Snatch Game

Snatch Game is a challenge held each season (starting with the second)[1] of the American reality competition television series RuPaul's Drag Race, as well as its all-star and spin-off series RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, Drag Race Thailand, RuPaul's Drag Race UK, RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race, and Canada's Drag Race.[2] The challenge is a parody of the game show Match Game (known as Blankety Blanks in Australia and Blankety Blank in the UK), except in seasons four and five of All Stars, when the format was changed to parody the game show The Dating Game under the name Snatch Game of Love. The challenge tests the contestants' skills at celebrity impersonation and improvisational comedy. It is normally staged approximately halfway through the season, although the number of contestants still in the race at the time of a Snatch Game challenge may vary from season to season.

Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Eartha Kitt are the most impersonated celebrities on "Snatch Game", a frequent challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race and its spin-offs, having been portrayed three times each.

Snatch Game is commonly perceived as one of the most important and memorable challenges of the show and, in RuPaul's own words, the challenge separates "the basic bitches from the fierce-ass queens."[3] It is rare, although not unprecedented, for a queen to win the entire season without having placed at least high in the Snatch Game challenge: across 19 iterations of the game to date, only three contestants have ever won the season after not receiving any critiques (i.e. being safe) in the Snatch Game episode, and only three contestants have ever won a season after being placed in the bottom for their Snatch Game performance.

Due to the show's format, impersonated celebrities are usually female, although there have been several instances of contestants choosing male celebrities whose public images were sufficiently flamboyant to fit in with a drag aesthetic;[4] two contestants chose to create the character of male public figures' fictional twin sisters, and several contestants have chosen to impersonate other people directly associated with the show, such as other past or present contestants, Michelle Visage or even RuPaul himself.[5] For copyright reasons, queens cannot officially choose film or television characters,[6] although some have selected real-world actresses while actually basing their portrayal on one of the celebrity's film or television performances rather than her real-world personality.[4]

Season 4: Snatch Game of Love

Manila Luzon and Trinity the Tuck won the challenge in season 4 as Barbra Streisand (left, pictured in 2013) and Caitlyn Jenner (right, pictured in 2015), respectively.

For the fourth season's installment, the format of the challenge was changed and was titled "Snatch Game of Love". Instead of parodying the television show Match Game as in previous seasons, this installment parodied the television show The Dating Game. Gus Kenworthy and Keiynan Lonsdale played as bachelors looking for love, and each interviewed four celebrity contestants (who were actually the queens doing celebrity impersonations). The bachelors could not see the celebrities as they were separated by a wall. After reading a series of questions and hearing their responses, each bachelor selected the celebrity of his choice. Kenworthy chose Jenner (portrayed by Trinity the Tuck) and Lonsdale chose Streisand (portrayed by Manila Luzon). Kenworthy and Lonsdale served as guest judges during the main stage competition later in the episode, where Trinity and Manila were named the top two All Stars of the week. After lipsyncing for their legacy Manila was declared the winner of the episode, and she eliminated Gia Gunn, making her the first contestant to be twice eliminated due to a Snatch Game performance.[20][21]

The fifth season of All Stars continued the Snatch Game of Love format from season 4, with celebrity guest judges Tommy Dorfman and Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman portraying this year's bachelors. Dorfman chose Walter Mercado (played by Alexis Mateo) and Bowyer-Chapman chose Flavor Flav (played by Shea Couleé). On the main stage, Couleé was named the winner of the challenge and owing to a twist in the judging format, all 5 of the other contestants were up for elimination, in spite of Jujubee and Alexis receiving high critiques. India Ferrah was eliminated for her portrayal of Jeffree Star.

Reception

The "Snatch Game" challenge has been called the most signature challenge on the show.[24] Kevin O'Keeffe from Into discusses that the challenge isn't only about the celebrity impersonation and RuPaul looks for accuracy, humor and the idea of the character. He also states that the challenge tests a lot of different skills, such as the queens' ability to put on a different look from their signature one, and also their ability to be "funny on a dime".[25] RuPaul states each year, as the challenge is introduced, that the cardinal rule of the challenge is to make him laugh.[5]

Writing for Vulture, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers state that "Snatch Game" is "the mother of all comedy challenges on a reality show" despite the varied results over the years.[15] On a more critical reception of the challenge, Josh Lee, for PopBuzz, argues that while the annual challenge has given viewers some of the best moments from RuPaul's Drag Race, it is starting to feel stale overall. He comments that recent celebrity impersonations in the challenge have been lackluster and the show should adapt and retire "Snatch Game" in future seasons of the series.[26]
