This RuPaul's Drag Race recap will only hurt at little bit...


This week's RuPaul's Drag Race brought the annual "Snatch Game" challenge, a loopy homage to the classic 1970s game show Match Game wherein the Drag Race contestants must impersonate famous celebs. If that little synopsis made no sense, no bother: basically, it's just a fun, comedic free-for-all hosted by RuPaul, with the competing queens battling to see who can snag the most laughs as they channel celebs such as Aretha Franklin, Jessica Simpson, Snooki, and others.

Chad Michaels is a seasoned Cher impersonator, and he lived up to his formidable rep. But fellow queen Sharon Needles surprised everyone when she decided to play a certain celeb much closer to home: Drag Race judge Michelle Visage.

As always, in this week's Drag Ya Later recap Jon Mallow and I are dishing up our Top 5 Moments of the week, which just happen to involved dirty chicken puns, a query about RuPaul's sexual appetite, juggling, giraffe-inspired couture, and, well, general silliness.

SPOILER ALERT: Yep, we're gonna tell you who won and who got sent home this week. Consider yourself warned, Chickens! If you haven't seen the episode yet, catch it first at LogoTV.com.

LOved the Snatch Game. I think it is getting very clear that the winners should be either Sharon Needles or Chad Michaels with Latrice in the 3rd place.

Loved the recap! John and Jon get me all swurld back up in Drag Race euphoria. I do need a GIF of Jiggly's south park smoosh-smoosh Snooki dance, hahaaha!

What's going to be the big twist this season? There were plenty of twists in season 3 (I.E., Shangela, the return of Carmen, etc.), so I can't help but speculate about what twists might be around the corner this season.
Here's my transpiracy: Chad Michaels = sleeper judge?
Chad's is a seasoned performer and drag legend in her own right. She's always serving objective realness in the Interior Illusions lounge and Gold Room. Yes I know its far fetched, but Ru's going to serve some curves and swurves this season, you just watch. Does anyone agree? Care to stomp on out your own transpiracy?

Such an interesting idea. Would have never thought that, but I wouldn't mind if it happened. Still, seems a bit far-fetched, though, but I guess that's the point of a twist.

I heard lots of speculation that there's going to be two winners instead of one, but I don't really know how valid that is.

I'm excited about the twist as long as it's not wasted like bringing Carmen back was.

Tell me again why we can't be equal?

Sharon Needles is an inspiration. My money's on her.
