  • @19nmiller1
    @19nmiller1 3 дня назад +51

    This is a great list, but I disagree with Aja. Ru *hated* Aja's final look, to the point where she almost took it as a personal offense. Even if she had the best soup can with the most accurate branding possible, I think Aja would've been safe at best. Even then, they just really wanted her out of there so they probably would've put her in the bottom regardless lol

    • @BambiTrout
      @BambiTrout 19 часов назад +7

      It really confused me about why they hated that look, because to me that SCREAMED Studio 54 - or at least my understanding of it, and most of the internet seems to agree. The common consensus seems to be that Ru wanted DISCO Studio 54, but the critiques were all about how Aja didn't know her references etc. even though when you Google Studio 54, you see a LOT of people dressed like Aja with the Brigitte Bardot hair.
      My opinion on the whole thing was that Ru just wanted Aja gone. She was supposed to be on the season with Valentina, and without her, they didn't have a storyline. They also never expected her to be so good after her mediocre performance on Season 9 less than a year earlier - she was meant to be filler, yet she turned out looks, gave great performances in the challenges, and showed a lot of growth both personally and professionally. They couldn't critique the look for its construction or how good it looked on her, so they instead made up a bunch of bullshit about bad references and Aja not knowing her history, relying on the fact that a young audience would trust Ru's knowledge and authority on the subject over Aja's.
      Based purely on performance in AS3, I think Aja deserved to be in the top over Kennedy and arguably Trixie too, but it wasn't meant to be, so she had to be canned.

    Personally, I’ll always kinda loved the fact that TKB read “realness” and said, “Oh, I’ll give you REALNESS!” lol.
    On the flip side, I’ll never forget people complaining about how robbed Scarlet and Jan were for their Blue Ball showings, however, I completely disagree. While, yes, both Scarlet and Jan each wore 3 absolutely *stunning* looks in the ball, I think that they each had the exact _opposite_ issue of TKB, which was a complete lack of ANY “realness”!
    All of the queens who did really well in the prompt (IMO) were the ones who dressed up as blue collar workers but made it camp/drag/fashion. Jan and Scarlet, however, turned themselves into fashionable tires (I _think_ anyway. She certainly looked nothing like a mechanic or pit crew member in anyway shape or form aside from, I guess somehow, the hair bun tires. 🤷🏼) and a highly fashionable circular/table saw, respectively. Like… I get what they were going for, but IMHO, they missed the mark. Even though both of their outfits looked great. 🤷🏼
    Mmmmkay! Bring on the pitchforks! lol.

    I don’t think trinity’s crossing guard look cost her the ball. Instead, her final look saved her from the bottom. The first two looks were not good. Her second look was good in concept, but the length and cut of the pants was weird and so was the plain exposed bra. And then her first look is one of the worst runways in history. If she hadn’t turned something out for the last category she would have been in the bottom.

    How about the converse of this concept, in which the winner of the ball won primarily because of a look they brought and someone in the bottom ended up there for similar reasons? Season 6 immediately comes to mind. Adore arguably won because she knocked banjie girl bling out of the park (look of the ball no doubt) and everyone else came up short (to the point that I suspect the initial prompt wasn't banjie girl) and none of the made in the workroom looks were spectacular. In fact Dela arguably had the best in that category (even won Top Toot of the Week from Raja and Raven) but admittedly it wasn't that much better, or would even qualify as great. Her other 2 looks were probably 2nd worst to mid at best in each category though. I still call shenanigans (I think they saved the top 3 they wanted from being sacrificed to the lip sync assassin Ms Lake, who was EASILY the worst of the ball) and think Courtney got a free pass, but just MHO.

  • @marcoc7388

    Tbh, I feel it's unfair the queens are not given the heads-up about the looks that are specific to the Ball. I mean, it's even good for their wallets as they would know which looks should they polish more and would even be helpful to create "collections" of looks like what Scarlet tried to do in the Monster Ball from S11 (I'm still convinced Trinity K thought the first look was intended to be used in a mini-challenge). I only see benefits, however, I guess the producers do not want to risk queens not pulling out bad looks for the Ball.

    I thought the look Trinity made looked AWFUL. The bodice was too long, the fit was awful, the styling was wrong. It looked a hot shit mess like Honey Boo Boo meets Breaking Bad.

    This is probably an unpopular opinion, but...I did not like Raja's ball look that was constructed in the work room. It was really top heavy and swallowing her up on that end. She gave herself no shape in the waist area by not being cinched, and I did not like the trim on the skirt part of the garment.
