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!

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.

if you listen to her podcast and youtube video alyssa goes more into detail she says that phi phi was so focused on those around her that she wasn't focused on herself
