It Ain't Over Until Tyra Doesn't Call Your Name - 
by J-Unit
With only a few episodes of America's Next top Model left, I guess it is time for me to own up and admit that this is, appearance-wise, one of the most janky seasons to date. Yes, I know that I have been one of those "it's really a television show, not a modeling competition" folks who say that we should enjoy all of the reality moments, and I will admit that Jade has given us plenty of those, but overall I think that it has been more busted than beautiful. That being said, I think that we have in Joanie and Danielle two candidates who are attractive, possess modeling talent, and actaully have decent personalities. Hopefully, these girls have end game, because if any of the other three win, well, let's just say it's going to get really ugly, or as some of us like to say, really Furonda.
As the person still remaining from the last bottom two, it was up to Furonda to start with all of the "I need to step it up talk". Furonda has had a good run, but this is not America's Next Top Anorexic Gumby, so I'm not putting my money on her. There is some hope for Furonda, because as Danielle says, it's not what we do that defines us; we are defined by how we rise after we are knocked down. Or something. I was waiting for the producers to translate Little Rock into some form of English for me, but they failed, so I had to paraphrase. I think you get the point. If life knocks you down seven times, stand up eight. Speaking of Stand Up Eight, you should check out the band of the same name from a friend of mine from college. Rip-Wood-Smith represent!
I know how I have talked about how nice it is to see Joanie's confidence shine through, but I have to say it again, especially now that Joanie appears to be Jade's least favorite person in the whole world. Any enemy of Jade is a friend of mine, and she has a lot of enemies that I would like to know, like grammar, sanity, and of course, Joanie. Jade mentioned that Joanie can be very demanding or as represented in haiku:
My name is the pot
Hello kettle. You should know
you are very black.
Seriously. I guess it takes a demanding person to know one. Same thing goes with Jade's next observation, which is that she doesn't think Joanie would be a good model because if she would go to castings in New York, they would laugh at her. Considering Jade has been going to castings for years and is not yet a supermodel, she must be familiar with the laughed at thing too.
Home Alone 2 called, it wants MacCaulay Culkin's hair back
Anyway, I have to admit that when they went to Thailand, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Milan, London, Tokyo, Paris, Madrid, Sydney. These are the type of places that I associate with high fashion. I guess I will always associate Thailand with Theravada Buddhism (if I were to take up a hippie religion, that would be it) and secondary Angkor temples. Then again, I am kind of geek. Still, you must dig deep to find the Thai contributions to the fashion industry. Cradle of civilization? Perhaps. Cradle of modeling? I don't think so.
