i think toot/boot should be one point each and top toot/bottom boot should be two points each to avoid something like salina's one toot keeping her from being bottom boot (loosey deserved). 

 

so for example if each got 42 votes:

loosey: 0 top toot, 0 toot, 36 boot, 6 bottom boot = (36*-1) + (6*-2) = -48 or -114%

salina: 0 top toot, 1 toot, 5 boot, 36 bottom boot = (1*1) + (5*-1) + (36*-2) = -76 or -181%

I agree. I think it's weird that Saliva has the most BOTTOM BOOTS by far but somehow isn't bottom boot. It's giving Salina favoritism from the other Ru girls (Sibling Rivalry, FPR, etc.)  Bimbo one of her LA friends confirmed.

Miss Bo is the biggest Saliva hater here so I’m surprised she didn’t rig it for her to be bottom

Anetra still not being bottom 2 with this formula despite wearing that atrocity  Crazy.

[Relampago.]

Blair becoming a Joey Jay-type thirst trap queen is unsurprising but annoying nonetheless. 
 

Honestly lemme retract my Aura drags. We need less white queens becoming defacto OnlyFans models!

Sasha stomped on Shea so that made sense. It was a deserved win.

 

Stinkx embarrassed herself on stage and served manic wine mom, while Monet catwalked all over her. I’m not sure what happened there besides production getting bold.

monét had the best track record too don't even need the "second best" qualifier

[Hephaestus]

Probably a controversial opinion but lip syncing for the crown shouldn't have been a thing from the beginning. Imagine busting your ass the entire competition only to lose to someone who pulls out a better gag or is more athletic than you.

I’m not doing math like that

I agree which is why I think the way S14 did it is the best way so far.

 

Let the girls showcase their best performance in their style, pick the best ones for a top 2 lipsync, and boom. Camden was a better lipsyncer than Willow with a better track record but Willow still won which I thought was fair. 
 

The finale really should matter in some way because otherwise we get girls like Ella Vaday smashing all season then completely flubbing the finale and winning anyways. That doesn’t sit right with me!

Yeah, I agree. I was so happy when I heard that S14 was bringing back individual performances because I thought they were great during S8's finale and I hope they'll keep doing them.

 

I still think there's some sort of disadvantage even in having the final decision come down to a lip sync (like, I don't think Bianca could've won one against either Adore or Courtney for example), but at the same time I can't think of a better way to do it that isn't judging the track record alone (which would be super boring and make the whole thing predictable).

 

I guess they can always rig the song choice to favour a certain contestant, but after the Shea/Sasha thing they can't really be sure how it's gonna go anyway.

Most unsatisfying endings are

 

1) CAN3

2) AS3

3) As7

 

i personally like Jinkx as a winner but I think monet Stan’s are right to be salty.  It made no sense and was an unsatisfying conclusion regardless.  
 

Kimmy and Fierce not LSFTC was rage inducing because 1) fierce had the best track record and 2) kimmy got the best critiques for the final challenge.  
 

so …?????!

 

[Edge Of Glory]

im a jinkx stan down (and a monet stan too tbf) but like...if they had shown all of monet's stunts and gags in their full glory during that final lipsync? i would've proudly admitted defeat bc it could've absolutely been one of the most legendary lipsyncs just on her part

[Femalien]

season 9's finale did what had to be done, i remember it vividly. The day of the finale taping the spoiler girls on reddit were sitting around chewing on wheat,  tumbleweeds rolling around, everybody bored af waiting for the foregone conclusion of Shea being crowned. Shea was simply not hype at the time, and it would have been detrimental to the show to have yet another boring obvious winner. When the results of the taping leaked it created such a massive shakeup that basically repeaked the interest for the show. 

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

Jinx is talented so I don’t mind but she’s def coddled by production in both seasons she was in lmao 

 

 

blatant favoritism but she’s so appealing that it’s ok to ignore lol

Speak on it! What a travesty that they didn't put either of them in the top 2, especially Fierce who had a good track record and gave great TV. I truly don't know what production saw in Jada.

I have no doubts Jada being friends with Brooke had something to do with it. There’s literally no other explanation, but the top 2 that season was tragic even if Giselle did well.

She’s actually so stunning, she looks INSANE

Phony might've beat Jynx in that final lip sync, but Trinity destroyed her in the So What lip sync before, so Phony shouldn't even have been taking up screen time during Swish Swish, bish!

Which is even weirder since Brooke has allegedly little to no decision power in the whole thing (this is what I've heard, at least). That top 2 was a such mess though, they wanted to crown a francophone so bad they couldn't see how instantly iconic Kimmy and Fierce were. Tragic.
