* SoreLoser: Mo'nique, in spite of the fact she wasn't even ''on'' the losing team in this instance. During the debate challenge when she deferred judging to a guest teacher, and that teacher awarded victory to the team Mo'Nique personally felt were the clear losers she loses it. While she does uphold the guest judge's decision she doesn't hide the fact telling him he was wrong, and telling the winning team they were awful and should be up for elimination. Her attitude comes completely out of left field and sets in motion a lot of hurt feelings and flared tempers for the rest of the season (this could be seen as the point Larissa took a major turn for the worse). It also helps that Brooke, who didn’t even like Larissa, agreed with the latter.

** A small one towards Darra; yes Schatar being framed for taking the photos was the final nail in the coffin, but the two also raised the least amount of money for charity. Schatar's items were all filthy and damaged, and instead of stepping up, Darra decided to get really picky in what she would sell because she thought it was unfair Schatar didn't have to contribute to their team.

** Saaphryi's aggressive behavior is discovered to be a natural reaction to her being borderline homeless. Due to the fact she had to learn that you don't put anything that belongs to you down because someone could steal it when your back was turned, she becomes extremely defensive about anything she perceives as her own (like the bed incident during ''Flavor of Love'', or her UGG boots during this show).

Even Saaphryi speaks about how Becky needs to watch what she says in the clip show episode.

** Mo'Nique herself after the team she felt were the clear losers ended up winning the debate challenge. Instead of simply congratulating the victors and being gracious to her guest judges (who she willingly deferred to) she instead calls the judges out for getting it wrong and telling the winning team they should have lost. For calling herself the "Dean of Charm School" it was a very uncharming display, and Larissa ends up calling her out here and several times thereafter.
