00:00And I'd like to take a moment, is that my camera?
00:02Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:06for the greatest snatch games in drag race herstory.
00:09For this list, we're only counting the American franchises,
00:13but beware of potential spoilers.
00:15The nipples are the eyes of the face.
00:19And you've got gorgeous nipples.
00:25Number 30.
00:26Playing Jane as Yelena Karlausha.
00:29Season 16.
00:30What is BBW?
00:31It's Beautiful Balkan War Survivors.
00:38Portraying a celebrity the audience might not know anything about
00:41is a brilliant and bold strategy.
00:43You can take the idea of a person and make it up as you go along.
00:47Playing Jane paid tribute to her Eastern European heritage
00:50in the form of Serbian pop star Yelena Karlausha.
00:54As competitor Safira Kristal put it,
00:57Plain really weaponized her Slavic upbringing here.
01:00She reminds me of my deceased babushka.
01:05Did you say deceased or diseased?
01:07Both.
01:09Plain is hilarious.
01:11She is really weaponizing her Slavic upbringing.
01:14Her humor was cold, and her punchlines were brutal.
01:17But when you're a beautiful Balkan War Survivor,
01:19there's no time for warmth.
01:21No, it's not true.
01:22You are a very ugly man.
01:27I would never touch you.
01:29She's in total control here, setting the pace for the entire challenge
01:33and daring everyone to keep up.
01:35Golden Girls is brand new in Serbia.
01:38Okay.
01:39And I don't know direct translation.
01:41I think it translates to thank you for being comrade.
01:44Number 29.
01:46Raja O'Hara as Latoya Jackson.
01:48All Stars 6.
01:50Well, I am a fitness expert, although I don't like to work out.
01:57So, I have to say...
02:02Playing this lesser-known Jackson sibling in the Snatch Game of Love
02:06was as strategic a decision as it was creative.
02:09Raja O'Hara must have known RuPaul is a longtime Latoya fan.
02:13Her high-pitched voice and quirky personality made her ripe for a fun parody.
02:18However, Raja's secret weapon was her series of contradictory and out-of-touch answers
02:22to practically every question she was asked.
02:25I am a cat lover, although I'm allergic.
02:28You can't trust a single thing her Latoya says.
02:31Her daffy responses had Rue in hysterics the entire time.
02:35She didn't receive a top placement in this episode,
02:37but frankly, we demand a recount.
02:40What are you wearing?
02:43We are celebrating our first date, silly!
02:49Cheers to you and me.
02:50And what am I wearing?
02:52A nice pantsuit.
02:56Number 28.
02:57Sasha Velour as Marlena Dietrich.
03:00Season 9.
03:01I'm wearing a suit.
03:02You know, when I wear a suit, people say,
03:03Marlena, are you a lesbian?
03:06And I look at them and I say, yes.
03:09Bringing old Hollywood knowledge and a modern understanding of sexuality,
03:13and the things classic stars got up to when no one was looking,
03:16Sasha's Marlena Dietrich is a camp triumph.
03:19She used Dietrich's characteristic sultriness
03:22and reported affairs with women to great comic effect on season 9's Snatch Game.
03:27May I have this?
03:28Of course.
03:38The great thing about her Marlena is that,
03:40while it might have inspired young viewers to look her up,
03:42you don't necessarily need to know much about her to get the jokes.
03:45Well, I found this question kind of unfair,
03:48because as you know, I rarely knows these new things.
03:51I rarely leave my house.
03:53Yeah.
03:54And I died many decades ago.
03:55You did.
03:56Honestly, dirty humor and a German accent both go a long way in making things sound funny.
04:01Although she didn't win the episode, Sasha did Teutonic bisexuals everywhere proud.
04:07I'd love to give Fräulein Kandisch-Kehn a signed photograph.
04:10I promise that Teutonic bisexuals make the most forceful and unforgettable lovers.
04:18Number 27.
04:19Lucy LaDuca as Joan Rivers.
04:22Season 15.
04:23Johnny, we have missed you so much.
04:25Oh God, I had to miss a ciggo out of you.
04:29We love a nasty queen.
04:31Lucy LaDuca's Joan Rivers was delightfully vulgar, mean, and low-key horrifying.
04:36Joan Rivers.
