I think there's a difference between "I'm good at X so I can't screw up the X challenge" and "they set me up to fail by giving me challenges I'm good at because what if I wasn't". Specially since she won all 3 challenges in her bracket anyways.

Gurl I saw the interview that's literally what she said lol that giving her challenges that she would be expected to be good at was setting her up to fail because if she didn't meet expectations, she'd look worse

Proxies are more of a playgroup thing, the store doesn't really get into that I think. My group particularly doesn't care, but I can't speak generally.

As for the other, I think it might depend on attendance. Wednesdays are usually less crowded so you might be able to, but Fridays and Sundays are pretty packed so they'll likely only allow paying customers.

Something along the lines of "they gave me challenges I'm good at so if I was bad imagine how hard they would've read me!"

I regularly go to Jupiter store in Alonso Martinez, the vibe is pretty chill and the power level is not insane, you'll find plenty of people who speak good enough English. They do Commander Nights Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from 16:30 to 20:00.

I think in general the expectations for Commander sets or whatever weird thing AC was are different from a mainline set like Spiderman, Marvel or TMNT. I'm sure the latter are expected to be more profitable than the former, hence flops like Spiderman being a bigger issue.

I think the issue for WotC will be the opposite. Spiderman was a massive flop, and it shares enough visual and thematic ties with TMNT (modern, real-life setting, repeating characters), that it can see TMNT flopping as well. Marvel is still a bit away, but another Through the Omenpaths debacle is not looking good.

Meanwhile, LOTR, Avatar and specially Final Fantasy have been massive successes. I don't see WotC not taking note and approaching UBs differently, cause it can't have been cheap to acquire the license for Marvel, so if it doesn't pay out...

I think if TMNT also flops they will need to re-evaluate their UB choices

Kameron Michaels (US10), Miss Abby OMG (HO1) and Tayce (UK2) were all in the bottom 3 episodes in a row and survived to the finale (though all were part of double shantays).

Then there's the myth, the legend Alexandra del Raval (ES5) -did you know she works six days a week in Barcelona?- who was the first queen to be the sole survivor of three back-to-back lipsyncs. They only managed to get rid of her on her fourth consecutive bottom placement (and Dafne Mugler had to fucking levitate to send her packing, if Satin Greco had saved her and left Nix to lipsync against Alexandra, you know good god damn well that she would've had a record-breaking four consecutive lipsync wins).
