SGTL = ANTM
So, She's Got the Look really is fucking great, as the most recent episode confirmed, thanks in no small part to the wacky foreigner stylings of Karin. Karin is SGTL's Natasha, and she's one of the several parallels that can be drawn to ANTM. All the similarities that I noticed are obsessively documented in the video below. If I didn't do it, who would, you know? But seriously, burlap sacks? Challenges involving heights? Disapproving gays? The same damn music? Major, major rip-off action is going on. I'd find this distasteful if SGTL's casting weren't so damn good. But it is, and so really, I'm happy to have this mini-season of ANTM, even without Tyra. If Kim Alexis would start smiling with her vagina arms, my summer would be complete.
Oh, and if you want the blowjobface collage for your desktop background needs, I got the hook-up:




You have permanently embedded the term "blowjob face" into my vocabulary. I have not been able to look at anyone with an open mouth the same way since I first read the term on your blog. It's awesome!

I am in awe of this. I am also in awe of your ability with insta-recall memory over when Jay says 'FLAW'...amazing

Any piece of writing that has the phrase "blowjobface collage" in it gets an A+ from me.

That video is absolutely amazing. It makes me actually want to recognize the existence of TV Land as a channel.

I think a Paula vs. Marvita cage match would make millions. MILLIONS.

An older, crazier Natasha. It's awesome.

Joy! I clicked on your link, half-thinking, "Boy, I miss ANTM Mondays at FourFour..." and BAM, here is a nice Monday treat! When the new round of sluts going to be announced?

jaslene post postjob face shot at the end of the collage :p

You are so wrong for using Natasha's "some places have war" quote to make your point. Soooo evil.
And what about makeovers???? The "I never thought I could look this pretty" makeover? The disasterously ugly weave makeover? The "they didn't really do anything to me so I'm mad" makeover? The profound tragedy that is short hair?

@MichaelTLH
A Marvita vs. Paula cage match would be like a modelrific version of Fight Club - they're the same person, I swear.
But, yeah. It'd make millions. I'd pay to see it.

speechless... yeah, that's me. you never fail to amaze me. now i'm thinking i should finally get cable.

She's Got the Look is available on TV Land's website, for those of us who don't have TV Land on tv! I wasn't going to watch it... but now it's a definite YES.

When I finally sat down and caught up with SGTL, I noticed all of this, and I'm so glad I'm not the only one. This is like the cheap shwaggie weed we have to smoke until the fall when the headies comes to town. It kinda sucks, but its sorta the same thing, it'll keep us interested until the real thing comes back.

Jaslene's BJF is killing me. So hilarious.

THANK YOU!
I wouldn't be lying if I said that SGTL has trumped ANTM in the epic battle for my heart.
The best part about the Beverly Johnson group confessional is that they were crying and talking about the injustices done to them...WHILE WEARING FUCKING WIGS.
I'm glad you sampled a little snippet of Paula's runway walk. BUT WHAT ABOUT ROXANNE'S THIGH LOVING SMIRKFEST?!?!?!

When you said you may recap it, I never thought it would be good as this. A mint chocolate skinny cow was calling my name from my freezer but I sat her riveted watching the entire thing.
I'm fully aware there is a pause button, okay!
I love the little Bahia shout out at the end, she's my girl... although I have to say she falls a little flat on the runway. Not literally but just, you know... flat.
Thanks Rich, that was awesome.

Fifty Feet...Of Organza. Cue shocked expressions. Rich, you really are the hardest working man in reality TV recapping. Thank you for making my stomach hurt with laughter.

Funnily enough I was just thinking about blowjob faces recently. You're so bountiful :)

Oh. My. God. That collage is fucking HILARIOUS. It went straight onto my desktop and now I can't stop admiring it.
Marry me.

I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be a bad day.
This turned things around.

I had no interest in this show but your montage does tempt me (this is how you sucked me into Rock of Love you wizard.) Multiple seasons-worth of clips must have taken you forEVER to assemble. And the fact you remembered the random sad dismissal music from one show to the next (not to mention a few months apart) just proves to me how many times you must watch each episode to be able to assemble your recaps. You bleed ANTM for us Rich. Recognize people!
