Snatch Game

Snatch Game is a main challenge, where contestants showcase their best celebrity impersonations in a game show setting. The Snatch Game challenge was first featured in Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race, where it became a popular fan favorite and was subsequently featured again in Seasons 3-12, and is a highly anticipated episode by viewers. It was subsequently featured in RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 1 and Drag Race Thailand.

Snatch Game is a parody of the classic TV show, "Match Game", which aired from 1962 to 1991, where contestants attempted to match celebrities' answers to "fill-in-the-blank" questions. The term snatch is also used as a vulgar slang term referring to a woman's vagina, hence the name Snatch Game, since the contestants are (almost always) impersonating women.

Rules of Snatch Game

1. RuPaul shouts out a random question from a deck of cards and tells it to one of the guest stars/celebrities. The Queens must listen to the question and fill in the blank with their own answer.

2. The Queens' answers must match the guest celebrities in order to gain points.

3. If a Queen gets a correct, matching answer, one of the celebrities gets a point.

4. At the end of the game, the points do not matter and have no effect on judging, since the Queens are judged by their impersonation and comedy.

Trivia

• The segment initially featured nine panelists (per the original Match Game format), while later seasons varied the number.
  • During the first season of All Stars, a segment called Gaff - In took place, in which the queens delivered celebrity impersonations by teams and had to write original comedy material for a Laugh-In style sketch show.
  • On the fourth season of All Stars, the Snatch Game segment was based on The Dating Game show.
• Season 6's Snatch Game episode is the highest rated RuPaul's Drag Race episode on IMDb with a score of 9.2/10.
• Celebrities who have been impersonated on Snatch Game will often comment on their impersonation, usually praising the queen who impersonated them. Judge Judy, Lady Bunny, Tamar Braxton, Carol Channing, and Nancy Grace have all had pre-taped messages aired on the show talking about how they enjoyed their impersonations. Amanda Lepore also had a pre-taped message but it was cut from the show.
  • Patricia Quinn, however, was not impressed with Adien Zane's portrayal of her and actually found it offensive.
• Tamar Braxton and Michelle Visage are the only celebrities to be impersonated on the show and later appear as guest celebrities on Snatch Game.
• Tamar Braxton, Raven-Symoné, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Kesha, Jenifer Lewis, Tiffany Pollard, Lisa Rinna and Leslie Jones are the only celebrities to have both been impersonated on the show and appeared as guest judges on the US version while Metinee "Lukkade" Kingpayom appeared as a guest judge and character in the Thai version.
  • Tamar Braxton and Metinee "Lukkade" Kingpayom are the only celebrities in the franchise to date to pull off the hat-trick of being impersonated on Snatch Game, appearing as a guest celebrity to answer questions on Snatch Game, and appearing as a guest judge on the runway.
    • While Tamar is the first to achieve this feat, having been impersonated in US Season 5 and appearing as a guest celebrity and judging for the first time in US Season 7, Lukkade is the first to accomplish it in a single episode, doing so in Drag Race Thailand Season 1.
      • Though Leslie Jones did not appear as one of the guest celebrities answering questions during the actual Snatch Game, she is the first celebrity on the US version and second in the overall franchise to appear as a guest judge and be impersonated in the same season.
• Though Kennedy Davenport is widely acknowledged to be the first queen to impersonate a male on Snatch Game, technically this accolade belongs to Jessica Wild, who impersonated RuPaul in Season 2's Snatch Game. Kennedy is also preceded by Alaska, who portrayed Lady Bunny in Season 5, and Violet Chachki and Max (who played Alyssa Edwards and Sharon Needles respectively) actually competed in the same Snatch Game as her.
  • Kennedy was, however, the first to impersonate a male who is not a drag queen.
  • Thorgy Thor, Roxxxy Andrews, Aja, Nina Bo'Nina Brown, Trixie Mattel, BenDeLaCreme, Nina West, Sum Ting Wong, The Vivienne and Widow Von'Du have since all impersonated males in Snatch Game.
    • Out of these queens, only Kennedy Davenport, Thorgy Thor, BenDeLaCreme, Sum Ting Wong, The Vivienne and Widow Von'Du impersonated a male who is not a drag queen.
      • Nina West technically falls into this category since Harvey Fierstein is an actor and not a drag queen, but she portrayed him in female drag (since Fierstein is well-known for playing 'butch' female characters like Edna Turnblad in the musical Hairspray).
    • Kim Chi portrayed a male character, but as a gender-bent version as 'Kimmy Jong-un' (the 'sister' of the eponymous North Korean leader). This also technically makes her the first queen to not impersonate a real person.
    • Out of all of these queens, Kennedy Davenport, BenDeLaCreme and The Vivienne won for their respective impressions (though interestingly enough, they all shared joint wins with other female-impersonating contestants).
    • Max, Roxxxy Andrews, Trixie Mattel and Sum Ting Wong are the only two queens to place in the bottom after impersonating a male celebrity. However, only Max and Sum Ting Wong were eliminated.
    • Widow Von'Du is the second queen, after Nina West, to portray both a male and female celebrity in the same Snatch Game.
• Sonique was the first queen ever eliminated on a Snatch Game episode.
• Season 2 is the only season where both the queen (Sahara Davenport) and the celebrity they impersonated on Snatch Game (Whitney Houston) have passed away since the episode was aired.
  • The only other celebrities that have passed away since they were impersonated on Snatch Game are Carol Channing, Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin and Big Ang. Any other deceased celebrities that have been portrayed (e.g. Anna Nicole Smith, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson etc.) had already died prior to their respective impressions.
• Only three queens were ever immune from elimination in Snatch Game prior to competing in it. These were Tyra Sanchez, Manila Luzon and Alyssa Edwards.
  • The latter became the final queen to ever win immunity on RuPaul's Drag Race, due to her performance as Katy Perry being considered one of the worst in Snatch Game herstory (for which she was famously forced by Ru to tweet an apology to Perry 1).
• Season 7 was the first regular season to have two winners in Snatch Game.
• Season 8's guest celebrities, Gigi Hadid and Chanel Iman, apparently gave such poor answers to Ru's questions that he angrily stormed off set at one point to scold the producers for not preparing them better.
• Bob The Drag Queen is the first queen to have impersonated two characters in one Snatch Game, playing Uzo Aduba and Carol Channing in Season 8.
• Derrick Barry, Kenya Michaels, Trixie Mattel, Petchra, JAJA, Asia O'Hara, and Valentina are the only queens to impersonate celebrities who had already been impersonated and do worse in the challenge than the queen who originally did them.
• Kim Chi was the first queen to portray a fictional character (playing 'Kimmy Jong-un'), though said character's likeness was based upon the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. She has since been followed by Gigi Goode, who portrayed Sophia (as 'Maria the Robot').
• Cher was the first celebrity to be impersonated in back-to-back seasons, being played by Delta Work in US Season 3 and Chad Michaels in US Season 4. She has since been joined by:
  • Nancy Grace (Acid Betty - Season 8, Detox - All Stars 2)
  • Maya Angelou (Chi Chi DeVayne - All Stars 3, Monet X Change - Season 10)
  • Tiffany Haddish (Monique Heart - All Stars 4, A'keria C. Davenport - Season 11)
• With the exception of Tyra Sanchez, Bob The Drag Queen, and Aquaria, every season winner sat in the same row on the Snatch Game panel.
• Latrice Royale and Manila Luzon are the queens with most appearances on Snatch Game / Gaff-In, with three times each.
• Out of the 28 queens who competed in Snatch Game /Gaff-In more than once, Tatianna and Kennedy Davenport hold the record for biggest difference in placement, going from winning their first Snatch Game to being in the bottom during their second one. However, Tatianna was eliminated in her second challenge.
• Out of the 26 queens who competed in Snatch Game /Gaff-In more than once, Jujubee, Detox, Gia Gunn, and Latrice Royale are the only queens to land in the bottom twice.
  • Gia Gunn became the first queen ever to be eliminated twice in Snatch Game.

