A terrible drag race moment we don't talk about enough

Holland season 2 episode 4, the bottom 2 are the Countess and Ivy. Countess has a challenge win and this is Ivy's 3rd time in the bottom 2. The song is "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue. The song starts... and Ivy absolutely demolishes the Countess, like it's not even a competition. The Countess walks around barely knowing the words or doing anything while Ivy is giving the performance of her life to stay in this competition. Ivy is doing tricks, air guitars, flipping her hair, and giving what the song needs, Countess is giving Charlie Hides. So you'd think the result would be easy? NO...the judges basically tell Ivy they don't like her and even though the Countess's lip sync sucked they wanted to keep her anyway, so they send Ivy home. WHAT???

What makes this even worse is this is a song about racism. And the judges send home a POC queen over their white fave DESPITE the POC queen demolishing.

And the Countess had also previously worked with the host on the first season... so go figure.

One of the most blatant examples of production disregarding the competition to see their faves go further, and I think we weren't mad enough at how robbed Ivy was.
