Well, we have at least one example from previous seasons of a (semi) professional queen being born through one of these makeovers.

There's a case to be made for either.

What're you talking about?

The thing is - even for those of us who empathize with that headspace, even from experience - we all know that there are limits to the kind of support that one can reasonably expect from others.

Aw, you're too sweet, henny.

Oh, I've only caught that in the previews - so yeah, I'm not there to 100% yet myself. But I can see it coming.

Oh, I expect a lot of us in these threads have at least some experience with affective clinical disorders, in some form in the past. Self included. So it's easy to recognize the steps that Nina could definitely take to help herself in that regard.

No small part of the gag last week was expecting that to happen then, if only not for Valentina's unfortunate meltdown.

The production schedule does seem awfully stuttered. It seems like the cheer challenge, its parade of injuries not withstanding, certainly cut into other parts of the schedule. Having the crew already onhand probably helped expedite shooting this episode. But I'd be hard-pressed to imagine they took any less than two…

Unsurprisngly, having more than its fair share of relatively stable, well-adjusted guys (say, Khasan and Justin) makes for middling TV. No one's 100% disgusting, but the bad behavior and occasional ludicrousness from the other four make the show not especially engrossing.

Faye Dunaway, doggy-paddling in vintage Halston, as the imperious, powerful, but sensitive cruise director.

Some people with these extremely depressive personas, it loops around to being adorable - especially when everyone onboard just accepts the fact that this is Nina's personality baseline. It seems clear that Nina's coming to the realization (however slow) that she can't rely on unending, unconditional positivity from…

Oh, as I recall, he uses a professional (re: pr0nstar) for that particular tutorial.

Nina's edit was Derrick Berry-level in how obvious it was that she was out of her league.

I might slightly give the edge to Willam's X-rated version.

Random 'pinions:

You miss the point that your stated opinion is sufficiently beneath contempt as to not warrant any serious consideration.

…and moreover, those percentiles are likely to drop even further the more one narrows it down to lead, rather than supporting characters.

Truthfully, the estimates in the US (and other Western countries) that use the ~5% are typically about self-reported LGBT identity.

Something, something, SJW cuck.
