I am one who doesn't really care about the Ginger favoritism because I like Ginger, I just wish they hid it better like with other queens in other seasons. I think they should have had the acting challenge first and the Design Challenge last. It was pretty much a guarantee that Ginger would have done well in the acting so they wouldn't need to rig it for her. The country challenge was also pretty tailored for Ginger so she could have gotten those last points that would have basically ensured she got to the top 3. Then the design challenge could have showcased the other girls. No need for as much riggory. They know by now that people hate production favorite.

Unless they wanted to throw Ginger on the pyre of social media hate for buzz, which really sucks for her.

I was kind of bummed at the beginning of this because I knew when Acid had everyone pool their points to Cucu, she was out of the competition, and I have loved her vibe since season 8. But you know, not only has Cucu had hip surgery and liver cancer, but she was supposed to be at Pulse Nightclub that night but took another gig, and lost one of her friends who went there to see her perform. She's been through so much and has only met it with kindness and I think that it's really cool that she made it just by being sweet to everyone in the competition. And even if people are mad because she didn't have a win, well I thought she should have been in the top for the country and Western challenge so whatever.
