I think Detox performed better with Wilmer Valderaama than Coco. It took Coco a ridiculously long time to get her shit together around him before she could do the scene without breaking character. And Detox gave her character a personality by channeling Groucho Marx (albeit in a shoddy sort of way) during her bit with WV, while Coco just came off as a starstruck and generic girl. Coco also seemed to do a lot of mugging right into the camera, which was off-putting to me. Everyone was supposed to be over the top, but not breaking the 4th wall like that.

And as kitschy as the sombrero was, it made Detox's runway more Latin than Coco, who looked more Caribbean/West Indies. It looked like something Rihanna would wear if Rihanna didn't love dressing like a hoochie so much. I know the judges don't usually hold the queens to the runway theme 100%, but I would have dinged Coco for that.
