00:00So proud of you. I'm so, so excited to see that you brought T.S. Madison to life.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:08And today, we're counting down our picks for the most notable responses from real-life figures
00:12who were impersonated on RuPaul's Drag Race's most famous maxi challenge, The Snatch Game.
00:17I absolutely love Amanda. She is like my goddess.
00:23Number 30. Jasmine Masters, Nina Bonina Brown.
00:27What brings you back to Drag Race?
00:30I got something to say.
00:31I bet you do.
00:33Season 9's Nina Bonina Brown wasn't the first to portray another Drag Race queen on The Snatch Game,
00:39but she remains one of the most memorable.
00:41Her impression of Season 7 contestant Jasmine Masters nailed the queen's signature exasperation
00:46and left RuPaul in stitches.
00:48Jasmine Masters. Jasmine, what season were you on Drag Race?
00:52Does it matter? Did I win?
00:55Although Alexis Michelle ultimately won, Nina still got strong praise from the judges.
01:00However, Jasmine herself wasn't exactly pleased.
01:03In a video uploaded to her YouTube, Jasmine called the impression, quote, cute, but criticized
01:09Nina's look as, quote, horrible, and noted that several of her famous catchphrases weren't used.
01:14I had so much material. Just that part.
01:17Don't take no shade, coin thotters. All the material that could have been used, why it wasn't even used?
01:23Then, on T.S. Madison's Let Me Pick You Up, Jasmine admitted that while she was flattered by the tribute,
01:28she just didn't think Nina nailed the impersonation.
01:30So, Nina Bonina Brown impersonated you for the Snatch Game.
01:34Mm-hmm.
01:35Do you think she did a good job?
01:36Hell no.
01:37Number 29. Baron Geisler, Kiana.
01:40The widely praised Snatch Game episode on Drag Race Philippines Season 3 gave us Kiana's hilarious take on Filipino actor Baron Geisler.
01:47Instead of going for his calmer, later years, she decided to rewind the clock to his more controversial days.
01:53Speaking of food business,
01:55Where's the tag?
01:56Where's the tag?
01:56Where's the tag?
01:57Where's the tag?
01:57Where's the tag?
01:58The tag!
02:01Are you guys?
02:02Aware of the sensitive nature of that era,
02:04Kiana was worried that Geisler might take offense if he ever watched the episode.
02:10But she had nothing to worry about.
02:18When a fan asked him about it on Twitter,
02:19Geisler said he actually enjoyed watching the clips
02:22and reading people's reactions. Later, in an interview, when asked what score he'd give
02:26Kiana, he said, quote, I'd give her a 100 and a hug and kiss.
02:42Number 28. Michelle Visage, Sharon Needles.
02:45Michelle Visage is here, hey. I might not be the biggest star here, but I got the biggest knocker.
02:51It takes real guts to impersonate the notoriously tough Michelle Visage, especially knowing that
02:57she'll be judging you for it. In season four, Sharon Needles took on that challenge and managed to pull
03:02off something even harder. She actually impressed Michelle. Sharon's depiction of the judge made
03:07her older and very irritable, as she butted heads with the other celebrities on the panel.
03:12Pianci, were you sleeping?
03:13It's a medication.
03:14That's no excuse. You should have seen what me and Rue were on.
03:17At the limelight. It's all behind us now. We're on uppers, downers, and candy corn.
03:22Rue Paul was eager to hear what Michelle thought about it, and clearly, so was everyone else.
03:26Surprisingly, Michelle didn't take offense at the portrayal. In fact, she praised Sharon for being
03:31bold enough to take on that risk, even if she didn't exactly approve of every aspect of it.
03:36She didn't think traditional. She definitely was not a suck-up. She made me older and harsher
03:42and cheaper.
03:45Number 27. Maggie Smith, Ben de la Creme.
03:48How are you, my dear?
03:50Well, past a certain age, one just feels fortunate to see the sunrise another day.
03:54Yes, yes, Maggie Smith.
