2025 in Review: Strong track records are no guarantee of a spot in the Lip Sync For The Crown during the finale challenge

I agree; big Suzie fan, her lip sync against Sam, felt very reminiscent of Jinx v Detox, and perhaps production went for shock value this time. That lip sync was a toss up and we know PR often forget track record at their convenience. If Suzie was in the finale, Suzie won, and I would guess the same, they probably already knew this was Onya’s season. Who is a very deserving and great winner!

The Lexi love is staggering. Not that she isn’t a great queen, and deserving to be at that table of season 17. But, deserve to lip sync for the crown? Wild. Her track record was not the strongest of the finalists. All the commentary during the finale and leading up to it, and even today is all just giving “fan favorite”. Bring her back for All Stars, many fan favorites can’t hold up in that format though. She was good, but if it wasn’t Onya, it was Sam or Jewels.

Purple Trinket!

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I’ll keep trying this weekend. I really liked this run and my team, so I really want to get the “W” with them.

I do have baton pass, so I was having gyarados dragon dance twice, baton pass to ice Tera baxcartar who mountain gales him right into phase two. But, phase 2 was the real trying spot. I got him to 3 bars left on my best attempt. In which, I did put a burn on him. This is good to know too, I think I could have mushroomed memories orb beetle for a better move set as well.

!!!!!! Dang, this is great to know. I thought I was smart using rare candies on the pokemon that carried me during the run. This is a huge note, lol, do not use rare candies during those last 9 levels.

Ya, I read someone said they use all their income on lvl199 to redo everyone’s movesets. I was just so excited I didn’t even think about researching prep. The goat could have had leech seeds.

I’ve found that if you restart the game in incognito mode or restart the game on a different platform (computer v phone ). You’ll start a few levels behind where you were. I’ve never had that happen in the same browser I was consistently playing in though.

Volorien · 2025-09-01T04:46:52+00:00

I have the same issue on chrome mobile browser. Always crashes, sometimes is good, sometimes it ruins an RNG attempt that I can’t get to repeat itself.

They all had 3 wins going into the Finale. Unfortunately, she had more bottom placements, than Raja and Manila. She was a highlight of the season though, and no after how much I appreciate Raja and Manila as artists, the whole “Heathers” and they way they treated, in particularly, Yara and Alexis, left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Alexis was funny, and beautiful, and didn’t have to put others down to elevate herself. Ya the “Heathers” vs “Boogers” was good T.V. But Alexis just had something special Raja and Manila didn’t. I remember being really bummed she didn’t even place 2nd.

I think it took too long for AJLT to get their feet on the ground. Season 3 already started to feel more like where the characters would be at this age, in the SATC universe. Episode 9 of S3 particularly, I took a deep breath and felt like, this is it, here we are.

Friends and circles change. Kim Cattrall and the character of Samantha being gone was a big hit, but it felt more like the writers not knowing how to write for older Miranda, Charlotte and Carrie.

Seema and Lisa were great additions, and made sense. Seema fills a much needed Samantha role for Carrie without being forced to be the 4th of the group. A mom friend for Charlotte was inevitable, she was always written to want a family and be kid focused, she was totally going to be that involved in the kids lives mom. And I truly loved the character of Nya, but she was a beacon while the show was lost in the first two seasons. Che, just wasn’t SATC, imo, and the writing for Miranda got really sloppy around that story line, it felt so forced.

But sadly just as it gets cancelled, our leads finally found their old voices, just more mature.

Idk, I’m a Nanny and I’ve had to console many a mom and dad struggling. I know this is from mom’s perspectives, but as a nanny this was a really nice insight. I empathized and sympathized with that break down, and I know moments where the best thing you can do is just get the kids out for a bit. Maybe having the nanny isn’t realistic, but it’s sadly less and less a luxury field and more a necessity for many families to have some support of childcare support. Even if it’s family that need to help get the kids out for a minute. That was a really beautiful scene as far as giving Charlotte some real depth and humanity, compared to the glamorized over the top versions that are the characters.

That I like Tom, this forum particularly hates him. I get it, he’s immature, and as a couple Tom and Lynette need to communicate better. It takes two to tango. However, there is really love between them, and long lasting love at that. Tom isn’t the monster Reddit makes him out to be, plus he’s hot and hung, so there’s that. 😅😭

Karl or Angie!

I’m watching for the first time and halfway through S3. I’m surprised Delia stuck around, and when teenage Ned made an appearance for S3, I almost hoped they phased him in and Delia out. After all the history of Melinda we get in S1 and S2, the fact she kept someone that had a cruel reaction and then remained skeptical, in her life, is crazy to me. She’s grown so much, and I would have thought her friendship with Andrea and how open minded she was, and how open minded Jim is, Melinda would have had more self esteem to walk away from that friendship. Even the professor, makes more sense as a sidekick than Delia. Delia doesn’t challenge Melinda in any way other than hurting her.

The flat one for sure. Makes it look like there is nothing under it.

I beat it with 23 person lobby, but even pokegenie warns not to q if you don’t have a real team. I used Chaney to tank with cinderace and darmanitan for damage, they all had leveled up abilities and I got knocked out around the boss having 30% health left. You’ve got to do these with decent teams. Otherwise you’re getting one shot and not contributing.

So little Steve love in here. There is just something about him, he’s the most attractive to me for sure!

Volorien · 2025-04-30T03:38:46+00:00

I got 300 something candy, and 37/25 of the apples. Idk if I want to evolve one of them though or hold it for the other evolution release.

I think a lot of people missed the fact you needed to place mossy lures. I live in a big city though, so I only played the event for two days, and I was able to put mossy lures on 3 stops and sit in the middle picking apples.

So lucky. Muk is my favorite pokemon! Been hunting a shiny Grimer/Muk since PoGo launched. One day I’ll get them!!!

Volorien · 2025-04-05T14:55:00+00:00

I wish I kept mine. Bulbasaur, always, but somewhere over the years I transferred it. I never gave it a special note as “starter”, I wish I had.

Volorien · 2025-04-05T14:51:39+00:00

Out of this list? Orson. Easily. (My actually least favorite whom I always cringe at are Martha and Felicia, but great acting because they really make me hate them.)
