being on the live also made me realize that the contestants are lowkey out of touch. like KB and McKenna didn't even know what the elimination format is for Sunday and Monday's episode and had to be told by a fan in comments... meanwhile we are out here intensely predicting and debating who is at risk on each of the next two episodes 💀 also given that they seem to be so supportive about Triston winning, i doubt they have much awareness about the sexism of Idol voters + the country bias + the lack of female winners.
kinda making me realize that i should not care as much if they aren't even aware in the first place!
