Saaphyri!?

Charm School ended and while all fingers were pointing to Layleen as the winner, Saaphyri took the $50,000. It did seem somewhat unfair when Saaphyri came out with her homelessness during her final speech. I guess in the end everyone just felt kinda bad, because she was, you know, homeless, so they gave her the money.

Because Layleen is the PERFECT Charm School student, she did not cry. But things had been looking bad for Layleen when she was drinking before the quiz during her short time to study. So what happens? Everyone hates Shay so much they just team up to eliminate her. Saaphyri defends her plan to set up Shay by concluding "plus, I just don't like her ass."

Then came the speech round where Layleen strung some words together that didn't make any sense, but presented them in a pleasing sort of high-class-stripper way.

Becky took the weird approach of giving Saaphyri half her money (this was the topic of her speech.) I guess its a good plan if Becky just wanted Saaphyri to win. And just when you are thinking about what trick Saaphyri and Becky have up their sleeves, Saaphari cries and says she is homeless. How did Saaphyri own those expensive boots if she was homeless?

I think they let her win because Mo'Nique thought her real name (actually Saaphryi) was the name Flav gave her and asked her what her real name was. It feels like the scene in "Pretty in Pink" where Blane assumes Andy will want to go home and change her clothes but, oh no, she had already changed, and it's really akward.

During the scene (complete with sparkly background and cheesy music) that chronicles Saaphryi's accomplishments there is a clip of her yelling at another girl saying "Better not Interrupt me during my Paryers before God direct me to beat you up."

Something about the ending scene with Saaphyri dressed fully in white kneeling at Mo'Nique's feet is unsettling.
