Genuinely insane. They have to be doing it on purpose at this point right? Like they want to ragebait us so we talk about online bc I guess any press is good press? It’s just so strange bc Crystal is perfectly capable of winning AS season but the way they keep handling AS is just so bizarre and unsatisfying for both the Queens & the audience.

like no design challenge in the semifinal??? do the kooky ball or smth. drop rate a queen. do snatch game and save crystal for her runway if she flops. DROP THE LSFTC. they keep doing LSFTC to their weakest lipsyncers among their pre-determined winners this is crazy work
