So there you have it. Sasha to me is a queen that I knew in my heart was gonna win. Shea did amazing and I am always gonna love her. But Sasha was a true showstopper to me.
So thanks for reading if you did! Comment if you want tagged, and give me seasons to cover!!
Yeah, overall this season was kinda not that rigged. Jaymes I would like to see more of but I've heard rumors she's on AS8 and she has definitely won the race after the show. Kimora/Farrah going earlier isn't something I completely hate either... they are lovely queens but they didn't have a ton to offer. I quite liked some of Farrah's looks though. And she was alright in 9021-ho. No notes from me except keep the matchups the same!!! Love my strategic queens Trinity and Pep