04:37Now Joan, we know you as Joan Rivers.
04:39What's your middle name?
04:41That bitch.
04:43Oh, my parents hated me.
04:44She basically took aim at everyone.
04:47Not even the pit crew was safe from her barbed tongue.
04:49I say it before they give their answers.
04:51Yes, yes.
04:52Rocket scientist my ass.
04:57But like the real Joan Rivers, she made fun of herself too.
05:00Anyone else probably would have been offended by a parody this unhinged.
05:04But given how self-deprecating and hilariously rotten the late comic could be,
05:09she probably would have been flattered.
05:10I've had a team of rocket scientists working on this face for years.
05:14You do amazing, amazing work.
05:15Lucy handily won the challenge.
05:18It's no let loose,
05:19but the snatch game was arguably this queen's best moment of the season.
05:23What'd you say?
05:23They say a picture spee-
05:25What is that saying?
05:26Like a picture-
05:27It's worth a thousand words, asshole.
05:30Number 26.
05:32Kylie Sonique Love as Dolly Parton.
05:34All Stars 6.
05:36If we were going on a two-week vacation at a nudist colony, what would you pack?
05:41Well, I imagine I would need to bring my waxing kit.
05:44We don't need the whole airport, just the landing strip.
05:47Sometimes the best thing you can do is find what works and stick to it.
05:50When Kylie Sonique Love picked the queen of Dollywood for All Stars 6's Snatch Game of Love,
05:56she stuck to a very simple formula.
05:58Don't listen to them, honey.
05:59This place is Jurassic Park.
06:03Because they look extinct, and they are dead.
06:06From the makeup to the breastplate, she had Dolly's look down,
06:10but it was the improvisation that really impressed us.
06:12She more than kept up with the season's most seasoned comedian,
06:16Ginger Minj.
06:17The only thing I haven't been able to see in years are my feet.
06:21Me too.
06:24Everything she said was a perfect blend of Dolly's love for a folksy phrase
06:28and RuPaul's love of a dirty double entendre.
06:31Number 25.
06:33Jimbo as Shirley Temple.
06:35All Stars 8.
06:36Well, hello, Ru.
06:40I won the hearts of America and the world.
06:43It took eight seasons of All Stars,
06:45but someone finally tap-danced across the Snatch Game set.
06:48Canada's Drag Race alum, Jimbo, took on the old Hollywood child star, Shirley Temple.
06:54With her face caked in white makeup and pink blush,
06:57and her head covered in ringlets,
06:59she looked more like Shirley Temple's deranged cousin who just graduated from clown school.
07:04I'm all grown up now.
07:05I'm 100 years old.
07:11In one, Shirley.
07:12Dog years.
07:14You tell me you're the bitch.
07:16Her baby girl voice and kooky mannerisms were as funny as they were nightmarish.
07:20But when she stopped the whole game to tap dance and flail wildly for a good bit,
07:25the other queens were finished.
07:27She had a perfect quip to top it all off too.
07:30Candy Muse nearly choked on her prop cigarette.
07:32I'm so cute.
07:34Who would believe I just shit myself?
07:39Number 24.
07:41Simone as Harriet Tubman.
07:43Season 13.
07:44Harriet is here.
07:47Oh, Harriet Tubman.
07:49Hi, Harriet Tubman.
07:51I see all this room full of white people up in there.
07:54I got a nerve.
07:55From her paranoid entrance to her fury at not being on the $20 bill,
07:59Simone took a lot of risks in bringing the historical abolitionist to the Snatch Game.
08:04It's hard to make references to the Underground Railroad funny,
08:07but she more than managed.
08:08Yes, she hit a stumbling block when she hilariously confused
08:12the black actress Jennifer Lewis with the white actress Jennifer Lawrence.
08:17Who would you have portray you in the movie of your life?
08:21Jennifer Lewis, maybe?
08:22Yes, Jennifer Lewis.
08:23You know the white people.
08:24They always think they can do every goddamn thing.
08:26So let her go.
08:26Well, Jennifer Lewis is not white.
08:30Jennifer Lewis, not Jennifer Lawrence.
08:33Most queens wouldn't have the comic skills to walk that one back.
08:36Simone, however, saved the moment and turned it around.
08:39If anything, it just made her performance so much more memorable.
