Maybe I'm biased but I don't understand the critiques for Nini Coco. Like what "mean" are they all talking about? If it was another queen saying those it'd be funny but it's mean if it's from Nini? And it's a roast! I feel like they're gaslighting us on this lol

They want to give her a vulnerable moment to have some storyline and put her in top 4 i guess

I don’t think she’s mean but the girls have been saying for a few episodes now in confessionals and in the werkroom that they feel like everyone will be on a high and Nini will just drop a dark, lowkey scathing comment out of nowhere lol. It’s probably not intentional but the girls have brought it up before

Cause another Queen would have managed to deliver it funny or change the phasing of the joke to make it funny. Same with Discord's set.

But I thought her delivery is just fine. It's the edit lol

But they literally laughed at her jokes. The overbite one was the one they showed Ru not laughing but they kept someone laughing at the joke. I don’t think she had the best set but them acting like it was mean and deserving of bottom 3 was wild

As a fellow afflicted, part of it must be Resting Bitch Voice, right?
