The Impersonation Challenge is a challenge where the contestants showcase their best celebrity impersonations in a game show setting. The funniest and most accurate impersonation wins the challenge.
Similarly to how the original Snatch Game is a parody of the classic TV show Match Game, the impersonation challenge in La Más Draga parodies popular TV shows.

Impersonated Judges[]
Trivia[]
- Liza Zan Zuzzi has been the only contestant to win the Impersonation Challenge and reach the finale.
- Iviza Lioza and Mista Boo were notably the first pair of contestants to portray the same character in the same episode.
- Interestingly, as shown on Tú Las Traes, StupiDrag had also planned to impersonate María Félix, just like Madison. Had she reached the episode, this would've resulted in two pairs of contestants repeating celebrities on the very first instance of the challenge.[1]
- Unlike in Drag Race, contestants in La Más Draga have regularly opted for impersonating fictional characters rather than celebrities.
- In fact, four out of the six winners of this challenge impersonated fictional characters.
- During an exclusive livestream held on April 4, 2023, the producers disclosed that they were considering scrapping this challenge entirely for the sixth season due to the lukewarm reception it received across the seasons.[2]
- On that same stream, a poll was held for the members to vote if they wished for the challenge to return or not, with the winning option being the latter. The producers then announced that, indeed, the challenge would be scrapped.[2]
- As all of this occured after the contestants for the season had already been contacted and given the list of challenges, this was likely the reason for the challenge to still return but as a scaled-down mini challenge.
- Not taking into consideration fictional characters nor the celebrities behind them, the oldest celebrity to have been impersonated in this challenge is Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, born in 1648. Inversely, the youngest is Luna Gil, born in 1996.
- Born in 1947, Paquita la del Barrio is currently the oldest living celebrity to have been featured in this challenge.
- While later seasons had their corresponding host moderating the main challenge, the first iteration of the challenge had Ricky Lips hosting it instead of Karla Díaz.
