  1. Beat you this month with 6. But I slid in two last week. So just barely
  2. a full PhD and i still cannot read
  3. "More Than a Band" from Lemonade Mouth Oh this is actually a sweet song. It's from the DCOM Lemonade Mouth and being a non-HSM, non-Cheetah Girls DCOM to me means like auto-elimination from this rankdown. In addition it's up against "What's This" and "When You Wish Upon a Star" so obviously it's getting cut. So sorry to this and to the Lemonade Mouth fans. But let's be real. As big a fan as you may be of Lemonade Mouth that cannot match how big a fan I am of Lesbian Jesus Hayley Kiyoko. I mean I have her whole discography imprinted in my brain. "Curious" is a legit banger and it makes probably every playlist I ever make. (Except the KPOP ones...this may also just be a sign that every playlist I make is GAY). She's dating a former Bachelor contestant (one day I can give you the WHOLE Tilley family rundown LOL). I listened to like multiple episodes of Becca Tilley's Grey's Anatomy and relationship themed podcast just for Hayley Kiyoko tidbits. I think Hayley Kiyoko paved the way for future out artists like Fletcher and Renee Rapp. I'm obsessed. Continue the lesbian tradition and put her in the next animated Disney musical! Saving: What's This
  4. actually i'm gonna cut "more than a band" so i can spend a whole write-up on Hayley Kiyoko
  5. save what's this cut it's all right
  6. oh wow. i get to go first and last thanks @*Lily Mel B Evan Lysacek Hines Ward Zendaya Alexandra Raisman Janel Parrish Jordan Fisher
  7. I like this challenge. Like @FrogLenzen I like a design challenge because it forces queens to show their skills in a way that would have been so much more necessary in the older seasons and I also came to RPDR through Project Runway. I do think some of the queens trended towards spooky rather than GOTH and some queens went "punk rock" rather than Goth. Which whatever. The designs mostly came out strong. So here's what I would have placed the queens in this challenge: 1. Nymphia - This is the one I think is nailing the aesthetic of the challenge. I wonder if it being in all black is what had her place below Q because the details aren't as obvious. I also wonder if it's just karma from Utica's big coat losing so long ago that they want to give it to Q. I think what's kind of interesting about this season is that Q has 2 wins and Plasma had 2 wins and never at a point did I think that Nymphia, Sapphira, and Plane weren't the final 3. And I think that's because Nymphia and Sapphira both show so consistently that they are good at EVERYTHING. Nymphia may be trying to hide it but this is the second design challenge that she could have won and it's clear that she's talented. Even in a dress like this that's hard to walk down the runway, she never looked awkward. When removing the veil that was polish. It's all so unique and very cool and her fashion background shows. 2. Q - To start. I hate Q's face. I also hate that we are getting Q's panties AGAIN. For how well designed everything else is that she brings (to the point of being overdesigned) the fact that we see them again and again in nearly every outfit is insane to me. It's also not so much "goth" to me but whatever. It's undeniably good. She's undeniably very talented. It's a good look but not my personal winner. 3. Sapphira - Like Q, I think it's a smart move to have to much white because it makes the details pop. Again not so much "goth" as just "spooky" but I like that you are getting a full concept and character with Sapphira. She knows what she likes and she knows what she is good at and this is all of that. Easily a Top 3. Sapphia having only one win is a tragedy when she could have 3 under her belt. 4. Dawn - I think the gap between Dawn and Plane Jane is larger than what can be reflected in a ranking like this. It's a dress I would like to see the details more so I wouldn't be surprised if this would rise in my rankings after I saw a well-lit picture. I think Dawn, perhaps predictably, nailed Neo-Goth. I think you really need the lace. 5. Plane Jane - I could really throw Plane Jane in the bottom 3 but I think fundamentally her design had more to it than Morphine. It's not very goth. It's fine. I think when it starts getting down to brass tacks Plane Jane is going to need to step up her runways. She is growing on me every week. I think she's fun. But her runways leave A LOT to be desired. Not just in design challenges but the costumes she brought from home. This kind of expemplifies that. It's fine. Not really on theme. But not really great. And this is a season where her two biggest competitors do everything she does just as well and outshine her by far in the runway. 6. Morphine - The makeup and face are beautiful which we can expect from Morphine. But the dress is basic. For as much as queens like Morphine and Plasma were ragging on Mhi'ya for getting help, I do think they both could have benefited from a little help themselves. Morphine in particular I think needed more embellishment. It's simple. Kudos for her doing it all herself. But maybe if she went to Sapphira and asked for 2 hours worth of help there would have been more to show on the runway. 