08:43Put myself on a $100 bill.
08:44How about that, man?
08:46Harriet Tubman, she keeps it 100.
08:49Number 23.
08:50Raja as Deanna Vreeland and Madam, All Stars 7.
08:54Lady Bunny's my very old, old, old, old, old friend.
09:00Wooden teeth.
09:02Not a match, madam, but a very good answer.
09:05The double-stuffed snatch game on the all-winner season saw the queens taking on two different
09:10characters.
09:11Season 3 winner Raja made the bold choice of doing two makeup-heavy celebrities.
09:16The first was Madam, the acerbic grand dame puppeteered by ventriloquist Wayland Flowers.
09:22Her uncanny movements and foul mouth were a highlight of the first round.
09:26I just want to say, I'm not a fan of the way you talk.
09:30I just so happen to be wearing my summer diamonds today.
09:34You are?
09:35Absolutely.
09:36Summer diamonds and summer not.
09:40Her second character, Vogue editor Deanna Vreeland,
09:44was almost as eerie looking and even more completely removed from reality.
09:49She made us hang on every word and milked Vreeland's particular way of speaking for
09:53all it was worth.
09:54We'll never hear the phrase purple mittens the same way again.
09:58What inspires you now?
10:01Purple mittens.
10:07I'd say purple mittens.
10:10Number 22.
10:11Monet exchange as Maya Angelou.
10:13Season 10.
10:14Well RuPaul, I've written 17 books, 19 plays, 13 autobiographies and two hallmark cars.
10:22And it recognizes your phenomenal woman.
10:25She may be a legend, a poet and a scholar, but first and foremost,
10:29Maya Angelou stands on business.
10:31At least that's how Monet Exchange played her on season 10's Snatch Game.
10:36No one was safe.
10:37Even Mariah Carey caught astray and she wasn't there.
10:40Hello RuPaul.
10:41Do you know why the caged bird sings?
10:43I've always wanted to know.
10:44Why does the caged bird sing?
10:46Because Mariah Carey lost the key.
10:50Oh the shade.
10:51Monet played up Angelou's elegant and dignified way of speaking,
10:55which made her rhyming threats of violence against her competitors so much more elegant.
11:00If these hoes try to come for me, I surely will cut thee.
11:06I will not hesitate to put thou in a ditch because Maya Angelou ain't no punk bitch.
11:12Reacting to the shenanigans constantly going on around her,
11:15the queen was able to stay ahead of the others with humor that was quick,
11:18cutting and well-timed.
11:20Poor woman can barely speak English.
11:21What a disgusting.
11:24Like dust till I rise.
11:28Number 21.
11:29Gottmik as Paris Hilton, season 13.
11:32Hey Ru, how's it going?
11:34Just let me know when the cameras are rolling and we'll kill it.
11:36Well we've started, the cameras are rolling.
11:38Oh shit, that's so embarrassing.
11:41Sorry.
11:42Serving looks seemed to come naturally to the season 13 finalist.
11:46What really shocked everyone though, was Gottmik's true talent for comedy.
11:51What songs do you like to play when you're DJing?
11:53I honestly just press play and hope for the best.
11:58Playing socialite and reality star Paris Hilton,
12:01she came in hot with a great bit involving Paris' voice.
12:04She didn't let up for the rest of the snatch game.
12:06Last night Michelle Visage cheated on her vegan diet, she missed the taste of...
12:10I'm gonna stick with what I know here to be safe.
12:13And so I wrote huge cocks.
12:17What was so great about Mik, is that she found a way to make Paris funny,
12:21while signaling that there's more to her than meets the eye.
12:23It was smart and admiring, while still earning those sweet sweet RuPaul cackles.
12:29We're obsessed and it's so hot.
12:31You're so obsessed with me, it's everything.
12:33I kind of am obsessed with you.
12:35You're so hot.
12:37Number 20.
12:37Pandora Boxx as Carol Channing, season 2.
12:41Pandora Boxx's rendition of Carol Channing was the first introduction of the snatch game
12:46to the Drag Race audience.
12:47And this comedy queen's goofy gab was the perfect way to set the bar.
12:51Did I win?
12:52No, you didn't win.
12:53Actually, we want to see your answer.
12:55What did you fill in the blank with?
