Top 10 Best Snatch Game Performances on RuPaul's Drag Race UK

Series 6
After discovering she and Lill had prepared the same character for Snatch Game, Charra Tea lived up to her Miss Congeniality title and graciously switched gears. With a little nudge from Mama Ru, she made the mind-boggling choice of portraying Irish singer Nadine Coyle auditioning as Mary Poppins. Charra fully embraced the absurdity, while doing her best to remind the audience at every turn that this was not Mary Poppins, but actually Nadine Coyle. Her responses were sharp, hilarious and seamlessly balanced both personas without ever getting muddled. This was a gamble that could have crashed spectacularly, but Charra reminded us why risks are sometimes worth it.

Series 5
Robin Williams’ Mrs. Doubtfire is one of the most iconic drag portrayals in movie history, so it was only a matter of time before the character showed up on the Snatch Game. While most queens meticulously prepare and come armed with well-rehearsed answers, Tomara Thomas threw everything at the wall, hoping something would stick. And plenty did. She delivered a rapid-fire stream of laugh-out-loud expressions, and every response out of her mouth was in a new and increasingly ridiculous accent. As if that wasn’t enough, she pulled out a prop that cranked up the comedy several notches. Though she didn’t quite clinch the top spot, Tomara’s natural wit won her well-deserved praise from the judges.

Series 4
The beauty of picking an ancient character for Snatch Game is that you have free rein to portray them as wild as you want. Cheddar Gorgeous did just that with her bonkers take on Queen Elizabeth I, or should we say “the Thirst.” Decked out in red curly hair, a ruffled gown and teeth that looked like they had seen better centuries, Cheddar reimagined the “Virgin Queen” as both chaste and sexually experienced. No one was safe from her acerbic tongue – not Ru, not Michelle, and definitely not her unlucky cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots. Unsurprisingly, Cheddar snatched the win. After all, who dares cross the queen known for her notoriously short fuse?

To win Snatch Game, you have to play entirely for an audience of one: RuPaul. Ginger Johnson knew this well when she chose to portray the prolific romance novelist Dame Barbara Cartland purely to win favor with the host… and it worked. But that doesn’t mean she didn’t also come fully prepared. Ginger had the characterization down to a tee, from her wacky accent to the outrageous makeup and that gloriously gaudy hat. Her quips had everyone in stitches, and she wasted no time reigniting her feud with fellow romance queen Jackie Collins. This performance earned Ginger her third consecutive challenge win, and was the perfect setup for her ultimately clinching the crown.

Series 3
Series 3 runner-up Ella Vaday originally had a different character in mind for the Snatch Game, but a quick chat with RuPaul in the werkroom changed everything. She switched to celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, and we couldn’t be more thankful that she did. Ella fully embodied Lawson’s signature quirks, delivering off-the-cuff zingers with a perfectly-timed wry smile. She nailed Lawson’s iconic mispronunciations, turning “microwave” to “mee-cro-wah-vay” and even mangling RuPaul’s name for extra laughs. Her wit didn’t just shine in her own answer; she also volleyed brilliantly with her fellow contestants and the celebrity guests. It was a calm, confident and captivating performance that solidified Ella Vaday as the queen to beat.

Series 6
Choosing the King of Rock and Roll for Snatch Game comes with sky-high expectations, but eventual series 6 winner Kyran Thrax certainly rose to the challenge. Kyran nailed every single detail of her Elvis Presley impression, from the look to the voice and even to his hypnotic hip swing. But she didn’t forget the comedy. Kyran delivered punchlines that landed, but also physical bits like biting off her card because her response made her hungry. She made for the perfect comedic partner too, as she bounced off La Voix in a way that made their season-long playful rivalry shine. It’s not like we needed this performance to confirm that Kyran was a star, but it sure gave us a solid reminder.

Series 2
In Series 2 of “Drag Race UK,” Bimini returned from the COVID lockdown break with a fire lit under her perfectly padded behind. And she made that abundantly clear with her Snatch Game impression of Katie Price. Rocking a pink tracksuit and matching tiara, as only The Pricey would, Bimini kicked off with a bang, dropping perhaps the most quotable line in “Drag Race UK” history. What made this performance particularly brilliant was how she took real-life moments from Price’s life, and hilariously flipped them on their heads. She joked about her implants getting “held at gunpoint in South Africa,” and that she “caught her horse cheating” again. Even Katie Price herself gave Bimini the ultimate seal of approval.

Series 6
We’ve seen many Liza Minnelli impressions on Snatch Game. And while two queens who previously tackled her have snatched the win, La Voix took things to a whole new level. She didn’t just catch every joke that came her way. She grabbed it, twisted it into something even funnier and left everyone roaring with laughter. Her responses were hilarious all on their own, but that didn’t stop her from adding some backstory for extra flair. La Voix worked the room like a pro, riffing off other queens, most notably her best Judy, Kyran Thrax. She even had props to sell the full comedic fantasy. This truly was a testament to La Voix’s charm, experience and polished wit.

Series 1
Snatch Game is less about nailing a perfect celebrity impression and more about cracking RuPaul up. Baga Chipz understood the assignment with her take on Margaret Thatcher. Sporting glowing red eyes, fanged teeth and a perpetually horrified expression, Baga didn’t just deliver a stellar performance, she served up a scathing political satire of the Iron Lady. Her jokes were sharp, timely and teetered right up to the line without ever crossing it. Fortunately, The Vivienne brought her own controversial political figure to the panel, and the two sparred like diplomats in a comedic war of words. Bag later proved she wasn’t a flash in the pan, as her Kathy Bates impression secured her another Snatch Game win on the “UK vs. the World” series.

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

While Baga Chipz threw accuracy out of the window, The Vivienne snatched it up with both hands. The Liverpool queen didn’t just impersonate U.S. president Donald Trump, she became him. Vivienne nailed Trump’s distinctive voice, wild hand gestures and of course, the orange tan. It’s no news that Donald Trump is an easy target, but parodying him with such finesse, while weaving in infamous moments like his inauguration crowd size and his alleged “pee tape,” was simply chef’s kiss. As earlier mentioned, she found the perfect partner in Baga Chipz’s Margaret Thatcher, volleying back absurd responses at her with ease. This wasn’t just an impression, it was a masterclass in Snatch Game excellence, setting a bar so high it’s still untouchable. Though the world lost her in 2025, the Vivienne’s ability to make us laugh will never be forgotten.
