"That's like meeting God and Beyonce is Jesus."
- Trinity (Upon finding out that this week's guest judge is Beyonce's mommy, Tina… The fangirling tho' 💜💜💜)
Bruh, I am uncomfortable with how close Trinity came to going home this episode. To the point that I was practically curled up like a ball on my bed. I didn't want her elimination to touch me! Luckily, that's not what happened, but what did happen? Let's talk about it.
It's Snatch Game people! Quick question: The powers that be know how much we hate Snatch Game Of Love so why do they keep doing the shit? I mean, it's just a shitty format.
Ya know, I kinda miss the mini challenges. Even if at times they were a little hit and miss, I miss the awkwardness. The episode opens with us bidding yet another goodbye to Jan. Ya know, I stand by the fact that it was her time. I wasn't feeling the Jantasy this season. She shoulda waited a few years before coming back.
They sit down and go through the box with everyone talking about why they chose the name they chose. Pandora thanks Trinity for saving her and Trinity (Still looking damn good, might I say) says "You're welcome!" She also tells Pandora not to let the queens speak over her and she expects her to be louder than Eureka from here on out. Speaking of Eureka...
Pandora is mad at Eureka for putting her name in the box, but not Ginger who also popped her name in there. Wait, what? Like, she's big mad. Um… Okay? Like, she tells Eureka she better not land in the bottom which was funny, but at the same time, my first thought was: "But what if y'all are in the bottom together and Trinity has to pick or some shit?" I have a hard time imagining Trinity sending Eureka home. Just saying 🤷🤷🤷
Mmkay, so the queens have a walk through with Rupaul and the interpretation I was most excited for was Divine. Divine was my introduction into all things drag. Not Rupaul and definitely not drag race. I know how dark drag can go because of Divine. I also know how artistic. Thanks, Divine. Oh! And she's the reason why Ursula is my favorite Disney villain. (Well, it's a toss up between her and Scar. Y'all know how I feel about me some Scar)
Honestly, as soon as Trinity told Rupaul she was gonna be Whitney Houston, I saw the car crash coming. Singers don't do well on Snatch Game. Even as I type that, I'm hard down trying to think of a singer that did well on Snatch Game. Oh wait! Season 4! Chad Michaels with Cher. I mean, Kenya Michaels did Beyonce on that very same episode but Beyonce was hopped up on candy corn, cocaine and Ambien. (In that order) So yeah, no singers. (Bruh, the fact that I start every morning with BTS now… 💜💜💜) Or is it cuz here comes Sonique saying she's gonna be Dolly Parton. You know what? Let's see how this goes. There are two singers on the panel!
As soon as I start collecting their runways, I can get into how their performances were, but 1st, I wanna talk about how even if their relationship isn't real, I enjoy Eureka and TKB's friendship. It makes me smile when they do little interactions. Actually, to say they set this season up to be the season with big personalities, all the queens seem to get along great.
^Queen (This week's runway is Pop Art and unfortunately, my knowledge starts and ends with Andy Warhol. With that being said, I like this)
Snatch Game: I have absolutely no idea who Phyllis Dihlar is (Shit, I probably just spelled that wrong) but that doesn't matter cuz Ginger cracked me the fuck up! That bodyguard reference was my everything! I dunno if she knew more Whitney Houston responses than TKB or if she was just faster, but... Yeah.
^Knight (Tho' I appreciate the reference, I dunno. No, yes I do. It's the hair. Something about that hair is just not okay with my eyes)
Snatch Game: Gurl... This is how you Snatch Game! Sonique as Dolly Parton is everything I wanna be in life. When Ginger said she hadn't seen her feet since 1977 and Sonique went "Me too", I could not. Not only that, that song she made up about Cheyenne on the dime! That shit! OMC 💜💜💜
^Queen... Nah. Nope. This isn't enough
^QUEEN (This. This right here. The creativity... Yasssssss)
Snatch Game: Toldja so. And what's worse, she was in between the Ginger and Sonique show. At one point she was just sitting there laughing and enjoying the show. I mean, I get it 🤷🤷🤷
^Queen (Awwwwww Eureka. Awwwwww)
Snatch Game: Eureka's jokes were okay. I won't remember any of them later and I laughed like, twice. I believe she woulda killed it on regular Snatch Game. Ugh, I despise "Of Love"
^Queen (I know they said this isn't exactly Pop Art, but I live for this. Maybe it's the presentation. I dunno. All I know is this is too cute!)
Snatch Game: She played a strong, safe Latoya Jackson. She's not winning no trophies, but she did the damn thing. Her little Latoya laugh after making her jokes is what sold it. Oh, and having enough sense to take Rupaul's workroom advice.
^Queen (I'm just glad Pandora went home in something cute 🤷🤷🤷 I love this)
Snatch Game: This was the driest Kim Cattrell I've ever seen considering I don't know who she is. It's not supposed to matter that I have no idea, Pandora! Damn!!!
Well, I just spoiled Pandora's exit so who was our assassin this week? Heidi N Closet! Hi Heidi! Rupaul still hates your name 😂😂😂 Man, Ginger won that lipsync fair and square and I hate that I know it. Heidi's wig reveal happened too earlier and at times she just looked desperate. I dunno.
Either way, Ginger wins and she chooses Pandora. Whoo! That was too close, Trinity!