12:57Well, I said turkey legs.
12:59Turkey legs!
13:01What better introduction to snatch game than a portrayal of a well-meaning,
13:04but often left-field Broadway retiree?
13:07Channing was the queen of corny comedy in her day,
13:10and Pandora portrayed a character as lovable as it was clueless.
13:14We deliver limes and lemons to all the people around in the neighborhood.
13:18And raspberries.
13:20And raspberries.
13:21With daughtery, bewildered style,
13:23Pandora pulled out a performance of geriatric genius.
13:26Bob the Drag Queen later took up the character again for a win,
13:29but this rendition will always stay in our heart.
13:32Number 19.
13:34Stacey Lane Matthews as Monique, season 3.
13:37Stacey Lane Matthews was talked out of doing Anna Nicole Smith
13:41in favor of Monique from Precious.
13:43Precious!
13:46Precious!
13:47While her look was simple,
13:49Matthews nailed the frightening mood of the character right down to her cigarette.
13:53Her yelling for Precious behind the set easily sent us into giggle fits thanks to her anger.
13:59Uh-oh.
14:00Is Precious back there?
14:02She better be cooking me something to eat.
14:04Matthews amped up this threatening demeanor to laughably keep RuPaul from asking her questions.
14:09We were in stitches as she used one of her answers just to complain about her hunger.
14:13She shakes a chicken leg in my face because the bitch know I'm hungry.
14:18Bitch know it.
14:20The comic degree that Matthews honed in on this one role provided amazing fodder
14:24and allowed for brilliantly spiteful comebacks to her opponents.
14:28Number 18.
14:30Trinity the Tuck as Caitlyn Jenner, all-stars 4.
14:33Whether it was her jokes or her looks,
14:35Trinity the Tuck easily argued herself a chance to play Caitlyn Jenner.
14:39With her cheesy voice leading the unique character,
14:42Trinity had us cackling at her sheer indifference to finding a date.
14:45Are you looking for love?
14:47I don't know what I'm looking for.
14:49I'm looking for my glasses.
14:50I'm looking for a comfortable pair of shoes right now, Ruth.
14:54She had the most hilariously sad car comparison, which poked fun at her age.
14:59Well, this car has had a lot of miles, honey.
15:04But you know what?
15:05The engine's still running, so I'm ready to get on the road.
15:09You ready, girl?
15:10She was particularly biting to her colleagues
15:13as she cleverly roasted Valentina's drawn-out answers and Naomi Small's wig comments.
15:18My bathroom is the only place that I'll ever take my wig off in front of anybody.
15:23Just my reflection.
15:24I feel sorry for that mirror.
15:27All the jabs helped her secure a win,
15:29though her snarky rip at Valentina's exit speech was the cherry on top.
15:33Hurry up, sweetie, you're lost.
15:37Number 17.
15:38Sharon Needles as Michelle Visage.
15:40Season 4.
15:41Michelle Visage is here, hey.
15:44I might not be the biggest star here, but I got the biggest knockers, okay?
15:48RuPaul may have applauded Sharon for her bold choice of roasting Michelle for the snatch game,
15:53but it was a really sharp move on her part.
15:56Anyone who watches Drag Race knows just how much RuPaul loves a good Michelle read.
16:01Speaking of plastic surgery, you chose to do Michelle Visage.
16:06Sharon's over-the-top portrayal, coupled with her encyclopedic knowledge of
16:10ruined Michelle's early years, made for a side-stitching performance.
16:14And you used to carry a baseball bat before we would work Suzanne Barge's party.
16:19We'd make a buffalo nickel for it, and it was all we used for protection.
16:23It's clear that Sharon knows her audience, and knows who's handing out the trophies.
16:28Even if Michelle was a little miffed by the older lady performance,
16:31that judge can take a joke, and the pair have since made up.
16:34I thought it was brilliant. Keep doing it.
16:36I just want to say, you know, thank you all, and...
16:39Number 16.
16:40Aquaria as Melania Trump.
16:42Season 10.
16:43Melania Trump may have seemed like a choice for Aquaria,
16:46but she used the character to smartly mock the presidential family.
16:50Let's see what we got here.
16:52Oh!
16:53Oh, this is lovely.
16:55I hope it fits.
16:56Thank you so much.
