alright .. so i cant get past the first line.... magatu's derlicte!! hahaaaaaaaa loveeeee it

ok now i will try to get back toreading

The part that killed me this week is that the designer who went off on WankEye's makeup was herself wearing the most overdone, garish lipstick that looked horrible with her coloring. Pot calling the kettle black!

What the hell is so funny about politically incorrect humor? No, seriously, why did I almost splatter my computer screen with Diet Coke when I got to the part about Miami Chola and Chinaman Chen, it hit my funny bone so hard?

Now, LoLo, however, I have to take exception to your defending Brittany about the shoe thing. Nooooooooo! I don't get this thing that I think is American (is it?) with people seeing no problem at all with planting their dirty shoes anywhere they please. OK, maybe it's because I've lived in many big cities where it's not so unlikely that you may step into dog poo, splattered food, broken glass, chewing gum, vomit, etc., but I just want to slap anyone who sits next to me at a movie theater and puts their soles on the seat. Hey, maybe you're transferring mud/cat shit/chewing gum/see my list above onto the seat, but don't worry about the next person who sits there and whose pants you ruin. No, just be comfortable, honey. And why did Brittany need to put her shoes on the table anyway? Was the floor in the store so disgusting she was worried her poor shoes might get soiled? I doubt that. And maybe this lady eats lunch at that table. Or maybe they just fold clothes on it and they don't want their clothes covered in dirt off the street. So OK, I'm starting to veer into crazy old lady territory now (in length only!), so rant out. Whew. And people, don't even get me started on chewing with your mouth open. Ha ha. No really, don't.

In other things, I'm actually kind of in awe that these girls could find their way around L.A. so smoothly with just maps and no directions to consult. I don't know, I lived there for a little while and it just didn't seem so easy to me. I call shenanigans here somewhere.

Oh, and in other soul-crushing Tyraism news, I just heard she calls her online-mag a MagaLine. Really, was the English language so hard-up for words? What did we do to deserve Ms. Tyra Webster? Why do I keep sounding crotchetier and crotchetier? Is that even a word or am I becoming Tyra by osmosis? I need to go to bed now! So... confused...

I agree with sayhuh regarding the shoes. I think it's totally gross to put your shoes anywhere except the floor or a shoe rack.

So glad that Kara is gone - ugh. I am hoping that Erin and Sundai go next, but it doesn't really matter the order of the others, I'm just pulling for a Nicole/Laura/Brittany final three.

sayhuh and georgiababe - I also think putting shoes on the table is gross, BUT the shoes Brittany's putting on the table are the designer's shoes in the shop... not her OWN pair of shoes... I assume Brittany's returning the shoes the designer asked her to try on. If I were Brittany, I would probably put it on the table too, so the designer doesn't need to bow down in front of me to pick up the shoes... and that's something I would consider polite. But obviously, this rubs the designer the wrong way.

That's what I thought too, that she was returning the designer's shoes -- and that she was placing them on a WORK table. (I also figured Brit was just plain nervous.)

But I don't need this faux pas to find her skeletal look creepy and decidedly unsexy.

Laura's "hood rat" impression obviously came from watching too much MTV with her pals. You just know they're all white kids wishing they were urban black youth, and, like my own nephews (white suburban doctor's kids) look like they've stepped out of any one of thousands of gangsta rap videos. I don't consider her 'accent' as racist (i.e., all black people) so much as stereotyping a social group ('hood rats'), which is perfectly acceptable.

I still like VampirErin...it's telling that all of the designers found her to be too shy, while in private she's bitchy and competitive. But I give her the benefit of the doubt of just being really young and used to being the prettiest in the room.

Glad to see Karl go. I just found her unpretty. And it looks like the girl to get the 'evil edit' is the one to go each week. So, next up, Sundai (if only because that is one stupid name).

Oh yeah. BEN's actually pretty when she smiles.

Love the recap, as always. It's much more fun than the show.

I'm still amused that they censored part of Britany's top after clearly showing it so many times. Maybe my anatomy is off, but I don't think anything would be showing where they blurred it.

I too thought she was returning a pair of the designer's shoes and just wanted to be polite. As someone else pointed out, the designer wouldn't have had to bend down to get them.

As for BEN, I suspect she sounded so much more "alive" during the commercial casting because she had something written out for her and it was acting. Whereas in front of the panel, she's just being herself.

And I was so thrilled Karl left. Of course, that just leaves a bitch position open, and that seems to be filled very quickly once someone leaves.

I am sure that wasn't the first time he got his shit packed....erm....she...

ok, so now that the rest of the contestants are girls, let's get it on!

Not sad at all to see karl gone...its called karma, bitch...and that is what you are....karma...

see? Cause, karma is a bitch, so she is a karma...i think i am going to start calling people karma today...i will let you know how that goes...

Mercurian, itchy, and hadhas - I humbly agree that if those were the designer's shoes, then it isn't a faux pas after all and it could even be the polite thing to do. But from something I heard I didn't think they were the designer's shoes, so I checked. From another recap, here it is: 6. Rozae Nichols does not like it when you (Brittany) put your shoes on her table. “It’s not the kind of shoe I’d like to see near the collection.” So there you go. That lady is a wee bit extra bitchier than she needs to be (how dare you have such taste in shoes, Brittany!) but I still stand firm on the poopy/vomity shoes thing.

I am wondering, at the rate that they are eliminating the bitches, who's going to be our third place wacko mean finisher? You know, à la Jade, Bianca, Renee... And why doesn't Tyra come up with a "smize"-level term for that? I can come up with is bitchird or thitch, and don't tell me that's any worse than her "words".

