If you are anything like me - and to be quite honest I hope you are not too much like me because I am kind of a jerk, and I don't want to think all of the people who read my babblings about Top Model are jerks - you were quite distraught over being pre-empted for a baseball game. To make matters worse, this wasn't the World Series or even the clinching game of the series, but a stupid game 2. If people can't afford to buy cable to get the game on ESPN, well, maybe they should listen to the game on the radio. And isn't this something that KCAL is supposed to be bothered with? But whatever, I got over the slap in the face from networks, and realized I would just have to wait until Saturday. I had originally planned to watch it last night and blog it right away, but I decided that I would go and watch Serenity. Although NBCU gave screenings to every blog and their sister, they somehow left TVgasm off of their blog sphere of influence. How that happens is beyond me, but I still thought it was worth $14, if for nothing else than to see Julia Mililken kicking some ass other than that of Sherry Palmer.
Last week we lost Ebony, but the girls seemed to get over it pretty well. During dinner in Hollywood (they are spending a lot of time there so far this year), Diane talks about being up there with the judges. Yeah, it's tough to go up there and get criticized, but if you are one of the final two and survive, there is a lot you can learn from their comments. I am not sure if Diane was intimidated by all of the other girls, but she really has no sass anymore, and her attitude is one of the reasons the judges picked her in the first place.
Tyra makes a surprise visit to discuss the judging. As expected, the girls are always excited to see her. Each time she makes a visit, they act like she was lost and they didn't expect her to come back, like some lost cat they had spent hours making posters for and putting up all over the neighborhood. Kim said that it was such a boost to see Tyra, and I am sure it was a boost for Tyra to see that Kim had actually started to put on some makeup and act like a model, even though she had a long way to go. Jayla decided to ask what is probably on the minds of a lot of girls. Basically, she said that she was trying to do her best with the pictures, but it's not like she could take herself out of her own body to look at how she was doing. True, that may be impossible; generally people are able to tell in the mirror if they look good. It's like all those American Idol contestants who really have no idea how awful they are. Come to think of it, a lot of Idol contestants don't know how bad they look either. At that moment, Tyra goes all Zen on them. You see, when you perfect your style, you will be able to do that. Sort of like an athlete in the zone, the game will slow down all around you. And if you have trouble getting to that point, your photographer probably has enough of a pharmacy with him to convince you that you are floating anyway.
The girls returned to their house and learned from Tyra Mail that they would be swimming with the sharks the next day. Swimming with sharks is a game that a lot of people in this town know very well. It seems like the entire population between the ages of 18 and 25 in this town are doing it, and they even made a movie about it. Were they going to bring Janice back and have her yell at people until they cried? Would they learn how to fend off agents who tell them they can get them auditions but are only interested in getting in their pants? And why didn't Tyra just tell them what was going on when she was at the restaurant an hour earlier? I guess we'll find out the next day.

Re: Coryn....I don't normally quote Austin Powers but, THAT'S A MAN, BABY!!!

Jay in that sequined dress looked like my Aunt Teesee. God I hope she wasn't born a man and I was lied to all my life.
"Other than telling them that they might be asked to walk on anything and everything including water, broken glass, hot coals, and lava flows" but not dog poop barefoot?
In other news Daryl Hannah celebrated as Sarah would no longer be confused for her on national TV.
You could tell that Bree, while trying to conceal her christian values was thinking of Sarah and Kim, "you bitches are going to burn in hell! Lesbian ho's all burn in hell! Carpet munchers burn, burn, burn." Bree also told Cassandra that she would burn in hell for cutting her hair like a boy. Which is why Cassandry quit. The sway of religion is all powerful.
I hated that Sarah is gone because the estrogen chemistry was sooo hot between her & Kim. It would have been fun to see Kim break Sarah's heart on TV which is exactly where this was going.
I think, again that the X-Large Latina should have gone. Wake up ANTM panel & evict that beotch!
J-Unit - Surreal Life post soon? My britches is burning after Janice Dick-O-Son showed her ass big time.

Now even though she's a self-professed psychotic bitch, I kinda felt for Cassandra. I think they went overboard constantly dissing her for her pageant background. They could've made the same criticisms without attacking her "beauty queen" identity. Just made her dig in her heels. Plus, her makeover was by far the most extreme, even Twiggy and Linda Evangelista did not have such short hair, how many models do? Cassandra could've rocked a haircut like Jayla's. I think they were just being deliberately cruel.
As for that photo shoot, I was laughing my ass off the whole time. That was pure hilarity. "Run! Look scared! No not that scared! Pose! Run! Look over your shoulder! Look graceful! No you're not running enough!"
And Kim really does not look good in anything but the stuff she normally wears. I don't see her lasting long. But yeah, Diane's gotta go first.