16:57Her name card said Michelle Obama,
16:59to make a hysterical nod to Melania's plagiarism of her previous first lady.
17:04Aquaria also wittily alluded to the Trump family
17:07by calling Rue the name of ex-president Obama without a second thought.
17:11Let's go on down to the first lady of the United States of America, Melania Trump.
17:16Melania.
17:16Melania, Melania. Sorry.
17:18It's all right, Barack. No worries.
17:21Her ability to spin absurd lines about urine and to digs at Donald were priceless,
17:25and all the more so because of how casually she said it.
17:29I went with, uh, Russian whopper urine.
17:32Russian.
17:33This allowed her to spin her competitor's jokes into roasts at the president,
17:37and a show-stopping reference to his China commentary.
17:40No wonder why my husband's complaining about China all the time.
17:45Number 15.
17:46Alyssa Edwards as Joan Crawford.
17:48All Stars 2.
17:50Despite getting read to filth for her impersonation of Joan Crawford in the workroom,
17:54Alyssa Edwards insisted on continuing.
17:57I fought worse monsters for years in Hollywood.
18:00Her makeup and hair for the starlet were utterly ridiculous,
18:04and it gave her spooky looks around the room a laugh-inducing intensity.
18:08Alyssa hilariously reacted to every question as if she was attacked,
18:12and knocked us out by picking unrelated quotes of Crawford's.
18:15Wire hangers, Joan?
18:17No wire hangers ever!
18:21Her non sequiturs turned jabs against her into gags so baffling
18:26that even Detox broke character by giggling.
18:29It was a character way beyond Crawford that made no sense,
18:32and was all the more memorable for it.
18:34Well, that don't make no kind of sense, but it sure is entertaining.
18:38It's just...
18:39This ain't my first time.
18:41Yes, yes, at the where?
18:44At the Snatch Game.
18:46Number 14.
18:47Alexis Michelle as Liza Minnelli.
18:50Season 9.
18:51To honor her drag inspiration with love,
18:53Alexis Michelle became Liza Minnelli for the Snatch Game.
18:57She struck a funny bone in the workroom just saying her name and character,
19:00which had us and RuPaul crying with laughter.
19:03It's Liza!
19:07Finally!
19:08Finally!
19:08On stage, Alexis's excitement was hysterical,
19:12so her jump to catatonic joy was even more side-splitting.
19:16Her segues to her glory days were amusingly elaborate,
19:19and were constantly sold by her chipper charm.
19:22And her mention of her family's LGBTQ plus fans
19:25was actually funnier due to her warm but outdated lingo.
19:28With the added kicks, jazz hands, and grasps for the camera,
19:32Alexis disappeared into a Liza impression made of pure fun.
19:36Ru, I said that you can swap jazz hands!
19:40Can you show us your jazz hands?
19:46Number 13.
19:48Ginger Minj as Adele.
19:49Season 7.
19:51On Snatch Game, Ginger Minj brought Adele to life
19:54as a celebrity so famous that they're losing touch.
19:56Ginger had Ru losing it thanks to her laughable opening callbacks
20:00to Wheel of Fortune and Press Your Luck.
20:02Adele is here.
20:04Hey girl!
20:05Could I buy a vowel?
20:07What is that darling?
20:08No Annie!
20:10The frankness of her response to where she comes from
20:13upped the comedic punch of her otherwise silly answer.
20:16She would pile on joke after joke when she got the mic
20:19and slipped in a snappy meta comment on the fake props to fill time.
20:23It's a good answer but not a match darling.
20:25Well could I get a match please?
20:27It's a fake cigarette.
20:29Ginger covered so many comedic bases that she roasted
20:32Jaden Dior Fierce's Boring Raven on a confession cam
20:36by using Raven against her.
20:37Oh Jaden, I just got a vision.
20:40You might be lip syncing for your life tomorrow baby.
20:43Number 12.
20:44Gigi Good as Maria the Robot.
20:46Season 12.
20:48RuPaul was skeptical about the humor in a robot impersonation
20:51but Gigi Good believed in her take on the sentient machine.
20:54I understand your concern but I do not have the same concern.
20:57Okay all right.
20:58Gigi found lots of screwball energy in her mechanical face movements
21:02and the bungling with her cards was a fun detail to watch.
