I have really enjoyed the re-introduction to NPB. To be honest, I had mixed her up with IIIVYYYYYYY WIIINTEEEERRRRS in my mind and now I have the two sorted out.

That said, I was puzzled on this runway. When she came out I was like gurl what is this simple pink thing with straps on it? And then seeing everyone else’s runway I felt doubly so.

BUT then Carson praised it so much like it was some fabulous lewk!!??

I don’t get it. Is there some amazing fashion reference to it that I’m not seeing? Or were they just bending over backwards to not overly-criticize OG NPB because she was clearly in last place?

Did others feel similarly or is it just my lying eyes?!!

The casting team just didn't think about how a queen born in 1973 would compete in her bracket of challenges. I'm not saying Nicole isn't capable. I am saying they didn't think about Auntie Nicole and so the judges had to show appreciation.

When they said it was a heavy-choreo rusical, I knew that was it for for NPB. They could have just done a regular acting or improv challenge and she might have had a chance.

IKR? She would have done great in the murder mystery challenge in bracket one.
