Phi Phi is a super impressive belcher. I bet she could belch the national anthem. That would've been a far better tactic for tonight.

Dan Savage's advice to change "everyone needs a piece of Latrice" to "everyone needs peace with Latrice" was terrible advice. Actually, all of his advice was terrible advice.

Pit crew as secret service: amazing.

Chad's performance was utterly absurd and wonderful and I loved it. She has become my favorite PERSON on this season, and one of my favorite performers too.

Latrice had the best read of the season for Phi Phi: "I realized she was ugly, and I made peace with that."

Dida's debate performance though? Oh, honey. You should not have been kept on the show this long. I am sorry.

Ru handled people going over their time limit better than any debate moderator in recent history.

I loved Latrice's voiceover during the lipsync: you gotta know where the music is coming from. She knew it, and that's why she's still here! YAY LATRICE!! (Anyway, even if she hadn't been the better lipsync performer, it's likely Dida would've been sent home anyway. It was her time.)

Latrice Royale for actual president, barely even joking

Dan Savage was a dud. I don't know why, but this episode wouldn't have been any worse if he was not in it.

PhiPhi did that PhiPhi thing where she trashes another contestants while she is doing worse. It's my least favorite PhiPhi behavior. She can't criticize anyone after that terrible attempt at doing Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin. Dida was bad, but PhiPhi was worse because she tried to steal the show and bombed every time.

Sharon was perfect, I loved Chad's runway way more than her performance, and Latrice should not have been lip synching. Should have been PhiPhi instead. But the producers were probably already set on a PhiPhi vs Sharon finale and didn't want to risk that. Maybe Latrice was a ringer to send Dida home.
