Please see the 2-page handout at:

in a quest to be the best in the world. One of the more popular
segments in "RuPaul's Drag Race" is the Snatch Game, where queens do
their best (and sometimes worst) celebrity impressions. In this
round, we'll give you the name of the queen *and* who they're
impersonating; you tell us which image they are.

*Note*: The same celebrity may be impersonated more than once on
the handout; and the numbers are to the *left* of the images.

good human being won the O. Henry Award in 1980 for his
short-story collection "Side Effects".
