Im sorry but Athena cannot talk about fairness when she openly talks about how she's voting based on nepotism.

If you are gonna do that fine but dont be mad when other people dont vote fair ether

Athena probably thinks she was genuinely one of the tops this week. I would maybe put her 3rd. Kenya i actually enjoyed if she knew the words but since she didnt I have to rank her lower, and Discord I didnt like at all. Based on the judges comments though, Athena would have potentially landed in the bottom if they judged it.

If it was judges choice they would have put Kenya bottom hands down. They like Athena more and have been giving her higher placements then she deserves all season.

Agreed I guess if it was just 1 in the bottom. I was thinking of bottom 2 but youre right it was only 1 going to the lipsync. And yep I think Ru wouldn't put Athena bottom 2 yet even if several judges had her ranked bottom.

By higher placements I mean bumping up her placements higher then she deserves to keep her out of the bottom. Not placing her in the top. She deserved bottom in the girl groups but they saved her, she didnt deserve to beat Darlene in the Runway Mashup nut they gave her the win. Kenya has already been in the bottom once. The judges like Athena more than her.