21:05She got wonderfully outlandish with Maria
21:08who is based on real-life robot Sophia
21:10by questioning the humans ordering her around and swearing out of nowhere.
21:14She's my sister bitch.
21:18Gigi infused a ridiculously lewd energy to Maria as well
21:22so computer parts suddenly sounded dirty.
21:24Plus the unexpected venom of her character
21:27turned a snapback to Jackie Cox into immediate comedy.
21:30By keeping everyone guessing what she'd do next,
21:32Gigi's robot was a laugh riot.
21:35Number 11.
21:36Kennedy Davenport as Little Richard.
21:38Season 7.
21:40Are you feeling a little more tooty or a little more fruity?
21:43A little more tooty baby.
21:46It came as a real shock that Kennedy would have the nerve
21:49to do a Little Richard impression
21:50after all the times Michelle read Queens on the Runway for boy drag.
21:54But it does take nerve
21:55and the stunt paid off with Kennedy snatching the win.
21:59Kennedy's snatch game had all the falsetto glam rock grit
22:02Little Richard was known for
22:03and the judges already knew she had that superstar diva attitude down.
22:08Dorothy blanks the tin man.
22:10She tightens the screws
22:12because we all love a tight screw.
22:18It doesn't hurt that the often flamboyant rock and roll originator
22:21had a proclivity for lipstick and accessories.
22:24Little Richard was a queen before Queens.
22:26Number 10.
22:27Tatiana as Britney Spears.
22:29Season 2.
22:30Britney Spears is here.
22:33On season 2, Tatiana's brainless pretty girl act
22:36gave us all Rebecca Glasscock flashbacks from season 1.
22:40But this snatched verisimilitude showed us all that Tati is someone with substance.
22:45She played Britney Spears so well it gave the guest judges goosebumps.
22:49But make no mistake, that performance was clever.
22:53Her kooky missteps and idiotic idiosyncrasies
22:56would put even the most popular reality stars to shame.
22:59While Derrick Barry's Britney played better with others,
23:02Tatiana really crafted a character rather than an impression.
23:05When I was fat, Kevin liked to tip me in what he liked to call his man butter.
23:10Man butter!
23:12It was really good.
23:13With her win in this challenge,
23:15everyone expected Tatiana to come back as strong and all-stars with Ariana Grande.
23:19But oops, she didn't do it again.
23:21Let's hear you sing to them.
23:25Huh.
23:26Number 9.
23:27Katya as Bjork.
23:28All-stars 2.
23:30To play the infamously unusual singer Bjork on Snatch Game,
23:33Katya donned a cartoonish mix of pink fabrics.
23:36Somehow she still had the gall to talk about Rue's look
23:39and wackily compare it to her own guts.
23:41Bjork is here.
23:42I love your suit.
23:44Thank you.
23:44It reminds me of the lining of my small intestine.
23:50Fundamental misunderstandings about biology had players and judges snickering,
23:54while her tendency to blow bubbles at people kept us entertained between answers.
23:59Don't mess up my hair, please.
24:00Sorry.
24:01Oh my god.
24:02This devolved into laughably bizarre card eating
24:05and even some utterly baffling bird sounds by the end.
24:11Plus, her eagerness to chirp at everyone helped generate jokes between everyone on stage.
24:16Along with her silly demand to eat hair and win bones,
24:19Katya's Bjork was an unforgettable weirdo.
24:22How many bones do I win?
24:23How many bones do you want?
24:26Number 8.
24:27Adore Delano as Anna Nicole Smith.
24:29Season 6.
24:31As a callback to her childhood idol,
24:33Adore Delano gave an intentionally sloppy Anna Nicole Smith in the Snatch Game.
24:37Her weird speech tendencies had RuPaul cackling
24:40and quickly shrieking as she tried to give out money.
24:43Want some money?
24:46Want a viper?
24:48I gotta say, death really becomes her.
24:52Adore's voice alone was enough to leave Rue gasping for air backstage.
24:56Her delivery was so erratic that we were in tears at her approach
24:59to straightforward answers,
25:01and then her insistence that she barely drank paid off the whole character.
25:05Well, I'm not really a drinker,
25:08but I've tasted vodka a couple of times in my life,
25:13and I like it by itself.
