Has it always been fun?
Have the challenges always been thrilling?
Have the looks always beensickening?
but fake it til you make it, or whatever.
to check on the girls.
It should quite literally beillegalto (metaphorically) show hog like that on international TV.
On the runway, the category is Hows your head …
piece?, which is a wee bit genius.
Lets evaluate, one by one.
Karen From FinanceHeading into the competition, there was nobody better placed to win than Karen From Finance.
Shes funny, shes beloved, and shes known in the U.S., which gives her a big advantage.
But come talent show time, she … pulls it off!
(Her strange, glamorous runway also does a lot to show off Karens sense for fashion.)
Luckily, her Rodarte-inspired dress is gorgeous, and the judges love her this week.
(Also, Ru hates magic, which actually confuses me a little.)
But seriously, howdidshe do that?
Its a question many might be asking themselves come crowning time next week.
Her robot runway is camp and hardly revolutionary, but consistency is Kitas game, not showstoppers.
Does she have a chance at winning?
I dont think so, even though her pole act shows off some genuinely exceptional skill.
Elektra ShockIn many ways, Elektra is already a winner.
(Something something something massive growth, haha, whatever.)
(Her Liza Minellistyle runway is lovely, though!)
During critiques, Ru asks the dreaded question: Who should go home and why?
As often happens, all the focus is on one queen: Elektra.
Its gutting to see Kita have to throw her employee under the bus like that, too.
In Untucked, the Veronicas FaceTime in (!)
Interestingly, they ask who deserves the crown, and every queen, slightly, says another girls name.
Theyre left with parting advice: A well-placed slut drop can save the show at the last minute.
As such, its time for us to say good-bye.
Only time will tell.
Until then, remember: A well-placed slut drop can save a show at the last minute.
