Kristen Stewart and Kate McKinnon Go at It With Their Thumbs!

Saturday Night Live

Stewart's last appearance on Saturday Night Live was super queer and it looks as though this weekend's hosting gig could match it.

When Kristen Stewart hosted Saturday Night Live on Super Bowl Sunday 2017, she kicked off her monologue by saying Donald Trump wouldn't like her because, "I'm like so gay, dude." She followed that up by playing a French woman whose magnetism attracted Vanessa Bayer's cheerful housewife in a faux Totino's commercial.

With Stewart's next SNL hosting gig just a few days away, she and Kate McKinnon are already amping up the tension for queer women in a promo in which they propose a thumb war.

The spot begins with Stewart recording a voice-over promo for the episode while McKinnon taunts her.

"Great job, Kristen, but I think we all know who the king of this castle is," McKinnon challenges while taking a long drag on a smoke.

"You've been here before? You know the drill," McKinnon adds.

"Yeah," Stewart responds defiantly before they engage in the start of a thumb war.

Check out the tension and find out who wins below.
