Well-written

The prose feels especially clean this time! After a copyedit, here's what I'm left with:

She was the second to be eliminated, — with the sentence prior, this could be construed as her being the second eliminated from the whole show
- added "on the season". ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
required teams to compete to earn the most cash performing burlesque and selling gift certificates — after revisiting this, I feel like a rearrangement: "required teams to perform burlesque and sell gift certificates, while competing to earn the most cash" is a bit clearer.
- Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
She was referenced during the "reading" challenges — someone unfamiliar might not realize that this is essentially a roast battle.
- Added "(or comedy roast)" ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps link "herstory"?

Verifiable with no original research

There are some questionable sources, like ScreenRant, Pride.com, and The Georgia Voice, but I believe their uses are defendable (i.e. uncontroversial claims, attributed opinion, reliable author, locally dedicated paper). Earwig shows a solid score of 31%. The Pride.com quote is hefty, but I like it: it's attributed and gives some nice context/personality. However:

For the statement of opinion, please defend Thotyssey's use. They don't seem like a prominent publication.

I would replace the Decider.com source with this Hollywood Reporter one (because why not)

Broad in its coverage

I think you could knock down two birds with one stone by using her website to source the day/month and location of birth in the infobox. The best source I could find for her birthday was this unfortunate tweet. But, of course, all power to you if you don't think it's too important or would prefer secondary sources.

Once again, I am impressed by your work in cobbling this together! A cursory search for sources has shown me nothing substantial. Specifically, I tried to find any scraps about her childhood and came away emptyhanded.

I would prefer to use secondary coverage for birth date and/or birth location. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:57, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
