RuPaul’s Drag Race Recap: Hold My Purse While I Snatch the Crown

This trend was especially clear when looking at seasons 11 through 16: no queen who won a regular season ever placed well during the Snatch Game challenge. While Snatch Game was a consistent part of the show, it wasn’t considered crucial to a queen’s overall journey to winning. Because of this, winning the challenge didn’t really carry much weight. The performances just weren’t consistently strong enough to make a real difference at the end. Looking back, winners like Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Deja Skye, and Plane didn’t deliver Snatch Game performances with the same impact as queens like Jinkx Monsoon, Bob the Drag Queen, or Aquaria, whose wins in the challenge were key to their overall success. For those winning queens, Snatch Game was a major stepping stone.