03:57It wasn't until the passing of screen legend Dame Maggie Smith that we finally learned how she felt
04:02about her Snatch Game portrayal. Smith had been impersonated on Season 6 by Ben de la Creme,
04:07whose exaggerated English accent and hilarious one-liners left everyone in stitches.
04:12Who can you get people that speak normal English next time for the show?
04:16Excuse me, we originated the language.
04:19Oh, okay.
04:20Of course, she went on to win the episode, edging out other fierce contenders like Bianca Del Rio
04:25and Adore Delano. Following Smith's death in September 2024,
04:29De la shared a heartfelt tribute to her on Instagram. In the comments,
04:33drummer and scenic artist Dusty Duderino revealed that he had shown clips of the Snatch Game
04:37performance to Smith's son, who later shared them with his mother. According to Duderino,
04:42Smith, quote, absolutely adored the impression and felt, quote, honored by it.
04:46I did think that it would be rather amusing if there were a libation flavored with citrus.
04:52Can you imagine such a thing?
04:56Number 26, Naomi Campbell, Shea Coulee.
04:59You don't look a day over 16.
05:02And I don't taste a day over 15.
05:04This All-Stars winner has long drawn inspiration for her drag persona from supermodel Naomi Campbell.
05:09So, when the Snatch Game challenge came along,
05:12Shea Coulee took the opportunity to both pay homage to and poke a little fun at the fashion icon.
05:17When I got here to set, your crew confiscated my phone. But luckily,
05:21my good friend back here had a little prepaid cricket phone that she let me borrow for the
05:26afternoon. Chris Rock, thank you so much.
05:28Her performance was just good enough to keep her safe from elimination,
05:32though it didn't quite impress the judges. However, one person Shea did manage to impress
05:36was Naomi Campbell herself. Shortly after the episode aired, Campbell took to Twitter to tag
05:41Shea and express her love for the performance. The two eventually met in person when Campbell made a
05:46guest appearance on the first episode of the All-Winners season.
05:49There aren't enough words to describe the impact that you've had on me.
05:58Number 25. Amanda Lear, Punani.
06:01From the start, Drag Race France Season 2 finalist Punani had planned to impersonate Amanda Lear
06:06for the Snatch Game. However, when the big day finally arrived, she discovered that one of
06:11the guest judges would be none other than Lear herself.
06:14Punani briefly reconsidered her choice, but ultimately decided to go through with it.
06:24If she felt any pressure performing in front of the legendary singer and actress,
06:28she never showed it during the challenge. Punani delivered one sharp punchline after another,
06:33cracking everyone up, especially Lear.
06:36Amanda, what do you think of the person who you imite?
06:38Later, on the main stage, the gay icon praised Punani's performance, commending her for taking
06:54on such a risky move.
07:04In the end, Punani's decision paid off, as she won the challenge.
07:08Number 24. Vicky Bello, Silhouette
07:11The Snatch Game episode in the first season of Drag Race Philippines saw veteran drag queen
07:27Silhouette finally win her first maxi challenge. She earned that victory with a hilarious impression
07:32of celebrity doctor Vicky Bello. Silhouette stood out among a strong lineup by exaggerating Bello's
07:37appearance, delivering a stiff and overly medicated portrayal of the Filipino doctor.
07:42I'm endorsing the very new spray away.
07:45The impression quickly went viral, and many fans tagged Bello herself on social media to know
07:50how she felt about it. Bello later took to TikTok to commend Silhouette for the depiction
07:54and congratulate her on her win.
07:56Okay guys, that was really funny. I don't know whether to be angry or flattered, but I'll
08:02choose flattered because I know you have to be famous to be impersonated.
08:06She also showed she was a good sport, admitting that she was flattered and joking that she
08:11can, in fact, move her face.
08:13Number 23. Amanda Lepore, Trinity The Tuck
08:16You are such a gorgeous international vixen. How do you do it?
08:22These lips have secrets.
08:24I bet they do.
