The second season of RuPaul's Drag Race premiered on February 1, 2010, and aired its final episode on April 26 of the same year.

[1] At the end of the online casting period, Jessica Wild had collected the most votes and was announced as being a season two contestant.

[2] For season two, the number of contestants was increased from nine to twelve, and the prizes were slightly modified: a lifetime supply of NYX Cosmetics and be the face of nyxcosmetics.com, an exclusive one year public relations contract with LGBT firm Project Publicity, be featured an LA Eyeworks campaign, join the Logo Drag Race tour, and a cash prize of $25,000.

A new tradition of writing a farewell message, in lipstick on their workstation mirror, was started by Shangela, the first eliminated queen of the season.

The theme song playing during the runway and the end credits every episode is the Gomi and RasJek remix of "Jealous of My Boogie" from RuPaul's album Champion.

Sahara Davenport died of heart failure at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on October 1, 2012, at age 27.

She has a history of inflammatory tweets [17] [18] which either implicitly or explicitly call for violence, which has led to Drag Race distancing itself from her, including her being banned from RuPaul's DragCon LA 2018 after making a potential bomb threat [19] while she claims to be the victim.

[20] Most recently this was brought to a head in 2025 when she posted inhumane tweets following the passing of Drag Race UK Series 1 winner The Vivienne.

Renewed calls for her disqualification were made, and RuPaul responded to her tweet with a scene from season 2 where she appears to slap Tyra.
