It's the season finale, and it's about time. I don't know about everyone else, but I've a pretty good time over the last few weeks just trying to make sense of the beauty queen world. But Miss Universe, Miss USA, Miss Teen USA and, of course, Tara Conner have made it unbelievably difficult.
Especially when Katie and Josh start this week's episode off with a surprise. They are moving in together and they are already hunting for apartments in New York City. And Katie just has to tell the girls in the Trump Apartment. Geez Katie, I thought you hated Rachel. Why would you be rushing to go see her right after you gave your title away? Oh, I get it, she's still camera-hungry.
Rachel doesn't have to worry about Katie's "wonderful" news, because she has some of her own. After her graceful plummet at the Miss Universe pageant, Rachel is invited to model at Fashion Week, only the most important fashion show with the world's best fashion designers. Things are starting to look up for you, Rachel. Let's just hope that they don't call up Tara to walk too.
But Katie called her up to join her and Josh along with the other beauty queen for dinner and Josh is always the least pleasant person to be around in any social setting. He's so ignorant, it's embarrassing for even me to watch. Tara finally calls him out and dinner turns into a beauty queen bitch-fest. Katie walks out taking Josh's side and the girls are all behind Tara. Go figure because the whole world, with the exception of Katie, HATES Josh.
This is Rachel's time to shine. But she's psyching herself out about what happened at Miss Universe. Yes, Rachel you fell and it was an amazing tumble, but now you are at Fashion Week, so suck it up! And she does. Congratulations, you walked straight down an even strip without falling.

After all of the drama, Katie and Tara both decide that NYC is not the right place for them to be and the 2007 queens can really begin their reign. And in the last five seconds of the show, we finally catch a clip of Mr. Trump himself. After that, I have to say that the eight daunting episodes of Pageant Place were totally worth it.

Oh my god! The entire clan is going to Las Vegas for the Video Music Awards--Rachel, Riyo, Tara, Hilary and Katie. The girls rock the red carpet, but cameras cannot get enough of former Miss USA Tara Conner. Rachel is upset and oh, so jealous. The new Miss Teen USA Hilary Cruz has something to complain about as well. It's Miss South Carolina Caitlin Upton, rocking the red carpet right along with them in a gold Sherri Hill gown. But who will get to present at the VMAs? Do I have to say it? Caitlin is just making herself sound dumber and dumber, but hey, if that's how she plans on making it in the whole wide world of entertainment and beauty pageants, they Hilary is better off making fun of her with the rest of the world.

After the craze, I can't help but want to love Tara. It obvious to her that she's getting some of Rachel's spotlight and begins to wonder if the Miss Universe Organization is the right place for her. But she still gets to ride in Mr. Trump's helicopter to the Hamptons while Riyo and Rachel have to drive and suffer under oh so much in traffic.

Next thing you know Caitlin Upton is meeting with all of Donald's people before Hilary even gets a chance. And the girls are forced to meet for lunch for whatever reason. Are they supposed to play nice, or was the meeting arranged just so show off more of Caitlin's super wit? Seriously doubt that.

Then both Hilary and Caitlin are off to an event where they will both meet Mr. Trump for the first time. Now I am starting to get a little confused? Which one is Miss Teen USA, again?

That's right, Miss Teen USA Katie Blair's reign is up. And the boyfriend drama begins, yet again. Katie HAD officially broken up with Josh last week, but with only four hours left to enjoy the pageant crown, he comes crawling back.

Then the pageant begins and Katie is more emotional than ever about giving up the crown. But the pageant goes on and all of the beauty queens cannot help but want to die when Miss South Carolina answers her interview question about U.S. Americans. Maybe it's because some people don't have maps. But Miss Colorado answers her interview question with perfect ease and the next thing you know, Miss Colorado Hilary Cruz is wearing Katie's crown. Then it's off to New York City!

Meanwhile, Josh continues to be the chauvinist pig, trashing Katie's hotel room before they beat it back to Houston. Let's just hope that is the last we see of Josh and his squealing eyebrows.

Back in the city, the world begins to welcome the new Miss Teen USA. She attends media events left and right and every PR geek around just had to know what happened with Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina, and her absolutely awful interview question. Hello, people?! Who actually won the crown? Hilary is so pissed about Caitlin's popularity, that she even talks about giving up the crown. Hilary, just be happy that she didn't get the crown for being so oblivious.

Katie's getting ready to go. Her reign is up and it's time to move on. She's packing her things and for the first time this season, Katie finally begins to see the horrible side of Josh that we have been watching all season. Josh, you need to worry about your own armpits.

Then Tara turns into the Big Apple Tour Guide, canceling all of the queen's publicity events for the day for a fabulous day in the city. And Josh complains the entire time-"That building looks like sh**. This pizza looks like sh**." Josh, please get over yourself, and fast because after Miss Teen USA dumps you, you are going to be the one feeling like sh**.

And after Josh leaves, Tara and the girls really try to make Katie's last day as Miss Teen USA the most memorable. They take Katie to see a psychic to help her with all of her unanswered questions about her next chapter of her life as a former Miss Teen USA.

But all good things much come to an end and Katie has to leave to crown a new Miss Teen USA. After some final tears and goodbyes, Katie heads to Pasadena, Calif. to the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant. She makes the best effort to be a real role model to the 51 teens and, along the way, finds out how controlling Josh really is. And then she finally calls it off. That's right, now the real Katie Blair is calling the shots.

Let's just play nice! All of the girls-Katie, Tara and Rachel-are sucking up to each other, even though there is some serious tension concerning Katie's "teeny bopper" habits. The girls head down to the Gay Men's Health Center where they are put to work. Of course, Katie has never worked a day in her life and Rachel has had "every job under the sun." I'm sorry Rachel, but I don't think anyone cares that Miss USA has ever gotten her hands dirty.

While all of the drama is going down, everyone tends to forget that by next month, Miss Teen USA is no longer going to be Miss Teen USA. What has Katie Blair got in store for herself after she gives up her crown? At lunch, she keep Rachel and Riyo in the dark about her future plans. Is she going to be a singer, actor or just plain freeloader? And with only two weeks left, she is still burping like a giant man in public. Good luck, Katie.

While Katie complains to her oh-so-wonderful boyfriend Josh about all the pressure to grow up, Rachel and Tara have a bonding moment where they both decide to confront Katie about their issues with her. Rachel needs to be straight-forward- let Katie know that she needs to step up and really start acting like the adult she claims to be. Tara, on the other hand, has a more serious issue to bring up with Katie- that fact that she turned her into the media for abusing cocaine.

And Tara is straight up about it, with tears and everything. Despite the fact that she was forced into rehab, lost her best friend and became known as the Miss USA coke-head, she still wants to try and be friends.

Don't forget little Riyo. Yes, she is still around as the breath of fresh air around the Trump Apartment. This time she is perfecting her English-speaking skills and today's lesson is idioms. Riyo, you are one good egg.
