Posted September 13, 20231 yr Hiya This is just a separate thread to discuss the disqualification of one of the cast of UK5. As it is a sensitive subject. No other spoilers please, we will be creating a separate thread for that (with the usual tagging rule) nearer the series premiere. Spoilers relating to the disqualification can remain unmarked in this thread. Long story short it is alleged that one contestant, Crystal Lubricant, assaulted people similar to Sherry Pie from US12. As far as we are aware Crystal L will be edited out of the show as if she was never there. Tea is that she is an early out anyway so it should not require a lot of re-editing. I am not aware right now whether they will have refilmed scenes to cover over her existence or how they will handle her elimination if it is via lipsync for your life.
September 14, 20231 yr She is safe both episodes she’s in (she was disqualified between episode 2 and 3) and it’s talent show and ball for both episodes so they’re challenges she can be edited out of, I think they will have had ample time to pretty much remove her entirely as they’d be individual performances they can just skip. It would have been much harder if it was maybe girl groups or an acting skit. I expect they will have a disclaimer before the episodes she competed in, in case there’s any little mistakes or she flashes up for a second or two in a shot for example at the back of the stage in a lipsync or in the workroom, even then I’d assume they can just use close ups or camera angles to not show her. It’s really lucky for the season she didn’t do well before she went :lol: Obviously with Sherry Pie, she won challenges and was apparently the intended winner, so it was much harder to edit during airing compared to someone in 2 episodes months before it aired. We don’t know anything yet other than that’s where Crystal was disqualified and those are the challenges, but that’s my assumption. I don’t think it will be too difficult to entirely, if not mostly, remove her.
September 15, 20231 yr I’ve just seen a TikTok video of someone claiming to be a producer on the series, and that she will appear in the first two episodes, but is then called out by Ru on the main stage and disqualified. Assuming this is credible in any way, seems like she may appear as normal then and it’ll be addressed and she’ll be asked to leave…? Very odd.
September 15, 20231 yr I had a look at Crystal’s insta today - they havent posted since December but one of their recent posts is actually about the importance of consent! Joel Dommett also follows them, which I assume won’t last if there is a Sherry Pie type situation here
September 28, 20231 yr A reliable spiller has seen the episode and revealed that they’ve edited out Crystal entirely!! No disclaimer, nothing, she’s just not there at all.

September 28, 20231 yr Nope, apparently just clever editing, tbh in those cases they can just zoom in at the right times etc or have the right angles to not see her.
September 28, 20231 yr Author Did they get the Little Mix editors on the case? What's the tea on this?
September 28, 20231 yr What's the tea on this? There was this guy who digitally edited Jesy out of the Touch video lmao and it’s been a running joke since
