WHAT DID WE THINK OF SNATCH GAME? Don't forget:

[DecarabiaSMT]

Sam Star getting critiqued for doing too good and Lexi being safe for giving up instantly is coo-coo bananas.

[MilesToGoGo]

Describing Rosa Parks as “having a good time on the bus” is 😂😂

[rubenramires]

Lana relying on one "joke" and not preparing for snatch gane is literally insane😂

[LightningStrm]

The fact that nobody answered "Katya" to the "what was under the bed in Trixie Motel" question was a crime against drag.

[ProjectLethargic]

I really wish the snatch game happened later, I feel like more queens means everyone gets much less screen time and the snatch game feels worse because we get less time with the good performances

[legalese]

I just don’t understand the “you’re too polished” critique. I’ve never understood it. I will never understand it.

[juspiable]

What makes me so mad about Lana's performance is that it literally seemed like she prepared ONE joke. ONE singular, very mediocre joke that Ru smashed literally in the first second. It was similar with Arietty - her whole act was literally only that she was a baby.
I think this is kind of showing of the past 4/5 snatch games: A lot of Non-Comedy-Queens kind of stopped putting effort into their performances. I think Sam Star is a very good example of a pageant queen simply doing their homework and delivering a good act. Sam is not widely known for her comedic skills - but she was prepared. Drag Race is more about looks nowadays - which is very pleasing to the eye but less for the mind.

Why would anyone base their entire Snatch Game strategy off of one single joke? “Is the bus still running?” You are Rosa Parks, and you didn’t think that would be the first thing Ru would say to you? Gagged.

[RoyG.BivDevoe]

When Ru said 'everybody say love' and Onya said it while nobody else did is when I realized that Onya was gonna be good!

[kristinamurphy]

Big Little Shop fan here. Ellen Green plays Audrey with a lisp which makes the word scissors difficult. That being said, Ellen Green is an icon for a select niche and while playing up the lisp can be funny once Suzie beat that dead horse to a pulp and owes Ellen an apology.

[jhunifiedwithlove]

Justice for Crystal Envy. She’s the sacrificial lamb this season so that social media would be talking about it.

[atolm]

Suzie's Iron Maiden runway look is INCREDIBLE, one of the best looks ever on that runway.

[dndndndndn]

I gotta admit, Snatch Game went from my fav part of this show to one that stresses me the f out now! The trainwrecks keep outnumbering the laughs big time

[Gemmy]

Suzie Toot could have added a lot more little shop moments for sure. Could have talked about dentists and her fear of them. Could have brought on a plant puppet. Could have played into regret of picking boring seymore and somewhere that’s green instead of picking the wife beating dentist. Could have sung answers in the style of suddenly seymore.

[rydbthatsme]

They aren’t even trying to hide the favoritism🙄

[diskeyes]

Lana DID step in front her first, which is what Crystal was annoyed about

[cuppapablo]

Suzie's delusion this episode was top tier. I grew up loving Little Shop and would watch it EVERY SINGLE TIME I found it while channel surfing, and I still found her Snatch to be entirely rotted.

[happiestplace]

ELEVEN queens in Snatch Game??? NO. This was boo boo. At most, it should be eight, but better with 7. I literally thought it was 10 people (5 on top, 5 on bttm), until so many people started pointing out there are still 11 queens. This is ridiculous as we only saw 1 or 2 responses from each queen. Again, like you said, it allows production to manipulate the edit to make a queen look good or bad.

I feel like im gettign gaslighted idk why everyone liked the lana lipsync. I think crystal EASILY won ghat
