Zap2it couldn’t wait to see what Season 8’s contestants had in store, so we got an exclusive preview of Monday (April 4) episode. In the video, Naomi Smalls, Bob the Drag Queen and Derrick Barry discuss which celebrity they are going to impersonate. Smalls is thinking of doing Whoopi Goldberg’s character from “The Color Purple,” and she’s got it down.
But then Bob, who at first was thinking of doing Crazy Eyes from “Orange is the New Black,” starts to second-guess his decision to play Uzo Aduba’s award-winning role. She starts waffling between Crazy Eyes and Carol Channing, or Crazy Eyes and his favorite Whoopi role.
“Bob basically has like 10 characters he can possibly do,” Barry says, exasperated. “All of a sudden, he’s got the ‘Sister Act’ outfit on …” which makes Smalls super nervous and intimidated.
Also getting frustrated is Robbie Turner. “He’s changed his character like 90 times.”
“It’s going to be The Whoopi Game, not the Snatch Game,” Acid Betty says.
Who will decide the Season 8 winner of Snatch Game? Guest judges this week include models Gigi Hadid and Chanel Iman, along with show regulars Carson Kressley and Michelle Visage.
Also, don’t flip the channel after Monday’s episode! There is going to be a special presentation of the GLAAD Media Awards afterwards, which will include appearances by Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas, Ruby Rose, Queen Latifah and Caitlyn Jenner. The awards handed out will honor the LGBT media images that accelerate acceptance. “RuPaul” judge Ross Mathews is hosting, while Kressley conducts exclusive backstage interviews.
“RuPaul’s Drag Race” airs Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Logo.
GLAAD Media Awards airs immediately following “RuPaul’s Drag Race” at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Logo.
