The latter is probably the strongest-she makes liberal use of LaToya's famous laugh, and she uses the little nuggets about LaToya that Ru shared with her earlier to great effect in building the character.Įureka does a very good, fully committed Divine (and really looks like her), but the character is so extreme that it is kind of on its own tier, meaning she cannot really have the sort of fun back-and-forth that Kylie and Ginger managed. In the next round we have Pandora, Eureka and Ra'Jah. Snatch Game is also given an extra surreal element thanks to social distancing guidelines, which means that after each "Snatchelor" (Cheyenne Jackson and Fortune Feimster) chooses their date, they just awkwardly date 6 feet apart from each other.Įureka as Divine, Pandora as Kim Cattrall and Ra'Jah as LaToya Jackson. Was there nothing you could have done with that?! We were rooting for you! Come on Trinity: You're sitting next to Dolly Parton, the person who wrote your most famous song. As soon as Ginger starts lobbing more Whitney references than Trinity does, it is clear she is in trouble. Trinity, meanwhile, flatlines as Whitney. As any Dolly fan knows, this was what she did when she first pitched the song to 9 to 5 co-stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, so it was a nice detail for Kylie to include. Kylie also has the Dolly one-liners down, and has a moment where she sings a song while playing her nails as percussion. If you watch footage of Diller performing, she does very specific eye movements that Ginger misses, though she does nail her joke style. There's so much to play with here-the Sex and the City stuff sure, but also her passive-aggressive feud with Sarah Jessica Parker and her love of jazz scatting. She is a tricky one though-early Divine roles are so frenzied and unhinged that it can seem too much for the more sanitized version of drag that Drag Race embodies. On the one hand a great choice-Divine is a drag legend with a unique character. The perfect Snatch Game choice-a very funny character who most viewers probably do not know, so you can get away with liberties with your characterization. No sooner have the queens wiped Jan's message (surprisingly kind after her sour exit confessional last week) and it is time for RuPaul to introduce the Snatch Game of Love.Įveryone makes pretty strong choices here-not a one-joke meme celebrity to be seen: Making Trinity the frontrunner just before a challenge she has a high chance of doing badly in gives the episode a natural dramatic arc rather than the one the show often tries to awkwardly shoehorn in. Episode 8 may not be a great Snatch Game, but it is a beautifully produced piece of reality TV. Trinity, meanwhile, is celebrating being the frontrunner after winning her second challenge.

Those who did not watch Untucked missed a great moment where we saw the pair of them decide to vote for Pandora in real time. Episode 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 begins with the reveal that it was Ginger and Eureka who caused the shock tie in the last episode.
Eureka on the other hand really embodied Divine (certainly better than anyone managed in the wasted opportunity that was the Season 7 John Waters challenge), but was not consistently funny.īut we'll get to all that.

They are in good company there-two of my favorite Snatch Game performances are Jessica Wild as RuPaul and Monét X Change as Maya Angelou, neither of which was anything like the person they were playing-but they lack the full package of an Alaska as Mae West or Adore Delano as Anna Nicole Smith. Instead, Ginger and Kylie are funny but don't fully embody the character. No one on this All Stars 6 version manages to do both at the same time. There are two steps to a great Snatch Game character-really embodying the person, and being really funny.
Snatch Game (or, as it is on All Stars, Snatch Game of Love), is probably the most anticipated challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race, but at this point we have had as many underwhelming ones as we have had standouts.