25:16Meanwhile, Adore's nod to Smith's reality show by yelling for Kim
25:20added more deranged character energy.
25:22Delano's fandom kept her schtick respectful
25:25and full of iconic details from Smith's past.
25:28That's a good answer, Anna Nicole.
25:30Kimmy!
25:33Number 7.
25:34Shea Coulee as Flava Flav.
25:36All Stars 5.
25:37Shea Coulee pushed the envelope doing male drag as public enemy musician Flava Flav,
25:42and in the Snatch Game of Love, no less.
25:44Shea's Flav leaned into the zaniness to hilariously explain
25:48that they were too out there to even concern themselves with gender.
25:52Gender is a construct, man, tear it apart.
25:54I'm stranger than fiction, but better than art.
25:58You know what I'm saying?
26:01All the lewd talk you'd expect from Flav
26:04was subverted into funny jokes about his clock and his cute puppies.
26:08Shea managed to make a comical rap
26:10just to explain their realization about Jeffrey Boyer Chapman's identity.
26:14Roses are red, buses is yellow.
26:18I just realized that you are a fella.
26:24Though Jujubee gave a series-best Eartha Kitt impression,
26:27Shea just packed in more jokes.
26:29Turn up the thermostat to a sensible 74.
26:34Through morphing Flav into a bizarrely modern man,
26:36Shea dazzled All Stars viewers and won Boyer Chapman's heart.
26:41Number 6.
26:42Bob the Drag Queen as Uzo Aduba and Carol Channing.
26:46Season 8.
26:47Bob the Drag Queen was the comedic powerhouse of Season 8,
26:50so of course she brought two characters to Snatch Game.
26:53You stay ready, you ain't got to get ready.
26:56Her Uzo Aduba emulated her Crazy Eyes role
26:59with hysterically intense attitude and goofy mannerisms
27:02for every camera cut to her.
27:04Bob even used her answer to humorously hit on the judges through a poem.
27:08Once a queen named Amon, remind me of the sun.
27:15Instead of her supermodel life, she can be my wife.
27:22Her swap to Carol Channing was priceless in itself.
27:26She butchered Uzo's name so badly it became a bit of its own.
27:29I'm sorry that I'm late, but Uzo Abubu left the stage
27:35and she asked me if I would fill in.
27:37With Shea in her confession cam to cap it off,
27:39Bob slayed every time she could talk here.
27:42Ruth seems to be throwing Naomi every bone she can find.
27:45Do you like a big clock yourself?
27:49But this dog won't catch.
27:51Number 5.
27:52Chad Michaels as Cher.
27:54Season 4.
27:55When Drag Race fans talk about Cher,
27:57the first queen that comes to mind is none other than the mother dust.
28:01Chad built a career around Cher impersonations,
28:04going so far as to even invest in plastic surgery to give a more authentic look.
28:08Those girls are real sleazy.
28:09They're scabies, crabs, and fleas.
28:12Don't move.
28:12With several gorgeous outfit changes and impeccable mannerisms,
28:16Chad brought a level of attention to detail
28:18that could only come from years of crazed idol worship.
28:22I don't know why they booked me on these chicken s*** gigs.
28:26No one doubted that Chad had the snatch game in the bag.
28:29But to be fair,
28:30Michaels had years of experience.
28:32Many, many years of experience.
28:35She may not have won that season,
28:37but she believed in life after love
28:39and ended up coming back to snatch the All-Star crown.
28:42Chad Michaels.
28:45Number 4.
28:46Alaska as Mae West.
28:48All-Stars 2.
28:49Alaska ranked high above the competition here.
28:52The key to a good snatch game isn't just about serving realness or cracking a few jokes.
28:57It's about responding to setups,
28:59keeping the jokes tight,
29:00and most of all, committing to the character.
29:02You know, I'm black by injection.
29:07Alaska had already proven her snatch game prowess
29:10with her Lady Bunny impersonation in Season 5.
29:12But this All-Stars performance was the peak of her game show career.
29:16And with Roxy Andrews impersonating Alaska in the same game,
29:19the real Alaska 5000 even got to give herself a read.
29:23If you're not wearing wigs, then you're not doing drugs.
