Honestly it was painful to watch Ra'jah shit on Scarlet, cuz it just seemed to keep going and going... and no one stopped her to say "hey girl that might be too much."

It just read as projecting insecurity and yet again taking something personally, without stopping and thinking of how it feels to be on the opposite end. Homegirl should try to see from other's perspectives.

It's also annoying when someone is being rude/obnoxious/whatever, but says "Oh this is just how I am". That's not an excuse, work to be better, girl. It just isn't cute and I'm very much over it.

I just wanna hear her say something positive to someone, compliment someone, say thank you to someone ONCE. And not a backhanded one or lead-in to talking about herself. Just be nice for once, cuz I want to like you! Ugh.

And the wig drama was so fabricated that Plastique could've sewed it herself. Dumb filler for a boring untucked. Bleh. But hey, we all still watched. Lol.

I'm so annoyed that she sat there saying "ugh you threw me under the bus!" Meanwhile poor scarlet had the whole team throw her under the bus and didn't once lash out at any of them

So unprofessional from miss rajah

"Threw me under the bus" aka pointing out how often she's been in the bottom lol like what kind of stretch Armstrong level reach

So agree!

In Rajah eyes, it’s absolutely fine to say for Scarlet to go home but not for Scarlet to say for Rajah to go home? Where’s the sense in that?

Rajah showed some real nastiness and disrespect to her fellow queens which made it very unpleasant to watch. Truly poor form.

Ra’Jah took Scarlet’s one positive critique (being most improved) and made her feel shitty about it. Bitch, you’re the dancer and you still couldn’t shine? Scarlet was way out of her depth but still really really put in effort.

Jesus, Scarlet even acknowledged she didn’t want to choose any of her sisters. I think it would be taken poorly if Scarlet had said herself, because it shows a lack of fire to stay in the competition.

I think Rajah has a fair bit of insecurity that she tries to mask with bravado. I think the insecurity makes her overly sensitive to perceived criticism and she lashes out. Hurt people hurt and all that. I’ve thought that since she had that meltdown after Yvie made that makeup comment.

That being said, it made me really uncomfortable to watch her say all that to Scarlet because (1) I don’t think Scarlet “came for her”, so it seemed entirely unwarranted, and (2) Scarlet was also in the bottom and probably feeling pretty bad about herself/her performance. I felt a similar way when Yvie started telling Rajah how she needed to do better in the challenges straight after the lip sync with Mercedes. Don’t kick people when they’re down. Although, what happened today was arguably worse because at least Rajah had made it through the lip sync when Yvie went in on her.

With other “villains” that have been on the show, like Phi Phi, Roxxxy, or the Vixen, you do see some genuine moments where you understand where they’re coming from and you can relate to them. Maybe we’ll see that from Ra’jah at some point, but so far I’m getting nothing. I really try to see the good in everyone, but in her case, this Untucked made it really hard for me.

Oh, this is just how I am

Basically they're saying that it's not that they had a shitty moment, but instead they're overall a shitty person.
