Snatching the crown on "RuPaul's Drag Race" is not easy for a queen to do. However, every season on this television show, filled with wigs, makeup, and lots of shade being thrown, there is a challenge that some excel greatly at, while others tank. It is called "Snatch Game." This spin on the famous game show "Match Game" is simple: The competitors on "RuPaul's Drag Race" have to dress up like a female celebrity (in some cases, some queens have been daring enough to do a male celebrity), impersonate them and be funny. This challenge is done every single year on the show and fans all over the US anticipate this every single season.
There are some impersonations that queens have done that have left me crying with laughter and others crying because of how poorly they did. During season 7, my favorite queen ever, Max, was sent home because of her poor impersonation of season 4 Sharon Needles. Queens who win the challenge are given extreme praise by the judges of the show and typically by the fan base, as well. However, those who lose are either heckled for a while by fans of the show or, in Max's case, people started hashtags to show RuPaul and the other judges of the show that Max's elimination was not liked by most of the fans.
I will be sharing a list of my favorite "Snatch Game" impersonations. Everybody has their own opinions of what makes a good impersonation, but I am judging these based off of who has been the funniest and the most creative throughout all of the impersonations I have seen on the show. I have not seen the season 2 "Snatch Game," so unfortunately none of those queens will not be included. Not because I dislike any of them because some of my favorite queens come from that season but I have just never had the chance to watch that season.

1. Bob the Drag Queen as Uzo Aduba/Carol Channing
These "Snatch Game" impersonations have left me with tear stains on my cheeks and wanting more of these impersonations. Bob the Drag Queen is listed as number one because not only was he funny, he was able to do a complete costume change, change characterization, and keep himself hysterically funny the entire time. The Snatch Game for season 8 of "RuPaul's Drag Race" just aired this past Monday with Bob the Drag Queen as the winner of the challenge and if you have not seen it yet, make it a priority to do so.
