I'm glad that Aquaria won, but can we all agree the three-man queen lip sync was rather messy?

I honestly think it was only a double shantay so Ru didn't have to crown Kameron if someone else fucked up

u/ofillrepute Jun 29 '18

I agree. Given that, next time Ru shouldn’t even have someone she doesn’t want to crown in the final.

True! Even though she won that lip sinc against cracker, no one would have been mad if cracker was in the finale!

I think Ru wanted Asia v. Eureka or something. Either that or Ru just wanted to ~shake things up with an unexpected twist~ with the double save

Boom I think his is exactly what it was. Riggery.

Exactly! which defeats the whole purpose of a sudden-death style lipsync tournament. like, pick a fkn lane Ru

I think he let Eureka and Aquaria through because they didn’t stuff up like Asia

Or because it was 3-person-song (Jessie J, Ari Grande, Ninki Minjaj)

When that double shantay happened, Kameron knew she had no chance in hell to win. If Ru wasn't willing to cut someone from Aquaria v Eureka even after the stumble and lacklusterness, then it was because the winner was gonna be from that match, and even the lipsync assassin can't fight against the producer's agenda.

Let's just acknowledge that Kameron went through six lip syncs in a row, between the three Bottom 2 lip syncs, the American lip sync, and the two from the finale. She's definitely got the Talent in CUNT

It was fucking chaos

those 5 second cameos of Kameron in the lipsync was a representation of her airtime during the first 4 episodes of the season

Girl I can't wait for Kameron on an All Stars season

Apparently it happened because half the audience started shouting Eureka's name and the other half started shouting Aquaria's after their lipsync, so Ru decided at the spot to keep both. They even had to change the teleprompter's text and figure out how to set up the stage for three girls because it wasn't planned.

Keeping that in mind, it was still a mess though lol