08:25Across her three appearances on RuPaul's Drag Race, All Stars 4 winner Trinity The Tuck only
08:31grew stronger at the Snatch Game. Although she didn't win the challenge on her original season,
08:36her impression of queer icon Amanda Lepore still earned laughs from RuPaul and kept her
08:41safe that week.
08:42Can you move your face at all?
08:44I'm moving it right now.
08:46It wasn't until years later that Trinity found out what Lepore thought of the performance.
08:50During the All Stars 7 press tour in 2022, Entertainment Weekly surprised her with a video message
08:56from Lepore, who said she loved the tribute and felt honored by it.
08:59Hi, Trinity. I loved your tribute to me.
09:03It is such an honor.
09:05Love and kisses.
09:07The message left Trinity absolutely thrilled, as she expressed how deeply she admired Lepore
09:12and how much of herself she saw in the performance artist.
09:15She's like one of the original club kids, and just what she's been through in life,
09:20and who she is, and how graceful she is, and humble. She's a superstar.
09:25Number 22. Natasha Lyonne, Jinx Monsoon.
09:28I quit smoking today.
09:30Oh, you did?
09:31What are you smoking?
09:32A cigarette.
09:33Yeah, I didn't say it was going well.
09:35As a celebrity, you'd probably want your Snatch Game impression to be handled by the best
09:39of the best. And few queens fit that description better than Jinx Monsoon.
09:44On All Stars 7, the winners were challenged to deliver not one, but two celebrity impersonations,
09:50and Jinx turned it out with her portrayals of Natasha Lyonne and Judy Garland.
09:54Imagine a Jada Essence Hall topping Monday Exchange. That would be hilarious to see,
10:01you know? Like a four-year-old trying to move a couch on her own.
10:05While we'll never know what Garland would have thought of Jinx's impression,
10:08given that she passed away long ago, we did get Lyonne's reaction.
10:12Taking to Twitter days after the episode aired, Lyonne reacted to a clip of the performance,
10:17writing, quote,
10:17What an honor.
10:19And an honor it was, as Jinx's stellar impressions ultimately made her one of the few queens to
10:24win Snatch Game twice.
10:26That's funny.
10:27Number 21. T.S. Madison, Silky Nutmeg Ganache.
10:31Is it on?
10:32Is it on?
10:33The question of the day.
10:35And every single day, is this bitch recording?
10:39Years before joining RuPaul's Drag Race as a main judge,
10:43T.S. Madison made her first appearance on the show in season 11.
10:46Well, as a character on the Snatch Game portrayed by Silky Nutmeg Ganache.
10:50Oh, you got a new hairdo.
10:51Girl, let me tell you something.
10:52You ain't rocking 22 inches.
10:54You practically bald, bitch.
10:56You practically bald.
10:57Silky's exuberant performance not only won over the fans and the judges,
11:01but also Madison herself.
11:03In a reaction video posted on the WOW Presents YouTube channel,
11:06Madison watched the impersonation with delight,
11:09laughing, cheering, and even acting along to some of Silky's funniest moments.
11:13Nine inches are better, honey.
11:15I wasn't saving you because you wasn't worth it, honey.
11:18You got nine inches over there.
11:20You got nine inches.
11:22She ended the video by thanking Silky for choosing to impersonate her
11:25and praising her spot-on delivery of her mannerisms and catchphrases.
11:29Girl, you had my mannerisms down.
11:31You had my loud, loud, and in-color personality together.
11:34I am so, so very proud of you.
11:37Thank you so much, Silky, girl.
11:40Silky may have won the challenge that week,
11:42but Madison's joyful reaction was the true prize of the experience.
11:46Number 20.
11:47Karen Huger.
11:48Robin Fierce.
11:49Season 15 contestant Robin Fierce didn't get much love for her impersonation
11:53of Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger.
11:55I like the way you think.
11:57Thank you, darling.
11:58The grand dame of Potomac is known for her regality and quickness with a comeback.
12:03I don't believe everything I read.
12:04But if you want to act like you believe everything you read, Ashley,
12:07you may end up there meeting people in London.
12:09But unfortunately, Robin's snatch game did not deliver on the jokes.
