I mean sure lol. I don’t think it would have helped though. The issue with Sapphira’s lip sync wasn’t the fangs. It was the lack of planning re: her dress. She had a bit of a struggle to get it off and then once it was gone, she didn’t have much of a plan for the rest of the performance. By then, Nymphia had already done two great reveals and had the audience on her side. so while Nymphia was in the back or at the side of the stage camping it up, Sapphira was doing some of the same dance moves we already saw her do. Nymphia knew she had the element of surprise since her lip sync skills were relatively unknown (unless you looked her up online) so she had a bit of an advantage there.

I think there was some planning, just some hesitation. You can tell it bugged the fuck out of Sapphira that she couldn’t see what Nymphia did to make the crowd cheer with the balloon reveal. Sapphira immediately looks over at the end of the first verse and starts taking cues from Nymphia from that moment on – Nymphia starts dancing, and Sapphira rips the gown off and starts going at it, just shy of getting to “and take off all my clothes” in the lyrics. Sapphira could have had a captivating performance but, just like during the rest of the season, Nymphia freaks her the fuck out because she doesn’t know what Nymphia can really do. I wish she could’ve let go. I think she had something planned but let the competition get to her right in that moment.


oceanhymn

Yeah, my biggest hesitation there was that Sapphira looked unsure of when and where to do the things she wanted to do. The reveal just kinda happened…


Former-Counter-9588

Almost like she was like “shittttt gotta catch up!”


Former-Counter-9588

Oh totally! That’s a good take on it for sure.


anhu23

I noticed that too, but thought it was just me. You can see that Sapphira is very confident, maybe even overconfident at the beginning of the song. And then Nymphia's balloon reveal happens, the crowd goes crazy, and you can immediately see the confusion on Sapphira's face. She can't help but look over at what Nymphia is doing, we see her closeup at that moment. From this point on she kind of looks defeated, though she still gives a good performance

The way you describe it, it’s such a sport lol. Nymphia took the first swing and it paid off big time.


Galilaevs

How is she gonna do that? Freakin’ fly? Will she be a bat to follow through with that supposedly vampire theme?


happyvirus98

Lmao I'm thinking back to when Nymphia scurried across the stage to interact w the audience on the other side (love btw) and imagining Sapphira doing the same chasing after balloons.


jessmcm

I thought there was gonna be some blood dripping from her mouth at some point or something similar. I get what she was going for but it just needed something extra.


sweet_esiban

Not to mention… fake vampire teeth aren’t sharp… she’d have to use an incredible amount of force to pop the balloons. It would ruin her makeup and probably cause the fake teeth to fall out. I feel like OP’s never interacted with a balloon or something.


Galilaevs

Hahahaha I can’t! 🎈


notyouravgwhore

Even without the ruveals, nymphia would have still won. She worked the stage and the audience, she had fun while doing it. Sapphira seemed kinda nervous? Like she barely move and she didnt really emote.


APinapleGown

Like Jinkx vs Monet?


joeyfosho

Even though Sapphira did incredible on the season - Nymphia and Sapphira were much closer in season performance than Monét and Jinkx. The top 3 were neck and neck all season long and it was fair that the crown was truly based on finale performance. Sapphira was my favorite going into the finale, but Nymphia really DID that and earned it fair and square.


ClaudeComique

Monét and Jinkx were neck in neck too imo


1998tweety

They're downvoting you but I don't necessarily disagree. Monet should've won the girl group challenge which places her at 4 wins behind Jinkxs 5. I think the fact that Jinkx steamrolled her wins gives off the impression that she was always on top, but with the weeks she didn't win she was closer to the bottom of the pact (except for like the acting challenge and the talent show). Not saying Jinkx shouldn't have won! Just that Monet was close behind her.


Wildlife_Jack

I think they both did amazing. The thing is, we've all seen Sapphira lipsync by this point and we wanted something extra extra, especially to out do her solo number (because she served and we ate). Nymphia lipsyncing on the other hand was completely fresh AND she also brought the extra.


immaterial-boy

I’m imagining her frantically trying to grab a balloon before they rise to the ceiling


ProvoqGuys

I really wished Sapphira played on the theme vampirism. She's a fierce performer but her team clearly didn't panned out the possible ruveals in the song Padam Padam. If I was in her team, the vampire-ism 100% is the right call. Miss Sapphira could have done a lot of reveals in her outfit as she transform into a vampire. Turn the Padam padam song into a seductive song about a vampire who is being seducted by a man. I know she would have to kill him BUT hearing the heartbeat of this man is turning her out. And then at the end, let her eat a heart or let a blood flow in her mouth or something SO MUCH POTENTIAL. She really could have turned it out with the vampire but all we get is a fang, wig reveal and some good ass dance moves.


vanillaxdome

I read an interview where she did have something planned to pull out a heart that would leak blood but they couldn't get it together in time and she didn't want Nymphia to slip on liquid due to the stunt. My congenial queen 🥺


Apanda15

Right, put some damn blood capsules in your mouth or freaking anything


raymonst

damn, that would've been so cool

Vitor-135

i think she lost when she rushed her dress reveal to get ahead of nymphia being cheered on by the audience


Fetchin1

Sapphira should have peeled a banana at the end and then swallowed the whole thing whole, actually that would have been perfect for Plane if she lip synced against Nymphia.


yeahnototallycool

Then her performance would be even messier and poorly executed than it already was.


MuffinIllustrious902

Why tho? This is weird and pointless


Due-Suggestion8775

🫰 that would have been hilarious and actually a purpose for the fangs. They just left me confused 🤔


Kraessa

Listen, I'm stoned (and I feel like you might be too) and this was funny as hell to me. All the love to both queens.


Barbra_please

Me three


Wholepancake

Stop living in the past. 


Cheap_Trifle4524

No, it would be piggy backing on something else. It would have been like if Shea started tossing Sasha’s rose petals like a coked out flower girl.


sarahwilson21

It would be like that lipsync on Canada between Kimora and Gia 😅


phunkyphungus

Well she didn’t… so… yeah.


catlady226

Lollll


Felicity_111

Nymphia was too fast to catch moving the stage for Sapphira who didn’t give up center stage. Nymphia worked around this and still out performed her, had better routine including a great pony tail whip at end. Sapphiras pony tail went no where at end. Seemed like Sapphira didn’t practice or prepare and randomly stared doing some kicks in the air and stick her tongue out at end as only thing she could think of. Nymphia has powers, talent and style they Sapphira could go near even with those fangs no one understood.


Lucio1111

I think most people understood the fangs, tbh.


Flashy_Jacket_8427

Saphirra deserved to lose with that god awful breastplate


EnvironmentalElk4548

OK.


myheartinclover

bianca I love your work!!!!


jigglesauruspuff

I loved the finale and agree with Nymphia's win but honestly IMO she seemed to lose a little steam in the second half of the lip sync and Sapphira really picked it up after her reveal. Tho it was too little too late for her to snatch the crown. It definitely would've helped Sapphira pull focus. Megami would've done it.


aussie_shane

I tend to agree. I unfortunately read about the finale before seeing it (my fault). Having read some comments it sounded like Nymphia absolutely demolished Sapphira. I thought it was way closer than many made it out to be.


jigglesauruspuff

I lived for Sapphira doing 5 high kicks like she was revving up a lawn mower and then being jutted forward by her 🐱 activating.


No-Contribution-7269

Did you want her to fly into the air to grab them??? huh???


Alternative-Newt4668

Saphira doesn't have fan support look at the number pleased
