The
mini-challenge
It was a “vote
for each other in various categories” kind of quiz which was entertaining to
watch.
Loosey won.
Do
mini-challenges count as wins? It appears not.
The
maxi-challenge
This week was
the make-over challenge.
The make-over
subjects were teachers.
As the winner
of the mini-challenge, Loosey got to match up the pairs.
The challenge
was to create a family resemblance and deliver a runway presentation that
demonstrated confidence and connection.
I’m not clear
how much time was involved in this challenge – the suggestion seemed to be that
everyone pretty much made outfits from scratch for this challenge – and all the
outfits looked great. But, if that’s the case, it seems weird not to sort of
make more of that – they did a full make-over and made outfits in how long?
These queens are phenomenal.
No one messed
up this challenge – everyone delivered a great result and a great performance.
The judging comes down to storylines, but we are making a TV show – that’s how
it goes.
·
Sasha: Sasha gave us two Hawaiian MILFS, with exaggerated padding and big
hair. Job done.
·
Loosey: Loosey said she was giving us Aunt and Neice at the beach. I’m not
sure that that’s exactly what translated on stage but the outfits were cute.
Job don.
·
Luxx: Luxx was criticised for not achieving family resemblance. Given
the physical differences between her and her assigned teacher, it was never
going to be easy. The dress she constructed for her teacher was fantastic. Luxx
also looked gorgeous but it was clear she didn’t have a lot of time to
construct her own outfit.
·
Mistress: Mistress successfully created a mini-me. Job done.
·
Anetra: Anetra created one-legged bodysuits in ying/yang colour contrasts.
One-legged bodysuits are normally a curse in this competition, but Anetra has
broken that..
The Judging
Sasha and
Mistress were declared safe, and Anetra was declared the winner. No arguments
there. I’ve lost track of the wins but if we’re spreading the wins around the
finalists, I think you would have given this win to Mistress? I’m not clear
what the plan is.
That left us
with a Bottom 2 of Luxx and Loosey.
This was
satisfying – from an audience perspective – in that this confrontation was
heavily flagged in last-week’s episode when Luxx made it clear why she thought
Loosey should be sent home.
The Lip-sync
The song was
Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko.
This is a cute
song, upbeat with a bit of angsty energy but not the easiest to perform.
We got quite
different styles from Loosey and Luxx. Neither felt hugely connected to the
track, but the song has a difficult energy to convey on stage.
Loosey gave us
musical theatre, whereas Luxx gave us a club performance working for tips. Both
approaches were valid but Luxx was a lot more dynamic, using all of the stage,
delivering lots of variation of moves. Head to head on the stage, it was
impossible not to focus on Luxx.
Luxx stays,
Loosey goes home. That feels correct.
Top 4?
So, we’ve got
a Top 4. Normally, we’d expect a Top 4 to go through to the grand finale and
battle it out for the crown.
However, in
the preview for next week, we get a clip saying that someone is going to be
eliminated because only three are going to the finale. That seems (deliberately)
confusing.
I guess we’ll
have to tune in next week to find out what it’s all about.
Episode 13,
done!
