Lets start with the fight.
Thats what you all came here for, right?
A discussion of the huge, seismic blowup between top contenders that was the Arriettyvs.Crystal Envy battle royale.
Just kidding; Im of course talking about Onya and Lexis battle over a tarp.
Even Trim-gate was about the ethic of the self-governed portion of the competition.
This argument is not really that.
As for whos right, well: Lexi is, clearly.
Even when she apologizes to Lexi, she refuses to acknowledge that she messed up by not fessing up.
Instead, she just reiterates that she didnt intend to get any paint on Lexis outfit.
Overall, I hope this isnt the last we see of this conflict this season.
Itll be much more fun that way.
Other than that fight, its a pretty straightforward week.
Then, when Crystal asks her about it, Arrietty reiterates herself instead of denying it.
If Crystal had any discernible onscreen personality, this might have been interesting.
We do learn that Sams godfather is Charles Barkley, which … what?
The guest judge this week is Hunter Schafer, and the non-Ru or Michelle judge is … Law Roach?
First category is Bathing Beauties.
Buttholes many teets do not look like teets to me.
Sam wears a supremely polished yellow cover-up-to-bikini look that made me fall asleep.
Wear something telegenic, just!
Onyas wig is tough, but the white suit is cute.
I dont fully understand why Arrietty is blue, but I also didnt care because she looked gorgeous.
Suzies 20s mustachioed look is adorable and very Suzie.
Acacias look is boring.
Lexi does a naked look with an elaborate merkin that is absolutely fabulous.
Hormonas look is fine.
Lana uses the opportunity to show off her body, but the actual outfit doesnt amount to much.
Crystal is a puffer fish and wears shoes that reference Alexander McQueens famous armadillo shoes.
I love the wig, and the outfit is really fun.
Jewels is a Mugler-y Spanish Dancer fish, and this look is one of my favorites of the night.
Again, I love this flip wig with it.
Buttholes anglerfish puppet does not appeal to me.
Onyas African sea star isincredible.
That pant shape is remarkable.
Best runway of the night, best runway so far this season.
Suzies Yayoi Kusamainspired octopus is great, and the way her beehive mimics the octopuss shape is smart.
Koris I dont love.
Its not bad, but the wet hair is like, okay.
Lexi, unsurprisingly, looks great, though I think a jellyfish outfit could have a riskier silhouette.
Hormonas look is fine.
Finally, we reach the Werk Room looks.
Crystals pink-and-yellow gown is beautiful.
Its just a little … frantic.
Buttholes silver outfit is really ugly, and she should have been in the bottom.
Sams trash-bag-covered gown is very well done.
When you blur your eyes, you really cant tell its trash.
Onyas seaweed-covered, bottom-of-the-ocean couture is definitely safe.
Arrietty looks amazing in a pink-and-blue coral-reef-inspired two-piece.
She could wear this on a non-self-made runway.
Koris is significantly better than her last design attempt.
Glad to see her improving.
Lexis look is a tarp.
Hormonas look is fine.
Lanas look is essentially nothing.
Seriously, what is it?
What is happening here?
Its just … pasted together?
Arrietty ends up winning the week, and there was really no other choice.
She was clearly far out ahead of all competition.
Nominally with her in the top are Sam and Crystal.
Its time the show remembers that.
Acacia, Hormona, and Lana are in the bottom, with Lana as the clear worst.
Ultimately, Acacia is saved, which I think is a mistake.
Always send the boring girl home first.
So Hormona goes home, again.
RIP to a real one.
I would have saved her over Acacia this time, but its not my call.
Laws monologue to Sam about cocaine is confusing and probably unhelpful if youre Sam, but I was entertained.
Arrietty appears to have a completed story line, and next week is Snatch Game.
Theres a mini-challenge this week involving famed robot Norvina.
I found Acacias confessional about how ugly everybody elses outfit is amazing.
Where has this girl been?
Bring her out more!
Trauma Makeup Corner:No time!
I, clearly, would say Arrietty.
My boyfriend agreed that Onya is the cutest while also noting that Sam Star is cute but too much.
My dear Jake noted that I think mine is Kori, but no talking and NO Dunkin Donuts.
Predicted top four:Onya, Lexi, Sam, and Suzie.