12:13We're looking for candy muse.
12:15I'm ready for my lunch break, so I just wrote ham hocks.
12:19Still, Huger tweeted out her excitement at being portrayed by one of the queens.
12:24In typical Karen fashion, though,
12:25the post itself was low-key shady.
12:28She reposted a two-panel meme that paired Fierce as Huger in the first panel,
12:33with RuPaul asking where are the jokes in the next panel.
12:37Number 19.
12:38RuPaul, Jessica Wilde, and Trixie Mattel.
12:41It's one thing to do an impersonation of a well-known person.
12:44It's another thing to do that impersonation right in front of them.
12:48RuPaul?
12:49Ms. RuPaul?
12:50Oh, hello, darling!
12:52How are you?
12:55Season 2's Jessica Wilde and All Stars 3 winner Trixie Mattel made the risky decision of performing
13:01as RuPaul herself during their respective snatch games.
13:04Give it up for our special guest host,
13:06Boy RuPaul.
13:08Let's just say both had unique takes.
13:11Jessica Wilde stayed true to her name and delivered a wild, manic version of the host
13:16that made Ru crack up the whole time.
13:18Trixie Mattel, on the other hand, took her internet parody of the host as a pun-loving robot.
13:24She did fine for a minute, but Ru's silence as the challenge went on said everything.
13:29Your answer was an anonymous.
13:32Anonymous?
13:33Yes, yes, it was.
13:35Number 18.
13:36Jenny Bui, Gia Gunn.
13:37Known primarily for her nail artistry on social media,
13:41Jenny Bui first gained fame as Cardi B's personal nail tech.
13:44And so, so Cardi found you on Instagram?
13:46Yes.
13:47And she come, she say, may I help you?
13:49Because we don't know who is she.
13:51Her intricate, bling-filled nail art and effervescent personality gained many followers.
13:55But when Gia Gunn portrayed her on Snatch Game of Love,
13:59she was far from impressed.
14:00No more doing nail for me, you know?
14:03First of all, Gunn decided to portray her as Japanese when Bui is actually Cambodian.
14:08The latter's Instagram response, which poked fun at one of Gunn's catchphrases,
14:12was hilarious and shady.
14:14Although she wasn't too pleased with the impression at first,
14:17there didn't seem to be any bad blood.
14:19Bui later met the queen for a nail session and talked things out.
14:23Did you feel insulted?
14:24Tell me the truth.
14:26Uh, first of all, I say I feel so a little, like, insulted.
14:31Okay.
14:32Honored, right?
14:33Yeah.
14:34Because I feel like to honor you, not to insult you.
14:37Yeah, I know.
14:38Number 17.
14:39Raven Simone, Jaden Dior Fierce.
14:41During the Season 7 Snatch Game, Jaden Dior Fierce decided to imitate the Cosby Show star.
14:47That's so raven.
14:48That is so neat.
14:50Fierce got a few laughs for sure, but the jokes got repetitive after a while,
14:54especially the liberal use of references to That's So Raven.
14:58Ooh, Jaden, I just got a vision.
15:01You might be lip-syncing for your life tomorrow, baby.
15:04The former Disney star is famously outspoken, so it wasn't a surprise that she would weigh in.
15:10In a since-deleted Instagram post, Raven Simone came off as less than enthusiastic,
15:15saying that while RuPaul seemed to love Fierce's impression, Simone herself didn't see the future.
15:20I am not playing with you!
15:22Ooh, that subtle hint of shade really sells it.
15:26Number 16.
15:27Nigella Lawson, Ella Vidae.
15:29In 2020, this British TV chef achieved internet virality with her outlandish pronunciation of the word microwave.
15:37But I still need a bit of milk, full fat, which I've warmed in the microwave.
15:42However, British audiences have enjoyed her eccentric and innuendo-laden approach to cooking for decades.
15:48During the third season of Drag Race UK, contestant Ella Vidae took Lawson's quirks to the nth degree with her Snatch Game impersonation.
