Drag Race UK’s fifth season brought chaos, viral memes, and a touch of controversy with its recent Snatch Game episode. This highly anticipated challenge featured the remaining seven queens impersonating celebrities in a bid to make RuPaul laugh. Joined by guest judges Alexandra Burke and Carol Vorderman, the queens revealed their chosen stars.
Kate Butch garnered praise for her portrayal of Kate Bush, humorously referencing Alexandra Burke’s famous phrase mix-up. However, the challenge winner, Ginger Johnson, sparked debate among fans, leaving some feeling that Kate had been “robbed” of the win. While Ginger’s performance was appreciated by some, others believed it lacked the celebrity impersonation aspect.
In the end, Vicki Vivacious was eliminated after a lip-sync battle. The controversy surrounding Ginger’s win continues to divide Drag Race UK fans, echoing the ongoing discussions around the show’s iconic Snatch Game.
Drag Race UK Season Five airs every Thursday on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
