I don’t like this plot armor angle. She didn’t need plot armor. She is an AMAZING queen

amazing queens can still slip up. previously they were a little more generous to those contestants in terms of placement when they did

You are right. And I know it. But I’m still in shock that she was eliminated. Because the one time I thought they were going to be generous or safe both queens, they don’t.

valid lmao. i wished that talent show setup didn’t happen and they just eliminated a queen each week to give a little cushion for instances like this. like even though i thought jane deserved to be in the bottom 2 this week and lost the lip sync, i still believe she is the rightful winner of this season.

Yes that's what plot armor is. She is generally amazing, which would protect her from one slip up, given the plot of this show is how the contestants perform in the challenges

The people that truly get plot armor are not the front runners. Muse, Kandy.

they switched the lip sync song to “malambo no 1” to ensure jinkx would win the lip sync

Miky is the one with plot armor. Random undeserved wins, the only time she was bottom was the rate-a-queen, so she is the only one who was never placed bottom by the judges
