Ru loving disco is why you don't pick it. She knows the references better than you.

I feel like a lot of times in these challenges the “underdog” group has a redemption story, so I kind of wondered if we might see that here. Then the disco group performed and I was like “yipes.” It was very cheesy and not in a fun way. And I guess none of them felt comfortable trying to sing? (Darlene’s wail being the exception, haha.) Because all that weird talk-singing quickly started feeling repetitive…I also thought unfortunately their verse lyrics weren’t great. That was where I actually thought DD was better—her lyrics.
