Rupaul's drag race uk snatch game movie#

Juju is….contractually obligated to be there? I don’t think she has her heart in it. Her behavior in the werkroom when she doesn’t get what she wants isn’t pleasant either. Baga is one note, especially during runways. I’m hoping it’ll be Blu, but she’s been overlooked on runway and challenges. Out of the remaining queens, I don’t know who’ll win. Jimbo would’ve done well because comedy is Jimbo’s forte. Just like Pangina didn’t do well in the snatch game. Jimbo just didn’t do well in a challenge. Judges were expecting more because Jimbo usually pulls unexpected stunts during things as is her style, here she didn’t. Even she admitted her being in the bottom last week was justified because she could’ve brought more to the role. Doesn’t mean she’s a worse Queen than anyone else, by the way. Her performance specialties and talents lie elsewhere. But Jimbo’s specialty isn’t lipsyncing in the first place and she knows that. Are you going to blame each time on the choice of song? Maybe. Even the other queens called her out for possibly throwing a lipsync.Īs far as Jimbo’s lipsync ability, all the times she had to do it, weren’t that great. Maybe she didn’t want to win so as not to have to pick who to send home or maybe there are other reasons. She didn’t even bother changing outfits for the lipsyncs she was a top at. Yeah, depending on song any Queen can come out on top, am not disagreeing there. On the runway, category is “Luck Be a Lady.” Blu kicks things off with a high-fashion leprechaun look Janey comes equipped with an entire roulette wheel Juju diverts from her norm in a skin-tight, shiny dress that serves “solar-powered lucky kitty” Mo dazzles in a flamingo-inspired costume that quite literally lights up the runway Baga attempts a basic Irish look, which Michelle accurately likens to Chucky and Pangina brings everyone some luck in a slot-machine costume that actually spits out coins. (Unless you’re Ru, who laughs - nay, howls - at pretty much anything. She gives us one “I don’t know her,” which is fun, but it’s largely a laugh-free performance. And it’s a good thing, because the jokes are simply not there. If you blur your vision a little, she is Carey.

Pangina Heals as Mariah Carey | As far as visuals, no one nails this assignment like Pangina. She’s really just playing a heightened version of herself, which is probably why Ru suggests the character in the first place. Mo Heart as Billy Porter | This one’s fine. Yet it somehow… works? For example, it’s weird that Juju doesn’t know “Cher” is short for “Cherilyn,” but it’s also genius of her to suggest that her stage name is merely short for “Cher-cuterie.” It’s not great, but based on how poorly Juju has been competing this far, I consider this to be a step up. Rather than attempt a genuine impression of Cher, Juju plays up how little she actually knows about the icon’s career. Jujubee as Cher | We all know that Ru loves a “stupid” performance, and this is definitely that. (Seriously, how is “more followers” her response to “What is quintessentially British?”) Unfortunately, there is nary a giggle to be found in this performance - only awkward answers. Sure, the look is there, but some jokes would also be nice. Janey Jacké as James Charles | Speaking of Janey… yikes. Evil? Brilliant, if only for the joke about Janey needing a time machine to take back all of her bad jokes. And the late-game transformation into Dr. It’s so good, I don’t even care when she breaks the fourth wall to reveal that she isn’t the “real” Mike Myers.

Blu has clearly seen every Austin Powers movie multiple times, because she has those catchphrases at the ready.

I’m not obsessed with this performance, but I appreciate it.īlu Hydrangea as Austin Powers/Dr. I also appreciate an arc in Snatch Game, so I like that she finishes the book by the end and totally turns on Ru. The look is there, even if the accent isn’t, and the strong point of view remains consistent. That said, I’m relatively familiar with the character Baga is going for, and I feel like she kind of nails it. OK, time to get real about these performances:īaga Chipz as Misery‘s Annie Wilkes | Dark confession: I’ve never seen Misery. This family format is a little better than Snatch Game of Love, but not much better.)

(Side note: Why does Drag Race insist on messing with perfection? Just give us classic Snatch Game. Moving on… RuPaul announces that this week’s maxi challenge will divide the queens into teams of two for Snatch Game: Family Edition, led by Michelle Visage and special guest Katie Price. And even Jujubee admits, “That’s fair.” (BIG. “The judges kept on saying how much they didn’t feel you there and didn’t see the Juju they know,” she explains. Pangina’s nonsense becomes especially awkward when Janey Jacké reveals that she picked Jujubee’s lipstick. The Bachelor Premiere Recap: Is Joey’s Perfect Love Match in the Cards?
