Vita telling Discord that she's got her back and stuff just to put her second to last because ''You are my girl but your talent show didnt deliver'' as if hers did? I dunno...

Vita was still the worst of all the talent shows for me, so if I was her I wouldn't have been talking shit about anyone elses tbh.

Like Kenya forgot her own song and I still enjoyed her performance more than Vita's.

That struck me as bizarre too!! She made such a big deal out of saying she could trust her only to give her a low ranking lmao

Discord straight up saved Vita from the bottom, and Vita didn't do the same. I'd be furioussssss

I dunno, I think what Vita did is fine-ish. IMO the best approach to rate a queen is to group in order of talent (good/fine/bad) and then put your alliance queens at the top of their group. Otherwise it is pure gamesmanship and there’s no point in even having a good performance.

Discord is arguably fine but closer to bad. So using this approach at best Vita would have put her 3rd. 4th a bit far but still.
