@Spearced2 жыл бұрын
@@jmz1736 two years late, but if you (and anyone else) are still wondering, her saying she's 'on the turn' is in reference to the fact that Sandi's lesbian, but that she was so taken by Trevor's singing she might have been starting to question whether she could be attracted to men or not. It's just a nice joke that Trevor was so hot in that moment he could have turned her straight.
