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.

Does anyone have a streaming link? I'm dying to watch it live!

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.

And all is right with the world!! Yay Sharon!!

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.

When the Pit Crew was "dragging" Willam onto the stage... hello, package alert.

Yay!! very happy with the outcome!!

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.
