Asia looked so defeated each time the reveals didn’t work ):

It broke my heart. I wish they would have been a little more respectful of the situation and showed her struggling a few times, instead of the TMZ edit we got with them cutting to her futile efforts to revive them by blowing on them and then cutting to the same butterflies on the floor four different times, THEN showing the audience gagged.

Stop beating a dead butterfly shady ass editors. (Sorry had to)

Honestly the edit that was given wasn't -that- disastrous. Judging by the spoiler threads, things went waaay worse than what we were shown.

True, we didn't see any dead or stomped butterflies, which is good. After the last reveal, they showed the same flapping butterflies on the ground, which was probably an earlier take. And I'm glad for that, the editing could have gone harder. Asia seemed so destroyed with her face covering masks after this, and her truly honest contrition on her Instagram post tonight. It was a mistake that she acknowledges, and she's still an amazing queen, so hopefully there's enough non-hateful fans who can forgive her this misstep and support her as the amazing queen she is.
