It is time for another episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 13. Although it seems that none of the queens have gone home all season, this episode finally sends someone packing. It is time for the best challenge of the entire show... the Snatch Game!
Kandy Muse was saved last minute last week and she tells the cameras that there are still nine queens left. Nine. Cats have nine lives, but reality tv competition contestants do not. It is time to start sending some hoes home. It feels like there has been 3 seasons of Drag Race UK while we wait for season 13 to begin. This season may be slow but this episode is the Snatch Game and as Kandy puts it, "this is the pinnacle of Drag Race".
RuPaul does his classic walk-through to mess with the girls' minds before this difficult challenge. Elliott with 2 Ts tells RuPaul that she is doing Rue McClanahan. RuPaul warns her that she knows The Golden Girls like the back of her hand, but Elliott is sticking with the choice. Symone is doing Harriett Tubman. RuPaul asks her if she is worried it will be offensive and Symone says "If it makes people uncomfortable and starts a conversation I did my job."
Utica is doing Bob Ross with squirrels on his head. She says she does not want to wear an afro because it would be appropriation. RuPaul warns her that Bob Ross might be a little too somber for the Snatch Game but Utica refuses to change her choice. If this character makes Ru Sleepy (Hollow) Utica might be shuffling off to Buffalo.
Overall the Snatch Game is very good. Call this Snatch Game Detox because it "may not be the best but it ain't the worst." Symone as Harriet Tubman, Gottmik as Paris Hilton, and Denali as Jonathan Van Ness all kill it. They are hilarious and the energy in the room is so fun. Rosé is difficult to understand as Mary, Queen of Scots, but she is for sure nailing it as well. Even Kandy Muse does well enough as a make-up mogul, which is classically a terrible choice for Snatch Game. Kandy lands in the safe pile this week with Tina Burner who is good, but not great as Richard Simmons.
Olivia Lux falls apart in a performance challenge for the first time this season. She portrays some Instagram vegan which was not a good choice. Olivia Lux tweeted that she brought Rachel Dolezal as her first choice and "they said no." Luckily for her Elliott with 2 Ts is horrible as Rue Mclanahan and Utica bombs hard as Bob Ross.
Tonight on the runway category is fascinating fascinators. Olivia Lux looks a bit costumey. It is sort of Dexter's Laboratory but make it drag. Rosé looks really incredible this week. This rose-covered look is made of money. Utica is a literal picnic basket. She looks so good. Symone looks so stunning and then she turns around reveals "say their names" with two bullet holes on her back. It is very effective and powerful. Denali looks cute but simple. She is rollerskating down the runway which is for sure extra points! Gottmik looks amazing. She has a saftey pin on her head but she will not be safe this week! Elliott looks insane. She is kind of a pink flamingo. Tina Burner... girl what are these lewks!? Tina is in some sort of horse outfit. It is very draggy which is fun but Utica very rudely looks incredible in red, orange, and yellow right in front of her! Kandy Muse looks great this week. She has a feather piece on her head that says Muse.
Symone is safe which is a bit of a shock. She picked the riskiest Snatch Game character and her runway was incredible. The top three are Denali, Rosé, and Gottmik. Gottmik is the winner which the absolute correct choice. The bottom two are Utica and Elliott with 2 Ts.
Utica surprises with a very solid lip sync and sends Elliott with 2 Ts packing. She may have gone home tonight, but at least she got to be in 307 episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race. Forty-six queens remain. (eight queens remain).