15:56I want to ask you, what is your favorite dish?
16:00My goodness, I've got so many recipes.
16:03Dirty rice is in my new book.
16:06The judges were clearly impressed, and Ella won the challenge.
16:11When fans asked her for her take on the impression,
16:13Lawson admitted to being nervous about witnessing an imitation of herself.
16:16After seeing the episode for herself, though,
16:19she took to social media to say how much she loved Vidae's performance.
16:23Number 15.
16:24Alaska.
16:25Roxy Andrews.
16:27This one has layers.
16:29Roxy Andrews was not just imitating Alaska.
16:32Her co-star and friend from Drag Race Season 5.
16:34Is that a wig on your head?
16:36Uh, if you're not wearing wigs, then you're not doing drugs.
16:42She was also imitating Alaska right in front of Alaska, who was imitating classic Hollywood star Mae West.
16:49It's certainly a Drag Race first.
16:51Alaska's reactions to the lackluster impersonation are as awkward as they are hilarious.
16:56Alaska, what have you done with your lipstick, darling?
16:59Oh, my makeup is terrible.
17:02Her stink face when Andrews fumbles her first joke is just relatable content.
17:07What's incredible to watch is how Alaska reacts with playful offense while never breaking character.
17:13As rocky as Andrews' snatch game may have been,
17:16it just once again proved how adaptable and quick-witted Alaska is as a performer.
17:21Number 14.
17:22Gemma Collins.
17:23Kitty Scott Claus.
17:24She's a diva, she's an icon, she's got great hair, and she's claustrophobic, Darren.
17:30Gemma Collins is directly and indirectly responsible for some of reality TV's most iconic moments.
17:36She's even served as a guest judge during RuPaul's Drag Race UK's second season.
17:41On the next season, Kitty Scott Claus won praise for her impression of the TOWIE star.
17:45I want to ask you, Gemma, how is Darren doing?
17:48I'm claustrophobic, Darren!
17:50They don't get it!
17:52I'm claustrophobic!
17:53I know you.
17:55Collins loved the impression so much, she invited Kitty on her podcast in character as Gemma Collins.
18:00There's no denying Scott Claus nailed Collins' makeup,
18:04but Collins paid the queen a hilarious, if slightly backhanded, compliment
18:07by saying they looked so similar, they could switch places at gigs she didn't want to do.
18:13Number 13.
18:14Katie Price.
18:15Bimini Bon Boulash.
18:16Described by RuPaul as British tabloid royalty,
18:19Katie Price is clearly no stranger to some fun at her expense.
18:23You know what they say, Wu?
18:25What is that?
18:26The nipples are the eyes of the face.
18:30And you've got gorgeous nipples.
18:35Still, Drag Race UK finalist Bimini Bon Boulash wanted her impression to be as loving as it was funny.
18:41Clearly, she succeeded.
18:42I walked in the stables and caught my horse cheating on me again.
18:48So, I didn't have time to write anything.
18:54In a YouTube video, the real Katie Price sat her two young children down with her to watch and react to the episode.
19:01With some of the racier bits edited out, of course.
19:03Don't underestimate the pricey.
19:06Price called the performance fantastic and even seemed open to doing some kind of collaboration with Bon Boulash.
19:13If that's not a seal of approval, what is?
19:16Number 12.
19:17Alyssa Edwards.
19:18Violet Tchotchke.
19:19What drag queen is more memorable and more quotable than Alyssa Edwards?
19:24The season 5 queen's numerous malapropisms and tongue pops make her a prime target for imitation.
19:29When Violet Tchotchke chose Edwards for the season 7 Snatch Game, she had a lot of material to work with.
19:35What is your secret?
19:37I'm sitting on it.
19:38Oh, okay.
19:40Even better than the performance is Edwards' now iconic reaction to it.
19:45Lucky for us, we got to see it go down live.
19:48Surprised by the producers of her video series, Edwards could hardly believe what she was seeing when Tchotchke appeared in character as her.
19:55Was that Violet Tchotchke dressed up as me?
