One of the reasons why ANTM is such a great show comes from some of those modeling paradoxes mere mortals like myself cannot hope to understand. We saw a lot of people get cut yesterday, some of whom we thought should have stayed. Likewise, we saw a lot of people make it who we thought were hideous, and I was not shy about stating my reservations about some. The thing is that it doesn't matter what we think, it is what the camera sees that makes all the difference, and that is really what the judges are trying to anticipate with their selections. We also have to wait for the makeovers to see what professional makeup and styling will do for the complexion. But all of that can be discussed later. For now, we have to find these ladies a place to live.

Continuing on the Beverly Hills theme, the girls all piled in front of City Hall in front of the "scenic" entrance that is on Crescent between Santa Monica Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard. I know I have mentioned it before the there are two Santa Monica Boulevards in Los Angeles that run parallel to each other from just east of the 405 through Beverly Hills. I remind everybody because it is still one of the dumbest things I can ever imagine. A close second is that there is a Harvard, Yale, and Princeton street in every neighborhood in Los Angeles. There is even a Bowdoin (which people pronounce Bow-doyne) and a Hobart, but no Dartmouth. WTF is up with that?

I would like to know what people think when they first think of Beverly Hills. If you said "Star Tours," you are right in line with the ANTM producers. All of the girls piled into a double decker tour bus for a private tour of the homes of the stars. And if you don't think it could get any better than that, they also exhumed Robin Leach, who is now about as cool as that guy who dresses up in stockings and says "Welcome to Beverly Hills" in 100 different languages.
