If you clicked on this story then you obviously want to know who wins Season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. But to prevent our inbox from flooding with hate mail—well, more hate mail—we’re warning you: Do not read further if you want to wait for the season finale.
According to the RuPaul Drag Race Season 4 Wikipedia page, Phi Phi O’Hara is going to snatch the crown from Sharon Needles and Chad Michaels. The information has since been removed from the page and, though it confirms rumors we’ve been hearing since before the season debuted, we really hope its not true. Sure, Phi Phi is pretty and can bounce around the stage like a firecracker. She’s got nerve and talent, but she’s not creative charismatic or unique. And you can’t spell CUNT without those things.
We’re still chanting that Mother Dust, a.k.a. Chad Michaels, is chosen as the winner. For once, it’d be nice to see a nice girl finish first.

My friend talked to Phi Phi at Spin a couple of weeks ago and she was apparently was bad mouthing RuPaul, not sure if she was just acting or was genuinely pissed but I hope she does not win. I’m a Sharon Needles fan
Darling Nikki
If this is true, then that’s the end for me. I gave them a chance last year after
the travesty that was the second season with Tyra-nny winning. Raja was awesome
and deserved it. Milan winning would’ve been just as pleasing.
Sharon Needles is far and away the best one they had on this SEASON!
Phi Phi is Tyra and Ru likes her some pageant ball queens.
Controversy is one thing but denying the obvious, well, you lose
viewers, sashay away.
Especially since LOGO is going to be the “Lifetime” version of MTV.
Mark
I wouldn’t lose sleep over it but Sharon Needles has won more challenges than any other and PhiPhi is boring. RuPaul I thought had a tour to plan around these people. PhiPhi?!

This story shows a profound lack of understanding of how Wikipedia works. Here’s what happened — someone without a Wikipedia account made a change to the page. We know that person’s IP number and nothing — NOTHING — else. Frankly, I could go in and insert something right now that says *I* won, and it would have just as much validity. If you’re going to take Wikipedia’s word for something, try to make it information that is backed up by a citation. Wikipedia is possibly the best source of information in the world, but since it CAN be edited by anyone at any time to say anything, especially wishful thinking, it is prone to these little blips of misinformation.

Watching the show last night, my thought was “Phi Phi will win”. She’s the least likable of the three, and the least interesting. I was very sad to see Latrice go, since I was rooting for her, but out of the three I’d vote for Chad Michaels. Sharon Needles is good, but I’m not too into the Tim Burton drag shtick.
reandee
Don’t take that Wiki info too seriously. During the show last night it said Sharon Needles won, with Phi Phi as runner up. So people are having fun with it. Soon it’ll say Chad M won!
DenverBarbie
Well, at least I can look forward to seeing my first nightclub riot next week. I can’t stand Phi Phi, but that’ll be delicious!
brit
Phi Phi is only there to keep people interested in the show. NO ONE wants her to win.
TwinCities
I looked at that page on Monday, before the show aired and it had Latrice as the eliminated queen, and Sharon as the winner, with Chad low and Phi Phi high. Not sure how they got it or why it was posted before the show aired.
AtTwinCities
The reason why that people got that correct was because the episode leaked a few days back before the episode aired.
Frederick
If that unethical, nasty, vitriolic, conniving, whiny, untalented, unoriginal, vicious, jealous bitch Phi Phi wins season four, I will never watch Drag Race again…
haroldhughes
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Needles, only Needles! At least, for the first time, the winner won’t be complected like Ru. They are trying to get rid of the racism claims. And Latrice stayed in till the very end. Fabulous, yes, but way too old school. (I personally like her, but next superstar? nah.)
Kevzin
Last year at the NewNowNext awards Raja was not there but the rest of the cast was and last night the the only one not there was Phi Phi so you can infer that he won
Stephen
@haroldhughes Yeah, I picked up on that, too…The white girls never win RPDR.
SebX
I’d be sooooo pissed off if PhiPhi won. She doesn’t have the carisma nor uniqueness to be worthy of being America’s next drag superstar. She’s annoying, talentless, shady, aggressive and sleazy. I don’t find any reedeming quality in her besides being the shitstirrer of the season. I found different things to like about almost every queen that has ever reached the top four, even five, of the competition.
Fucking hell, Willam could have been very annoying but she was waaaay funnier than this uberc*nt.
