"My Dearest Yuhua Hamasaki, your Ayu impersonation was a bit 'ew you'. I'm sorry my dear but you are up for elimination."

or

"My Dearest Yuhua Hamasaki, in the couture challenge your outfit was a bit Alvin... Oh. You're safe."

I could keep going on and on with this lol

Well, finally a queen with some taste! But for real though, that's awesome! I hope she brings something Ayu-inspired to the runway.

Seriously... I would scream if she channels Ayu at some point on the show... I cannot wait. All Stars 3 is a blast but I cannot wait for it to end. Just let Shangela win and lets move on

I'm already over AS3 after last night's episode, so I feel. Shangie def deserves that crown.

Anyway, so excited for Yuhua! I could totally see her doing a look inspired by the ourselves PV.

I could see her channeling some ayu as inspiration, but there’s no way she’s get away with doing ayu on The Snatch Game - nobody would get the references, and that’s pretty much what it’s all about.

I love this show! I would like to see a look inspired by Ayu whether on the runway or in a challenge.

Characters like Mae West, Little Richie, Little Edie, Suze Orman and Paul Lynde also scored high at snatch game and there are not many who know these celebrities and their gimmicks. Sure, doing Ayu at snatch game won't happen but it is not impossible.

As long as you make them funny, you'll be fine. Ayu's kind of easy to make funny in some ways but comebacks/jokes will be hard to land unless you wanna be safe and end up with a Kimmy Jong Illuh or whatever.

The judges know who they are though. I highly doubt RuPaul’s crew is familiar with nuances in Ayu’s persona enough, if at all, to find any imitations or jokes she might try to land funny or entertaining.

Since trance and eurobeat are not popular like they were years ago, it would probably be edm versions of her songs. Or she would just stick to tradition. I'm always ready for more Ayu trance.
That is so cool! (Wish I could watch the video but it's not available in my location).

They are all either part of the history of american lgbt pop culture or of the current american pop culture. Ayumi is not a part of their culture at all.

Right?
Snatch Game runs by rule of being funny, so as long as she can be funny she should be okay.

^The thing is, it helps being funny when the judges know the references well enough to get the jokes. Snatch Game's humour is mostly referential.

They don't know Ayu, they don't know the references. The jokes would either get lost or Ayu would become a random asian person, something that would most likely end in some fucked up racist thing.

About Manila's Imelda Marcos, it's important to remember that she had 2 things on her favour:
a) Imunity, so she could fuck it up and she wouldn't be on the bottom
b) Mariah, Yara, Delta.

She could "flesh her character out", so to speak. The obscure picks of some of the previous contestants stood out by the #choices of characterization that were taken. And while there have been insensitive portrayals of asian on the show before, I tend to look at it as something that reflects the individuals and not the essence of the "Snatch Game" (that wordplay is terrible, ugh).

^But Ru and Michele at least were aware of the characters, and this helped several jokes land. In the end of the day, they are the ones you must impress to succeed.
