So, I hope that everybody has recovered from last week's America's Next Top Model. I know that it was Rebecca who had a seizure(OK, so I'm told it was a vasovagal syncope, but until I go to med school, I won't care) and fell over, but it was the audience that I was afraid would not be able to get up again. Most of us were having our own seizures, some may call them fits of laughter, and had to pick ourselves up off the floor. OK, I have to see it one more time, so here it is (scroll down for the video). How can ANTM ever top that sort of action. It may not ever happen, but at least you can try.
All jokes aside, the whole episode was kind of scary, and although Rebecca said it wouldn't affect her modeling career, don't you kind of think that falling over uncontrollably might be a little more serious than she lets on? I mean, one of these days, she's going to have a serious concussion or broken collar bone or something. And wouldn't it be unfortunate if she just fell over on the runway? The other person who was sort of worried about their performance last week was Brittany, who was in tears as she said that she didn't want to look like somebody who does porn. It's OK Brittany, you have at least one assured DVD sale when you get to it.
If there is anybody who should be learning from week to week, it has to be Brandi. She came to the casting session with such a happy and carefree attitude, but it looks like she hasn't had any fun the entire time she has been here. Maybe she is traumatized by her hair, and we know she is impatient, but unless she is taking her own pictures and paying for her own contract, she has to do something to get along with other people. And she should start with her roommates.
It has always been a reality show staple to have one phone for the entire cast. This arrangement guarantees a ton of drama. Our girls had actually sort of worked out a rotation to make things a little more fair. Since the east coast was three hours ahead, the people from the East would start first. And since Hawaii was three hours behind, she would be last. With all the girls talking, they should be reaching out and touching their respective time zones in some sort of rational order. It all would have worked out except that Brand was not having any of it. I guess she should know that it's a democracy, not a cheerocracy modelacracy.
Whenever Brandi goes off, there is only one person who can really talk to her. That would be Tiffany, of course, because it seems like everybody is scared of Brandi. I love whenever Tiffany starts the show by demonstrating how angry she used to be. Why? Because it means we will get to see another replay of the clip where the infamous line "Bitch threw a beer on my weave" were once spoken. I can't get enough of that shit.
The girls first Tyra mail was talking about being on point, not like EMPD, but like ballet. Right away I was thinking that this would feature some crazy russian lady who spent 50 years teaching under communism in the USSR, but decided to leave and now runs a studio somewhere near Fairfax. That was my dream, but the producers instead gave us Stephen Wenta, who was basically a German version of Richard Attenborough from Jurassic Park, he even had a cane, which he used to smack the models when they weren't in good posture. They don't have enough time to go through charm school, but I guess this Stephen guy would have to do. They could have at least involved liederhosen in some way.
Anyway, the thing about ballet was that it was supposed to show people about being conscious of their form. It is amazing that some of these girls think that it is OK to kind of go through the motions in these things. No matter how innocuous the early lesson is, it always finds it way into the later challenges somehow.

How did the girls not realize that the "rude photographer" bit was a test. You're obviously being taped and you ARE on a reality show, get a clue! These chicks are dumber than rocks.

I think they did know it was a test just by the way they were all talking in the room after they had their pictures taken. I'm so glad that Brandi is gone. She was really getting on my nerves.

I Love Lluvy. I can't explain it. Everyone thinks im nuts.
But to quote Woody allen when he was trying to explain why he was having sex with his adopted daughter "The heart wants what it wants"

I don't mean to nitpick J-Unit...BUT Tiffany actually said, "That stank ho poured beer on my weave!"
I could never forget it because it was one of my all-time favorite reality show moments! I think I've also added Tiffany throwing up on the floor of the restaurant to my list of favorites. That is fabulously ghetto and hilarious.

"All y'all bitches"
Oh Brandi, you had me at hello...
10 of 20 | Posted by Eddiebosox | Posted on March 25, 2005 8:39 AM
"All y'all bitches" was Tiffany.
"Yo ass be to' up right now" was Brandi.
Sheesh.
Was Tiffany trying out for the new DC Comic film adaptation of "Pubic Lice Girl?"

I love naima. I think she is so unique looking. And any girl who has the balls to sport a mohawk and still look good has my vote.

funny post J-Unit. Especially ponting out how much help Tiffany got from Michelle after she threw up. But you forgot to mention that Michelle also helped Tiffany change her tampon, shave her legs and have phone sex with her baby's daddy in Florida (on East coast time of course). Those girls sure are close.
Adios to Brandi and her bad attitude. Maybe she can have her mom sew in a brain instead of a new weave.

I am soooo glad Brandi is gone. I didn't get her at all. She was a bitch and ugly. I have no idea how she got on the show. I can't wait for the flesh eating bacteria hysterics next week. Nothing like inciting a little chaos for no reason...

How could one (Lluvy) recover after being told that you took the worst photograph in the history of ANTM?... Too funny!

Lluvy has been my favorite from the start, I think she's sooo gorgeous. Everyone thinks I'm insane but I'm hoping she'll finally "get it" with her posing, and start delivering amazing photos... It's the worst to 1st story, like Yoanna ;)
