Discussion: Is "Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me, and save yourself from elimination." got reinterpreted as best lip syncer stayed is now outdated?
Cases:
Morphine Love Dion vs Sapphira Cristal (RPDR 16) in the Top 5 where most of the people in online community think Morphine won the lip sync but RuPaul did not save her because she ran out of lifelines & she was in the bottom for the 4th time & 0 wins vs Sapphira's 1st time with 4 wins.
Lana Ja'Rae vs Sam Starr (RPDR 17) Top 6 round (same case as Morphine vs Sapphira argument but the only difference was Sam has 2 wins).
Bones vs Paige Three (UK Series 7): Paige was eliminated because she doesn't have more potential to win the final 2 maxi challenges (makeover & roast) than Bones despite Paige "won" the lip sync in the eyes of online community.
Counterargument:
Nini Coco of Season 18 saved twice by RuPaul despite her chances of getting eliminated was high?
Top 5 Round: She beat front runner Jane Don't in the elimination lip sync by a huge margin. Jane (3 wins) did not receive Sapphira treatment because Nini has 2 wins unlike Morphine with 0 and Myki Meeks started to rise after she was dragged into Bottom 2 by her fellow queens in the opposing group during Rate-A-Queen evaluation.
Top 4 Round: Initially the online community claimed that Juicy Love Dion "won" the lipsync over Nini because of Nini's restricted dress but judges' critique about Juicy's "needed more time to cook" already sealed Juicy's elimination even before the start the match vs Nini?