19:58Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, how do we rewind this gig back?
20:01As someone who knows the work that goes into a challenge like this, Edwards' infectious excitement is a high compliment.
20:08Number 11.
20:09Lady Bunny.
20:10Alaska.
20:11A Snatch Game impersonation can make an offensive caricature out of a real person, but what happens when it's too accurate?
20:17You know, the last time I had a battle of the Browns was about 10 minutes ago in my dressing room.
20:23Alaska played drag legend and perennial drag race punching bag Lady Bunny in the Season 5 edition of the challenge.
20:31During the season reunion, some of the celebrities who were impersonated got to address the top three.
20:37When it came time for Bunny's reaction, she told Alaska her impression was spot on and that she would get her for it.
20:43Alaska, I wanted to tell you that your impersonation of me was spot on and I'm gonna get you for that.
20:52Even Lady Bunny loves making fun of Lady Bunny.
20:55Number 10.
20:56Lil Jon.
20:57Deja Skye.
20:58Season 14's Snatch Game had some issues, and that's putting it lightly.
21:06The weakness of the performances overall resulted in the unforgettable lip-sync smackdown the following week.
21:13Deja Skye's performance as the Atlanta rapper was the obvious bright spot in an underwhelming showing.
21:18What say you?
21:19I said his grill.
21:21Oh, oh.
21:23God damn it.
21:24While promoting her success in the challenge on Twitter, Skye posted additional photos of her in character.
21:29Lil Jon then replied, killed it, with a hands-in-the-air emoji.
21:33Clearly over the moon, the Queen also tweeted about how much Jon loved her impersonation.
21:38While we didn't see a filmed reaction from the artist himself, we're glad Skye's transformation got the cosign.
21:44We'll shake your groove thing.
21:46Oh, yeah.
21:48Yeah.
21:50Number 9.
21:51Bjork.
21:52Katia.
21:52Bjork is here.
21:54I love your suit.
21:56It reminds me of the lining of my small intestine.
22:00Katia is known as one of the most hilarious queens to ever compete on Drag Race.
22:06Her off-kilter brand of humor perfectly complemented her choice of character in the All-Stars 2 Snatch Game.
22:11Sometimes I don't understand anything about science.
22:16Katia's impression of the famously quirky singer-songwriter was as weird as could be.
22:21And we loved every moment of it.
22:24How many bones do I win?
22:26How many bones do you want?
22:27Oh!
22:28As it turns out, so did the Icelandic artist herself.
22:32In an Ask Me Anything discussion on Reddit, she heaped praise on Katia's impression.
22:37Although she admitted she longed for references to her Volna Kura era,
22:40it was clear she found the impersonation outrageous, yet accurate.
22:51Number 8.
22:52Jonathan Van Ness.
22:53Denali.
22:54What's the secret to keeping your hair silky smooth?
22:57Praying to the gay Jesus himself.
23:00Me!
23:02Each cast member of Netflix's Queer Eye reboot has become a breakout star in their own right.
23:08But the Fab Five's hairstylist and beauty guru JVN has become a truly iconic television presence.
23:14Yeah, but that's hot.
23:15I love that story.
23:16From their signature do to their unfailingly peppy attitude,
23:21their on-screen persona is perfect Snatch Game material.
23:25Thankfully, Chicago Queen Denali did the mustachioed star justice.
23:28Ross Matthews fries his eggs on what?
23:31Now the only thing hotter than Palm Springs is our resident culinary expert, Antony.
23:36So I wrote, Antony's ass cheek.
23:38In fact, Van Ness declared the impersonation a, quote,
23:43major life moment on Twitter.
23:46And we haven't even got to their Instagram post of a screencap from the episode.
23:51Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
23:54And Denali's was spot on.
23:56Great assets, turn him over and you can make a Benedict.
24:00Number 7.
24:01Tamar Braxton.
24:02Roxy Andrews.
24:04Tamar Braxton.
24:05Get your life.
24:07What's Tony really like?
24:09Girl, who cares?
24:09This is my first gig without Tony and I am so excited.
