It’s Friday night and that means a mini RuPaul’s Drag Race Recap of sorts. And it is Snatch Game! my favorite episode of the season. I am STILL pissed that RuPaul inexplicably told Kandy Muse to sashay away and then just said, oh nevermind you can stay. Kandy Muse annoys the holy piss out of me. Also, eight people would have been better for Snatch Game. But it is what it is. I just think she is getting special treatment and a lot of air time and that annoys me. I was kind of shocked that Rosé won. But it is what it is.
It’s Snatch Game!
The mini-challenge was kind of lame. It was a weird punk rock band kind of thing. They had to make their own drag outfits using tights and leggings and audition for the “Panty Ho” rock band. What we learned is that Tina Burner has a very sexy ass. And that won her the competition. The whole mini challenge scene was like two minutes. So even post production knew it was ridiculous.

Then Rupaul announces The Snatch Game and everyone is excited. Especially me. This is almost always the best episode of the season. Kandy Muse is going to be Patrick Starr. He’s a drag makeup artist with 4.4 million followers including Kandi Burruss, Sonja Morgan and Katie from Vanderpump Rules. This is not usually the kind of “celebrity” we see on Snatch Game, but okay. Utica is doing Bob Ross. I love Utica. But, RuPaul thinks Bob Ross is too intellectual to be funny. Dude, Bob Ross is hysterical. Gottmik is Paris Hilton. Rosé is Mary Queen of Scots. Of course Kandy Muse has not idea who that is. Did I mention how annoying Kandy Muse is? I.JUST.CAN’T.
RuPaul Tries To Guide The Queens On Their Decisions.
Elliott with two tts is Blanche Devereaux. Kandy Iamnotamused says that is biting off too much. RuPaul says he is a Golden Girls expert and this could be a mistake. Elliott with two ts says he is up to the challenge. I hope he wins. Symone is Harriet Tubman. That could be an issue. It doesn’t seem appropriate. RuPaul really hates the Bob Ross idea of Utica’s. I think she will nail it. Tina Burner is doing Richard Simmons. I swear Kandy Muse gets as much screen time as Rupaul. Who is she sucking off? It’s annoying. Olivia Lux is Tabitha Brown who is apparently some sort of vegan chef. RuPaul no likey this choice either.

And it is time to start the show. Symone starts strong as Harriet Tubman. Gottmik is great already as Paris Hilton. Rosé is great as Mary Queen of Scots. Tina Burner is great as Richard Simmons. Elliott with two ts is not off to a good start. Utica sadly is not starting off good either, sadly. GotMikk is killing it as Paris Hilton. I love Utica. Elliott is dying as Blanche Devereaux. I like Symone as Harriet Tubman. Elliott will probably go home tonight. Utica is in danger too, sadly. Gottmik is winning. AGAIN. Also sadly, Olivia Lux is also sucking.
It’s Time To Be Judged
As the queens prepare for judgment. Denali shares that his family has never seen him perform. They don’t see it as an artform. That’s so sad. I love Denali. Did I miss what the theme was for this final runway? I love Utica but I feel like RuPaul doesn’t get her. Symone looks stunning. I hate to admit it but Kandy Muse looked great on her final walk. Symone, Tina Burner and Kandi Muse are all safe. Olivia is sadly in the bottom with Utica and Elliott with two ts. The top three were Rosé, Denali and Gottmik. I think we might be losing Elliott. They love Denali. I literally can’t remember who she was.Oh she was the Queer Eye guy. I wasn’t into it.

BTW if you misses last week it was all about how they dealt with COVID-19 and who had it. It was very interesting. Gottmik is the winner. I love Gottmik. Her Paris Hilton was spot on. And apparently she does Paris’s makeup from time to time. Utica and Elliott with two ts and up for elimination. I really want Utica to win this. Unless we can just send home Kandy Muse. Utica has some LEGS! YES! SHE STAYS. Sadly, Elliott with two ts is sent packing. 🙁 I’ll miss her. These queens don’t get my girl Utica. I love Untucked. If I were a drag queen, I’d be the misunderstood Utica.
More Untucked Drama
Olivia is pissed that Utica said she would be in the bottom and she was. I don’t understand why this is an issue. Apparently, the queens think that Utica is one way on camera and another way off camera. I’m still going to love her anyway. Utica is just struggling to fit in. Ts Madison shows up. She is kind to everyone. I have no idea who she is but she has the biggest ass I have ever seen in my life. Is that shit real? Once again I have to say that when I was in my prime a big ass was NOT a good thing. WTF is going on in dis world? (Said in my Yolanda Hadid voice).

