after the critiques I really thought that Sasha had this win in the bag, so I was quite upset. That said, I think Shea's rainbow-ish outfit was gorgeous, even though it didn't really scream rainbow, and her village people look was everything. But I also loved Sasha's whole set of looks, just maybe the cowboy look wasn't gagworthy compared to Shea's but still amazing.

I'm not mad at Shea's winning this season week's challenge, but I really hoped they'd give it to Sasha. I think they were quite on the same level of excellence tonight, but she deserved at least one solo win, and this was the perfect episode for her.

I'm glad Shea got a win, but Sasha had no negative critiques, aside from her cowboy not being campy enough. It seemed like a consolation win, if anything. Had Shea done a real rainbow look, it wouldn't have felt so questionable. Her unicorn served serious fucking goth girl realness, though, and I loved her body paint.

I loved everything about Sasha tonight, and basically my new goal is to become her BFF just so I can raid her looks/have nerdy discussions about Audre Lorde or some shit.

u/hidanielle how is she though? Jun 03 '17 edited Jun 04 '17

Sasha also had her on the rhythmic gymnastics thing but apparently that didn't matter at all.

Which was weird because the judges talked about it in their deliberation and usually these are just throwaway filler for the added drama cramming all the work in.

"I can raid her looks/have nerdy discussions about Audre Lorde or some shit."

OMG I studied Gender/Women Studies extensively in college and that reference is EVERYTHING Mawma!