29:28With lewd, irreverent Grace,
29:30Alaska called forth the spirit of the original Queen of Crass,
29:33putting her own campy spin on all of Mae West's sultry signature lines.
29:38Alaska blew the lit off of snatch game.
29:40But with a killer music career and millions of fans,
29:43did she really need to?
29:45You don't beat around the bush, do you, baby?
29:46I beat around the bush all the time.
29:48What are you talking about?
29:52Number 3.
29:53Bendela Krem as Maggie Smith.
29:55Season 6.
29:56Despite Bendela's sickly, sweet drag persona and her pretty pinup looks,
30:01she still flew a little under the radar during her season.
30:04It was only with this snatch game that her true brilliance shone through.
30:08Maggie Smith is with us.
30:10How are you, my dear?
30:11Well, past a certain age,
30:13one just feels fortunate to see the sunrise another day.
30:17Exhibiting extraordinary versatility,
30:20this queen switched from her bubbly babe Bendela persona
30:23to the proper Dame Maggie Smith as Downton Abbey's dowager countess of Grantham.
30:28Though Bendela's Paul Lynde certainly had great vintage references,
30:32Maggie Smith had the more memorable one-liners.
30:35With white gloves, cursive calligraphy,
30:37and a pretty snatched British accent to boot,
30:39Bendela nabbed a cunning win that pulled her ahead of her competitors,
30:43at least for a little while.
30:45I did think that it would be rather amusing
30:47if there were libation flavored with citrus.
30:53Can you imagine such a thing?
30:55Number 2.
30:56Bianca Del Rio as Judge Judy.
30:58Season 6.
30:59Did you forget you were coming to court today dressed like that?
31:02You look like a damn roll of scotch tape.
31:04Well, I thought it was-
31:05Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
31:07The courtroom was out of order over this impression.
31:12Who better to portray the notoriously strict TV judge than the queen of insult comedy?
31:17I agree and so does Officer Byrd.
31:20That is correct, Judge Judy.
31:22Not a match, Your Honor.
31:24Baloney!
31:25Bianca's no-nonsense shady ways align perfectly with Judge Judy's brand of daytime TV justice.
31:31Bianca keeps her Rolodex of hate perfectly organized and executed,
31:35always sticking to the facts and sticking to her guns.
31:37Uh, Ru, is this girl over there a robot?
31:40Why does she sound like that?
31:41Is somebody pushing a button?
31:42Can you talk normal?
31:44I'm talking!
31:45I'm talking!
31:45I think that's really rude.
31:47The beauty of her insulting art is the way Bianca still always managed to keep it fun,
31:52or at least entertaining, even when she was reading a girl for filth.
31:55This all came across perfectly in Snatch Game,
31:58where she wasted no time laying down the hammer of shade on other queens' messy portrayals.
32:03Beauty fades!
32:05It's forever!

32:23Number 1.
32:24Jinx Monsoon as Judy Garland
32:26Chris Hemsworth.
32:27Chris Hemsworth.
32:28His blank is bigger.
32:30We're looking for hammer.
32:31Broom, I don't know if I'm...
32:34I don't think I'm playing the game correctly.
32:37Not only was it the all-winners season,
32:39but Jinx Monsoon had arguably the best Snatch Game of all time in Season 5.
32:45Her Little Edie was an instant classic.
32:47Well, I don't know her personally, but she looks older than Mother Darling,
32:51so I said when she steps into the voting booth, she just seizures.
32:56Spelling?
32:57Seizure.
32:59She had a lot to live up to, and she did not disappoint.
33:03As Judy Garland, she stole the entire show.
33:06With bits involving an endless microphone cord,
33:09filthy language,
33:10and a hilarious callback to her original season,
33:12Jinx's performance was a masterclass from start to finish.
33:16I think I might have killed Judy Garland.
33:21And I want to say, Dave, if you're watching,
33:25you're not responsible, darling.
33:28It's all right.
33:29You're forgiven.
33:31Even her fellow queens couldn't keep it together
33:33as she closed out the challenge with a song.
33:35Do we have time for one more?
33:37Yes, of course we do.
33:44Who had your favorite Snatch Game ever?
33:47Let us know in the comments.
33:48My character's shoes.
33:49The character shoes that you used.
33:50I ain't got no character shoes.
33:51My name is James Brown.