There was a commercial for makeup tutorials on the VH1 youtube/app. And it occurred to me that I may never wear makeup again. I just don’t give a flying fuck anymore. I’m not trying to attract dick. The dick comes with a “man” and I just don’t want the drama anymore. I am just fine without all that. Also, I am leaving this episode slightly hating Kandy Muse less. But that bitch better not win. It feels sort of rigged in that direction.
WHY so much air time for Kandy? The runway category was fascinators and Kandy’s looked crafty. And her silouette is always the same. I’m just over her as the narrator , I’m tired of hearing her say the same tired stuff every week and I want to hear from the other queens! Also, I had no idea who her character was. Neither did my daughter. So, we stopped and she Googled Patrick Star. When you do this, you get a whole lot of Patrick the pink starfish from Sponge Bob images and Kandy was all in pink as Patrick Starr. The existence of Jeffrey Starr made things even more complicated for us, but after seeing Kandy perform Kandy whilst saying she was being Patrick Starr, I thought she could have actually WON the Snatch Game if she’d played around with morphing the 3 characters and playing off how parts of the audience won’t necessarily know who IG artists etc are. But Kandy isn’t smart. Unpopular opinion, I didn’t think Paris was much of a stretch for Gottmik, though she truly did a superb job, I feel like Gottmik has lived on a diet of Simple Life reruns all her life.
It’s Season 13. The queens know the huge deal Snatch Game is now. Ru even mentioned this on the panel. There is no excuse anymore for half baked concepts and bad ideas (Utica and Elliott). Symone nailed it when she said if you’re more invested in teaching the audience about someone you are obsessed with, there’s a real risk the funny gets lost. Overall, I thought it was a successful Snatch Game. I was looking for a funnier Richard Simmons, though.
Simone is everything!!!! And poor Kandy, I do think she’ll eventually become larger than life personality wise without being just loud and obnoxious.
I was underwhelmed with this season’s snatch game. All contestants should be prepared with developed characters. They hardly interacted with each other at all. Which is usually a great sign of being comfortable with Ru and themselves. Kandy I thought was pretty much herself. Tina looked like signature Tina, while referencing exercises. Symone cursed too much. To me that was a sign of weakness. Denali and Rosé were very good but Gottmik deserved the win. I agree that Olivia, Utica and Eliott with two TT’s were bottom. I felt like it should have been a triple Lip Sync even if only one person went home.
I also don’t like Kandy narrating the season. She talks too much as is in the workroom. I don’t know if it’s bc they are within the confines of the pandemic but this season lacks the flavors past seasons had, amongst the girls. Even Michelle Visage is not coming for them like she usually does. Tina Burner and Kandy Muse is getting away with looks that others would have gotten roasted on in the past.
The snatch game always sucks.
I agree with you on Kandy Muse. She reminds me of Josh from BB 19.
Me too!!!!! Except I LOVE JOSH.
For me, I think it’s the shape of their lips and how their mouth moves when they speak. I didn’t like him that much on BB, but I really like him on the Challenge.
do you follow the challenge because on there he is just whining all the time and being paranoid,
i kinda liked him on his first season of the challenge because he valued friendship and was betrayed by paulie and yes he seemed like a nice guy but during his second season he just lost it and it only got worse.
As for kandy, ru favours miss cracker the same way, it smells fishy lol, she’ll end up winning some challenges but wont take the crown, he did the same with kameron michaels too. cracker and michaels have poor social skills, and are up their own asses too much. me no like lol
I have noticed they sound exactly the same!
My ranking/thoughts last night:
Simone was robbed… Again. She should have been top 2 with Gottmik.
Rose & Denali safe. Even Tina this week.
All the rest bottom.
It feels like they are padding Gottmik resume for the win.
T S Madison has an AMAZING show on WE TV on Thursdays. She’s funny. You should check out her YouTube channel. Very Funny Lady (Leighann Lord).
I’m not a Utica fan. And Kandy is starting to grow on me. Love everything Simone. Elliot with 2 T’s very pretty good. She adapted well to feed back.
On Twitter Olivia said her 1st choice was Rachel Dolezal but production would not let her do it. That would have been hilarious and given Gottmik a run for their money. I wonder if not having a lot of people there while filming impacted performances overall. It has to be difficult to not get the larger reaction, good or bad, from people in the room and feeding on that.
