I think this episode really highlighted just how out of touch with UK humour Ru can be sometimes. It seemed he'd made his mind up from the word go in this Snatch Game that he already hated it and just wanted to love Tomara just because she made him laugh in the work room.

Michael Marouli was really done dirty - you could tell Alexandra and Carol knew exactly what he was going for with Catherine Tate, and I personally thought she absolutely SMASHED both Bernie and Derek too, so it was a shame to see her end up just safe. I wish she had been critiqued too because I'd be interested to hear the difference of opinion between Michelle/Ru and Alan/Alexandra. But meh.

DeDe deserved to stay after that lip-sync and that was the correct result tonight. I'm so glad Vicki's gone now. She's had a large portion of drag delusion for some time now, and although her runway was exquisite, that performance in the Snatch Game was one of the most flat ever.

Ginger absolutely won that, clear cut. But basically anyone bar the bottom 2 could have been high in any other UK Snatch Game to be honest, Tomara had me ROLLING she was so unhinged, Michael nailed it and deserved a high but I do think it was just a nailed on character, there wasn’t that lightning quick wit and adaption to every question that Ginger had, which is peak Snatch Game.

I adore Kate but I thought her Kate Bush deserved a low place low-key, just a personal thing for me but I hate Snatch Games like this or a historical character where they make something up instead of actually nailing someone’s mannerisms. But it was funny and she did banter with the judges and volley a bit.

I’m annoyed Vicki wasted that character because Fanny Craddock really feels like it could easily be an amazing Snatch Game, she has some really horrible biting moments that I feel would transpose really well to volleying with others and being a dynamic Snatch Game that actually reacts to what’s happening.

Another great episode. Cara did much better than I thought she would!

This season's snatch game pretty much encapsulates why I'm not the biggest fan of Ru doing the UK snatch game. A number of things seemed to go over his head. Michael was done so dirty, I was thinking they were going to win it was so good! You could see Carol and Alex losing it but Ru just standing there sort of smiling. Tomara's performance at snatch game is also another thing I kind of dislike about it. She just went to be silly/stupid due to Ru's comments that it was just a bit too manic for me personally. Whilst I get the whole point is to make Ru laugh, I would prefer a UK-based celeb/drag queen to host snatch game so we get something more in line with British humour.

Not that I didn't enjoy this snatch game, but it could've been even better with slightly better judging.

Also, Dede slayed that lip sync! Two great lip syncs in a row *_* I wasn't expecting her to be the lip sync assassin this season.

I thought that everyone except the bottom two aced snatch game this year, it was excellent I was crying laughing. I feel like overall the cast is much stronger this year! Right person went though.

Just watched the episode with my flatmates finally *.*

I would have loved Tomara Thomas. She was ridiculous in the Snatch Game and her runway lewk was the best for me. Michael Marouli should've been in the top and Kate Butch was a bit mediocre. Correct bottom 2 and great to see DeDeLicious turning out to be one hell of a lipsync assassin. At least we got to say goodbye to delulu Vicki kink.gif

My ranking:
1. Tomara Thomas
2. Ginger Johnson
3. Michael Marouli
4. Kate Butch
5. Cara Melle
6. DeDeLicious
7. Vicki Vivacious
