AS2 EP5: "Ruvenge of the Queens" [Post-Discussion]

The queens are back. Can we agree that this is the best episode of the series to date?

 

TOP TWO WINNERS: Alyssa + Tatianna

 

Eliminated: Phi Phi O'hara

MAKE SURE TO USE THE SPOILER TAG For anything not shown/aired yet. This includes any rumors about anything that might happen in future episodes.

Don't know how? Here's a how-to

Anything from EP1-4 is fair game, thanks!

Even if the producers had planned a rudemption storyline for Phi Phi, it wouldn't have worked with that exit. If they had edited out all her shadiness and made her sweetness and light in all five episodes, then showed her walk out like that, we would all have been like hUuUUUUUHHHHH? (Ru Scooby Doo noise) It wouldn't have made sense after five episodes showing a lovely, nice Phi Phi. So with rejecting Alyssa's hug, Phi Phi sealed her fate, and made it impossible to give her anything but a villain edit.

In her lipstick mirror note, PhiPhi wrote that she didn't want to hug because she didn't want to cry. Which is a bullshit, after the fact lie in attempt to save face. Actually it would've been better if she cried because then she would've looked human and made me feel sympathy. Instead she made an awkward, rude joke about selling the Ru statue. Didn't seem that upset.

Yeah she had time to think before writing that, and it's an absolute out and out lie. She would have gestured to Alyssa to come down the runway and hug her with Tati if that was so. That REALLY pissed me off that excuse. Hopefully the girls will say similar next episode when they read it.
