Thoughts on the episode:
- It was the correct bottom two, but I would've sent Monet home. She should've been B2 last week over Valentina, and would've had the worse track record. Latrice should've been top 2 in the first week (with Gia), which would've erased her "lukewarm" presence others have bemoaned. Monet's Kim K dress was botched and really... not that funny or iconic or interesting to look at.
- Everyone was decent in the challenge but I was really impressed by Naomi's performance, she did good. Manila and Monique were obviously great but I would've been pissed off to be in a team with Monique. She isn't diplomatic with sharing lines at all, and that voice... oy vey.
- Trinity was a little bit of a let-down, and her and Valentina only really saved themselves with the fighting scenes. I thought the criticisms Latrice and Monet got were a little bit... "Thorgy Thor being told off for not having much to work with in AS3".
- The deliberations were emotional but I don't know why Latrila got such scrutiny for "she just wants to save her friend
" when Monique was literally doing the same for Monet... I can see why Latrice's attitude might've rubbed up some the wrong way (saying she was the most beloved queen, etc.) but...ugh I love Monet but she just doesn't wow me at all like Latrice does. She is just... Bob's boring sister.
- I am 300% over Valentina's hogging of the cameras. Aside from her brilliant Into You lipsync, I am actively rooting for her to sashay away.
Best runways: Manila and Trinity
Worst runways: Monet and Valentina (THAT. WAS. UGLY. AND. NOTHING. TO. DO. WITH. CURVES & SWERVES. It was a fashion editorial runway theme and a ****ing ugly one at that.)
