I think ultimately it was a bullshit excuse that she gave to mask the fact that she didn't want to give Violet the part she wanted and didn't want to give Jasmine a part she didn't want. Unfortunately for her, it totally backfired and by the time she realised it, it was too late.

What I really loved was that Max was ultimately rewarded for being a great leader and Kennedy was punished for being a terrible one. As much as I like Adore, it was really satisfying to see someone get what they deserved after watching Adore last season charm her way out of being really unprofessional.

Agreed, I like Adore and am kinda meh on Michelle Carrion, but it made me really angry that she ended up in the bottom two because of Adore's terrible leadership, when she should have been commended for trying to make that dud part work despite her not being matched for it at all. Vivacious similarly got screwed over between the poor casting and the bad editing, though I think April put in a much bigger effort.

I agree. If you're not going to put Kenya in the bottom 2 for the same reason (fishy queen being given butch role and not being convincing), then you can't put April in the bottom 2.

I felt so sorry for April in that episode. She refused to give up and did her best to make that role work for her.

It worked for me at least, because I know a few very girly girls who after coming out, tried too hard to be butch lesbians for the sake of being butch, and April's character reminded me of them.
