The contestant who won each week had the power to select two fellow contestants who they believe should be in the bottom for that week. Kita Mean and Anita Wigl'it then decided who would "have their light dimmed" and be sent home. The contestants competed to be crowned the winner of The House of Drag, take home a prize of $10,000, a 55" LG Smart LED TV and one year of free broadband, courtesy of the show's sponsor Chorus Limited.[1][2]
