My question is, regardless of who the finale makes up, how will they film it? I haven’t seen anything and it’s typically a live finale with two lipsyncs that help decide the winner. How will they do that if California is shut down?

 

Also I just wanna way Gigi is so underwhelming. No personality and all of her looks blend into each other. She is a look queen so I expect her to get praised for that, but she gets a pass for everything else. How has she managed to survive being in the bottom the past few week?! It’s insane.

Gigi in the bottom for the stand up show? The flight to hell skit was funny and her Color Purple runway was fine.

After the edit being Team Gigi back when she won Snatch Game, it seemed to turn against her. I thought her commercial was fine but everybody slammed it.

 

I like Jaida but she presents beautiful glamour runway week after week. She does it well but there's no camp or quirk to her looks. Her standup was awful.

@Paul Raven Her stand up was fine, but underwhelming to me. Her fashion is the typical new young queen look that bores me. It's put together yes, but week after week I feel it's predictable. For Gigi it's more the previous weeks I feel she's done poorly, not so much stand up week. And the difference between Jaida and Gigi for me is that Jaida has personality and is likable. So was Heidi, despite not having a polished look. Gigi just comes off like a vacant Miss Game/Aquaria to me. I feel like had she been in a more competitive season she wouldn't have made it as far.

I like Gigi too and thought her stand-up was way better than I expected it to be, given how the show previewed her stumbling. But who was it who did her puppet in the mini-challenge? They clocked her for falling back on her robot schtick after the Snatch Game success.


I love Jaida as well, and she would be a deserving winner at the end. Her stand-up was terrible, even accounting for the fact that Sherry screwed her over by running long. (Just a cringeworthy concept.) All in all, I think I somewhat agree with Ru that this has been a somewhat strong season.

Despite Jaidas bad one woman show, she still looked absolutely flawless on the runway and that lip sync was AMAZING.

 

Ru truly loved Heidi, we’ve never seen him give a goodbye speech as long as the one he gave her. She will definitely be on the next All Stars, he and the producers won’t pass that up.

Agreed. She was impressing me for awhile, but then it all became the same, and he's hyped himself up to be this perfectionist who can never do no wrong, but he's not living up to his own expectations, nor mine. 

 

I loved Heidi's goodbye speech. Miss Congeniality for sure! If nothing else, she could always take over doing the voiceover of the old man on Family Guy who's always lusting after Chris Griffin, lol 

 

Jaida Essence Hall for the win! (P.S. he's pretty cute as a dude!)

I would bet on Jaida. She’s more consistent, professional, and well-rounded than Gigi and Crystal. 
 

Jackie was robbed. I would have loved to see her compete. She offered such a fun, unique perspective, and I thought her lip syncs were fabulous. Like Michelle said, she was Gilda Radner.
 

It’s all shameful because Sherry, in spite of being a disgusting creep and an awful human being, was very talented. (That save when she flubbed her line in the one-woman show: “I just had a horrible stroke and none of you did anything about it!” Hilarious.)

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.
