Hi ugly, it’s me, Bussy. And welcome back to Hot or Rot. And today we’ll be reviewing
episode 8 of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 6. Today our queens were challenged
to impersonate celebrities in Snatch Game of Love. And on the runway the category was Pop Art.
Justice for Art Pop. And in addition to breaking all of that down we’ll also be taking a look at
Ru Paul’s laugh score for the Snatch Game. Which is a metric that I made up representing
the percentage of times that Ru Paul laughed at a queen’s response during Snatch Game.
And then at the end of today’s video, we’ll be taking a deeper look at the edit and deciding:
was Snatch Game fair? But first a quick message from today’s video sponsor.

And now, let’s get started. First up in group number one vying for the heart of
Cheyenne Jackson, who isn’t, it’s Ginger Minj. Her Snatch Game character was Phyllis
Diller. I hardly know her. And for those of you that don’t know, Phyllis is like the OG comedy
queen, credited for inspiring iconic comedy legends like Jaan Rivers and Ellen DeGeneres.
And one of my favorite things about Phyllis is you look back at one of her old performance
videos and she’s always wearing some like crazy outfits. She was very often the butt of her own
jokes which allowed her to then make fun of others. Cause if you can’t laugh at yourself,
how the hell you gonna laugh at anybody else? Can I get an amen? That’s why I look in the mirror at
least three times a day. Anyways, let’s break it down. Jan! Wait what? The show aired Ginger
giving 13 responses during Snatch Game, 12 of which we saw Ru Paul laugh at. This gives
her an RLS of 92%. Objectively speaking, Ginger did amazing tonight. But subjectively speaking,
I also think she did amazing. I think Ginger was the only queen who fully embodied her character
in such a way that she was ready for anything Ru Paul or her queens next to her could throw
at her. Like girl she was cracking one liners left right and center. Say crack again. This was Hot.
And on the runway, she’s the first queen to take us to the Wor-hole tonight. Ow ow. Andy Worhol
that is. I love that her runway is BYOF. Bring Your Own Frame. She is the artist, the art, the
muse, and the actual piece in the museum tonight. It is the details on this look for me tonight. I
love the alternating colors of the boots, and the gloves, like a new color on each limb, I’m
gagged. I also think she was the only one to truly bring pop art into her hair. Like can we just have
a little moment of appreciation for that? And I would have loved to have seen it on the face and
the makeup as well, but she did so much tonight on the runway and this is great for Ginger because it
is a campy category, she’s a campy queen, and I think she absolutely nailed it. This look is Hot.
Next up, in group number one, Trinity K. Bonet. For Snatch Game she did the one, the only,
Whitney. I really truly was sitting there with my fingers crossed, hoping and praying
she would have a redemption moment on Snatch Game tonight, but girl, prayers went unanswered.
This was um, floppy onto the third degree, which was a shame to see because she’s had so many
great redemptions with the comedy and acting this season, but now for the second time when
she’s trying to recreate that magic live, well, it fizzles out. I think she was lucky she came
into this episode off the back of her second win in the competition technically a front runner. But
you know what they say, the higher they love, the harder they fall. The show aired Trinity giving
seven total responses, the least of any queen tonight, and should Ru Paul laughing at one
and a half of those responses, I did give her a half credit point there because there was like
an awkward chuckle that Ru gave to her intro, I think a pity chuckle if you will, and given
those numbers, her RLS tonight is about 21%. I have to agree with the math here. She wasn’t
funny. Her performance gave me nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Y’all already know, but this is a Rot.
However on the runway, another day, another slay. Oh my god, Trinity! It isn’t this point in the
competition comical to me how effortless Trinity is making these runways look compared to what the
other girls are giving. Simply put, she’s been in a league of her own for a while in the runway and
she took tonight’s category pop art and flipped it on it’s god damn head. She did exactly what
I wanna see from a queen on Ru Pau’s Drag Race All Stars. She took the category, made it modern,
brought it into her own brand, and then also brought a social message with it. Of course,
honoring Black Lives Matter in both the words on her dress and the sign
that she’s actually carrying, and you know I hate to get political on here,
but black lives do matter and it’s really important that we keep this cause alive,
because if we forget history, it will only repeat itself. So say it with me:
Black Lives Matter. Also, Trinity was the only queen to integrate the pop art into her makeup.
Trinity said it best, you can be sickening and political at the same damn time. This look is Hot.
And finally rounding out our first Snatch Game of Love group we have Kylie Sonique Love. She
was working 9-5 in this challenge as Dolly Parton. Side note: go watch that movie if you haven’t seen
it, it’s worth it just for the references alone. And I think Dolly was the perfect choice for
Kylie tonight because of that soft spoken country voice that she already has in her arsenal. Drag
Race aired 10 of her responses and showed Ru Paul laughing at 9 of them giving her an RLS of 90%.