24:12Boom!
24:15Boom!
24:16Roxy Andrews stood out in season 5 Snatch Game,
24:19despite competing with some unforgettable performances like Jinx Monsoon's Lil' Edie.
24:24Her irreverent interpretation of the Braxton sister was thoroughly entertaining
24:28and full of memorable catchphrases.
24:30Boom!
24:31Who cares?
24:32I'm so sick and tired of hearing about that bitch.
24:36It's Tamar's world.
24:37In the season's final episode, Andrews got a rousing video message from Braxton herself
24:42praising the impression.
24:43They do that on overthetopshade.com, okay?
24:47Boom!
24:48Get your life.
24:49Number 6.
24:50Leslie Jones.
24:51Heidi in Closet.
24:52Black of the bears, sweet of the juice.
24:55I thought it was darker than Barry.
24:56What berries are black?
24:58Black bears.
24:59This former SNL cast member is known among Drag Race fans for her animated live tweetings
25:05of the show.
25:06Leslie, are you recording this?
25:08Yeah, girl, that's how I do it at home.
25:10I live tweet live.
25:13Funnily enough, season 12 Snatch Game episode was no exception.
25:17Leslie Jones, her comedy is very loud in your face and very thirsty with her skit, so I can
25:24really tap into that real well.
25:25Heidi in Closet was nearly in hot water with Jones, as the comedian seemed to take offense
25:31to being characterized as thirsty during Rue's walkthrough.
25:34Heidi in Closet replied on Twitter, explaining that this was a reference to Jones' flirtatious
25:39persona from Weekend Update.
25:41Although the actress questioned some less successful performances, she called the queen, quote,
25:46hilarious and gave her a, quote, A for effort.
25:49From a comic extraordinaire like her, that's high praise.
25:52Oh, your hair is different, Leslie.
25:55I had to let the civil rights hair out, Rue.
25:57You're real tight in there.
25:58Number five, Judge Judy, Bianca Del Rio.
26:02Judge Judy, hey, Your Honor.
26:04Did you forget you were coming to court today dressed like that?
26:06You look like a damn roll of scotch tape.
26:08Well, I thought it was...
26:09You don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
26:13Rue's love for Judge Judith Scheindlin is well documented.
26:17So I have no idea that Judge Judy is RuPaul's favorite TV show.
26:22Uh-huh.
26:23Pressured?
26:24The pressure was on then for season six comedy queen Bianca Del Rio to capture the TV star's
26:30one-of-a-kind personality.
26:31Thankfully, the performance was anything but baloney.
26:34Baloney!
26:36Baloney, sir!
26:37Although she was edged out by Benda LaCreme, Del Rio was a definite standout in the Snatch Game.
26:42Shockingly, fans and cast members alike were treated to a cameo from Judge Judy herself
26:48at the end of the finale.
26:49In a video from behind her bench, she praised Del Rio's impression and gave a touching shout-out
26:54to her famous fan.
26:55I thought Bianca was a hoot.
26:59But, Rue, you're still my favorite.
27:02Baloney!
27:02Considering the judge's legendary status, we can only imagine the impact the statement
27:07had on Del Rio and Rue alike.
27:09Has a celebrity ever reacted quite so strongly to the Snatch Game?
27:26Aiden Zane's decision to portray the actress famous for the Rocky Horror Picture Show was
27:30interesting.
27:31Are you ready to do the time warp again?
27:34I have no idea what you're talking about, Rue.
27:37Oh, really?
27:38Whatever happened to you?
27:40Did you make other films?
27:41I don't remember a damn thing.
27:44Sadly, her characterization didn't extend much beyond the star being a kooky old lady.
27:50What say you, Patricia Quinn?
27:52Well, you know, I still have no clue what the hell's going on here.
27:57But, I put a blunt.
28:02It's because if I had one of these right now, I might remember where the hell I'm at.
28:06Besides not excelling at the challenge, Zane's performance had the unfortunate side effect
28:12of offending its inspiration.
