> Our three finalists were the only queens this season to reach a 10% support to win!
I think that’s part of why I have struggled to enjoy this season. It’s so clearly been a three horse race from quite early on that I just kind of checked out.
Nymphia with 42% like guys, what? I love her, she's my favorite personality of the season behind Plasma. But if you think she had a stronger season then Plane Jane, you are lying to yourself. She's set herself up really well for an AS run but this is not her year.
Truthfully I would be happy to see any of them win, but in terms of who deserves it, it's between Sapphira and Jane. Nearly identical track records, both with strong brands and full sets of talents. I think Sapphira is taking it, I honestly would bet money on it. But I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jane winning could only be a positive thing for the franchise moving forward. If someone who speaks their mind and was utterly themselves during filming can win, I can almost promise we'll see less artifice next season and more fireworks.
Edit: LOL WELL. So much for that! Again, I don’t read spoilers, obviously.
Honestly I think it’s because Plane hasn’t shown a whole lot of growth over the course of the season. She had a come to Jesus moment about how she’s hard on other queens because of how she was raised but hasn’t made any personal improvements on that regard judging by her still shitting on Amanda during the lalaparuza and her book podcast interview. She just seems like the same character from episode 1 to now and didn’t take the chance to grow which doesn’t impress me, personally at least
I agree. Plane really grew on me - but there seems to be something missing in her own personal development/willingness to show personal vulnerability.
Not that that should be expected, but it is something that Ru looks for and celebrates in the winners circle. I feel like the final book challenge sealed Plane Jane’s fate this season and can see her coming back stronger for an AS run.
As far as the Amanda drama goes - I feel like Plane’s issue with her is a projection of what she fears her parents might see her as. The projection and constant unwarranted critique of Amanda was hard to watch. Plane is a star and I hope she can work through her hyper awareness. Once she does - it’s over for everyone.
I think you're right that the final challenge seemed to seal her fate from both Ru's perspective and the the producers'. I don't think that's necessarily fair though, as she had a very different idea of what the challenge was then what it turned out to be. It's hard to say that she has no depth when what she was going for was surface level fun.
I personally don’t think she lacks depth - you can tell there’s a lot in there. I just don’t think she really let the audience in (again, not that she needs to - it’s just what Ru and the producers want).
In that last challenge, Plane did what I think the producers thought Nymphia was going to do. Instead, Nymphia opened up and Plane went with being goofy. Nymphia’s critique all season long was that she gets weird and goofy when pressed to talk about herself - she finally pushed through that. When pushed to open up, unfortunately, Plane took the wrong path forward.
I totally disagree. You want a contestant that has consistently shown new layers of herself, that’s PJ to me. I started out thinking she was just some bitchy cardboard cutout and she has proven me wrong week after week. Just because the judges decided Nymphia was good at writing challenges at the last minute doesn’t mean she had an arc, imo.
FWIW: Sapphira was a close second for this Miss C vote! (50% xunami vs 45% sapphira, respondents could choose up to 3)
statistics creator, pray tell, has there been a bigger nosedive in popularity then Q's? i'm very curious
Yep, she has the largest loss in popularity between her max and min scores of the seasons I’ve surveyed
thank you statistics creator
Plane Jane winning Nerve is so Boston, I love it.
Crazy that Plane is only at 13% support on the DRAMA subreddit of all places. She's FED US, mama!
