For those who are not part of Ru Universe, the Pit Crew is the name given to the muscular hotties who appear on camera during various shows, the latest of which is "RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under," available for streaming on the World of Wonder website with a subscription.
For this edition, it is a crew of two who are sometimes played off as himbos, with challenges such as: "Are You Smarter Than a Pit Crew Member?" In the case of the current Aussie team, they certainly can hold their own in terms of accomplishments, drive and smarts. Not to mention their buff looks.