28:14Quinn released a statement through her manager, in which she expressed disappointment with
28:18quote, being depicted as a washed-up actress who has taken too many drugs.
28:23Perhaps most shockingly, the actress said she was left feeling, quote, disgusted.
28:31Jackie Cox and Lisa Rinna are a truly star-crossed pair.
28:42On Watch What Happens Live, Cox impersonated the Beverly Hills housewife to her face, complete
28:47with a QVC-ready clothing rack.
28:49She's got her Lisa Rinna collection, her HSN.
28:55So, the Queen's choice for the Snatch Game was a no-brainer.
28:58Harry Hamlin.
29:00Harry Hamlin.
29:00Have you met my husband?
29:01Say it one more time.
29:02Harry Hamlin.
29:03Don't talk about my husband.
29:05At the Season 12 reunion, we were treated to a personalized video from Rinna with a surprised guest.
29:11Hi, Jackie Cox.
29:12Lisa Rinna here.
29:13I loved your Snatch Game.
29:16Okay?
29:16I'm honored.
29:17I'm thrilled.
29:18It was fabulous.
29:19It was a heartfelt message that clearly meant a lot to Cox.
29:22The performers later collaborated in Days of Our Lives Beyond Salem.
29:26So, who are you supposed to be?
29:28And Rinna praised the Queen in a promotional interview.
29:31Although we won't talk about the husband, we could talk about this dynamic duo to no end.
29:36My favorite part was when you picked up the wine glass and you said,
29:42let's not talk about the husband.
29:44Well, speaking of the husband...
29:46Number 2.
29:47Paris Hilton.
29:48Gottmik.
29:49Hey, Ru.
29:49How's it going?
29:50Just let me know when the cameras are rolling and we'll kill it.
29:53Well, we've started.
29:54The cameras are rolling.
29:55Oh, shit.
29:56That's so embarrassing.
29:57Sorry.
29:59Gottmik delivered arguably one of the best ever drag race comedy performances in Season 13.
30:04Perhaps due to her professional history with the reality TV star,
30:09Gottmik had Hilton's voice and persona down.
30:12My goodness, your voice changed just then when you found out that we were on camera.
30:17You're so obsessed with me as everything.
30:19I kind of am obsessed with you.
30:21However, the Queen also had original ideas for making her inspiration truly hilarious.
30:27In a video on Gottmik's YouTube channel,
30:29she showed how she put together the instantly memorable Snatch Game look.
30:33At the end, Hilton appeared via video chat and heaped praise on her impersonator.
30:38How are you?
30:39I'm doing good.
30:40Congratulations.
30:41I was watching last night.
30:42Thanks.
30:43Did you get to see it?
30:44There's something particularly exciting about seeing a celeb discuss their portrayal
30:48with the challenge winner herself.
30:50In a word, gorge.

31:06Number one, Carol Channing, Bob the Drag Queen.
31:11There is so much talk about drugs.
31:14I haven't taken anything but Lipitor for the past 10 years.
31:17You don't really get a buzz off of that.
31:20Bob the Drag Queen's comedy chops were no secret on season eight.
31:24Nonetheless, it was extremely impressive for the competitor to pull off two very different
31:29impressions in one Snatch Game.
31:31I'm sorry that I'm late, but Uzo Abubu left the stage and she asked me if I would fill
31:39in.
31:39What made Bob's performance even more memorable was the fact that it garnered two separate
31:44shoutouts.
31:45From Orange is the New Black, Uzo Aduba is here.
31:49Don't say to the stupid, don't say to the stupid.
31:51Uh, how you doing, RuPaul?
31:54On Twitter, Uzo Aduba summed up her impression with the word, bravo, which Bob addressed at
32:00the finale.
32:00But arguably the most heartwarming tribute came from the legendary Carol Channing.
32:05Thank you, Bob, for your colorful impersonation of me.
32:12The actress's video message was both surprising and absolutely touching.
32:17It made an already enjoyable finale truly one for the books.
32:21I'm so honored to be a part of your history.
32:27Oh, I'm proud of that.
