Ok, Gasmii, given that there isn't a ton of new footage in the reunion and I figured the finale would be all glitter confetti and models rubbing Corey's big bald head for luck, I decided to do an UBER-RECAP of them both together - enjoy!
So, what have you been up to, Beautiful Frankie?
"Make Me a Supermodel: Special Olympics Edition!"
I'm totally excited to bring back some nicknames! And see some Beautiful Frankie!! Andy Cohen hosts the reunion. The ten eliminated models are sitting at the foot of the catwalk, looking anxious. Andy mentions that while they were on the show, they weren't allowed to watch it, and asks them what it was like. Jacki, whom I missed desperately and really think got robbed in this competition, says it was like a different show from what she lived. And she is surprised, why, exactly?
Birdface Aryn, whom we all had been hoping might have died of avian flu by this point, says that while she was there (the whole two weeks), she forgot it was a show, they were just living their lives. Kissing other people's husbands, rolling around in lingerie on a bed while a crazy German lady takes your picture, you know, totally mundane, banal kind of stuff.
Andy mentions that Dominic was the Mayor of Excuses Village, which sounds like a super fun place to visit, especially when you want to take a sick day from work to go to Six Flags. Dom lives right up to his reputation, still bitching about cowboy books that were too small for him. LET IT GO.
Then we get down to the really hard-hitting issues. A viewer wrote in to ask Katy why she was always talking through a mouthful of double stuffed Oreos about how hard she was working on improving her body. Katy said that she had one piece of cake on Ben's birthday, and it was good and she was glad she did it. We have to remember, it wasn't Katy's body that did her in - it was her shitty photos.
Then we get a viewer question for Jacki - does she think she was voted off for being a bitch? Jacki said she never lost sight of the competition, and had to be herself. Herself just happens to be a giant bitch.
And with that, they bring out the final four models. Ben sits next to his exgirlfriend Aryn, Perry Blue Steels his way down the catwalk with his shirt halfway unbuttoned, exhibiting the swagger we know and have come to love. He gives Casey a big hug and sits in the front. Holly is wearing a white dress with hot pink tights, channeling Week One's first photo shoot. I'm not sure looks like that have a lifecycle that long, but to each her own, I guess.
Andy asks the eliminated models if America made the right decision as far as the final four. Mayor Dominic says that Ben and Ronnie's bromance carried them far and kept them their a long time. Sarah agrees that the public loves them, and Katy pipes up that as soon as she got home, they were all anyone wanted to ask her about. Ouch.
Apparently Bravo and everyone else alive has been calling them Bronnie instead of Bonnie. I like Bonnie way better and am going to stick with that.
Which is better? You be the judge.
We revisit the bromance, from start to finish (told ya there'd be a lot of recycled footage tonight), including Ben lending Ronnie that hideous lucky necklace, and the time that Ben comes back from elimination and Holly is audibly shocked. That was my fave. Back at the catwalk, Ben redeems himself from his snowpenis comments by saying that if people at the jail judge him for having a bromance with Ronnie, that's just ignorant and he doesn't give a crap. Ronnie says that his romantic feelings for Ben have dissipated as he realized it was unrealistic. Casey chimes in that Ronnie fell in love with a new guy every day, and if there's anything Ronnie is good at, it's being gay. That is the most backhanded compliment ever. I love Casey.
Andy asks Ben if he'd kiss Ronnie for a modeling assignment, and Ben says he would, but with no tongue. Then what's the point?
Then Andy whips out the coup de gras - Bronnie t-shirts. Apparently, Bravo has been selling them, and have probably made a total of $15 so far! AT LEAST!

I'll miss you Sparkles! I really enjoyed these recaps- more than even watching the show. Glad Holly won. Ronnie will do just fine becoming the gay model ambassador for the world. Lo'ts to do- lot's to do.
After the show aired my tivo went crazy and recorded the entire Make Me A Supermodel UK marathon. Wow. Kind of boring and they only kick people off like once a month! Waaay too many sitting around talking moments and the challenges were sort of lame. I finlly got smart and went to the end to see who won. I do like that they have "live" catwalks and that's what the audience votes on. Maybe if this show is back next year, they can copy! Other than that, America rules supermodel-wise over UK.

I'm so glad America got it right and Holly won! But, I think if it had been a final 2 instead of final 4, she would not have gotten the win. I bet Ronnie/Perry/Ben votes were split by their fans, and Holly fans just voted for her. WOOHOO!

Thank god for putting justice in the world and letting Holly win:)
Did anyone see how pissed and surprised Ronnie was when he didn't win? LOL. He really thought he had it in the bag. He probably had his victory speech in his back pocket. lol.
So glad Holly won. It was only right.
Sparkles I will miss you. Though your recaps were INSANELY SLOW, they were GREATLY enjoyed!!
:-)
Good luck on your next show!
By the way, is anyone watching "College Hill Atlanta" on BET? That show needs a recapper immediately! Is is really stupid. To think that those kids are in college...must had open admission...
