Of course Tiniecia was disappointed that she wasn't picked to be Paris' BFF (see tonight's finale), but that doesn't mean she's bitter. At all! In fact, we reached out to Tiniecia to find out her feelings on Stephen winning the contest, and she couldn't be happier for him. Check out her update below...

First of all, I would like to thank Paris for having me on her show. It was a wonderful opportunity, and I had a BLAST!!!!! I got to know Paris on a personal level and actually see her for the loving and caring icon she is. The best part of being on the show was that I was blessed to meet some amazing people who I will always keep in my circle.

Watching the show opened my eyes to how straightforward I am as a person. I loved how I acted and wouldn’t change or take back anything. It's why I'm the strong and successful woman I am today. Some viewers considered me GHETTO. If they only knew ... I am far from ghetto. That is just their lack of knowledge about me. I am a ‘country girl,’ and if speaking with a Southern twang makes me ghetto, then those viewers have a lot to learn. I am a Well-Educated, Gorgeous, Classy, Original and Tenacious individual. I am a wonderful person once you get to know me. Like I've always said, "You're either going to love me then hate me or hate me then love me."

I’m happy with Paris’ decision to choose Stephen (my baby) as her new BFF. Stephen and I always said when we were in the top three that as long as it was out of the two of us, we were okay. Stephen and I are both loving and caring people who will always have Paris’ best interest at heart. So choosing Stephen was great for her. Honestly, every female should have a gay friend, because gay friends are so much fun. You can have girl talk about other guys, shop together and do each other’s make-up ... and most of all, you always have someone to tell you if your man is on the down low. (LOL) I love Stephen and I always will.

Although I didn’t win the title of 'Paris Hilton’s New BFF,' she and I are still close friends. Like Paris said, I’m a leader and a strong confident woman that isn’t scared of a challenge. So thank you, Paris, for seeing me as the positive woman that I am. Now let me share some words about the special people that I met...

Could it be? Did Paris really send Stephen packing on tonight's BFF? Nooooooo!!! Say it ain't so! Unfortch, we can't do that ... and neither can Stephen. But, he CAN tell you how much he loves and respects Paris and why he will forever remain friends with the rest of the gals. Check out his note below!

Being selected for Paris Hilton's My New BFF was a once in a lifetime dream come true. When I went in for an audition months ago, I NEVER in a million years would have thought things would turn out this way. I am so blessed to have made it as far as I did and to have formed a REAL friendship with Paris.

Despite what anyone has to say about her, Paris is the sweetest person ever and truly an ICON of our time. Paris has great friends, an amazing family, fame and fortune, and yet she is the most humble, down-to-earth person I have ever met. People try to argue that it's fake ... IT's NOT! Paris puts EVERYONE else ahead of her. I was lucky enough to share my 24th birthday with her and the BFFs while filming the show, and Paris went out of her way to make sure I had the best day ever. Plus, after meeting my family, she sent me home with a box of perfumes and purses for my sisters and Mom. THAT is a thoughtful, generous person right there.

I know a lot of people were rooting for me, and that touches my heart. I appreciate the love and support more than you know. Every five minutes I'd be grabbing one of my parents, siblings or friends and reading them your sweet comments. They did not go unnoticed, I promise!

It was so sad to leave, but I will always respect Paris' decisions. I went into this show as myself to see if I was what she was looking for in a best friend. I figured that if not, it was okay because I truly wanted HER to find the PERFECT BFF. It's not about the contestants getting what they want. It's about Paris ... and I always understood that.

She may not have left the mansion tonight as Paris Hilton's 'New BFF,' but Desirae definitely made some friends for life! Plus, she went home with a few invaluable fashion pointers. Tip No. 1: Price tags should always be kept private...

I’m not offended that Paris eliminated me. I actually woke up that morning and knew I was going home -- my heart just wasn’t in it anymore. I was sick, throwing up and sleeping the whole day. Plus, I gained 10lbs because I wasn't eating healthy meals. Worst of all, I was getting annoyed with myself and my roommates, which isn’t in my nature.

As for my fashion faux pas, we've all made mistakes when it comes to clothes haha. I guess I just figured Paris was going with the whole "doll" theme that day. And let me just take a second to clear up what happened in Episode 3, when I thought it was OK to mention the price of my dress.

In 2001, Paris herself wore a dress with POKER CHIPS on it and then mentioned on the red carpet that the chips added up to one million dollars! Now, I put Paris in the same category as Rihanna and Megan Fox -- they wear what they want and do what they want -- therefore, I didn't consider it tacky to bring up the cost of my dress because she had done the same thing! But silly me, this isn’t 2001 anymore. Paris has grown up a lot since her early 20s.

As for the other contestants ... I came into this crazy escapade with a very open mind. I wasn't so much trying to find a BFF but rather offer my BFFness to Paris. At the start, I didn’t care to meet anyone else, but that changed VERY quickly.

We're halfway through Paris Hilton's grueling search for a new slave sidekick, but the heiress sure isn't making the game any easier for its remaining contestants. On tonight's episode, another two wannabes bit the dust -- hard, and to their own dismay. R.I.P. Nicole and Kaitlin! (And lovely Farrah Fawcett, as long as we're on the subject.)

