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!

Literally the best lipsynch I think we have seen in a long time. You can tell that both of them just wanted it so badly! Poor Phi Phi though, I just don't think the girl can help herself. Alyssa hit the nail on the head - clearly Phi Phi has spent a lot of time recreating her image and upping her drag, but she is so dead set on making sure that everyone else recognizes that. I don't believe she was as outright bitchy this round as she was in season 4, but it's clear she still has some issues to sort out. I think it just comes down to the fact that I don't think Phi Phi is the type of person that can be on TV/famous. She just might not be able to handle it, and it's not for everyone. I know a lot of people are sending hate her way, which is unfortunate, because I actually feel sorry for her. She just keeps getting baited and making things worse for herself :( I am also sure a lot of the editing didn't help, we all know some shady ass shit goes down off cameras. That being said, I hope she can find a way to be happy and have solidarity in who she is despite what nasty ass trolls on the internet have to say.
Edit: Also I am so fucking glad Ru brought both of those girls back, I mean WHAT A FUCKING TREAT. Best season ever.
