Her little "I didn't win?" at the end of the debate was pure Willam and her snakey arms was just like Sharon a few weeks back

You're right!! I think she could be OK if she relaxed a bit. I didn't think her racist character jokes were too bad (I mean, it was clearly *acting*) but her execution was so twitchy and trying-too-hard- that none of it seemed satirical, just weird.

Isn't Chad the best? Everything Sharon said to her during untucked about how her character is too lovely to be evident on a runway is so true.

On Dida -- I can't forget her amazing, epic lipsync against the Princess. I'm not going to argue that Latrice should have lost this one (she clearly brought it). But Latrice did take off her heels for the LSFYL! And I suspect Dida did better than the editing choices showed.

I feel like if Dida came back in a couple of years she could win. She's a lot like Ru. But (as evident in the magazine challenge) she took some things a bit too literally and didn't let herself do as well as she could have.

I agree with you on everything apart from Dida being a lot like Ru - I think Dida comes across as an all-round lovely person (and she has great energy onstage - I adored her lipsynch against the Princess!) but I don't know if she wants to be more varied than the nice girl persona. Ru's so successful because he's so insanely smart and canny in addition to everything else, right? He's such a chamaeleon.

I feel a little sorry for Phi Phi, actually. Talk about cognitive dissonance. We've seen some moments where she is capable of kindness... but then she seems so mean-spirited in general. It just feels like some of the other queens have had way harder times than her and they still manage to be so much more upbeat, positive and generous. It's so frustrating.
