And having binged lots of the show in the past two weeks and been disappointed every time I got the vague hope that hey, maybe THIS episode will finally have the person end up remaining, for example, super-butch-but-functional-and-stylish-and-put-together-butch and having them end up, sigh, yet again, superfemme or lipstick androgynous, no, I don't feel I am.

There are many, many ways to do functional! Nonconventional styles can be functional! Having the video game nerd guy find tasteful shirts with subdued game insignia or little color-palette nods to his favorite hobbies or animes that don't scream WEEB WITH A BODY PILLOW was a total possibility... that they didn't go with at all. Functional and attractive and openly geeky styles that still look great exist! They didn't go with those. They pretty much always go for the straightforward conventional way.

The show makes a show of REVEALING TRUE SELF rhetoric, but lot of the time, it feels like the person had more character beforehand. It's not really a show about making people look like better versions of their original elves, but rather more conventionally attractive versions of themselves, if that makes sense.

tl;dr nope
