In Y'all Tall Bitches' Face - 
by J-Unit
I have to admit, I had to get convinced that America's Next Top Model was going to be enjoyable television. Although nobody needs to give me an excuse to see a whole lotta Tyra Banks, I kind of brushed aside the show. I sat through a couple of scenes and realized I could do a lot worse than watching a lot of hot women do their thing. We started with fourteen then eliminated our way down to three just ladies left in the final episode. Amanda has gorgeous eyes, which are ironically failing her, and a great camera presence, but doesn't necessarily wow you in person. Eva is the girl with the attitude, a little short, a whole lot of spunk, but sometimes "doesn't deliver the big performance". Yaya is the afro-centric Ivy Leaguer, and perhaps best looking of the final three, but often makes us want to slap some humility upside her head. My only complaint is that we only had sixty minutes worth of finale to crown this year's winner.
I know that people are going to be missing B-side's usually outstanding recap of this show, but he is saving his energy for what is sure to be an amazing finally of The Apprentice. I told him snorting a little coke or some ritalin would get him through this tough time, but not being an aspiring agent, he likes to keep himself drug-free.
Last week, Anne was eliminated, and there was really no controversy about it. She has taken some of the worst pictures, and although she was tall and beautiful (Can you believe she made it farther than Norelle?), she just didn't seem like a good fit to be among the winners. There was a bit of controversy when she completely ignored her seemingly best friend Eva after her eviction. The strain in their relationship has been tough on our little diva, and you could tell she was really upset with what happened.
Not to worry though, because with people like Yaya and Amanda around, you know that they will do anything in their power to make her feel more comfortable and part of the group. She's vulnerable and just needs a friend. Uhhh, no. I think Yaya secretly enjoyed seeing Eva so shaken up, and my suspicions were confirmed when Yaya said "If there was anything Amanda or I could do to make Eva feel more included or comfortable, I don't think that we would". Yaya so smart and yet so compassionate. I guess when she was lecturing other people about "respeito" (respect) and wearing it on her T-shirt, it was kind of a suggestion and not a hard and fast rule. OK Yaya, you are smart, black, and beautiful do you have to stick the dagger in and twist it too?
A big deal was made about the last panel, because the judges said that they didn't see anybody who had what it takes to win. I think Nolé was just a little crabby because his dog got shipped to Korea instead of Japan, which means it is likely in somebody's galbee right as we speak. Hey, I don't care what they put in the Korean barbecue, I still eat it. The photo shoot before the first elimination of the night was going to be a Cover Girl spread, and the photos taken for that shoot would be used as part of the $100,000 contract that the winner received at the end of the competition.
