With Gigi showing no plans to change, it will be interesting to see whether her Snatch Game is a success or a failure. Moving on to Gigi Goode, who telling Ru of her plans to play Sophia Maria the Robot is strongly discouraged, because “robot” doesn’t exactly scream “comedy.” In situations like this, where Ru is adamant that a queen should abandon her idea, either she’s scared out of it, or if she’s not, she either slays the game, or bombs spectacularly. Ru continues his weekly stanning of Crystal Methyd’s “El DeBarge” mullet, and tries to convince Crystal to play him for the Snatch Game instead of android-esque pop star Poppy, and Crystal starts choking up in her confessional about how she doesn’t want to make a fool of herself in this challenge, and now she’s crying in front of Ru about how frustrated she is about constantly ending up in the Bottom, and gets a hug from Ru out of it. It’s one of the more subtle cuts seen on this show, since it thankfully doesn’t spell this out with footage from Season 11. Closet, “All you bitches come in here, and you think you’re Meryl Streep,” and the camera cuts to Miss Vanjie looking sheepish, as fans might recall that last season, she had a moment where she didn’t know who Meryl Streep was. One particular highlight of that walkthrough includes RuPaul telling Heidi N. When Ru walks through the Werk Room to go over the girls’ Snatch Game ideas, he brings Season 10 and 11 fan fave Vanessa Vanjie Matteo (star of the viral “Miss Vanjie” memes) to give them an idea of what not to do (her Danielle Bregoli was a mess). It’s known to be one of the most difficult challenges to get right, so a Snatch Game win or even Top Three performance is a feather in the cap of the queens who do well, and can make a compelling argument for the season win: it catapulted Season Five winner Jinkx Monsoon into a frontrunner status, and to date, Tyra Sanchez, Trixie Mattel and Yvie Oddly are the only winners who were not Top Three in their Snatch Games. This week there’s no Mini-Challenge, because as RuPaul is quick to announce, this week’s Maxi Challenge is Snatch Game! Everyone’s favourite episode of a season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Snatch Game challenges a queen’s celebrity impersonation and improv abilities. Aiden Zhane narrative that has dominated the first handful of episodes, and right out the gate, it appears as though the editors are foreshadowing a final Brita/Aiden faceoff in the lip sync this week. It’s very congruent with the all of the queens (especially Brita) vs. Closet who had to wipe Nicky Doll’s lipstick off the mirror), because she doesn’t understand why her scene partner Aiden Zhane wasn’t in the Bottom with her. Nina West has 733,000 followers on Instagram as of October 2020.The girls return to the Werk Room after Nicky Doll’s elimination, and Brita is shook that she was in the Bottom, even though she didn’t have to lip sync (it’s poor Heidi N. That money has been used to provide safe spaces for queer youth at the Kaleidoscope Youth Center and support Make-a-Wish efforts for the children of LGBTQIA families. The Nina West Foundation has raised over $2 million to support varied causes in Columbus, Ohio, and beyond. West deserves plenty of recognition for her charity work. You’re amazing, and I’m sad, but I’m excited for you.” “And I’m just really looking forward to watching you grow. “Just know how important you are to the bigger picture, and I’m so proud of you and your fundamental kindness and goodness,” the New York congresswoman told West in a video aired on Drag Race. She placed sixth overall but won the title of Miss Congeniality, as well as high praise from Rep. This fundraiser and drag performer with 18 years of experience went out during her Season 11 "Snatch Game" appearance, with great impersonations of both Harvey Fierstein and Jo Anne Worley. Gia Gunn has 635,000 followers on Instagram as of October 2020. Gunn also appears in the documentary series Follow Me about her life as a trans drag queen. She is the runner-up on Season 2 of The Switch Drag Race, the Chilean version of the show. Gunn, also from The Haus of Edwards drag family, finished in 10th place in Season 6, and in eighth place in All Stars 4. “Because of Drag Race, I was able to dive into my self-discovery and really discover my trans-ness,” Gunn told ET that year. Later that year, Season 6 queen Gia Gunn made history when she returned for All Stars 4 as a post-transition trans contestant. RuPaul has since apologized for those comments. In March 2018, RuPaul told The Guardian that the show would “probably not” cast someone who has transitioned, arguing that “drag loses its sense of danger and its sense of irony once it’s not men doing it.” Though RuPaul’s Drag Race has made itself known for inclusiveness when it comes to ethnicities and body types, its record on trans inclusiveness and representation has drawn controversy.
