March 13, 20214 yr This was one of the better episodes - I really enjoyed it! I liked seeing the queens get to know each other more. I agree with the judging too for once and thought everyone was placed appropriately. I'm glad Utica/Symone won, they did so well! I thought Denali won the lip sync against Olivia tbh, so was sad/shocked to see her go! Although I guess Olivia's 2 wins might have something to do with it. I've gone off Olivia quite a lot the last few episodes.
March 13, 20214 yr Author I'll just say it, I don't think Olivia deserved either of her wins so far. I don't dislike her, and maybe it's the edit, but she seems really like... 101 level and being overpraised. Like wow, you danced disco in a disco dancing challenge and then wore a very underwhelming gown on the runway, great... Wow you performed a role with no lines in an improv challenge...
March 13, 20214 yr Yeah Olivia is giving me Naomi/Valentina teas but without the same level of talent or charisma she had. I don't hate her by any means but I do find her and Kandy overrated by production/judges.
March 13, 20214 yr It’s a shame, up until the runway this was a really enjoyable episode (bar the mini challenge which was stupid). It was great getting to spend time with the girls, especially in such unusual pairing for the most part and I think they all came out positively from it. Tina especially in her pairing with Rosé and previously with Elliott is shown to be really likeable I wish this is the Tina we saw all season. As for as the pairing go: Symone and Utica were the clear winners IMO. They both translated each other’s looks really well and helped show off an aspect that had been missing previously. It was a great pairing and so fab to see Utica get her first win and Symone cement herself as a front runner in the competition. Gottmik and Kandy were word for me, I get why they got praised, being the production favourites, and I’m not saying it’s underserved but the overall looks were lacking. I think Gottmik translated her look onto Kandy really well but I don’t think the look suited Kandy well at all not do I think she sold it like Gottmik, she sold it like Kandy. As for the reverse I did not really understand why Kandy picked that outfit when she’s not wore anything like it all season. I completely understood what Denali meant in saying it looked more like a Tina Burner look. Of course Tina doesn’t own the concept of fire but when basically every one of her looks this season have been based around those colours or that concept it just felt a very odd decision from Kandy. As for her outburst, it’s just a case one one step forward and two back. It was absolute nonsense and now that’s she’s starting to outlast front runners it’s just disheartening to watch. Rosé and Tina did fine I guess, not a fan of either of their styles but they translated both across well enough. I doubt Tina has long left in this competition and while I really like Rosé, I just don’t like her runways at all and it’s stopping me from fully rooting for her. Sadly Olivia and Denali were probably the correct bottom two though I do think Olivia was the clear bottom. I find her really odd tbh, she objectively was the one to beat going into the episode with her track record but she just has such a lack of presence. I really don’t think we’d have missed much had she left this week where as It was clear Denali has such a passion to keep going it just felt like such a wrong decision to have her go home. It felt kind of dumb reusing a lip sync track that had already been done well and I don’t think either girl surpassed the original performance but both did well enough and I thought it was close enough that either could have reasonably won. It just doesn’t sit well with me that the double save could have been used this week to save a girl that had more to show instead of the mess that we’ve ended up with. It’s weird that they got season 12 so right even with the redacted mess but just one season later they seem to f*** up at every turn. It’s just disappointing tbh.
March 13, 20214 yr I completely disagree with the Olivia comments I think she’s an absolute STAR and the only way I’d compare her to Naomi or Val is that they all seem really effortless with their drag! The disco challenge she EXUDED everything that was supposed to be the heart of that challenge and then looked stunning on the runway- albeit simple! The improv I thought she did well- would I have given her the win- probably not but across the board there weren’t many great performances so would have had it as Symone personally!
March 13, 20214 yr The More I look at Rose the more I feel bed for how bad Tina did her face eek. But In terms of pairs right bottom two i guess but i love them both
