... I wish I knew how to quit watching Untucked! It makes me less keen on people I previously liked.

Delta was being not just mean in her criticisms of Yara Sofia and Manila, but *wrong*.

Yara can't escape being labelled the Latina queen any more than Delta can escape being the plus-size one. To call Yara's performance a 'gimmick' is disrespectful and shallow. Also, she clearly said that she hates that the judges love Yara's Latin-ness -- but then stealthily tried to convince Yara that it would work against her if she kept 'doing' it. I'm glad Yara was having none of it.

I wonder if part of Delta's seeming anger towards Yara and Manila for having ethnicity on their side comes from something more personal. She's Mexican (as far as I know) but doesn't speak any Spanish --- so, I suspect it bothers her that she can't 'own' her heritage the way they do. Just saying.

I think Delta is rather jealous of the others.. especially Carmen.
She says she's not threatened by Carmen's body, but it obviously makes her insecure about hers.

Carmen's body is the most feminine out of all the queens, but it didn't leave me gagging or anything.

Ya, totally. She made it about age when she was making Raja commisserate about how the others are younger which supposedly means they have better bodies -- but Delta's only 34, which is hardly that much older than the average. And even though Raja's the oldest she has arguably the best body, so. Pish.

Oh wow, I thought Delta was white or half-Asian or something.

Delta was a real bitch to Yara playing up the Latin queen. She wouldn't drop it. So damn rude.
