RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 is that girl you knew she was! Does that intro make any sense? No, but it’s a classic Drag Race quote, so it’ll do — or “daddledoo,” because I want to end this paragraph with a deep cut Canada’s Drag Race quote.

Last week saw the queens tackle a major challenge in The Sound of Rusic. While the entire cast definitely ate at the smörgåsbord, it was Plasma who left no crumbs by dominating every scene. It truly was her time to shine — she’s the season’s musical theatre queen, after all. This week’s challenge gives the queens zero time for a break, because they’re going from the Rusical to the hardest challenge of the season: Snatch Game.
