just wanted to post this here:   something i've realized is that regardless of how well Abi is performing in social media stats, we (Abi stans) are going to continue to be called "delusional" by non-fans. that will only change if/when she wins. even then, people will still make excuses about how she was able to win (like they do with Sam, Maddie, and Candice). i get it since history is not on our side, but is still annoying having to endure excuses about how the stats could be inaccurate or invalid when she happens to be in the lead.    nobody here should feel delusional, discouraged, or gaslit into thinking they are crazy for thinking she has a chance to win - the stats have very much shown throughout the season, and tonight so far, that she is a frontrunner for the title. 

I'd like Abi to do "What I Was Made For?" or "If I Could Turn Back Time", since the latter song was sung when she had bronchitis.

Inger and Lavrans continue to be ahead of the pack for me ... my final 2

nvm
