We knew it! We just KNEW that Paris would realize the error of her ways and crown Stephen her bestie on tonight's finale of BFF! Actually, we didn't ... but we prayed it would happen. And thankfully, even in Reality TV-Land, there are still some happy endings. Check out the blushing bridesmaid's update below to find out how he and his new best friendzie have been bonding since the show wrapped...

Ahhhhhhh! Can you believe it!? I'm Paris' new BFF! It seems like I've been in "somebody pinch me" mode forever ... and it feels so, so good now that everyone can finally know how everything turned out!

The night of the finale was magical. I (along with everyone else) assumed that my BFF Journey had ended. I was very excited to be in the finale and watch as either Tiniecia or Stefanie was crowned the new BFF. I remember when we pulled up in front of Paris' grandparents' house, Desirae turned to me and said, "So how you gonna feel when Paris calls your name tonight and says she wants you to be her new BFF?" I laughed it off and said, "Yeah, right." Little did I know what would happen an hour later.

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...

Stefanie, Tineicia, we have no doubt you guys both would've made Paris happy. But we've been rooting for Stephen since the get-go, and we couldn't be ecstatic-er (more celebrationy??) over his win. So give it up for the third place/first place finisher, y'all! Here's five reasons why Stephen's the bestest/sweetest/least hungry tigerest friend a girl could have.

Next week, Tiniecia and Stefanie are facing off (um, literally) in the hopes of becoming Paris Hilton's new gal pal. Which means, no matter how devastated you (okay, fine, WE) were to see Stephen go, it's time to move on -- and tell us which of these lovely ladies deserves to come out on top. Think one of them screams BFF material? Take our poll and let us know who Paris should choose!

+ Don't forget: The finale of Paris Hilton's My New BFF is less than one week away! Tune in Tuesday, August 4th, at 10pm to find out who wins!

Stephen may not have any hard feelings about tonight's elimination but we're still totally reeling! And after reading the dimply Mormon's well-wishy farewell letter, we're even more convinced Paris made a mistake by cutting him loose. Forget all that shtuff about wanting a girl bestie -- Stephen's way too sweet, funny and adorbs to finish third! (Right!?) So show the highest-performing dude in BFF history you still care -- and tell us whether you guys think he deserved to go all the way.

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.

It's almost time for Paris Hilton to crown her new BFF! And with the next-to-last elimination coming up, Stephen, Stefanie and Tiniecia are all starting to wonder if it's the end of the road. Watch as the final three absorb the shock of being thisclose to BFFdom, and tune in tomorrow to see Paris make the hardest cut of the competition.

With only three BFFs left and two weeks to go, it's almost time for Paris' decision. But before she makes up her mind, Paris wants to find out a little more where Tiniecia, Stephen and Stefanie are coming from. And what better to scout out her brand new bestie than by traveling to everyone's hometown?! Watch as Paris leaves Los Angeles for some Southern comfort and gives the final three a little taste of home sweet home.

When Amanda got the boot on last night's Paris Hilton's My New BFF, she actually felt a little relieved to be headed back into the arms of her boyfriend. But looking back, this ex-BFF thinks it was sorta silly for her to be so homesick in the first place. Check out her update below!

Getting to be on Paris Hilton's My New BFF was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. I am so grateful to have been blessed with the opportunity to not only meet Paris Hilton, but to compete for her friendship and make many other friendships in the process.

I've learned so much about myself from being out of my comfort zone (i.e. moving to L.A. for that short period of time and doing things that I never thought in my life I would/could do!). I feel so lucky and am so appreciative for this whole experience.

One thing I definitely noticed from watching myself on TV was how much I curse! I'm gonna have to work on that for sure, it was really embarrassing to see that!

It makes me sad knowing that I didn't make it to the end, but I think that at that point it was my time to go. I was homesick, which is so silly looking back at the situation now ... I could have sucked it up! However, I am proud that I made it as far as I did. I never even expected to make it on the show! Plus, I'm very happy with how things played out.

As far as the final three BFFs go, Paris will find a great friend. Tiniecia is so funny and nice. (She's pretty misunderstood by the viewers -- Tiniecia would do anything for the people she cares about.) Stephen, in one word ... amazing! That boy would make any girl happy, he's so charming! And Stef is a good friend deep down inside, when she's not hiding behind all those tears. I think once she lets go of her past, she'll have so much more to offer the world and Paris.

Paris herself was everything I imagined and then some. She's so sweet and nice, and when I talked to her, I felt like I was talking to one of my girlfriends. She's so normal! Paris has inspired me so much and I want to thank her for everything. Words really can't express how grateful I am.

Shooting Paris Hilton's My New BFF was so much fun, and I will never forget it. However, it's time to move on to the next chapter of my life! Many good things to come for me in the future. Stay Tuned!

Don't cry for Elena, she's totally cool with the way she went out. Plus, girl says she had the time of her life on Paris Hilton's My New BFF! Check out her note below, in which she can't say enough good things about Paris and the remaining contestants...

Being on Paris Hilton's My New BFF was the best experience of my life. I met some truly amazing people! And being eliminated for not wanting to move to L.A. was fine with me ... I was just grateful that I didn't do anything wrong or hurt anyone's feelings.

As for the Final 5 -- Amanda, Stephen, Neicy, Stef and myself -- we had the best time ever! At this point in the competition, we were all so happy for each other that we'd made it this far, and none of us wanted to leave. I can say that Paris will definitely have an amazing BFF no matter who wins.

Everyone keeps asking me about Paris, and all I can say is that she is the coolest girl ever ... so kindhearted, she would give you the shirt off her back! I know you're not supposed to believe everything you read, but in this case you should, because it really is true. Anyone would be lucky to have Paris as a friend.

I hope that if I was anything to the viewers, I was good entertainment and pretty makeup, and that I came across as myself: just a normal fun girl who loves to make people laugh! Stay tuned for the rest of BFF!
