This was one of the best reading sessions, without doubt. Nobody sucked, and nobody looked particularly sour! What a pleasant change.

Frankly, I would have given the win to Kim Chi. By far the best & most creative cohesion, the visual illusions flattered her partner way more than most of the others, and awkward or not, she was the only one who actually fulfilled the brief of delivering... interpretative dance? Like, am I just fundamentally misunderstanding the concept? Little disco moves aren't interpretative by any stretch of the imagination, surely! It's Merce Cunningham and Pina Bausch stuff, no? Or more democratically, the really random shit with lots of arm movements people are sometimes forced to do on So you think you can dance?

I'm happy Naomi won. She's a sweet queen, and her look was fabulous. I still don't think she's got it in her to win, but bless her. She seems so mature for only 21! I hope she continues to grow in such a positive manner.

Poor Bob. For your costume to fail when you know the others are out to get you must be enormous pressure. I have no doubt she'll land top three though, at the very least, and I look forward to more of her.

Yes, it was great to see that all the queens were able to take getting read.

Unless Bob completely fails in the next two challenges (episodes), I do think Mama Ru has already put her in her mental list for Top 3. She's got the quick wit that Mama Ru finds v. appealing and can actually sew. My one advice to her would be to cool it with the gloating a little. Doubtful that will happen, but one can still dream.
