Best “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Snatch Game Performance
Snatch Game! It’s the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” challenge that separates the contenders from the filler, and the corn from the cumin. Since Season 2 of the OG franchise, this challenge has provided some of the show's highest highs ("Is that my camera?") and lowest lows ("Snookie wants to smoosh smoosh") as literally hundreds of queens both domestic and international have attempted to impersonate celebrities with varying degrees of success. Now the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to determine the Best Snatch Game Performance of all time (at least, up until mid-2022, when we recorded this)! We’re talking Jinkx Monsoon as Judy Garland OR Little Edie; Bimini Bon Boulash as Katie Price; Ginger Minj as Adele; Kennedy Davenport as Little Richard; BenDeLaCreme as Paul Lynde OR Dame Maggie Smith; Jimbo as Joan Rivers; Jujubee as Eartha Kitt; Alaska as Mae West; Katya as Bjork; Chad Michaels as Cher; Tatianna as Britney Spears; and more!
Join host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Andrea Guerrero, Curtis Creekmore, Derek Mekita, Gary Jackson, and Jonny Minogue as they fill in the blanks and discuss the best Snatch Game performances in the history of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” RAAAAASPBERRIES!
