My thoughts exactly. :)

Both Needles and Chad have good reasons to win the crown. (*)

Phi-Phi might've improved her makeup and show a little bit of her human side, but it's hard to forget that her main personality throughout the competition was mean and sabbotage-y. To me, there's a difference between having drive and ambition AND being cutthroat and selfish.

I do wonder if Ru will be to see the distinction between those two sides or if all she 'gets' from Phi-Phi is a nostalgic vibe from when she herself was a bb!queen.

ETA: (*) Time and time again, both Needles and Chad have given originality as well as that extra "oomph" that set them apart from the rest of the girls. (Besides if my girl Latrice couldn't win, I'd rather have either of them snatch the crown from Phi-Phi.)

Either one, but Phi Phi is fine with me. I really do want to see Sharon win though. I think it would be an awesome nod to both Nina and Raven, who were both amazing queens with their own quirks and should have won!

Watched the entire season over the weekend and decided that all of the queens fit into one of the following categories:

- Annoying/"Get this b*tch off my TV"
- Uninspiring/Lackluster
- Not my cup of tea
- Took a while for me to get

I don't get people who proclaim something is worst just because it isn't one of the previous seasons and all. But this season's crop of is the worst.

I hate that we have to wait till the very end of the show to find out who won. >.<

But I have to say the reason Willam got kicked off was not as juicy as people were making it out to be.

Since willam got kicked out for bringing her husband to her hotel, it now makes sense that phi phi was a jealous c**t for saying she has no talent.

Phi Phi threw shade at everyone this season every time she did horrible. There's no way you can make excuses for that sort of harshness.

I loved Willam's response to Phi Phi's bitchiness during the entire season and I will forever remember this line:
"Indifference is worse than hatred."

William's one-liners are too underrated:

"I think emotions are for ugly people."

"It feels correct to win."

So glad jiggly and willam got there chance to check phi phi.

I agree however seeing Jiggly cry AGAIN! However I totally agree with this reaction this time. God Phi- Phi is such a bitch but needs to channel her hurt in a more productive manner.

The best part of the show was Ru and William's interaction. It was mind blowing how much more interesting William's sense of humor was than the top three's Miss America speeches. "I'm not gonna Ru-pologize for anything tonight." "Bitch, consider that word STOLEN!"

Tho I really, really like how they set it up as a pageant.

I'm just really mad that this episode is NOT on iTunes yet. So far, all the episodes have been really goddamn late. Why did I pay for this subscription again?!

Loved Willam on the reunion. Everyone else is dressed elegantly, and she comes out in a see through dress. You can see the fake boobs, it's wonderful. Also loved her coughed "Bullshit!" when Phi Phi was trying to justify herself. Then she makes a case for possible sociopathy.

I thought Willam's rule-breaking had something to do with flouting the rules about being kept under lock and key-it's hard to imagine her capable of keeping a secret!

Yay Latrice-I voted for her to get Miss Congeniality. I pretty much think things went as they should have. But...did you notice that toward the end Sharon was wobbling on her heels? Just a little. Weebles wobble but they still win!

YAY I am so happy Sharon won!!! But even though Willam was on-air for all of maybe 5 minutes, she stole every second... I think she was the only real contender to Sharon in terms of wit and sharpness. I rewound twice when she coughed bullshit and refused to repaulogize. Brilliance.

I do feel bad for Phi Phi. I think she totally got what she had coming to her, but at the same time it sucks being shown up on TV at an age where she's clearly not dealt with her issues. But I really felt for Jiggly (who I didn't much appreciate on the entire cycle, but that was a genuine moment of emotion for me.) I hope Phi Phi can learn a little from this whole experience.

So Carmen's looking more like a Kardashian every day.

What I hate about Phi Phi(and I think most people too) is how she played dirty pool yet like Willam said, was totally sociopathic and in denial about her nasty behavior. When an egomaniac like Willam thinks you're self-centered, wow. Willam's read was brilliant. Phi Phi cut Sharon off with a big loud BULLSHIT so Willam's call out is more than warranted. I'm sure all of America wanted someone to do that!

That said I'm really surprised Willam didn't plug a role on yet another TV show. I guess she was too busy with her music. CHICK FIL A SONG FTW!!!!!!!

Sharon and Chad never had to tear other people down; they focused on raising themselves up so high no one could beat them. Especially Sharon, who said she worked so hard making herself better so she wouldn't have to listen to anyone else. If Phi Phi can adopt that attitude, she could go very very far. But it all depends on her.

I mean seriously Phi Phi, Jiggly was a mess and she would have done something on her own to eliminate herself w/o Phi Phi. Though, if she did a magazine with How to Eat a Pound of Chicken as the main article, she could have stolen that goddamn cruise from Phi Phi.

Looking at Phi Phi's Phailbook page, she seems to be getting bookings even though she's America's Biggest C*nt(well, I guess that's an accomplishment compared to being America's Biggest Jock Itch.)

Charo, please come back as the Drag Race official translator. I don't care if Kenya suddenly became fluent in English, Charo's just hilarious <3 <3 <3

I really thought Willam was going to be the biggest bitch of the show judging by her opening video but she's she is NO dumb blonde corpse on the side of the road in CSI. She's extremely smart and very capable of handling nasty situations. Never would have thought that way about her from the start but she's awesome!!!


Whelp, that being said, be seeing all you dolls on LJ for the filming of Rupologize at the end of Drag Race season 5!

Jiggly is young and will learn as she gains more experience but unlike Phi Phi she is not an egomaniac and she is not under handed. Although Jiggly is not the most polished queen just yet, people like her and that will take her far in the long run. I hope Phi Phi learned her lesson in regard to it's not just all about her and although RuPauls' DragRace is a competition there needs to be a sense of community - too many people outside our community wants nothing more than to knock us down, there's no need for us to knock each other down. We have enough of haters out there. RuPaul is a smart business person and she knew that picking Phi Phi would have been a bad business move, but I doubt this is the last we hear from Phi Phi, I bet she will have a surprise guess spot next season - which would be a great business move. I believe Phi Phi will change her ways eventually, she's young and still learning, right now she has this bitch queen persona and I bet RuPaul will cash in on that next season.

Phi Phi's "it's a competition!" excuse just fell...so...flat. Tyra won because even though her behavior was teh lame, she really turned it out when it came to runway fashions and such. And she had remarkable variety in her runway styles.

Bebe? Won being the classiest. Raja? Won being the flashiest and very polished. Tyra? Won for polish, even though we all wanted Raven and Jujubee to set her on fire. Willam? Will just win at life, even if she phailed at Drag Races.

What would really make me LOL? PROFESSOR PHI PHI. I might feel a bit sorry for her students but that doesn't mean I don't wanna see it happen. <3

I think Phi Phi will be great in Drag U, if I were a student I would trust her in competing but I wouldn't trust her with her comments behind my back - I think she will go with the bitch queen thing for a bit longer before starting to slowly change her image because that's what is going to get her the money right now.

I wish Ru puts Alaska Thunderfuck on next season, though for TV I think she has to change her surname to Thunderfork lol.