Vaniti
@Kevzin: I considered that as well, but the truth is that Phi Phi was at the ceremony along side Chad Michaels and Sharron Needles. check out the pic from her twitter.

Vaniti
It would be a complete outrage at this point if Chad Michaels did not win the race. I will say that Phi Phi just might have a possibility at winning runner-up. I’m cheering for Team Sharron Needles to take that spot but with all the shit Phi Phi talks it will be close one.
sheena
everyone can put info in wikipedia…..everyone knows its sharon
What?
The c is for charisma
Mark
“It would be a complete outrage at this point if Chad Michaels did not win the race”
-Chad has won one major challenge to Sharon’s 4 or 5. They’d have to be insane not to choose her. Me, I’d bet Sharon-Chad-PhiPhi for win, place, and show. You know, Willam’s being booted off the show never leaked and I have a feeling articles like this are just a red herring.
3ravens
@Frederick: @Frederick: I agree totally with you Frederick….If Phi Phi Phoney wins, I will NEVER watch RP drag race again! PERIOD!
Jillian
@Mark what are you talking about? Phi Phi was there last night…
Mark
Just watched the previews of next week’s show and it’s just a clips show. Dammit.
Pixie
@Kevzin: PhiPhi was at NNN. http://www.newnownext.com/newnownext-awards-rupaul-drag-race-gallery/04/2012/#flipbook_slider_ajax_flipbook_free_type_85=1068
sheena
@Mark: chad one two….one with madame lacqueer then one on snatch game….phi phi 2 sharon 4 so i dont think its a question about phi phi winning….question is which is goin to be a runner up….phi phi or chad
sheena
@sheena: i mean chad won two
Aedan
I’m not concerned with Phi Phi winning the competition. HOWEVER- I am concerned he will somehow place second (he did NOT deserve to be top three so anything is possible it seems). At this point, though, if he doesn’t get knocked out first I will seriously consider not bothering with future seasons. His presence on this show lasting far longer than it should have has already tested my ability to watch it. To outpace Sharon OR Chad at this point would be the final insult.
Brian
To be fair Phi Phi has improved dramatically over the season but I would not want her to win just because she only got better at what she does best.
Has she even tried to do anything other than dumb and pretty?
Not to mention her “charming” personalities…
jj
Sharon all the way baby! shes unique and werks it better than chad and phi phi. Ill be disappointed if sharon loses, but if phi phi wins i am done with drag race for good.
ChknBisct
I love how everyone is outraged and saying they’ll never watch it again. I’m sure you’ll be the very ones to tune in next season.
Jonathonz
I hope Sharon and Chad won’t have terrible memories of their awesome opportunity of being on RPDR because of Phi Phi’s vomitous behavior. They’ve had to put up with her for far too long and they both seem like such nice people.
newportxwhore
# team sharron , but chad is marvelous . I could care less for phiphi
Houston Bill
I vote for either Sharon or Chad.
Rebecca
She was there. Phi Phi was a dancer in the Neon Hitch performance.
john
If Phi Phi wins Im never watching Drag race again, or Drag U or anything connected to this franchise. I also know Im not alone
Houston Bill
Actually, if RPDR decides to crown Phi Phi, I’ll probably bail on them too. Why bother watching the show if people like Tyra and Phi Phi are champions. At least Tyra had some fashion sense. I can throw on a bunch of random makeup and dress up in a black hefty bag with a homemade glitter belt and sweatband too. Doesn’t make me qualified to be a drag champion.
Seriously, if they’re going to ignore the obvious, why invest Monday nights in the program?
Debra
@Frederick:
yep..me too. I love RuPaul’s Drag Race, I really do. But Phi Phi winning will just be wrong
Debra
@ChknBisct:
to ChknBisct: You’re right (sheepishly I say) I will watch it again. But I don’t know if I would be so ‘devoted’ to, switch to another channel or if I’m tired, go to bed..or not dash home to catch it. Sometimes the bloom goes off the rose if things seem glaringly wrong. I’m rooting for Chad or Sharon, would be okay if either (or both!) win, but Phi Phi winning, that’d be “really? well that was a poor return on my investment (of time, and emotional energies and all that)
TedSmitts
I want Sharon to win, but I’d be OK with Chad winning. If PhiPhi wins, it’s proof that Ru is back on the uppers, downers, and candy corns.
