Posted August 5, 20214 yr It's the Snatch Game (unfortunately Of Love, but still) - the most iconic Drag Race challenge! This separates the men from the boys, but will someone join Trinity with two wins? Will Eureka or Pandora finally snatch (lol xoxoxoxo) a win? With icons such as Phyllis Diller, Dolly Parton and LaToya Jackson on the cards, who will come up trumps?
August 5, 20214 yr Author Easy judging this week, right bottom 2. Trinity just gave NOTHING, you don't do Whitney for Snatch Game, it really frustrates me when we are this far into the show existing and people don't bring a Snatch Game that they know they can be funny with. Pandora was ok but very one note, and she has just been so defeated this whole time, and there wasn't that spark or energy or wit, you'd expect her to eat a Snatch Game but Eureka absolutely owned that group. People seem to be thinking Eureka was worse than Pandora but I think that was bullshit, Pandora was kind of just herself and one note which is one of the no-nos in Snatch Game. Ginger absolutely won that but I was really surprised with Kylie, she was brilliant! I love that those two had such a good back and forth, and took opportunities every time they came, even when it wasn't a question directed to them. I'm so glad Kylie got her redemption, didn't know she had that in her but I think she has cemented herself as a contender now, she has killed the runway and has been a great performer as we expected but she's done really well with acting and now comedy! Eureka high was great to see too as she really owned the second group, Ra'Jah was fine but a very "safe" performance. I just LOVE Eureka so much this time around, the way she reacted to the Pandora situation I think really shows how much she has grown, she is still the loud and assertive character who stands out but S10 Eureka never would have reacted with that nuance and maturity. Ginger was the right lipsync winner too, her campiness brought out the nature of the song. Heidi was good but she just did the kicks and splits that always make for a good lipsync but didn't embody the song.
August 5, 20214 yr This episode felt fairly predictable but still fun. I feel like Pandora has been hanging on by her fingertips since episode 1 with a brief resurgence in the ad episode. This might come off mean but was her face frozen a bit from the botox or something? She did say she had had some. But that might explain why she's seemed so muted every episode yet has been on twitter talking about how actually she was contributing more than we saw. What did baffle me a little this season is how iirc we never saw Pandora and Kylie interact. They were season 2 sisters! Even this episode they both had a storyline relating to the season 2 Snatch Game and yet didn't interact once over it. Ginger really killed the runway. I could've seen a Kylie win if her runway was better. She's now earned $50k just from lipsyncs!
August 5, 20214 yr I enjoyed the episode. Ginger was the right winner, although I think if Kylie had a better runway she could've taken it too - she did really well! Glad to see Eureka do really well this week too. She absolutely steam rolled her group. Raja's performance was good, but not at the level of Eureka/Ginger/Kylie. Pandora fell completely flat. :( I was expecting so much more from her. It was the right time for her to go. And Trinity... Complete bomb. Although her runway was STUNNING. I think her runway was by far my favourite. I LOVED her makeup.
August 5, 20214 yr Eureka needs to win a challenge already - consistency will not propel her towards the final! Definitely the right bottom two as many have said above. Trinity looked amazing as Whitney but had no idea how to make her funny. And unless you go super dark with the jokes I’m not sure how you’d make her funny Pandora was so disappointing but was so in her head. The choice was bad too. I thought Ra’Jah was good enough although she didn’t have the laugh or a good runway outfit Top 3 were clear for me. Ginger, Kylie and Eureka all embodied the people they were imitating. I loooove how Kylie is doing, as I felt she went way too early in her season.
August 6, 20214 yr I actually thought Kylie was the right winner, not Ginger. Ginger did a bit too much; she showboated as some would have been in trouble for in the past. Kylie was funny; got her jokes in and had just enough banter without feeling like she has to fill the room at every moment. I'd have fully swapped Kylie and Ginger's wins this season. I thought Rah'ja was actually really funny and they undersold her. (Her runway was not okay though): @1423450229756481538 Easily the worst lip sync of the season too. Edited August 6, 20214 yr by 365
August 6, 20214 yr Author Lowkey I wish they had done a double win just because they had such a great back and forth, it could've been a gag making them lipsync for a win. I kinda miss that in AS, the lipsync assassins sometimes provide epic moments (imagine missing out on Laganja's Physical serve) but I miss there being that recognition when there's a challenge where it's hard to find a winner. Ra'Jah and Trinity would probs be on like 4 wins each by now :lol:

The producers force storylines and then pass up obvious moments like Kylie deservedly winning Snatch Game after being eliminated for it last time They really tried to edit Heidi out of that lip sync lmao
