My whole thing with the Onya vs Lexi drama... Did Onya not know it was Lexi's garment until Lexi freaked? Because from what it sounded like, Onya got spray paint on it, then realized it was Lexi's.... then stayed quiet about it until Lexi got upset. What she should've done was go to Lexi right away when she realized what she did and own up to it. Could've avoided the whole thing.

I thought the drama in this episode was crazy ffff. Onya dealt with the entire thing so badly. Not initially coming clean and then exploding when being rightfully called out is wild. I do think it was more about the principle of the thing because... they were working with literal trash and I don't think the bits of Lexi's tarp that they ruined... would have made a difference to her presentation. Not only that, but wouldn't it have been a pretty simple fix to just spray paint over it again. That said, I was fully on Lexi's side. It could have been diffused a lot faster if she had just been honest.
The judging also made no sense to me. I thought Hormona and Acacia were easy safe. Lydia looked terrible. I gasped when she came around the corner with the angler fish that had been crushed at the bottom of her suitcase and I nearly passed out at her third look which looked like it was going to fall apart at any minute. How she wasn't bottom three at minimum is beyond me. Kori also looked bad. Lana continues to just give nothing. I feel like there was definitely more in the tank if they had eliminated her and kept Hormona, but oh well. Arietty's lionfish look was the best of the night.

She's one of my faves looks-wise. But what do I know?!
I like Lydia’s campy chaotic drag; give her a few more years and she could be creating some incredible looks, but to be making these clever, albeit kinda messy, looks at 23 is still very impressive.
I feel like Lydia is doing that thing where she’s so desperate to think outside the box that she’s forgotten what the box looks like. The pink look last week, the angler fish jockey this week that was a like a Halloween costume of a cowboy on a horse. I think she needs to needs to stop one or two evolution cycles back in terms of ideas. She’s clearly super talented but I think there’s both an editing and a taste issue nn.
Her riding an angler fish and not a seahorse...
I can see it from Onya’s side. If someone comes in yelling right behind you it is instinctual not to own up right away. You don’t want to feel the wrath of someone’s fresh anger. She immediately owned up to all the other girls, but not Lexi herself because as she said, she felt it wasn’t the right time.
Onya knows what makes good TV
I can see why Onya wasn't willing to fess up in the moment, but Lexi was more upset than angry at first. Surely Onya could've figured out that Arrietty would either rat her out or Lexi would investigate a bit more, so it didn't make sense to not apologise the first chance she got. And then when Lexi was rightfully angry cause Onya pretended she didn't exist when she asked the first time, Onya got annoyed in response and started swearing. I'm glad they sorted it, but Asia said it best.
This weeks Pit Stop really made me realise just how much I’ve missed having Auntie Asia on my screen.