Alexis du Champignon
Here’s the problem with Sharon winning – and I’m definitely Team Sharon – the Absolut vodka judge does not like Sharon, AND as THE major sponsor of RPDR as well as the tour, Absolut may not want their name behind sponsoring a show with a drag queen with a play on the idea of “sharing needles”. Sharon was already read be another judge on the acting episode that “I hate your name”, so its something to consider seriously.
Phi-Phi has all the appeal of a steaming pile of dog shit with a green fly hovering over it. Sistah is one negative bitch, and if RuPaul puts her name and show behind this horrible little gurl, then I agree with most everyone else, RPDR will have some serious problems with its fan base. It doesn’t help that Phi-Phi is cut from the same nasty cloth as Tyra. Fans remember.
This to me means that Chad will win RPDR. She has been the most consistent, only had to lip sync for her life once, she has the most polish and SEEMS to be a genuinely nice person. I call it for Chad, and even though I’m Team Sharon, Chad would be a good choice to win as well.
Ima Cornholer
I did not watch this season. I had enough with the first 3 seasons. Can any of us name the past three winners. Can anyone remember the last 3 winners being headliners for any major gay fundraiser. Ru Paul chooses the winner so they say. Remember sponsors also pay the salaries for the RPDR show. That being said. May there not be a season 5 of RPDR! LOGO get a real show on to deal with the bullied youth in America. Can you step up on this one Miss Ru-Paul.
Anon
@Darling Nikki: Absolutely. I hope Sharon Needles wins. Pageant queens will have plenty of chances for this, we won’t find another Sharon. But even if Phi Phi wins she’d be much better than Tyra. Tyra is not appropriate for the crown, she’s not even involved in the scene and she doesn’t use her voice, she doesn’t do as many shows, drag superstar needs to have a voice and use it, being involved…
Alex
I cannot fathom Phi-Phi winning this season. It simply is -not- possible. Rupaul won’t screw up -again- like she did in season 2 with Tyra.
If Phi-Phi wins. That’ll be the nail in Rupaul’s Drag Race’s coffin.
WillyJswagg1
Phi phi was at the nnn awards look it up on you tube and personally I think Sharon should win however they always let the bad queen win like another person said on here it’s sad but true, and it makes since everybody lives Sharon and chad thousands of people would go to there shows with the win or without phi phi will get more people following her if she actually one the show, it would be her only equal oppurtunity against them long after the competition is over … But like I said in a NEEDLES FAN she deserves it and has won the most challenges… GOOD LUCK TO THE WEIRD O FIERCE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN, she represents a new modern generation and is a great role model for the outcasts of the world
Will
I’ve seen a few Wikipedia pages over the past month or so that provided information on who was going to win and who was returning on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Each posting turned out to be correct. The page I saw that listed the winner of this season named Chad Michaels.
Personally, I like Chad and will be happy if he wins. I would, however, love to see Sharon take the crown as she is quite fierce and deserving of the honor. If Phi Phi wins this season, I’m done watching the show as her character has irritated me to no end!! Go Chad or Sharon. Save us from that bitch, Phi Phi.
John
I’m like a lot of people who have posted…if PhiPhi O’Hara wins I’m done with this show…she’s like a bad rash that just won’t go away. PhiPhi inspires nothing but hatred from most viewers of the show. She’s typical of most no-talent people who are jealous and shady…She attacks anyone who is more talented that she is and exhibits her nasty personality at every opportunity. PhiPhi is also boring…a dime-a-dozen queen that you might see in any lame drag show…not original, not creative, and not talented. I think RuPaul has kept her on this long because she creates so much drama by fighting with Sharon and generating bitchy drama.
Does the Noise in my head bother you?
@Kevzin: phi phi was at NNN as a back up dancer with Chad, Dita, and Latrice. There blows that theory. At a nigtclub inPA sharon says she’ll be on an episode of drag u – that tells me she doesnt win and that makes me mad. If she doesnt win – moter dust better!
Does the Noise in my head bother you?
If Sharon doesnt win, it is because the ABSOLUT dude hates her. You wanna boycot? Stop drinking their VODKA!!!!
Mindell
By rights Sharon Needles is the outright winner, but people should stop being naive – it is about sponsorship.
Sharon may be great on the show and with fans , but she has to appeal to sponsors who have the money and bankroll the show.
To say Rupaul should ignore sponsors is like saying you purposely get your self fired from work when you dont like your boss or organisation.
Ru has declared Sharon the winner four times and obviously likes Sharon but if those financing the show do not like her – she won’t win.