I will say I was pleasantly surprised joke after joke with Kylie. I was like oh my god
I didn’t know she could be that funny. Because she really I think has been holding some of that
natural comedian ability back but now that we are seeing her break out of her shell
it’s just really fun to see. And I suppose it’s only fitting that Miss
Love would succeed at Snatch Game of Love, right? This performance was Hot.
And on the runway, giiirl, something could art pop out at any second. Front back side, she said skin
skin skin. This is another look kind of like her hot tropics runway that she did where it almost
looks modest at first and then she starts spinning around and you’re like ope, ope, ope. This is a
great look on her, it’s Kylie Sonique Love branded and also touches the theme maybe just enough here
tonight. Cause this isn’t really a runway category that I would immediately go to like spot with. But
Kylie did, she went there, and I think it paid off, because this outfit does look very much like
a branded Kylie Sonique Love original. My only critique on this look is going to be the hair.
I just don’t understand why she went into the next decade with this, giving us as she says,
almost Jessica Rabbit, but it’s also very shag and mullet-esque. I just feel with this
dress and with the look she was serving, it would have made a million times mores sense
to go ahead and go with the Marilyn Monroe bob especially considering the category is art pop,
and she’s like a fixture of Andy Worhol’s art, right?. Anyways, I digress. This look is Hot.
Next up, the first queen vying for the love of Fortune Feimster, Eureka. Filth is her life,
she is impersonating Divine tonight, and girl, if y’all had to tell me this was Divine herself
I would have believed you. The illusion I think is the best of all of the queens tonight,
but the performance she gave was a little hit or miss. I guess they never miss, huh? You got
a boyfriend but he doesn’t kiss ya. Mwah. That was for all my Tik Tokers. They aired 11 of Eureka’s
responses tonight and showed Ru Paul laughing at 7 of them, giving her a modest RLS of about 63%.
And I think the issue Eureka had tonight in Snatch Game was struggling to balance actual Divine
quotes being raunchy, and then integrating those really outlandish ideas and thoughts
into the flow of natural conversation, cause it’s not very easy to integrate you know,
eating babies into a Snatch Game of Love, or any conversation for that matter, but
it’s Divine. And while I do think Eureka could have taken this even further or maybe
just integrated the character better into the situations that were given, I think it was Hot.
And on the runway, she took the Ginger route, she also printed her face off
onto a dress and onto a bag that she’s carrying. Eureka gave us face, face, face,
face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face, face. Now available
on iTunes. This look, I kinda liked at first, but the longer I kept my eyes on it, the more
details I found that I was just like eh. For example the white buttons going down the middle,
very 60s very Maude, but it also kinda looked like a clown schmock. And then I was looking
at the makeup and I was like how does this kinda avant-garde futuristic almost make up really fit
into art pop? And then why does she have this kind of like Valleys of the Doll-esque wig,
you know it was all in the same decade, but does it all really go together? No I don’t
think so. And let me be clear: was this a bad look? No, but I just don’t like it. It’s a Rot.
Next up, Fortune does not favor the box. It’s Pandora. She did Kim Cattrall tonight from
[_] and the City and girl was this tough to watch. But here’s why: the show aired
Pandora giving 11 responses in Snatch Game and showed Ru Paul laughing at 0 of them.
Giving her an RLS of 0! I was like girl the editors didn’t even give her a pity
chuckle like they gave miss Trinity doing Whitney. That was harsh. And while the edit
does emphasize that she wasn’t funny, I think the bigger problem was that she
simply wasn’t funny. Doing Kim Cattrall should have been easy. Like I felt like
I was watching Kim Cattrall have a polite dinner with family rather than watching her talk about
[_]s at brunch. [_] and the city girl. Anyways, Pandora’s Kim was dry kinda like your [_].
And on the runway, we’ve got another one, another one, another one, DJ Khaled!
It is so funny to me that with this iconic art movement, three queens of our six chose to do
like the exact same look. And it’s possible here that they were each caught in the trap of thinking
I’m going to do the obvious thing because nobody’s going to do the obvious thing
because it’s the obvious thing so they all ended up doing the obvious thing. Anyways,
as for Pandora’s alone considered by itself despite the other two identical looks tonight,
I liked the unique use of her name both as a headpiece and on the box that she’s
actually carrying down the runway. And I think the cape was also a high point here.
That’s where she put her face instead of on the actual dress she was wearing but girl inside of
that cape, girl that is Rot City [_]. Rot City [_], Rot Rot City [_]. I think I hate this so
much on the inside because of the WAP that she wrote on it seemingly at the last second. It’s
very strange and misplaced here. Because she has enough action word bubbles integrated throughout
her outfit already I’m like girl why did you need that too? It’s too much. I will give her
cape and accessories a Hot tonight. But the dress and the boots make it an overall Rot.
And finally tonight we have Raja O’Hara.
