RuPaul's Drag Race: Snatch Game
Last week’s elimination was so emotional, we finally got to learn a bit more about Blair but unfortunately it was her time to go. So the queens head back into the workroom and Vixen starts talking about turning it up even more and for someone who is at 10 almost all the time (well at least in untucked), she can only get even messier and I’m here for it! There’s a little bit of shade early on when Monique is talking about why she thinks she hasn’t won a challenge yet. She’s made it no secret that she doesn’t have the money to buy new looks for each runway so she’s had to make a lot of them there which Monet doesn’t seem to agree with but we have seen queens like Adore who didn’t have many looks go far so maybe Monet’s right?
Moving on, our favourite mini challenge is here, time for some reading! The library is open and the queens went in! I think this is the first time I didn’t cringe at any of them, and Monet absolutely killed me. Then we’re onto the challenge that we’ve all been waiting for, Snatch Game! It was such a nice touch to have Bianca Del Rio come back and talk to the queens, her Judge Judy is probably the best I’ve seen on Snatch Game and I’ve missed seeing her hateful self on my screen.
So who were the queens imitating, here’s a full list:
Asia – Beyonce
Vixen – Blue Ivy Carter
Monet – Maya Angelou
Aquaria – Melania Trump
Miz Cracker – Dorothy Parker
Kameron - Chyna
Monique – Maxine Waters
Eureka – Honey Boo Boo
Monet and Aquaria were incredible! I was so surprised that Aquaria could be that funny, I was expecting her to have maybe 2 jokes and then just go downhill but I was pleasantly surprised. I was so glad that we finally got to see Monet doing so well in a challenge! Eureka and Kameron were okay in my opinion, it kind of felt like Eureka was doing too much and I don’t remember seeing that much of Kameron but her voice as Chyna was hilarious. Asia made me so sad, how many queens have been warned about doing Beyoncé for Snatch Game but no one wants to listen! I actually found her Beyoncé funny at first but then it got boring and then I just couldn’t watch it anymore. It was weird that Asia thought Vixen’s Blue Ivy would save her performance when Vixen needed saving herself!
Onto the runway, this week’s theme was Mermaid Realness, the queens had to be mermaids in wheelchairs just like Bette Midler as Delores De Lago. I loved this runway, who doesn’t like pastel coloured wigs with crowns and gorgeous fins. No surprise at all, Aquaria is the winner of this week’s challenge, her mermaid look was definitely the most creative. Monique is in the bottom two along with The Vixen, I was really rooting for Monique, she is probably the funniest queen this season without even trying to be, but then the worst happened, she didn’t know the words! I couldn’t even get upset when she was eliminated because it was her fault. Hopefully there’ll be an opportunity for her to come back or the rest of the season is about to be real quiet!
Funniest moment: Monet’s read on Miz Cracker and all the reactions had me rolling
Side-eye moment: Vixen getting at Eureka, I don’t even like Eureka but Vixen needs to start focusing on herself instead of other people
Winner (in my eyes): Aquaria deserved it but it would have been nice to see Monet win
Bottom Two: Even though it breaks my heart, the right two were in the bottom
