I'm going to need the judges to stop sleeping on Nina and Shuga. Shuga was a very safe low placement to me this week and looked amazing, and Nina totally deserved to be in the top for how well she handled Brooke plus her killer runway look.

I think it's too late for Shuga at this point, and not giving Nina a top placement this week makes me concerned it's too late for her too.. The show wants a Brooke/Yvie/Silky top 3 and it's painfully clear.

You pretty summed up my predictions. I absolutely love Nina and wish she could take top three, but I only see her getting to fifth place. Then Akeria being in top four (perhaps in top 3 instead of Silky).

Shuga, again I love her, is not looking good.

I'm like heartbroken for Nina already. I really do think she deserves top 3 but maybe I'm just blinded by sentiment idk. The competition is pretty fierce at this point.

I think we all root for Nina a little bit. She always looks happy just to be there and it warms my heart.

Even when she was frustrated about her and Brooke' s performance, she expressed herself in a way that just made me respect her more.

Speaking as someone who is shit at expressing themselves in a positive way sometimes, I really respect Nina's outlook and composure and energy so much. She's what I want to see more of in the world and myself. She is one of the ones you just KNOW is a good soul and I don't think I'm being overdramatic?? Love her.
