Episode #5 - Snatch Game
Part Two
The next morning, the queens file into the werkroom and gather in the usual spot. “I’ve never seen you look so rested,” Big Dee jokes to Nicole. “I’m guessing you didn’t have any nightmares about balloons.” At this, Nicole looks sheepish. “Well, I did have an… interesting dream,” she says as her eyes glance across the table to Drü and Eva, and as the other queens react with about as much maturity as the situation would warrant. "We’ve been locked away here for weeks, you can’t blame me for dreaming about kai kai-ing now and again!” she continues in an attempt to defend herself and her wet dreams. “This is a family show, girl,” VinChelle replies. “I don’t need to be hearing about your threesomes at breakfast time.”
On that bombshell, boy Ru strides into the werkroom and announces this week’s mini challenge: the queens each have twenty minutes to drag up a troll doll, with the most creative queen winning. Big Dee complains that Eva and Lady Boi have an unfair advantage in the challenge (“don’t tell me these queens don’t still play with dolls. They’re, like, twelve”) as the others get to work making over their trolls. Once Ru announces that time’s up, the queens put on a mini fashion show to display their creations. The winner is Honey, whose doll Trollnacia consists of a dragged-up troll doll with another troll doll’s decapitated head stuck on top, covered entirely in sequins. After Ru announces that Trollnacia will from now on be permanently displayed in the Museum of Modern Art by way of Honey’s prize, the topic of conversation moves from mini challenge to maxi challenge. “Namely,” Ru teases, “a little something that we like to call the Gatch Sname. No, wait, that’s not right. Snatch Game. Yep, that’s the one.”
The queens cheer with varying degrees of enthusiasm, with VinChelle especially clapping like a hyperactive seal. Big Dee confesses that she’s been waiting for the Snatch Game, and the chance to humorously impersonate a celebrity, since she got on the show in the first place. “And considering my track record, I need all the success that Ru might throw my way.” Eva acknowledges in a confessional that Snatch Game can make or break a queen, and with a troubled few weeks behind her, she’s crossing her fingers and other such extremities that she’ll manage to get back on top with this challenge. Several queens go around the room and ask one another which celebrities they plan to impersonate: Yvie flings her arms wide and screams “Opraaah Winfreeeey!” in an eerily accurate tone of voice, Rafaella announces she’ll be playing Taylor Swift and that she has the range of wigs to prove it, Eva tells Lady Boi that tonight, Matthew, she’s going to be Yoko Ono, VinChelle produces a pair of large white fake breasts to indicate her choice of Stormy Daniels, and Big Dee gives her personal approval to Jessica’s choice of iconic drag queen Miss Coco Peru (“but if you screw it up, I’m cutting your wigs”).
