    Ugh… We were talking about in another thread in this community how cringe Snatch Game has become. This one takes the prize. It was painful to watch. On the runway LGD’s outfin was Jean Paul Gaultier and all but I didn’t really fell in love with it. Maybe I’m not familiar enough with his aesthetics but I think Keta’s was much better. I was at first underhwelmed by Tia’s outfit until Michelle mentioned the ship on her head and suddently everything made sense. I would have made the ship bigger, but the silhouette was amazing, I’ll give her that.

    Tia… I am so pissed at her decision. Gothy is clearly not ready for the crown. Her decision could be labeled as strategic but I find it just cowardly. No hate to Tia of course, but she did eliminate my favorite queen and I won’t forget that. It fucking sucks to see Keta go, it just feels wrong =…(

      Wow, this snatch game was a shit show.

      Clearly one team was better than the other by a mile but that wouldn’t have been difficult, i had my head in my hands the entire way through it, cringe.

      Shocking decision from Tia, Gothy had all but handed her dinner plate in for christ sake, sending her home would have been like putting a sick dog down.

      Love Gothy but she’s not growing and taking critiques quick enough to play any major part, and although Keta isn’t my cup of tea, she should have stayed.

      Sad

        I barely made it through this one. Holy hell. It makes me want to write a paper on the deterioration of Snatch Game performances. I’m so relieved Marina made it though because my god thar Pacquiao was cringey af

        As much as I wanted Tia to release Gothy from her misery, I kind of live how unpredictable her lipstick picks have been

        I can’t wait for next week’s challenge

          Please write it! But make it an open letter so we can sign it xD.

          Besides what you have all said, the last thing left in my mind was when Keta was eliminated I though ‘man, Doll_Tow must be so angry’.

          I am done with snatch games. I am not sure what could replace it but I can live without seeing most of it. Maybe after Jinkx truly knocking it out of the park… There is nothing left?

            We rewatched s15’s Snatch Game and it was actually pretty good, with Aura and the twins being the only cringey ones, albeit unbearably so. Maybe we’re just experiencing oversaturation. The Snatch Game from S11 upwards have been pretty forgettable (though a lot of them have been just awful cough s14 cough)

            hahaha you are right, I was furious. As I said in my first post I am not hating on Tia. Queens have a right to play it strategically, but the whole ‘she has still room to grow’ argument was BS. She just eliminated strong competition and I think she didn’t want to have the UK girls putting a target on her back as the eliminator of UK queens. But yes, this is not my fantasy for this season :(

            I’m seeing a top 3 with LGD, Marina and Scarlet, but Ru loves Hannah Conda so much she might get a spot in the top 3, in which case we would have a non-deserved elimination again :(

              I have never been receptive to Scarlet’s charm but it has nothing to do with her. So I would not include her in the top.

              The top in my fantasy is LGD, Marina and Tia.

                Well considering Tia just pulled a slightly milder version of a Blue Hydrangea maybe Ru will also reward her with a spot on the finale 😋

      This was in my opinion one of the worst Snatch Games. Even the top two I didn’t really find to be that funny in most of the screen time shown. Maybe I’m being a Jimbo simp, but I think having seen her do Shirley Temple made Hannah’s compare poorly. It was so sad to see Keta go. Her drag is incredible and she seemed like she had more of a chance of winning than Gothy. I think Tia’s question for Gothy about if she’ll get past the block on the show was a great one, but then she didn’t follow through with the information given. No hate to any of the queens. We’ll miss you Keta!
