RuPaul’s Drag Race RuCap: Night of 100 Mehdonnas

by David Baxter

It’s time for everyone’s favorite game, Snatch Game!!!!! It’s the night we’ve all been waiting for!!! This better not be boring, as we’ve already sat through a boring Snatch Game before!!!

Derrick and Bob are arguing and Derrick just doesn’t get it. At all. This seems to be a thing this season. It’s not that Derrick is stupid but for some reason, some of these critiques, bitchy or not, just go in one ear and out the other.

RuPaul announces the Snatch Game, but uses a ton of Madonna puns. Why? We’ll find out. Betty’s decided to be Nancy Grace, which seems like it could be a good choice. Robbie is going to be Diana Vreeland, and I give her credit for making a choice and sticking with it. She talks a lot about the other queens from Seattle and pressure to perform, and … no. No one’s thinking that about you.

Naomi is going to be Whoopi Goldberg in The Color Purple. Bob can’t decide between Crazy Eyes, Whoopi in Sister Act, or Carol Channing. Naomi rethinks her idea. It could have been a night of 1000 Whoopis, though, you don’t want to be compared to Bob. So, plan B. ChiChi’s decided on Eartha Kitt, despite knowing nothing about Eartha Kitt. Buckle up folks, this is going south, REALLY fast. I hope we all have our passports!! Ru convinces Derrick to not do his terrible Shocantel Brown, and just stick with Britney.

The final line up is Thorgy as Michael Jackson, Kim Chi as Kimmy Jong Un (Kim Jong Il’s “sister”), Acid Betty as Nancy Grace, Robbie Turner as Diana Vreeland, Naomi Smalls as New York, ChiChi as Eartha Kitt, Derrick as Britney, and Bob as, first, Uzo Aduba, then Carol Channing. Folks, it’s meh. Very meh. Thorgy would have been just safe in a past season, and Bob would have been WAY too frenetic. Everyone else was terrible. Why? I have no clue. Guys, this is season 8. We can talk about if we need to retire Snatch Game, sure, but that doesn’t mean be terrible!!!

Afterwards, Betty talks about being an outcast, and Bob and Naomi discuss growing up black. Naomi was adopted by white parents and Bob grew up in the black community.

The runway is Madonna themed and we open up with four different kimonos, which seems like producer interference. I have no other explanation for it.

The judges hate everything and everyone who isn’t Bob. Betty and Naomi are up for elimination and Naomi wins, mainly because she’s not constricted by a fake pregnancy pad. Acid Betty goes home. I have no clue what’s going on. Did we suddenly end up back in season 7? I’m confused. Hold me.

    You took the words out of my mouth. I said on my Instagram yesterday that Naomi belonged in season 7. She is beautiful but doesn’t have the talent of Acid Betty. And what was Betty to do she couldn’t move in the most creative Madonna outfit out there.