Below, check out Kaitlin's update on life after taping the emotional roller-coaster ride known to y'all as Paris Hilton's My New BFF...

Well, my time was cut short, but what a wonderful/stressful/ exhausting/once-in-a-lifetime experience it was!

I think people have this idea of reality TV like it's all fun, games and parties. Although that's a big part of it, it's also very tedious and stressful.

At one point in the show, Stephen called me "a mess" -- and honestly, I was. It's hard to be enthusiastic and in the right state of mind when you're not sleeping enough, not eating well and can't talk to your friends or family from back home. Plus, taking heat from other cast members doesn't help. You should always take this into consideration when watching reality shows!

The best times I had during this entire experience were when the cameras were off! One of my favorite memories is making everyone breakfast (every day!), no matter what happened the night before. (I always wanted to make sure everyone got a hearty meal before we started the day.) They never show that!

As for my casting footage, I could blog all day about how it was edited, what they did to it to make it look and sound the way it did. But shame on me for my foolishness in that tape and giving producers/editors even more material to work with.

You barely ever get on reality TV for being some perfect, God-loving creature. I knew I would have to be controversial to get on the show. And hey, I guess it worked. I would still like to apologize to anyone who my words offended. It wasn't the way I wanted to go out, but it is what it is. I still don't agree with how and why I was eliminated.

Now that Paris has weeded out the husband-stealers and vomit-inducing lap dancers, it's time to see what the rest of the girls (and, um, Stephen) are made of! Next week, the drama continues when the World's Biggest Cupcake quickly leads to the World's Biggest Cupcake Fight -- and a one-on-one grudge match between lippy ladies Katie and Desirae. Fortch, Paris has the perfect way to get everyone cleaned off: makeover mania!! But BFFs beware: looks aren't everything. And for one of these "airheads," it's TTYN...

The wannabe besties endured yet another double elimination on tonight's Paris Hilton's My New BFF. Man, P's cleaning house quickly! Guess the girl just knows exactly what she's looking for this time around. And unfortch for Monica, it wasn't her. Below, check out another ex-BFF's reaction to getting the boot so early on in the game.

I wasn’t shocked at getting eliminated -- in fact, I kind of seen it coming. I think that Paris is looking for someone who isn't reminiscent of her wild and crazy party days. She has Doug now and is trying to clean up her image. I’m a college graduate; I work hard, take care of my family ... but I also play hard! I do not regret anything I did on the show -- who cares about a silly lap dance and popping a bottle of champagne? Big DEAL! My dress was short, how scandalous!! At least I was wearing underwear…I was disappointed with Paris for passing judgment because she herself doesn’t have the cleanest track record. She acted like what I did was more risqué than anything she's ever done. She should know what it feels like when people pass judgment on you for stupid things that hold no bearing on who you are as a person. I thought she was cooler than that, but I guess it’s all about her and her image.

Otherwise, Paris is really chill and much smarter than how she's portrayed. Hanging out with her on the ice cream date showed me her humble side because she was nice enough to take pictures with fans. Plus, Paris has made a brand of herself and that is something to really admire.

Despite being thrown off tonight's episode of Paris Hilton's My New BFF, Arika swears there's no hard feelings. She does, however, want to clear her name...

If you watched Episode 2 of Paris Hilton's My New BFF, you know that I was sent home for having a bit too much fun at Paris' friend’s bachelor party. That really bummed me out! Still, nothing (especially a guy) should ever come between a girl’s friendship with her BFF.

Even though the show made it seem like I'm "that" girl, I really am not. I felt completely set up because, as you saw, the guy grabbed my head! Everyone was cheering us on, so I got super stressed out and just went with it! Ugh. Sometimes partying a little too hard can lead to not-so-good choices. I wish I could go back in time and undo it, and have things turn out differently.

Anyway, it was a spectacular experience! Not many people can say they got to know Paris Hilton, and on top of that, I loved meeting all of the other amazing individuals in the house ... I walked away with tons of awesome new friends!

To me, Paris is still fabulous, admirable and a true role model. She's definitely someone I still look up to, even though she "TTYN"ed me. I've run into Paris before at some of the hottest Hollywood parties, so hopefully the next time I see her she'll say "TTYS" instead!

xoxo Arika

OMG, you guys! It's seriously only been five minutes (okay, fine two episodes) and the claws have already come out big-time! So whose are the sharpest? Well, tonight everyone got in a few good "oh-NO-you-didn't-girl!" one-liners. Peep the best of the worst below, then tell us which wannabe's like Regina George (complete with army of skanks!), except for waaaaay meaner ... and stuff.

KATIE: "Monica looked like she was beating the crap out of that guy with her vagina."
TINIECIA: "You need to quit crying, cuz it's not workin' for me."
PARIS: "O-M-G, Monica. Ew ... I can still taste the puke in my mouth."
DESIRAE: "Have fun listening to Tiniecia's ghetto-ass voice and eating ice cream."
PARIS: "I said to show the guys a really good time, but you were only interested in showing them something else: your privates."

+ For the record, yes, we know, Stephen called everyone a "skank" and admitted Arika "had a moment of sluttiness." But we're judging this week's entries based on quality, not quantity. Better luck next time, S!
