The Untucked Lounge or Backstage are behind-the-scenes locations where the queens go to socialize during the judges' post-critique deliberations, before revealing the winner of the challenge and the bottom queens of the episode.
The Untucked Lounge is seen better during Untucked, a series that shows all that happens backstage while the judges deliberate. From the exception of Season 7's, Untucked is shown on television after the airing of each episode. Nevertheless, Untucked episodes from Season 7, 8 and 9 were uploaded to World Of Wonder to their YouTube channel; since Season 10 they are uploaded to WOW Present Plus.
