It was a thrilling episode, serving as redemption for Megami and a capper on Morphines story line.
A true five-star episode.
There were alotof high-level lip-syncers in that cast, particularly among the girls who had been sent home.
Im remembering this season for the queens interpersonal dynamics.
So … does it work?
Those interpersonal dynamics are still on full display, lending stakes to nearly all the lip syncs.
The episode opens on the queens all entering the Werk Room together, months after the initial filming.
I think the show should have filmed the top four following Suzies elimination, but hey, whatever.
That seems approximate to me.
Not afforded any real updates are Crystal, Acacia, and Lana.
Arrietty apologizes to Onya.
Okay, on to what everybody is here for: the lip syncs!
Most girls choose to pick the song.
Neither queen does great, but Lydia certainly does better.
Its kind of mean, but also classic Suzie to just go for the easy target.
Fate then kindly grants her Acacia, who we know is not a strong lip-syncer.
Lucky winzzz, cementing the first true redemption of the episode.
Its the Boston in her.
Ru picks Kori, which the girls are gagged by, but I do think its the right pick.
Sometimes, you just dont want that level of mania.
Crystal:Finally, its a rematch between Lana and Crystal.
The moment when Crystal cant say her exit line is funny.
Lucky vs. Suzie:On to the semifinals.
The first matchup is Lucky vs. Suzie, and Lucky gets song choice, going with We Found Love.
Suzie, meanwhile, sticks to simply acting the song.
Her stanky leg is stupid, though.
Look: Its not a great lip sync, but Suzie wins it.
Lana vs. Lydia vs. Kori:Ugh, this is where they kinda lose me.
I hate three-way lip syncs.
But to have the penultimate lip sync be a three-way … its tough.
Its really hard to get a handle on who wins it.
Ru chooses Kori: Sure!
Still, I think if it were a two-queen competition, Lydia could have taken it.
Suzie vs. Kori:Finally, Suzie and Kori face off to Rose and Bruno Marss APT.
Its a good lip sync!
And so, the winner of the LaLaPaRuza is … Suzie Toot?
Glad I watched it.
On to the finale.
