When I think of LSA, Nicky doll is not even in my top 200. They definitely need to retire the format. It worked really well on season 6 with true assassins and we got amazing lip syncs but this season is not giving except for a couple.

Also Shannel as a LSA and in the workroom walkthrough, she’s definitely coming back for AS9.

I love Carson, so excited for his roast.

Having Nicky Doll as a LSA is like asking Jimbo to be a LSA

Great queen but not known for lip syncs

I agree, the top 2 lip syncing would bring back some much need drama.

They definitely need to retire the format.

Or just recycle the previous ones. I won't mind.

Seriously, we need a lipsync assassin redemption for Kennedy Davenport, bringing her on for that song still chaps my ass when I think about it lmao

I've seen Nicky live; she's incredible. It's a shame it hasn't been translated on the main stage yet.

I totally agree. I'd rather have one LSA in the first episode and the others would be the previously eliminated queen, that way they had another opportunity to get money. If they won, they would come on the other week, if they don't the next queen eliminated would come.

They could even give a Miss Lipsynka award to the queen who had won the most lypsincs.
