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.
