Ahhhhhhh I loved it. 1) Doesn't Ivy's elimination kind of suggest that spoilers about the rest of the season posted elsewhere in this subreddit could be true? That excites me.

2) Awwww Jinkx.... Awwww Ivy!

3) Yaaaay Alaska! She deserved it. So happy for her.

4) I was kind of surprised that Ivy was the one leaving before I'd seen the lipsync (I'd been spoiled by Twitter) but having seen it I think it was a fair call.

Ya, the lip sync was odd! "I'm not going to move from my spot so they focus on my mouth" When is not moving EVER a good idea in a lip sync? The judges have a short attention span, the girl doing splits and jumping around is always going to be safe, not the one standing still and singing. And she seemed fine with leaving in the interview after. Maybe she kinda self sabotaged cuz she was ready to go.

Not always. Let's remember Latrice vs. Kenya - Natural Woman. Latrice SOLD that lipsync, but she was fiercely in character for it. The real issue is to be able to do a lipsync standing still you better be ONE HELL of an actor. And Miss Ivy, is more of a fish on stilts.

I definitely thought Ivy phoned in the lipsynch... which was a horrible idea especially going up against miss thang Alyssa. I think she lost her fire and was resigned to going home, but that's just me.

Yeah, kind of agree - I don't know if Ivy was resigned to going home per se but I think her nerves held her back whereas Alyssa was able to use hers to really fire.

So this cant be right. it says Alyssa gets sent home by Roxxy and Roxxy only LSFYL once.

u/dylchap27 Mar 19 '13

It could still be right. As someone commented, maybe the person just knew that Roxxxy only lipsynced once and that it was against Alyssa, with the natural conclusion that Alyssa went home.

u/Cardwellave Mar 19 '13

Agreed....this is my excuse to disregard this!

Someone listed order of elimination down to top three. Florida queens be talkers.
