I have to say that, while I liked Trixie at first, I found her insufferable when she returned. She seemed a little too full of herself for a "4th out" girl. I wasn't sorry to see her leave. I think one-on-one she's probably funny. And I think she's got a smart humor that some of the other queens don't have. But I don't think it ever really translated. The only times that she ever really made me laugh was when she was the drunk stewardess on Glamazonian Airways and when she did the 'ugly pagent sister' with Pearl. Everything else she did kind of fell flat for me.
Katya, on the other hand, is a real loss. She was so funny and smart but she just lacked self-confidence. I imagine that, in real life, she'd be annoying to hang out with, but on the show? She was awesome and gave great talking head interviews. I really hope that she wins Miss Congeniality.
I still think it's Ginger's season to win, but I can easily see Violet pulling out a surprise win given her redemption edit and strong late-game performances. She can be annoying as ****, but her looks are on point. She just can't act for ****.
Kennedy and Pearl are battling for 3rd and 4th place, as I see it. One of them goes out the next episode and the other one is the irrelevant gal in the finale.
My hubby and I just bought tickets to the live finale, which is being held in NYC this year. They were only $40 each, but they are standing room only, so I suspect it's going to be chaos. We might just stay home and watch it on tv (we're too old for that **** now.....
)
