PhiPhi's redemtion is hilarious


This girl is just a nasty human being. Period. Even after being faced with how nasty she is she's not able to face herself and rethinking some of her behaviour. Instead she plays the victim and tries to fake her way in to redemption. She's been manipulative from day one, it has always been sooooo obvious what she's plotting and honestly it's really shocking that not completely obvious to everyone. The only reason she was bitching about Alysa's decision was because she was counting on the queens to vote her way, because she know she would be out in an instant if they were voting by who they like. Her only way of "redemption" is trying to act as if she doesn't want to be bitching about the girls lol. It's soooo pathetic.

She's the type that dishes it out but can't take it when it's thrown back at her. Phi hasn't changed one bit and it was like she was trying to convince herself that she had by repeating it over and over in the show. She's still a nasty manipulative person and that bad attitude is why fans didn't, and most still don't, like her. She claimed seeing herself on tv when she was so mean to Sharon and the reaction she's been getting from fans of the show changed her but it hasn't...at all.

She got eliminated and no one deserved it more. I'm GLAD she's gone.

I don't see it that way. Her first time on the show, yeah, but this time people are just taking everything she says in the worst possible way. Everyone was commenting on how big that dress they gave Ginger to wear was for the Herstory episode, but only PhiPhi's comment was seen as shady. Alyssa DID go against what they had all agreed on and that was her right, it wasn't a rule or anything, but she sat there and lied and claimed PhiPhi was lying. How does that make PhiPhi bad and not Alyssa? I actually feel bad for PhiPhi. The others were agreeing with what she was saying right before they revealed the returning queens behind the mirror, but only PhiPhi is dragged over the coals for it. I was never a big PhiPhi fan, but all the unwarranted hate aimed at her is making me sympathetic toward her and making me somewhat of a fan because it. Alaska was the one who booted Alyssa off, by the way. Where are the death threats* and hatred against her?

*not saying there were death threats against PhiPhi on here specifically, but there were on other social media.

Same old mean evil PhiPhi. The bitch hadn't changed. Glad she's out ...finally.

She really shouldn't have come back. Or should have and been sent home in the first week. Tonight when she said that stuff about Sharon throwing her under the bus? Yes, that is true. However, is she forgetting what she did to Jiggly? Or trying (with Sharon, it's true) to get Latrice to throw the duet so she could send Willam home? Or her constant arguments and moments of throwing abuse at contestants in Untucked? How could she not think the producers would use it against her.

I don't understand how she didn't see this coming. All she had to do was explain to Alyssa why she was pissed. Instead, she called Alyssa out on "playing the victim." There was no humility, no "I think the competition is getting to me." It's hard to support someone like that.

I personally loved her and Coco's bit. I loved that Phi Phi had no issue getting ugly for the role and they both were funny. But she really shot herself in the foot with this one. She's been shooting toes off each week, actually.

I found her negative,and hard looking in her last couple of skits.

I think most of us were rooting for her before the show aired, but GUUUUURL.... I suspect that she has a legitimate untreatable personality disorder. The ironic thing is that during the 4-5 years since season 4 she was doing a pretty decent job repairing her image on social media and building a loyal fanbase of people who were willing to see past the on-air dramatics and appreciate her drag artistry...but all that of accumulated goodwill has probaly gone out the window at this point.

She just isn't the the type of person who should be on a reality show. She provides too much fodder for showrunners to paint her as the villain.

Exactly! After her season, I did begin to like her because she was trying to fix her image and show that she wasn't the villain she was made out to be. I thought it was cool that she started really getting into Cosplay and becoming a Cosplay Queen. THEN she came to All Stars and it was like old Phi all over again. She was even bitter when she got sent home even thought Tati also voted for her to go but she directed all her anger towards Alyssa because of their spat earlier. She's definitely a sore loser. I even like Roxxxy now, and I couldn't stand her during her season.

You're right, she definitely shouldn't be on reality tv because I don't think she can handle it. Her true self comes out.

I dunno, it's tough with Phi Phi. I didn't like here during her season, but since her season everything I've seen her in she's been far more chill and mellow and dare I say likable that I was willing to believe she just got a bad edit. However, after this season of All Stars, I started to feel the real issue is that competition really does bring the ugly side out in her. Some people are just like that when it comes to competing they turn into total wenches but outside of that they're perfectly nice people. It could be that Phi Phi doesn't even realize it herself how competition is able to just bring the absolute worst out in her. Certainly had she known, she never would've reentered to the ring for all stars.

Like I posted in another thread, she started showing her shady side before the Snatch Game challenge by casting doubt in Roxxxy's character choice, causing her to do a last-minute change. She tried doing the same thing with Alyssa's choice of Joan Crawford, but Alyssa wasn't falling for it. From that point the snowball just rolled down the mountain.
