Saaphyri talks to Kennedy from Reality Remix about her Charm School Overall Experience. She expresses how she has buried the hatchet with Shay but she did feel that the picture incident was stupid.
Charm School's lessons seemed to have worked pretty well for Saaphyri because after being asked, "who was the craziest girl in the house?" Saaphyri still gave no names (Kudos to Saap).
The "infamous" Condo Down Payment was brought up and Saaphyri expressed that she did not have enough money to make a down payment on a condo in Los Angeles so she went far out to some where she could afford. But you check out this interview for yourself at Reality Remix.

Had To Make It Short And Sweet, Cause this is...
"Elle Mail"

I am still laughing at Mo'Nique saying you are the first winner of Charm School (you ain't broke Mo'Nique, so why are you begging for a second season?)

Anyways, Saaphyri is blowing up all over Al Gore's Internet and here's another interview. As Aisha said, "the Essence interview was good, but VH1's is a bit more detailed"
Here's an extract....

During the Flavor of Love 2 reunion, you talked about anger-management class. Was that really helpful?

Yes! At the time, I didn't think it was that important. I figured I'd go and it wouldn't really work. But yes! It actually does work. You learn to remove yourself from a situation and just realize that everything isn't negative. Anger management helps a lot. Especially in the situation with me and Darra.

You were really angry at her. Do you regret acting out?

No. I stand by it. The reason I went off on her was because I knew she was playing it up for camera. She offered me two luggages full of stuff. It's like, if you have all this stuff left over, why wouldn't you give it to the charity? If you didn't give it to the charity and you're trying to give it to me, something's not adding up to. It means you didn't really do it from your heart, you're doing it from a fake place

Saaphyri interview at VH1

Still no Charm School Finale Recap, but TxShawty found Essence Magazine's interview with the winner of Charm School Saaphyri Windsor.
Here's an extract from the Kenya Byrd interview...

ESSENCE.com: You once said that winning $50,000 was like winning $1 million. How has it changed your life?

SAAPHYRI: I got the money but I realize that money doesn''t make a person; you have to make the person. I am putting a down payment on a condo and it definitely feels good to have your own. And just to clear the air, I don't live in a box. For some reason people thought I did, but I lived with roommates. The truth of the matter is that as long as you don't have your own it's like you're homeless because any second you could be out on the streets. Yes, it's nice that I can pay my bills and mortgage, but I still can't afford to say, "I'm never going to work again." What the money has offered me is a platform to stand strong on.
