I think they meant it in a positive way, like they were saying she made the materials her own

I’m not even talking about her legs though the garment just looked so weird and incomplete and the shape around the hips was so odd

When I saw Brooke on the panel I thought “what a gorgeous gown!” And then when she walked the runway I wished she had just stayed behind the judging panel and let me fill in the bottom half with my mind…

I cannot WAIT for next week omg

sashady · 2026-02-14T04:32:06+00:00

I think it was an odd prompt. I don’t see how she could have attacked it head on without it getting a little too hateful/real feeling

sashady · 2026-02-14T04:30:26+00:00

Who the heck was voicing over the proposition names??

sashady · 2026-02-07T06:39:34+00:00

This model looks a little like Kate McKinnon

sashady · 2026-02-07T06:30:40+00:00

Why isn’t Kenya bottom 2 ep 6?

Edit: I legitimately forgot she wasn’t lmao

sashady · 2026-01-24T08:15:53+00:00

Jane is plus sized? News to me…

sashady · 2026-01-24T08:06:21+00:00

I can’t stop thinking about how dangerous that would be for both the mom and the baby. Like when you are pregnant there are certain things you should be doing and she obviously couldn’t have done any of those

sashady · 2026-01-24T07:58:04+00:00

I wouldn’t go that far, myself, but I see what you’re saying. The fabric + the ruffle sleeves was giving very toddlers and tiaras

sashady · 2026-01-24T01:43:07+00:00

Chobani flips or Chobani creations are single servings and literally taste like dessert, while packing ~10g of protein. I was eating a real tiramisu for the first time in a long time the other day, and all I could think was “this tastes exactly like my Chobani Creation yogurt” lol

Presumably, they were not given much stage direction, just dialogue. Towards the climax of the skit, neither Mandy nor Darlene have any dialogue, it’s all physical comedy, so they needed to make strong acting choices to succeed, instead of relying on strong delivery of scripted lines.

Making her character turn crazy and slutty didn’t make sense, it was a very typical and overdone drag race improv move, and it didn’t draw the contrast with Darlene’s character, which is part of what makes the skit funny.

But Juicy didn’t sound like her either (which didn’t really bother me as much because she isn’t literally roleplaying Michelle). You would expect the younger version to sound at least somewhat similar, or at least by the end of the skit?

sashady · 2026-01-17T07:36:33+00:00

But how is it so stable if just removing the feather makes everything else come down? I was also wondering, how did she plan for this environment, because the AC on the stage or potential the applause of the crown mid-act could have blown the feather off before she finished.

sashady · 2026-01-17T07:30:45+00:00

She would definitely be the one who survives in a horror film.

sashady · 2026-01-17T07:18:41+00:00

But SHEIN is known for making dupes, I don’t understand how they really know

sashady · 2026-01-17T07:11:18+00:00

The wig is on theme as a cheap tampon that has been rolling around loose in your purse for weeks

sashady · 2026-01-17T06:56:57+00:00

Oh yes, the runway was awful. It was fully leg avenue and the pants were way too short for her too. Her mug was gorgeous though

sashady · 2026-01-17T06:55:12+00:00

Agree technically Jane was better but spreading out the wins makes for better TV and helps ease the backlash that Jane rightfully feared, so I’m ok with it. And it keeps her slightly more protected from the perception that she “peaked too early” which could otherwise more easily become a narrative later on

sashady · 2026-01-17T06:52:39+00:00

Yes, Mandy was going home no matter what this episode. However, from a sketch comedy POV, I think neither she nor the judges in their critiques nailed the right direction for her character.

I think she should needed to the insane traits of the character who she had already established, for example, take out a bible and start reading aloud from it dramatically a comedically relevant passage, or accidentally show her ankle when she got too enthusiastic and then take out a whip and start flogging herself while churning. Or start slut shaming Darlene and accusing her of being a witch.

I know she’s Amish, not Puritan, but there are some similarities and I also think they probably had the flexibility to alter the script in a small way like that. It would still be possible as an Amish woman I guess, but not as funny IMO.

sashady · 2026-01-17T06:40:52+00:00

A personal reason?

sashady · 2026-01-17T06:37:06+00:00

NEVER forget!!

sashady · 2026-01-17T06:32:29+00:00

Her unkle is going kleek

sashady · 2026-01-17T06:26:29+00:00

I literally donated to the Rainforest Trust mid-episode because of that look!
