Fug Madness has a reverse curse — a blessing, I guess. Namely, several of our winners or runners-up either turn themselves around post-championship, or totally disappear for awhile (sometimes merely because they’re doing something personally diverting but possibly gross that the public is unaware of, like Aubrey O’Day deciding to romance Donald Trump Jr). Vanessa Hudgens is the most obvious example of a winner who pulled herself together to later emerge considerably more fantastic than once she was, but I would argue that the same thing happened to Miley; likewise, I feel like ’17 champ Keke Palmer has been curiously absent of late and I hope she’s off writing a great novel or something. But until we find out, please enjoy current champ Bella Thorne (it was a long and hideous road, but she persevered to beat Halsey) looking basically totally reasonable — thigh-high boots and all. Long may she reign!
