Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Trixie Mattel recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s eighth episode, reigning champion and Mother of season 15 Sasha Colby makes her recap debut to break down this season’s “Snatch Game” performances. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.

In their recap of the episode, Sasha and Trixie have fun addressing the “unsolicited shade” of this season and how even when Plane Jane calls anyone “sister” feels like subtle shade as well. Sasha gives Jane some defense by admitting that as drag queens they all “just have a crippling desire for people to love us” and Jane is no different. When it came to the reading challenge of her season, Sasha was impressed by Loosey LaDuca and Malaysia Babydoll Foxx; this season the standouts for her were Jane and Xunami Muse.

On the topic of “Snatch Game,” Sasha shared that she also brought Robin Leach as an option for her own season and that she was scared of that challenge the most because of the “97% chance of failing.” Once again, Sasha was impressed with Jane’s impersonation and thought Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige and Sapphira Cristál did well while everyone else was “interesting.” Trixie offered the unpopular opinion that Nymphia Wind‘s impersonation of Jane Goodall turned the corner from so bad it became hilarious. They had a lot to say about Dawn‘s Meghan McCain and were legitimately surprised that she was safe instead of in the bottom. On the runway they liked Morphine Love Dion and Sapphira, but did not understand Mhi’ya’s interpretation of a 90s hip hop girl and wanted more from Jane in her ballroom presentation.
