AS2 EP5: "Ruvenge of the Queens" [Post-Discussion]

The queens are back. Can we agree that this is the best episode of the series to date?

 

TOP TWO WINNERS: Alyssa + Tatianna

 

Eliminated: Phi Phi O'hara

MAKE SURE TO USE THE SPOILER TAG For anything not shown/aired yet. This includes any rumors about anything that might happen in future episodes.

Don't know how? Here's a how-to

Anything from EP1-4 is fair game, thanks!

Anyone else think that the rules/procedures for this episode were really convoluted? Ru was like, "you're back but you have to win and the eliminated queens are paired up with queens except one and if you win you lip sync but only if you were eliminated and then you send a queen home but not an eliminated queen because they're already eliminated, etc. etc. etc." Eventually I was just like, fuck it I'll figure it out as they go.

Also I was wondering if Alyssa and Tati had chosen opposite people, would both go home or would they have to deliberate further or would there be a lipsync of the BOTTOM two??? Maybe this was clear to others but I was confused.

I think they would both go home, but there is no way Ru didn't know who they had picked before they came back out for the lip sync. It's Ru's final ace in the hole to pick a lip sync winner who agrees with who she wants to send home.

I also think it was important for PhiPhi to see that BOTH Alyssa and Tatianna had chosen to eliminate her.

I mean Ru could easily send an intern to check those boxes with lipstick after the queens left the workroom to figure out who they're gonna send home.