I think it Sharon will win anyway as Rupaul would not set herself up this way and be this obvious about sponsors picking the win.
I am sure Sharon wins, from what she has not said.
d
Considering that the wiki page has been updated with various combinations of the top 3 for the last 3 of 4 weeks, I don’t put a lot of stock in what they have or have not spoiled.
For example, the day Latrice left, wiki was showing Chad 1st, Sharon 2nd and Phi Phi 3rd – it was on the main RPDR page not the season 4 page. A friend also claims to have seen a Sharon – Chad – Phi Phi order on Wiki, complete with farewell messages.
Still operating on the assumption that you picked up a Phi Phi Phan trying to stir up controversy or exercising wishful thinking.
Based on who gets the most – and the most important – screen time in the Glamazon clip, I have a theory on the winner – and it’s not Phi Phi.
BOBBIE
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,
she ratchet!!!!! -.- if PHI PHI WINS THIS WILL B MY LAST TIME WATCHING RUPUALS DRAG RACE!!
LAST SEASON I OVED THE WINNER I WAS ROUTING FOR RAVEN THE WHOLE SEASON, BUT SINCE DAY 1 I HATED PHI PHI!!! I DONT KNOW HER ON A PERSONAL LEVEL BUT I JUDGE WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE NOT IF YOUR “PRETTIER”(NOT LIKELY CUZ IM A REALLY GIRL)NOT BEGIN MEAN BUT LET SOME WIN WHO ACTUALLY DESIRESS IT….. NO MO PHI PHI UP ON THIS PIECE!!!!!
Mariska
I love Sharon Needles, but people need to remember that RuPaul’s Drag Race has sponsors. During the episode the team-leader of there sponsor Absolut Vodka, said he didn’t like Sharon. I’m pretty sure Ru will consider his opinion, since he is basicly paying for parts of the show.
Phi Phi is great, her attitute sucks yes, but overall during the show she did pretty good. Chad is good either. I’ve always been Team Sharon and Team Latrice, loved her personally, she was by far the best big girl ever to be on Drag Race and deserved to have a final three spot without a doubt.
Meh, I don’t know. Someone told me before the show aired that Chad, Sharon en Phi Phi would be the final three, someone would be disqualified and there would be a no-elimination week with Sharon and Phi Phi at the bottom. He also said Chad would win, since he had so many predictions right, I value his opinion and will stick to the fact that Chad will win.
tyson
@Tom: Phi PHI doesnt WIN .. thank god … and i know that for fact
reese
lmfao!!! fuk yall bitches!! lol i love phi phi!!! to be honest though before i get wicked hate mail, i this was my dream top 3 for this season so i really won’t be mad at all with the winner. but i LOVE phi phi and sharon!! they’re my faves!!
hotshot70
Phi Phi is racist and should not win. Sharon is my choice, but I would not be upset if Chad won. I have noticed some patterns repeated. Last 2 seasons, the first to go was the one that wore a “ponytail” on runway, they had a show where someone was brought back (only to leave immediately), there was a show where neither of the queens who “lip-syched for their life” left. Another thing, I thought first season winner should have been Nina Flowers, because Bebe looked like a babboon in glitter. Tyra used a sob story to get to Ru (raising his child alone). Phi Phi did use a sob story (on the DILF episode), but I hope that has no effect. But if she does win, from what I’ve seen posted here, the audience for next season will be VERY low. Only thing worse is that horrid Eden show, which attracts pedophiles. SHARON OR CHAD, OR NO ONE’S GLAD!!! and FYI, Phi Phi, your name is wrong. “phi” is the greek letter and is pronounce fi (rhymes with pie) He name should be Snaggletooth Racist!
Ryan Thompson
Turns out the “leak” is bullshit. I backtracked into the history file of the season 4 article on wikipedia and the person who MADE those fucking edits never cited anything whatsoever. If Phi Phi wins, Ru will never hear the end of it, because Phi Phi is an asshole. And that’s all there is to it.
Ryan
In my perspective, I believe Chad will win. Chad has brought something different to the table every week. Chad is not a bitchy-type person and has a lot of talent with her Cher impersonations. Think about it people, Sharon and Phi Phi are enemies. So why would Ru choose one over the other? Ru is smart enough to choose a drag queen who is real and will tell it like it is, and Chad has done just that. Phi Phi goes home in 3rd place, then Sharon will be runner up and Chad will win. Chad is the oldest, like season 3 and yes she is white, but season 4 is different.
