First off grats to Willow. Not like this was a surprise or anything but congrats <3
To start... Vegas is definitely a better venue than in NY. Just fits better imo. I love the Showgirl themed looks definitely fun.
The individual performances (akin to Bob, Kim and Naomi) were cool. Definitely better than this lipsync for the crown nonsense. Still none of the songs as good as Bob's was tho...
The Ru Girls doing Losing is the New Winning was fun but why didn't they invite back Jaida, Gigi, Crystal and Jackie to do it. Considering that they didnt have a real final and the girls who did it do it all the time in Vegas. I get that it was cross promotion but it seems like a missed opportunity considering the insane popularity of the S12 cast.
Willow and Camden in the final made the most sense. But what in the riggory... Girl... I love Miss Pill but she was wiggling in this super obvious 'reveal' look which didnt really reveal much. I get that after Kornbred left she was the front runner and Camden was just a break out star that production wasn't expecting... but Lady Camden DEFINITELY performed better in that final lipsync and was kinda robbed.
Besides the pacing and non eliminations for no reason I think it was a decent season. Hopefully we can see Lady Camden back for an All Stars where production actually wants her to succeed lol. #DragRace
Firstly, I think that Miesha played a really good game. She was in power basically the whole season and I think she is a good winner but the real drama is Todrick.
This has to be one of the most bitter jury's in the history of the show. My question is how close do you think the vote would have been if the jury wasn't able to watch the show. Regardless of what you may think about Todrick he played a REALLY good game inside the house. He was in alliances with everyone, he wasn't in any real danger and ran circles around these people. With that said, he should have known that the jury was watching and could have toned it down idk?
A physical player v a strategic player in a partnership is nothing new but I think Meisha would not have made it that far without him whereas I think Todrick could have made it regardless. All these people are just bitter that Todrick outplayed them.
Then there is the drama and meltdown side of it. I think it was really interesting though that AFP went to Carson.. the old white gay that America seems to love.. but the young opinionated black gay gets read to filth and turned into the villain by production. Maybe I am reading into this but I definitely would have loved to see an alternate ending where the jury didn't know EVERYTHING going on behind the scenes... that is just my 2 cents...
Honestly, I am really happy that MJ and Jonna won. I don't think they were in the best in the final necessarily but considering how much I disliked most of the finalists I am pretty happy with the result.
I still am not totally sure why Jonna is on All Stars but she went unnommed and slayed the season again for me. Mj was kinda just there but they did well in the end together and I'm happy.
Darrell did well as always but honestly I am happy he and Janelle didn't win. Having Darrell win again is just a boring winner and honestly I didn't really like them during the season.
I have really mixed feelings for Nehemiah and Melinda. I genuinely thought that they would win this season. It seemed like the edit had done everything possible to push the success of the Kings Palace and I am kinda baffled that they wouldn't put more effort into a winner's edit for MJ and Jonna. Maybe they wanted to make that alliance as obnoxious as possible to give the viewer satisfaction when they flopped in the final.
I am not surprised that Teck and Ayanna came fourth. I was suprised with Teck though. He performed way better in the final than I thought he would but Ayanna hun. This was the girl who volunteered herself into elims and she tapped out. I mean it saved Jonna and basically secured her 250k so I am happy for that. I thought they would come fourth but still...
This season as a whole was pretty good I think. The casting was there, the format was decent and it seemed to end well with new blood in the winner's circle which hasn't happened for a while. Hopefully the next season will be just as good.
This has been written seemingly in the stars for the last 40 days or so but congrats to X for playing one of the cleanest games in the history of the show. I thought that the finale would a bore but it was actually done really well. The fact that basically everyone on set knew the result meant that it seemed more like a celebration lap for Xavier than a messy F2 ceremony. When X stood up to defend his game wow, just wow.
I'm also super happy that Tiff won AFP. She put in a long of ground work this season and I am happy that it paid off for her in the end. All in all. Despite the fact that it seemed like the game was set in stone from the week they got rid of Dx, Xavier did really well to maintain the course, keep everyone on the party line and cruise through to the finale and the crown. In the end, could it have been more exciting if Tiff and Hannah turned on the boys.. yes, but it was still a solid winner in the end <3 #bb23
I swear if after all this work that Xavier has done to brain wash the whole house this season into gifting him 750k and loses a random question in the final stage of the HOH like Vanessa did and the F2 is Big D and Azah... Big Brother is offically over. It can not recover from Big D or Azah winning this season lmfao.
X found people he could manipulate (all the black people). He socially connected the game of Big Brother to a noble cause meaning you couldnt leave the CO and no one could come in. He figured out Tiff was his only threat and basically scared her into taking out her own people before turning the useless members of the CO against the strong ones in Tiff and Hannah... before finally taking out Kyland for the most dominant game in years. He has had this game on lock since the second he walked in the house and fair play to him. Now just go out and win the final HoH... drag Big Dumbass to the F2 and take this season in a landslide... #bb23