7. Mhi'ya - I think I see what Ru sees with Mhi'ya. And not just because I'm indoctrinated in to the #Flipster cult. Mhi'ya (and Amanda Tori Meeting) both remind me of the early seasons of Drag Race. And I think Ru loves a queen who is unexpected and comes from a background more similar to her own (which is why it's RUPAUL'S Drag Race and why a musical theater queen will never win unless they essentially have a perfect run like Jinkx Monsoon). Especially when you have Mhi'ya going up in a lip sync like this and showing off her ballroom background. I don't think those details go unnoticed by Ru and I certainly think that's why they delight me. Mhi'ya in a lot of ways feels like a breath of fresh air from the early LOGO days and I mean that in the best way possible. If she flips her way to the top 4 I'll be thrilled. But I wouldn't be surprised if Top 6 were her ceiling. 8. Plasma - I don't know even if she went with just a black trumpet dress that she would have been safe but maybe she would have been fighting for that bottom 3 spot with Morphine instead of finding her eliminated. This was a disaster. There's no way around that. It was bad from head to toe. The wig didn't go with the outfit except that it was black. The outfit was over-designed and poorly executed. I'm also going to say that I think every week Ru remembers Plasma exists despite her two wins and Mhi'ya's Cher impression lives in her head eternally. I've long that that Plasma's best case scenario was basically Rosé by making the finale and having no chance of winning, I think that in this scenario being "robbed" is a better career boost than being a distant 4th place. Anyway, I'm very much NOT a musical theater queen so SEE'YA PLASMA. Overall Ranking: 1. Sapphira 2. Mhi'ya 3. Nymphia 4. Plane Jane 5. Dawn 6. Morphine 7. Q Plasma
  8. Just like Thicc and Stick predicted in their winning number “ASMR Lover” I am screaming “Mhi’ya Mhi’ya” every week.
  9. This is my wildest dream for this season come true. Flipsters unite.

  14. True to Your Heart (Mulan) I am cutting this despite being the biggest DCOM hater but that's because I am the biggest DCOM hater. I don't want to have to re-listen to a CAMP ROCK song. So this is gone instead because 1) It's a credits song and 2) If you think Mulan this is like the LAST song that comes to mind. It's no "Reflection" or "I'll Make a Man Out of You" it's not even the "Reflection (Pop Version)" done by Christina Aguilera. This is 98 Degrees song. 98 DEGREES. Like the 5th boy band you are going to think of in the boy band era. They are behind: NSync, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men. Literally Entertainment Weekly lists them at FIVE. I also think now what I'd like to see with a movie like Mulan, I'd like to see more songs with like an obvious Chinese influence. I think that would happen today. Anyway, least memorable Mulan song with second tier boy band group. Easy cut. Saving: So This is Love

  16. Erika Jayne Erika Jayne is a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills. She’s also a “singer” though her singing career was financed through her old lawyer husband embezzling money from plane crash victims and committing other financial fraud to the tune of >$20 million. There are some crimes I’m like cool with. Frauding the US government? Sure. But stealing money from families who lost people in a deadly plane crash is a NO. Erika is also probably my least favorite house wife in Beverly Hills and I’m baffled that she’s lasted so long in this rankdown. She was on S24 of DWTS and I don’t remember a single dance of hers! She partnered with Gleb, lasted 5 weeks, and was eliminated. I assume she kind of just slipped through the cracks. Saving the miz
  17. with these noms i almost wish somebody would take over for me lol. i've been waiting to just get down between two options all day. but i'm gonna make my cut soon i guess. if anybody is passionate for any of them lmk
  18. Madame Web Hello, this is it, we've reached it. The peak of CINEMA. I can't think of the last time I went to the theater and was just like "WHAT IS GOING ON." If I was the only person in the theater that would have been the best way to experience this because there were only like 5 people in my screening and I still had to hold myself back from going "IN 1973!?!??!?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?????" This movie takes place in 2003! Why! I will sincerely say it does not matter at all. Plot points make no sense. I need to know what happened in the writer's room. Dakota Johnson the entire movie seems confused as to why she is there. She is thinking the entire time "I need a new agent, why does mine keep doing this to me. What life choices lead me to this moment." I've seen some of these actors act before and I know they can. In this movie it's like every single one of them was told to start filming after 1 pass through the script. It's like slightly above a first table read. I think I could see this movie 10 times and come out each time having a brand new experience because it will never make sense. It's perfect. I need 10 more Madame Web movies. SPOILERS FOR MADAME WEB. Here's just a breakdown of what I think are some of the most absurd moments: 1. In 1973 in a pitch black doctor's office, Madame Web's heavily pregnant mom is being told by a gynecologist at her presumably midnight appointment which is a normal time to have a doctor's appointment that her baby has a rare neuromuscular disease. Madame Web's Mom is like "There are making advancements in single nucleotide target gene therapy. Especially with things found in the Amazon." And I practically screamed because IN 1973! LADY. MADAME WEB WRITERS. In 1973 you could get a PhD sequencing a single gene. They hadn't even invented PCR and a thermocycler. 