S12, Episode 3 - "World's Worst" (May contain spoilers!!)
 

This is where they start to get sent home girls! Predictions on the first boot? :think:

Someone on Reddit who apparently saw an earlier preview said that they cut a significant chunk of Sh*rry out of this, so it looks as though the most airtime she'll be getting all season is in the pre-episode disclaimer!

Also, Widow's echo-y "these bitches" at the end of the flashback is a masterpiece in editing

they sure love spoonfeeding us the "bitter black queens" edit don't they :worry: Heidi, Widow and Jaida all getting generous morsels of it. I know you cater to the fans but maybe... change their minds and stop fueling the stereotypes, WOW? :inamood:

The teams seem fairly level although you'd think Aiden/Sherry/Brita should perform the best here. Widow/Nicky/Crystal seems the least likely to do well at improv, to me anyway (with the inevitable language problems for Nicky and a likely further "hard to work with" edit for Widow?)

I have a feeling crystal will go first.

I predict Crystal is out first, followed by Rock M Sakura, and 3rd would be Dahlia.

honestly id have put Heidi at the bottom marker too if my first impression of her was that giant mohican mess

No spoilers, but from what I'm reading this week's lip sync is... not very good!

And also the editing apparently makes no sense whatsoever because of the Sh*rry situation, so I for one cannot wait to watch :love:

The fact that the biggest source of drama so far this episode is Rock M. Sakura wanting to be an apple instead of an orange... electric chair

Between the judges forcing Crystal to change her makeup, the judges forcing Heidi to change her name and... well, literally everything the judges did this episode (did they write the improv skits by any chance? You can throw that one into the mix as well), this season is beginning to really ****ing suck! :)

Well, guess what Mimi, it wasn't!

I've only seen who won the challenge and huh...

In case anyone was worried after that challenge/lip sync that Nicky doesn't have a personality, behold her Roscoe's viewing party appearance from this week, feat. Shea, Detox and T Rex :love: it's largely all gold, but particular highlights are her inadvertently being hilarious at 58:25, and righteously calling out the travesty that is Asia O'Hara's Instagram follower count at 1:05:15!

-The lip sync was one of the worst ever tbh

-Sherry deserved her win based on the performance and the look (even though Jan's look was close second to me). It's going to be tough to watch everything fairly, but to be fair she was the best this week, along with Jackie.

-Widow calling her look "High fashion" was obviously a joke right?

-Heidi is a whole MOOD, I don't get why they keep picking on her. I love her name and she better don't change it!

-Dahlia deserved to go. She was basic, a bad temper and useless. Nicky is going to redeem herself next week. And hopefully Crystal is out next.

That ****ing challenge...I had to pause it several times so I could process what was happening.

Btw Brita looked AMAZING. The make up, the blend, the body the color on her skin. A fave of mine!

The new I shoulda been black Chyna?

The lip sync was terrible, neither knew the words, but in defence it’s probably one of the hardest songs I’ve seen on there? Can’t remember the last time they had a proper rap verse to do.

Glad Dahlia went, she was trash and her storming off just proved it

The least talented queen leaving first, we love to see it

I actually didn't mind the challenge at all, most of them done a decent at least job. It was a good runway overall as well.
Don't quite feel like Sherry deserved the win, like was she THAT much better than Brita who was only safe?
I was worried they were giving Aiden and Rock the first boot edit but I'm assuming now one of them goes next and one of them gets the underdog storyline


Oh and yeah dreadful lip-sync. What exactly were the girls in the back cheering for and the judges giggling at? Any other week it would've been a double sashay

...I didn’t mind the challenge that much, although it felt a little muddly a few times...I loved some of the buttons n bows runways...Jaida is always gorgeous, I loved her style..:love:...the other standouts were Just Jan turned Voodoo Jan, Heidi’s Pinocchio, GiGi/gorgeous, Jackie..:love:..and beautiful Brita...

..Dahlia looked gorgeous but she didn’t seem to be as talented as some of the others are, so I don’t think she was destined to go further, sadly...

So, I guess from WOW's statement, "VH1 will air the season as planned" actually meant that they're going ahead with the season generally, as oppose to cancelling it? I thought they meant the season wouldn't be re-edited, but that's obviously not the case since Sherry was barely featured this episode despite winning. It's definitely the best thing for her, but I do think it will hinder the season for as long as she's there...You can tell there was a story between Aiden, Brita & Sherry that was watered down to obvlivion.

The challenge, as I said previously, was a cluster****. It paled in comparison to The Bitchelor, Bossy Rossy, etc. simply because it was too try-hard. None of the acts were funny but just sheerly random. The challenge was said to be improv, yet i had no idea when they were actually improvising or reading lines. It was all just bizarre, and it was a bit hard to watch and get through.

Also, someone on a different forum also made a good point, which was that edit really is the main component to influence viewers that a queen did a good job. I wouldn't have a clue Sherry could potentially win until she was in the top three, but the episode really made it seem like Jackie was going to win. I really do hope that Sherry goes sooner rather than later because it's going to be a pain to watch last-minute storylines thrown together.

I think the other placements were justified. Heidi was hilarious and is fast becoming one of my favourites of all time - she's genuinely funny and sweet. The bottom three all flopped, but Dahlia was definitely the worst. You could tell she hated having to act/look silly. Everything was superficial to her and one-note, at least Nicky wanted to do something outside her comfort zone. God, that lip-syc, though, omg. Not as bad as Fame/Pearl but definitely up there. I did feel bad for Crystal as I think she's being unfairly criticised for her make-up, but her runway look was really loud and too much and she'll probably benfit from toning it down a notch (her Frieda Kahlo look at the beginning was lovely, though). I really grew to like her this episode, so hopefully she's able to gain some confidence and do well.

Also, Widow's runway look will 100% haunt me in my dreams at one point in the near future. She looked ****ing scary. Aiden's look was hideous and could have seen her in the bottom three over Crystal. Otherwise, Brita, Jan, Sherry and Gigi had gorgeous runways.

Next week's episode preview was a snooze, ngl.

Given her results on last episode and this episode, I don't think she's going anywhere anytime soon. Based on past seasons, really not many queens who did well at the beginning end up flopping fast.
No "comedy/act" queen has been crowned on a regular season since Bob (a legend) and she seems to be a good contender (by the time it was filmed, obviously) I bet she makes top 5 at least.

Just watched. First episode where the editing has been confusing, and I fear it won't be the last.

I'm getting a little bit bored of Aiden's eyerolling talking-heads already. We get it, you're not taken seriously by the other girls. Either prove them wrong or stop whining. Rock's random af gripes over which role she was handed was just as confusing and petty and ended up making no difference because Jaida's performance as it was just... fine :shrug: it was a nothing role (I like Ross Mathews but I'm getting bored of him too... the judges need to be replaced, really).

The Ornacia moment... would it have hurt to have Vivacious actually do some voice lines instead of some barely-audible nonsense? Oh that would've meant paying a black queen for her ideas, never mind.

Eh it's an episode to forget really, but I LOVED Sherry's runway. It's a sad irony that she has a huge infatuation with villains... but that look was amazing.

Dahlia's attitude rubbed me up completely the wrong way, and she now has the esteemed position of being "the queen I liked less than the sexual predator". Oh and her runway just looked sloppy and confusing to me, didn't get "sexy bunny" at all. More "wilted roadkill dipped in lilac".
