   “I can’t taste food, Mama!” /sob

   Sigh. She is either a complete fake (my opinion) or a lunatic who needs to get out of there ASAP. And because I don’t believe her anyway, I don’t actually believe she ‘didn’t realize’ she didn’t shoot Kiara’s interview. Then she has the nerve to bitch about the number of takes Kiara needed to get her retake of the deleted interview done against a blank wall when she was rattled by the Victoria’s screwup. I really dislike Victoria. I don’t like Kristin at all but I did think it was hilarious that she was outside the phone booth eating and staring at Victoria sobbing hysterically to her ‘mama’ and yelling at her that her time was up to get out of the booth already! It was bitchy, but since I think Victoria is faking it anyway it really cracked me up.

   Bryanboy needs to get off my TV. Like, yesterday. That whole throwing the paper ‘media’ comments on the floor in front of that girl was so bitchy and rude. He is just a little rodent. Rob was missing this photo shoot but I think that had a lot to do with him not thinking groping the models was worth having to hang out in that nasty diner and possibly get down in the garbage, floor, and toilet with them. I think he decided this one he’d pass.

   Tyra is so full of BS. What was that thing, that ‘modeling’ BS she ‘invented’ where you do an every day thing and just do it as though you were modeling? Like that is a thing now? And true to this low budget season the girls had to dress and shoot themselves for the challenge. And drive themselves too I think. There are only six girls left. I somehow doubt there’s going to be any big trip this cycle. I mean, they would have gone by now, right?

   Once again Kelly looked like a prisoner. I am beginning to suspect that Tyra has kidnapped her little girl and is holding her hostage so that Kelly will show up to panel and grudgingly participate. I love Kelly and I’ve seen her a lot on other shows and I have never seen her look so miserable and trapped in my life. She is a very strong woman. This is just sad. Hang in there Kelly! It’ll all be over soon and you’ll get your little girl back.

   When I was watching this yesterday, my mom happened to walk into the room when Bryanboy was on (she doesn’t follow the show like I do). She promptly left the room, stating “He’s annoying.”

   Oh, and my mom was also very unsettled by Victoria and her obviously fake sobbing.

   Is it my imagination but is each episode actually titled with the story of the girl who gets axed that week? It was last night and I think it has been before — but I’m not sure if it is consistent or not. Does anyone know? Because that would be very aggravating.

   I don’t recall whether I mentioned this in another comments thread or not but my theory is that Victoria (who is already an actress with IMDB credit for small independent films of no consequence) is using this appearance on ANTM as a kind of national audition tape. Is Tyra in on it is my real question. I kind of think Tyra cast Victoria on purpose for the fake dramatic effect her weird behavior would create) but wouldn’t it be fantastic if Victoria was faking out Tyra as well? If I knew that, I would totally root for Victoria. As it is I can’t wait for her to go. I think it’s interesting that she really turns on the melodrama when it suits her but when Tyra started asking questions at panel Victoria was as serious as a heart attack about convincing her to let her stay. She seemed different to me in an eye blink.

   That whole ‘I can’t be pregnant! I’m a baptist! I can’t have an abortion!’ melodrama with the photo shoot backstory (in addition to last week’s ‘I murdered my circus boyfriend and freed the animals!’ crapfest is another reason I think she is doing an audition tape. The reason I think Tyra may be in on it is because although Tyra is a beast she is a shrewd beast and I don’t think she’d miss the fakery, but she might promote it. And because they seem to favor her in shoots quite a bit and put up with her nonsense more than I think they would if she were just some girl in the contest.

   But I guess we’ll have to see how it plays out.

   Okay…I can’t believe it, but…@andyourlittledogtoo…I BELIEVE!! I was convinced, finally, that you were correct while watching the episode. Victoria is a plant. There. I said it.

   She made DAMN sure during the whole episode that she worked those girls into a lather so they would do EXACTLY what she wanted them to, ahem, “draw Tyra’s attention”, ahem.

   She’s a fantastic actress, but if you watch her while she’s “being called out” her acting got a little sloppy. “My health? [gasp] Wait!” And a confused and, frankly, a bit overdone exacerbation.

   I BELIEVE!

   My mom has that hideous hat that Bryanboy is wearing in the above picture. She wears it to the beach/pool and my brother and I make fun of her SO bad for it. I guess next time I see her in it I’ll have to shut my mouth because apparently she’s “high fashion” now. Ugh. WHY ARE FASHION EXPERTS ALWAYS SO HORRIBLY DRESSED?

   I still do not believe LOL.
   I agree that her acting at panel was horrible, but that was probably because she was indeed lying, and maybe she’s just really bad at doing that.

   She knew going into panel that day that the girls were concerned for her mental and physical health.
   She also said herself in the house that she wasn’t feeling well and was getting sick.
   Anyone with eyes can see that she’s getting thinner and thinner. Her thigh at this point in the competition is like half of her thigh in the group photo that they always show at the end. And you know her ass is hungry, because she always watches the girls’ food when they are eating.
   She knew full damn well that the jig was up.
   So when I saw her in panel sounding so fake and forced, to me, that was just her being a terrible liar.

   And tbh, whether she’s a plant or not, it’s good to have someone interesting in the cast.
   Except for Nastasia, everyone else is either a bitch, boring, annoying, or a hybrid of those.

   I just finished season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race (don’t judge me, it is great background while writing and it is full of great puns, I always love a good pun) and the quys/gals on that show receive more modeling advice than they do on ANTM.

   I don’t care how ‘high-fashion’ BryanBoy thinks he is, he was wearing half-calf black socks with old man black shoes and shorts when the girls arrived in Palm Springs. Also, why were the girls so excited about Palm Springs? It’s Palm Springs not Vegas or NYC.

   ^ And they didn’t even get to hang out or enjoy anything there.
   They slept in those moldy hotel rooms and then went back to what must be their equally filthy house.

   P.S. Nobody’s gonna judge you for watching RPDR.
   I’d much rather hear “Oooh gurl, you got shemail!” than hear “Tyramail!!” echoing through my home.

    @chaos: Totally agree it’s good to have her drama in the house, and like you said “plant or not”, at least she’s not playing a mean girl!

    Somehow my DVR didn’t get this episode, so I can’t weigh in . . . but I can say, I think Victoria keeps it interesting too.