In Snatch Game she was impersonating Ru’s long time good Judy La’Toya Jackson. Wooo
what’s worse? My impersonation of LaToya Jackson or my actual laugh. First I had to commend the
illusion that she did the eyes and nose makeup. Girl, I was like oh she really did sinch pinch
and gave me those oogly boogly eyes that LaToya has, living for that. But did she have jokes?
The show aired 11 of her responses tonight and showed Ru Paul laughing at 7 of them,
giving her an identical laugh score of about 63%, same as Eureka. I did enjoy her performance ana
I think it got better as the Snatch Game went on like she really settled into the character,
but I also think she was super lucky that Ru Paul gave her that joke setup before the whole thing
started, you know the one that she used like three different times. I’m a cat lover but I’m allergic.
I do consider myself a fitness expert but I don’t workout. Because those are some of her funniest
lines, and had Ru not given her the setup, she might not have been able to execute. That’s
all I’m sayin. And all things considered, I think Raja in Snatch Game was a tepid Hot.
But on the runway, girl, this is giving me grimace, this is giving me happy meal,
I’m so sorry sweetie, I’m so sorry, but also I’m not. I’m gonna guess here that Raja either
ran out of looks, or something happened to her original one, because this is just
seemingly like a hodge podge collection of random things from her closet. The boots we’ve already
seen on her entrance look. And like Pandora, she has on like some last minute action word,
like hastily written to the front of her little body suit which frankly doesn’t fit very well
here. I’m thinking girl they really were backstage five minutes before curtain call adding things to
their looks and it did not improve it. I will say the jacket that she’s wearing with her face on it
is very cute and she’s got her own little fan but like is any of this pop art? No it’s not. Not only
do I not think so, but it’s not. Not by a mile. I’m sorry Raja but I’m not gagging. This is a Rot.
So our win tonight goes to Ginger Minj, this is her second win of the season,
and a very cool win because it’s also her second Snatch Game win being the second queen to ever
win two rounds of Snatch Game, the first being Bindela. And I ultimately do agree with this
decision. I think Ginger was the only one that fully embodied her character 1000% and was ready
at every turn and corner for whatever was thrown at her. But I do think looking at the edit is
super important in Snatch Game to determine if what we saw was actually a fair representation
of what occurred. The show aired more responses from Ginger than any other queen tonight. 13 by my
count and Ru laughed at all but one of them which was really just like a lead in to another joke
anyways. If I had seen 13 responses from someone who was really just as funny, Kylie, I might be
thinking Kylie should have won. And I think we can apply that same logic to our bottom two tonight.
I feel like the edit very much justified and even maybe over-emphasized that Pandora should
be eliminated tonight. She had 11 responses, none of which Ru laughed at, and her bottom
two partner Trinity, they showed her responses the least, kind of hiding her from the viewer’s eye.
But I’m also curious what y’all are thinking. Did Snatch Game feel fair to you? Let me know
down in the comments below. And as for the lip sync, Ginger goes against Heidi. Yes, the one
from the closet. She came out with the whole world on her head, of course giving a reference to her
look from her original season and unfortunately it came crashing down on her. Concerning the lip sync
performance the two queen’s gave: I’ll be honest it was a tough one for me because I feel like
they kind of over-emphasized the thing falling off of Heidi’s head. Which was really just a
RuVeal that happened accidentally too early it looked like. I really just don’t think what we
saw was a fair cut of the lip sync because every time Heidi sort of busting out the moves it seemed
like they would cut over to Ginger. And don’t get me wrong, she did a great job too, but maybe
there was more to see is all I’m sayin. As always, you can catch my full reaction over
at Patreon at patreon.com/bussyqueen. That’s my members-only website where my Patreon family gets
exclusive videos, early access to my videos, access to the Bussy Queen discord server and more.
Click the link in the description of this video to join today. See ya there. So Ginger wins and ends
up eliminating Pandora. Ultimately I do think her time on the season was up and this was the
correct decision. I would have done the same thing here. But it was super sad to see her go because I
love this queen so much and I have so much respect for them so please everybody go show Pandora and
honestly all of our queens from All Stars some love tonight. Everybody say love. But let me know
what you thought. Did Ginger deserve the win? Did she win the lip sync and who would you have
put in the bottom two tonight and who would you have eliminated? Sound off in the comments below.
And finally, drum roll please, it’s time for a game within a game. A game we play every
week called Hottest Hot. My Hottest Hot on the runway tonight goes to Trinity K. Bonet. I also
asked my Patrons to vote for their Hottest Hot and this week they’ve chosen Trinity K.
Bonet. Great minds think alike. And my Hottest Hot in the Snatch Game goest to Ginger Minj.
My Patrons however voted for Kylie Sonique Love. And side note: but is anyone else tired of the
game within a game thing? I feel like it could have been really cool had they introduced it on
episode two or three. But eight episodes in, I’m like girl we know it’s not a game within a game,
because a game within a game would have been happening parallel and alongside to the original
game that was gaming. Instead Ru Pau’s just been blue [_]ing us for eight weeks now.
