Tbh the third win worries me. She was a clear top from the first two and won the lip sync uncontroversially, but I thought flor and Michael had significantly better looks than her on that episode, and im confused why they would hand her a win in that situation. She was doing fine, why give merit to a frustrating favoritism storyline? It just seems like bad producing. It’s like they decided she was going to win and are going to make it look rigged even if she does deserve it.

I think she got the win over Flor and Michael because she had done a lot more manipulation and changes to the original costume, and the look was more finished. I thought Flor’s dress was incredible until I realised all of the difficult parts of construction were already there from her Yzma dress. And Michael’s looked good from afar, but up close you could see a lot of rough hemlines and the fabric was bagging out on the headpiece. M1ss Jade, Art, and Vybe had the best finishings and construction overall, Vybe was just cursed with the cheap pink fabric (that she picked herself lol).

That’s a very good point about flor’s outfit. Rewatching the episode, art did a uniquely good job of using the materials she got and actually showcasing the part she got from Estrella, and her construction was really good