2. The spiders are magic because of PEPTIDES in their saliva. I imagine they were like "okay the audience now knows what DNA and RNA is so we need a new science explanation." 3. Madame Web is just Dakota Johnson. She kind of dies and has a vision. Featured in this vision very heavily is like a neon sign letter S. Later in the movie we see that S is part of the PEPSI sign on the building filled with fireworks that is dangerous, explosive, and unstable. That letter is just dangling and we the audience are watching and we go "Yes, that's it, she just has to hold out long enough for the letter S to fall and kill the mean spider guy who is trying to kill her and the teenagers. Foreshadowing." The villain is killed when the letter P falls on him. Of course he is. 4. This is a movie about babysitting. 5. Madame Web's paramedic partner is Adam Scott playing himself as Uncle Ben Parker. AKA Spider-Man's uncle. In the movie his sister-in-law Mary is pregnant with unnamed baby (Spider-Man). They never say the words Peter Parker because of I'm pretty sure Sony and Disney contract agreements. For some reason Dakota Johnson is invited to the baby shower. She fails at a game because she has to be like "My mom is dead. She died in childbirth." 6. The dead mom dies in childbirth in PERU. Dakota Johnson Madame Web is delivered by Spider-People. Somehow she makes it back to the US and is put in the US foster care system but manages to keep a whole neatly organized suitcase of her mother's work. 7. The Year is 2003. Probably taking place in New York City not even 2 years after 9/11. Madame Web is wanted for child abduction, stealing a taxi cab, and ramming that taxi cab through a diner to hurt the bad guy to save the teenagers. She has a vision where the spider-guy who delivered her is like "you have to go to Peru." She wakes up and wakes the teens up and is like "I have to go to Peru." She then goes to Peru. Presumably on an airplane. She drops the kids off with Adam Scott Uncle Ben. 8. Madame Web is in Peru with one notebook from her mom and a map from her mom labeled MAP OF PERU. She is in the jungle which she reached by bus. It was the right jungle. We know this because she sees a creek. And the fallen branch by the creek matches the picture taken THIRTY YEARS AGO. That's right, nothing has moved in 30 years. 9. Time travel astral projection where she learns "my mom didn't hate me." 10. Uncle Ben is watching these three teens who are supposed to stay hidden for a week. They can't go outside because the bad guy has ZOSIA MAMET on payroll using NSA level technology to CSI find teenager faces that have been mocked up from the bad guy's dreams. The bad guy got the NSA technology by poisoning a woman and asking her for her NSA password and then I guess just walked right in and stole it all. We don't see that. 11. At the very end of the 1 week stay at Uncle Ben's sister-in-law Mary PARKER's house she goes in to labor. Despite having hid these three teens for a week he's like "well I guess I have to bring them with me to the hospital. 12. On the way to the hospital Madame Web returns from Peru, uses the same stolen taxi they are on the lookout for and sees that the kids are not there. She then steals an ambulance and uses it to once again hit the bad guy with a car. 13. In the hospital the nurse is like "only immediate family allowed" and Madame Web Dakota Johnson is like "They are all mine." This appeases the nurse despite Madame Web being 30 and these are three teenagers of three different ethnicities. 14. Her end scene outfit. Score: 100000/10
  19. i will be joining. i just have to remember what the routines i liked are
  20. A-E-I-O-U (The Caterpillar Song) from Alice in Wonderland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rbDoYrBY6s I'm cutting a song that I think I've only been bringing along. I think I'm the only person that's a real fan of this and that applies to most of the Alice in Wonderland songs. A bummer to lose them because they are some of Disney's most interesting efforts, but the songs themselves are often pretty short and kind of out there. The "A-E-I-O-U" part of this song is actually pretty short, coming in at just under 45 seconds. It's banked together on the soundtrack with the "Who R U" scene which lasts nearly 5 minutes, but The Caterpillar himself isn't singing. There were a lot of songs I wanted to save and as it is of the lot of them this comes in as a pretty easy cut. Especially because there are a lot of other Alice songs left in this rankdown (surprisingly? Though I imagine more of them will be gone after the anthology songs are all taken out).
