Sis Anne Desit First up, Sis Anne Desit. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Junglepu$$y: The song was lovely, not the best you sent this season, but still a good song. The connection to cherophobia was not as lovely though. Unlike your entry last week, this did have some connection to your phobia, but overall I'm just getting more philophobia than cherophobia from this. Yes, there might be some overlap, but you knew that both phobias would be present so you should've made sure that your entry specifically fits your phobia. Angelyne: i dont know…. this just isn’t… it for me. like, the song has a beautiful meaning and all that. but the connection wasn’t strong enough for me… like from the essay you wrote all i got was “a fear of men or falling in love” and not “the fear of being happy”. and it didn’t help that i didnt really like the song as well. you cant make the song not bop…. but you cant make it bop either girl. Krampu$$y: I really liked your song this week, it sounded very beautiful to me and personally I don't have an issue with it being Japanese. That being said, I don't think this was a perfect choice for cherophobia. If Fuhlei had sent this for philophobia, it would've been my favourite of the week, you sending this for cherophobia is not as convincing. There is some overlap between those two phobias, so I'm not going to drag you as hard as last week, but I would've liked to see something that was related to cherophobia a little closer. Claudia: This was a pretty nice effort this week, though you definitely went a bit safer than last week. That's okay though, because all-around you did a very decent job. The connection itself wasn't completely solid, but I definitely got what you were going for and I loved how you linked it to Onitsuka's story, it added an extra layer to the connection that I appreciated. The song was really nice, it built really nicely and the part at the end was gorgeous. Good job!

Shiva Kindett Next up, Shiva Kindett. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Claudia: I was kinda confused at this honestly. I felt like this vaguely connected to the theme if you reached enough but I just didn't really get neophobia from it unfortunately. You said it was indirect and it was definitely indirect, perhaps too indirect, and I think you could've explained it better if a connection was there. The song... was fine, but pretty uninspiring and unexciting. I was left disappointed by this I'm afraid doll. Krampu$$y: You came through this week, an amazing choice! It was a lovely song and it fit your phobia very well. Your track record is a true rollercoaster, so I hope that you're not going down again next week, because if you keep delivering on this level, that'll be great. Angelyne: it was okay. nothing groundbreaking, nothing shocking, a vague connection and all. overall you did a job. Junglepu$$y: Clearly the judging panel is divided today because I thought this was stunning. The vagueness to neophobia? I don't see it, I think this fits very well. The song was great too, I loved it. Of course you have to please more than half of the panel if you want to win, but I think this rivals your Week 1 entry as your best entry of the season.

EJQL8 Next up, EJQL8. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: Choosing an instrumental as your entry was definitely a risk and I don't think it paid off. I needed you to execute the challenge in a more detailed way, instead of just presenting us with something vague like this. It does sound a bit dark and a bit unsettling but overall it's just not enough for me. And it's not a good thing when your entry comes across as you having searched "Panphobia" on Youtube or Spotify. Claudia: Yeah I mean this just comes across as though you searched "Panphobia" on Spotify or YouTube or wherever and picked the one you liked the most, which just won't cut it at this point of the competition. Instrumentals have been used very effectively this season but this one really fell flat as a very basic, bare connection to your phobia, and the song itself is just pretty unmemorable. It's a shame because I think there was a lot of scope to really excel in this challenge but this song really missed the mark. Junglepu$$y: While I didn't hate this, I just felt a bit underwhelmed by it. Panphobia had potential to deliver a really interesting entry and this barely touched that potential. It's not bad, just not enough. Angelyne: like i GET what you’re going for, i get the vibe and what this encompasses. however girl, this seems lazy. like, really lazy. like using bing.com and writing in the search tab “panphobia song” lazy. but there’s nothing wrong with being lazy, it just wont get you far.

Gonorrhea Diarrhoea Next up, Gonorrhea Diarrhoea. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Angelyne: ok yas. i liked this, i felt you executed this challenge well. but another popular artist? i’d love to see something new and different from you and i know you can deliver that. Claudia: This was nice! I liked the personal approach that you took to your explanation (though maybe you strayed a little too far from agoraphobia in places), and the song was cute. I don't really have anything else to say - another solid effort. Junglepu$$y: This was good. The connection to agoraphobia was there, albeit maybe not all the way there, but I could see what you were going for. This is also a decent song. Overall maybe not a big standout this week, but a solid performance. Krampu$$y: This was average to me. I'm not a big fan of the song but it's not bad either. I don't think it was an amazing choice for agoraphobia but again, it wasn't a terrible choice either. The lyrics kind of fit, although I was getting more of a social phobia vibe, rather than agoraphobia, but I got what you were going for. All in all this didn't impress me a lot.

Fuhlei Sheeo Next up, Fuhlei Sheeo. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Claudia: Two weeks in a row you have been miles ahead of your competition - this was excellence my dear. I loved the song, just a really, really great song that completely nailed the concept of philophobia. The connection was well thought through and it was all pretty creative too. Fantastic job this week doll, keep it up! Angelyne: Stunning, period! amazing song, great connection to the phobia, what more can i ask for? you nailed it my dear. Junglepu$$y: I mean, I have to stan. The connection to the phobia could've been explained a tiny bit better but the song is just... whew. I absolutely loved it, you snapped this week. Krampu$$y: I feel like I listened to a different entry because I don't get the hype. This was certainly a fitting choice for philophobia and I appreciate that. But the song itself was just cute to me. It wasn't anything particularly special. It was nice but not spectacular. Obviously you did a good job but why the other judges are loving it this much is a mystery to me.

Ordgie And finally, Ordgie. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: You had a rough time choosing an entry, based on what you said in the boudoir, and unfortunately I think it shows. The song itself is quite great actually, I enjoyed it. But claustrophobia? Ehh. I don't think it's an extreme stretch, not at all, but it wasn't a very accurate representation of the phobia either, I'd say. I think there were worse entries this week but usually you're very good at choosing songs that embody the challenge, so I'm a bit disappointed by this. Claudia: I really liked your song, but it's definitely clear that you struggled to find a fitting song for claustrophobia. I could kinda loosely see what you were going for with it, but not really enough for it to represent the phobia I'm afraid. In your description it felt like even you were confused by what you were saying and I certainly had no clue doll. It just didn't do it for me in that aspect unfortunately. Angelyne: this was a cute entry. however, claustrophobia is probably one of the most common phobias, so i wouldnt go so far to say that you had the hardest phobias out of the bunch. this was cute, but cute wont cut it in the top 6 queen. Junglepu$$y: Honestly, I thought this was kinda boring. Your explanation is an interesting idea but I'm not fully sold on any aspect of it. Definitely expected a bit more from you, as you've been the most consistent queen, but I guess everybody comes to a point where they don't have a good day.