• Born in 1893, Mae West is the oldest celebrity ever impersonated in Snatch Game, with the youngest one being Blue Ivy Carter, at 6 years old.
• Nancy Grace, Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse and Julia Child are the only celebrities impersonated twice whose both of the impersonators landed in the bottom for their poor performances.
• Britney Spears, Carol Channing and Charo are the only celebrities impersonated twice where both of the impersonators were in the top placements for their good performances.
• BenDeLaCreme is the only queen to win Snatch Game twice, winning the challenge as Maggie Smith in Season 6 and as Paul Lynde in All Stars 3 where she tied with Shangela's Jenifer Lewis.
• Asia O' Hara and The Vixen are the first queens to portray a parent-child relationship on Snatch Game with Asia playing Beyonce and The Vixen playing her daughter Blue Ivy.
• Kristin Chenoweth has been the only celebrity to participate as a panelist in Snatch Game.
  • A miniature version of Snatch Game was played in the spin-off Secret Celebrity Drag Race, marking the first time celebrities participated in-drag and impersonating other celebrities.
• Bob The Drag Queen, Jinkx Monsoon, Alaska and Aquaria are the only season winners to win the Snatch Game
• Tyra Sanchez, Violet Chachki, Trixie Mattel, Monét X Change, & Yvie Oddly are the only season winners to not score high or win their Snatch Game.
  • Trixie Mattel and Yvie Oddly are the only season winners to have landed in the bottom during the Snatch Game episode.
  • Yvie Oddly is the only winner to lip-sync for her life in a Snatch Game episode.
• Stacy Layne Matthews, Alexis Michelle, and Silky Nutmeg Ganache are the only queens to won Snatch Game and neither won their seasons nor competed on a season of All Stars.
• The smallest group of contestants participating in a round of Snatch Game is 5, which happened in Drag Race Thailand Season 2.
  • If counting spin-offs, the Secret Celebrity Drag Race edition of the American franchise featured only three competing contestants, four if including guest mentor Bob the Drag Queen, who sat in with the celebrity contestants.
• Tormai is the the first queen to win Snatch Game yet be sent home on the same day.
• Despite Yara Sofia’s impression of Amy Winehouse in Season 3 placing low at the time, Michelle Visage retrospectively called it a great performance during the Snatch Game episode of Season 9.
• Nicki Minaj, Amy Winehouse, Julia Child and Cardi B are the only celebrities to be impersonated on more than one iteration of the franchise, the first two and fourth have been represented in the Thai version, while the third in the UK versions.
• Season 11 was the first season where nobody was eliminated in a Snatch Game episode and the second season (after All Stars 3) where both season's winner and runner-up placed in the bottom for Snatch Game.
• Baga Chipz and The Vivienne are the first joint winners of Snatch Game on a UK season, as well as the first UK winners overall.
• Widow Von'Du is both the first queen to portray a couple and both a living and deceased celebrity in the same Snatch Game (Ike and Tina Turner).
• Gigi Goode is the first queen to portray (and win) as a non-human celebrity, playing Sophia the Robot in Season 12.
• Kim Chi, Chi Chi DeVayne and Gigi Goode are the only three queens whose Snatch Game characters had different names to the celebrities that they were actually playing (although Chi Chi's was not intentional; she had merely misspelled Maya Angelou as 'Mya Angelou).
• Dahlia Sin featured in the logo for Season 12's Snatch Game, making her the first previously-eliminated queen to do so.
