers about American reality television competition RuPaul's Drag Race's Season 3 winner; revealing former competitor Raja had won the contest almost two months before it's "Season Finale" (aired May 2nd, 2011).[1]
Season Finale formatting has been changed (Season 4 up to Season 12). Since 2012, the finale has been held in front of a live audience; multiple endings have been filmed to prevent spoilers, like those revealed for Season 3; thus, each season winner has been announced as its Season Finale is aired.[2][3] Footage and audiovisuals of runner up drag queens acting as if they had won the crown remains unaired.
