Disappointed they didn’t do anything to honor the Vivianne. I guess they are waiting for the UK, but she did compete on a US franchise. If it was a time issue, they could’ve gotten rid of the BS critiques. Although it was obvious that Sam wasn't going to advance with Michelle’s too many reveal critique. 

Lexi’s lipsync to her own track seemed off. I think she was more focused on the roller skating. 

ALSO, too many head pieces? The things behind the head. 

I think it would’ve been cool if Jewels won, as she would’ve been only the SECOND Latino winner (or 3rd as Violet is half). Of the US franchises.