Oh dear, I missed that part. I remember specifically thinking they were the designer's shoes because they didn't look easy to get into or out of (which I would think would be a requirement for a go-see, but I'm neither a model nor Tyra, so what do I know). In that case, then, no, she shouldn't have put them on the table.

I'd be content without a bitch in the final three, but I don't know how dramatic that would be, so it probably won't happen. Judging by how well she's been doing so far and her small flashes of bitchiness though, I'm betting it'll be Erin.

Has anyone else noticed that the WIkipedia entry for this cycle has already shown the winner (I mean "winner" I guess, if it's wrong - I don't know if it's just a guess or if someone actually knows and posted it)? What's up with that?

I can't post links, but it's not hard to find. And I don't want to spoil (or "spoil" depending on if it's wrong or right), so I'm not going to say anything else.

Hilarious recap as always!

I had a few observations..

First, I kept wondering if Sundai has a drivers license, she just kept bitching about it, but never offered to take the wheel!

Second, although I am a fan of Britney, I thought all three of her shots looked the same (a la sundai) - her face is better, but her body is doing pretty much the same thing - while Laura, BEN and even WonkEye gave tons more variety!

BEN reminded me of watching Maria Bamford do stand-up comedy (if you haven't seen her, I totally suggest it!) she has an odd voice (to say the least) but she can totally do "serious voice" when necessary - perhaps BEN just doesn't want to come off as fake at panel?

Lastly, I am always thrilled during the "go-see" episodes, mostly because someone always brings up Brittany's meltdown from season 8, because to this day when someone is overreacting I always think in my head: "there is like war in other countries.." - Natasha (possibly my fav moment in ANTM history!)

Thanks for that reminder, Carmelicious . . . for a minute, I forgot Natasha's name and thought she was the one who over reacted, but I concur, that was classic!!!

BUT, why is it that it never matters how many "designers" they actually see. Did anyone see them all? Do the designers know they are in a hurry and being timed?

Weird to see VE being shy and retiring, if nothing else, she always seems poised and ready to deliver a shot, maybe it's me, maybe it's covergirl (ugh)

So funny Lolo, you had me annoying the old coworker again!!!

All the stuff on Karl was super funny, and I thought all the same things, so thanks for refreshingly mirroring my views with her criticizing for things she herself lacks. Her mouth bugs the shit out of me too, and her photo series at epi end was weak as hell!!! The pic captions were too f'in funny!!!!

I agree with VE and Boney Brit duking it out for third place. In fact, the call out this week could just be the order they go in.

I agree about Sundai driving (who knew it was a pun to spell out)

If the number seen is less important than arriving on time, why not just see the closest three and sit on your arse for an hour, is it me!?

I'm glad Kara left. She was nasty and had bad pictures. I bet Sundai's next. Erin takes some nice pictures, but damn that girl is mean. Love Laura and Nicole. Hope they make top two.

Sayhuh... Don't forget to add Fatima to your bitchthird status!

I don't think VE is mean, just really young. I think she's getting a bad rap from that Walmart race thing -- now that we know a little bit more about the others, especially Sundai, maybe she was just acting in self-defense?

At any rate, she at least is believable as a model. And she's [gosh golly gee] so damn perty.

Of course none of the rest of the show matters -- this is now the second time they've had to stand in front of the president of Wilhemina, who will be, after all, the winner's future boss -- so HE's the one who'll be making that choice.

I can't stop rooting for Laura. I just love her country bumpkin self.

I'm so glad to see She-Male go home. I have drag queen friends that are more feminine than her. Yeah, she looks the most "modely", but she's a c-word and deserved the boot. I'm glad to see that the catty bitches are getting nixed pretty quickly this season. Usually they keep them all around until the final 3 or 4 to "keep things interesting". Good riddance!

VE is definitely the next bitch in line. I want to see BEN and Laura in the finals. I used to like Sundai, because she's the same height as me, but after her retarded decision to go to the 3rd go-see instead of heading back to camp just nixed any like I had for her.

You know, from now on I'm only going to root for reality television characters who are the same height as me too.

Not too many 6'6" players out there though. Oh well. Maybe I'll switch to basketball. ;-D

Shush about height, Itchy, are you trying to encourage that fuck Icemeyer?!!!

Oh, no, Karl's far too well-fed for the Derelict campaign, although she's rocking the right hair.

See ya, Karl. Hopefully Sundai the instigating little twit, will be next. She just grates on my nerves.

I loved Nicole this week. Wow. And Laura is still doing great, although, damn, gag her, please!

Parking meters: I admit, I laughed, but mainly because just last week I had to figure out how to use Austin's new fangled technological nightmare meters. You can't just jam in the coins and run for it when it's raining anymore. Nope, that's too easy. Now there's a whole technological contraption to deal with. There are no more meters, only a pay-to-park station that looks like an ATM. You stick your credit card in, it asks how long you are going to be gone. Then it spits out a sticker you have to put back inside your car's window. Put it in the right place or they will ticket/tow your arse. Then you get to go on your merry way, soaking wet and pissed off as hell that they took away simple slot machines. I miss the meters Laura was talking about with their simple little coin slots and primitive digital countdown clock. She'd best not come to Austin. She'd thin she's on a different planet. *sigh*

Itchy, one of the Harlem Globetrotters on TAR is probably your height--unless they are both taller.

Hypnotoad, I checked wikipedia and it says TBD for this cycle, so I guess they corrected it.

BTW did you know that Sundai's last name is Love. Sundai Love!

pixielated: I wonder if Sundai's parents know Harmonee' (

and Sparkal Queenz from Toddlers and Tiaras? Sundai Love is nearly as bad.

Ugh. Stupid super-sensitive mouse. :)