Same thing about being cruel goes to making the clumsiest girl wear the dress with the longest train, and most insane headdress.
And I bloody well HATE Bre's "signature" walk.

I'm pissed that they took away the hot lesbian storyline. Fools.

Bre's walk makes me want to throw up everytime I see it.
Is it just me or is Nigel getting hornier and hornier each episode? Last week he was all about wanting to do "nasty" things to Nicole. This week he was practically leering over some girls when they were walking and was drooling all over Nik's picture. "I gotta get to the projects more often"

I think Nigel was worried once he figured out that most people in the US consider well-dressed photographers with british accents fairly likely to be gay, or at the very least eurotrash, so he is trying to turn the testosterone dial up a notch for compensation.

Next week's episode title:
"The girl who gets a boob job"
8 of 17 | Posted by Smitty | Posted on October 10, 2005 8:28 AM
Sarah is from Booneville. It wasn't the first time she played. There's something in the water down there.
Girls from the crank belt of America have been hooking up with girls but saying they like boys for time immemorial.
Sarah won't step for real because the only girls who do that in the Southern Midwest are the ones who form secret gangs and plot crimes against the ones who played but who then went back to boys.
It's a stereo-type but move there for like, 2 weeks, and you'll see what I mean.
More importantly, who's going to win? This crew is better than the last two combined, and I don't want to hear any sympathy votes for Moose and her falling-off face!

Also, I really hope Tyra's Mom addresses drug use instead of bulemia.
It would be a really nice twist.

I'm sort of sad Cassandra got kicked off. I actually really liked her haircut. I only wish I was bold enough to do that to my hair.

Mr. Jay is such a twat. He tells Cassandra..'you have to leave my set'..calm down Mary! This is modeling for Christ's sake! And by the way Mr Jay...those tight shirts and low rise jeans are not for you!
Here's how I envision the best episode of this show, ever: Coryn is exposed to be a man. She goes into the Men's Bathroom by accident and Kim (while adjusting her pseudo package) sees her using the urinal. No one will believe Kim, and Tyra will throw her off the show for not being supportive, nuturing and telling God awful lies! Coryn will win the title!
I can't wait.
KH
ps- get that fat latina bitch off this show, she is a loser. Bring back Toccara!

Katie your scenario had me snorting milk out of my nose. TFF
I just don't get the clamor about Kim. Have not liked her from day 1.
Cassandra is just a plain idiot- perfect for more pageants. She was smokin' in that new do, and another inch wouldn't have made a difference.
I think Lisa will make top 2 or 3. Maybe Bre with her?

I think that if Nik doesn't win I may boycott the next cycle (maybe just until it's shown as a one day marathon on vh1). She's incredible.
I bet the final three will be Bre, Nik and maybe Kyle. I think that the judges and everyone else will finally realize that Lisa is busted. I mean, you can know a lot about modeling, and know how to pose and stuff like that, but the face on that girl... she looks old and haggard and man I just do not think she should win.
And Nicole... Nicole looks like every girl I went to junior hs with. She can definitely find work though, maybe some in-store modeling for Wal-mart.
Her look is perfect for something like that.

Cassandra is stupid, she probably could have gotten far and gave it up for just a few more inches of hair. Who cares if she was just gonna get extensions anyway? stupid, stupid.
They need to just get rid of Diane already, they want to act like they are willing to give plus sizes a chance meanwhile last cycle they were putting down Keenyah for gaining a few.
I think Nicole has something but I think that Kyle is pretty but really looks very average-pretty like there's nothing that stands out about her.
I guess i feel this at the start of every season, then after all the pictures certain ones really stand out.

I really was disapointed to see Cass go. She's such an attractive girl.
However Sarah had to be eliminated, mostly because I can't stand one more episode of her and He/She Kim all up on one another.
As for Jay, he is just GROSS, I fast forward through every moment that he is on television, squealing or prancing around while exposing his Camel Hoove.
Someone get that man a hot oil treatment, or a razor to shave that nap off of his head.
Now that Cass is gone. I am rooting for Nik.
I also agree about Diane being dullsville. She contributes nothing to the show other than a few lbs of fat.

Ew that bathingsuit that they made Diane wear was just atrocious! Talk about UN-flattering!
