Jinkx Monsoonalready perfected theSnatch Gameonce.
(Talk about quite the scandal!)
The expectations couldnt have been higher for Jinkx on theall-winnersAll StarsSnatch Game, yet somehow she delivered evenmore.
Now, just three episodes intoAll Stars 7, Jinkx is at the top of the competition.
ball look, and overall being enough of a threat to earn her first block.
Vulture caught up with Jinkx to talk looks, her blocking strategy, and all thingsSnatch Game.
I want to start with this weeks episode.
We as viewers know, as you said, that youre not the biggest design queen.
At the same time, you knew that the ball challenge was going to happen.
There was so much to focus on that I really wanted to lean into my strengths.
I mean, I loved my executive-realness look, so whatever.
I patted myself on the back to at least make it there.
So congratulations on your first win for that wildly fantasticSnatch Gameperformance.Thank you so much.
Our recapper mentioned all these other impressions that you do: Bette Davis, Liza, Joan Cusack.
Judy had not been done onSnatch Gameand is this iconic figure in queer culture.
Did you have any reluctance or trepidation?I dont know that I had reluctance or trepidation.
I love that drag queens get to keep certain aspects of queer culture alive.
We take iconic moments in queer history and remind our audiences of them.
So that was my thought behind Little Edie, and that was my thought behind Judy Garland as well.
You also made a lot of great jokes along the way.
And Frank Sinatras penis was so big, yada yada yada.
And that really cracked Ru up, but it was just a rehashing of the joke.
Personally, I thought it was really funny to do the exact same joke again with one detail changed.
So I really wanted to get some of Judy singing in there.
But, you know, you have to be smart about what you sing on TV.
In this weeks episode, theres this moment when you turn down an alliance with Trinity and Monet.
My blocking strategy is simply to even the odds.
