It’s time to play… the Snatch Game!
Each year, one of the most anticipated moments of RuPaul’s Drag Race – aside from the lip syncs and crowning of a new drag superstar, of course – is watching our queens show off their best celebrity impersonations.
Since season two, we’ve had appearances from icons such as Maggie Smith, Lady Gaga, Pink, Adele, Carol Channing, Little Richard and Britney Spears (some twice) – and controversial figures such as Donald Trump and Margaret Thatcher.

There’s only one objective in mind for the queens while playing Snatch Game, and that is to make Mama Ru laugh.
It’s the challenge that separates the drag queens from America’s Next Drag Superstar, as five Snatch Game winners have gone on to win the crown: Jinkx Monsoon, Bob the Drag Queen, Alaska Thunderfuck, Aquaria and Trinity the Tuck.
So, who are the queens playing this year? Have they learnt from past seasons and left their Beyoncé get-up at home?
