The library is open and let me say this, we have one of the shadiest casts ever in season 16. But with that said, the reads in the reading challenge weren't giving as much but those who did, did. Congratulations to Xunami for winning her second mini-challenge. I think what made her get her second mini-challenge win was her read to Plasma. I didn't get it at first but I took the liberty to educate myself when Xunami asked Plasma "Where she was on January 6th?"
If you didn't get the read, please get educated and return to the video. Okay so let's talk about the main challenge for this week. The queens are playing the snatch game and as we all know, the snatch game is one of the main challenges where the winner could make it all the way to the final.
Who are the queens impersonating for the snatch game? Let's go through the list:
Q - Amelia Earhart
Xunami Muse - The Golden Tooth Fairy
Nymphia Wind - Jane Goodall
Dawn - Meghan McCain
Sapphira Cristal - James Brown
Plasma - Patty Lupone
Morphine Love Dion - Anna Delvey
Mhi'ya Iman Lepaige - Shaquita
Plane Jane - Jelena Karleuša
Please remember that this time around we had two made-up characters, The Golden Tooth Fairy and Shaquita. Overall, I think the Snatch game was okay but I'm not sure if it is just me or the more recent seasons of Drag Race are not giving when it comes to Snatch Game. I remember watching seasons 5 & 6 and all the queens were hilarious in Snatch Game. The only recent season that's giving Snatch Game supreme was All-Stars 7.
So for the runway, the theme was dance. Each queen will represent a dance and let's look at the list:
Q - The Robot
Xunami Muse - Salsa
Nymphia Wind - Japanese Butoh
Dawn - Polka
Sapphira Cristal - Majorette
Plasma - Tap
Morphine Love Dion - Flamenco
Mhi'ya Iman Lepaige - 90's Hip-Hop
Plane Jane - Latin Ballroom
Okay, so how are the queens doing? Honestly, I was scared for my girl Nymphia but her runway saved her for the bottom two. Because Jane Goodall was not good at all and also had Xunami and Morphine in the bottom two was not it for me. I hate this episode like I really do. But let's congratulate Miss Plane for the second win and with Sapphira and Mhi'ya at the top this week. Q, Dawn, and Plasma were all safe.
The bottom two queens lipsynced to Whitney Houston "I wanna dance with somebody" and girl the writer and producer really think they did something here huh? Last week the runway theme was flower and they had Miley Cyrus's "Flowers" as the lipsync song, this week with the runway theme being dance and they got that song for the lipsync song. The writer strikes really had this show by the throat.
Morphine was saved and Xunami had to sashay away, unfortunately. Let me tell you this, I'm rooting for Xunami to be Miss Congeniality because she was such a sweetheart and I really did enjoy her this season. Hopefully, we'll get to see her in future all-stars season.
Next week, the queens will have another design challenge and what did I tell you last week? The challenges this season have been repetitive and they just switch acting and sewing every other week. I'm certain that Q, Dawn, and Nymphia will be at the top next week and it will be either Mhi'ya or Plasma sashaying away. Trust because their time has come!
Is it really because of the writer strikes that made the production recycling the same challenges for this season?
