It's that time again. God, it's always that time again! Not that I'm complaining or anything. Anyway, recaps, as usual, will be posted on Mondays. Except maybe not this Monday: I'm about to do some pretty intense traveling and I may get a late start. I'm going to do my best to get the recap up on time, but if I don't, know that it's on the way. Know that I wouldn't leave you hanging. I mean, how could I, what with this and all...
...y'know?
Anyone read the NY Post the other day where Paulina Porizkova said none of the girls from ANTM will ever be REAL models? And then admitted she plans to say as much on the show! A casting person supposedly said that's why they hired her, to be the "next Janice". Can't wait for the stank! Don't mince words Paulina!

More than once this episode, I turned away from embarassment. I was embarassed for them even if they weren't for themselves.
And yes, Fatima said that FGM was a tradition in her village and it was treated as a very positive thing...and then the tears came, and they came. I am sorry she went through what she did, but girlfriend ain't stupid, she is going to milk this harder than the chick pumping her breast.

That girl that was all like "I slept with your boyfriend" to Tyra, (Allison I think?), totally reminded me of Sara Silverman.

Seriously? Did you miss the part where Fatima was cornered and shrieked at for simply pointing out the logical inconsistancy of somebody proudly proclaiming herself a bitch and then immediately getting offended by the term when used objectively?
no, i didn't miss that part when she called the other girl a bitch (after the other girl admited that she could be a bitch). I wouldn't call it cornered, since it was 1 on 1, and they both looked like idiots... but the other girl (whoms name escapes me) had a right to be angry with Fatima. Fatima isn't the victim... she started that drama by calling the other girls ghetto when nobody asked her for her opinion. (she complains that she always felt left out with AAG's, but she may be alienating herself by being too stuck up, self-righteous and judgemental) Then while girl was trying to call her on it while admiting that she could be bitchy herself, Fatima called her a bitch to her face over and over again - soooo, yeah, i think the shrieking was called for in that case. She's lucky thats all she got. Fatima is beautiful, but she was just as childish as the rest of them... and yup... i still dont like her right now. but like i said, we'll see, maybe she'll grow on me.

All I could think of when I watched the premiere was what is Rich thinking now. Maybe I watch this shite just to feel close to you. (Did I just bust out a Carpenters lyric? Yikes.)
I thought last night's episode was fairly good actually and I liked at least half the girls. Maybe I'm trying desperately to be optimistic after the douche nozzle that was last cycle. One of them reminded me of Victoria (my lone bright spot in of last cycle) but I can't remember their names yet and anyways she'll be gone prolly before I learn it.

I was thinking the same thing!

Woot! Knew I could count on you for a small hit of ANTM Rich-ness this morning, and so thank you thank you! Also just caught your Pot Psychology vids on Jezebel and nearly peed my pants laughing at you two. Travel safe, Rich!

Stacy-Ann looks like she should have been cast in Men in Black rather than ANTM. There's something very...extraterrestrial about her. Like a succubus from Alpha Centauri.
Either way, America's Next Train Wreck rolls on.

I'm not feeling any of the people this season.
Especially Kimberly. Ew. But I can see why they picked her. She totally has that Gemma Ward doll-face/alien look down.
I wish the Impala Chick had made it, then maybe she could show off her ride in the Cover Girl commercials during Cycle 11!

I should have known other people would have seen the Sara Silverman resemblance...that's all I could think about the whole time.
Posted by: Courtney | February 21, 2008 at 12:28 PM
WOW, this season will be like a car wreck that I can't stop watching. I seriously cannot believe that they couldn't find better girls than the pack of crap they had. And yet, I won't be able to turn away because of the tragedy of it all. It's hard to say exactly, but I think I was most appalled by the punk girl with the walk like she couldn't feel her feet...I refuse to remember her name, all I could think of was, how on earth did she get through the screening process, let alone into the finals???

Oh and PS...the Saliesha Cover Girl commercial made me vomit all over the place. That's the one thing that might make me not watch the show...the fact that I know I will see a Saliesha commercial every time...YUCK.
Posted by: B | February 21, 2008 at 12:38 PM
The girl that's tried out 8 times.
Most. Pathetic. Person. Ever.
Being rejected 8 times by a television modeling competition is not inspirational. Kill her.
Posted by: David | February 21, 2008 at 01:12 PM
Wow... there are some fug bitches up in that lineup!
How the hell they let Marvita or whatever her name is in is beyond me.
Stank attitude on a stank lookin girl.
Posted by: LisaL | February 21, 2008 at 02:00 PM
Please, oh please, call great, glorious attention to Tyra's horror over the lap dance. Too funny.

I just don't have time for your excuses. ANTM is on and I need my recap hot and steamy Monday morning. Pubic hair exhibitionists, clitoral circumcision, "Asian tears", Forunda. I don't think it's fair to ask me to wait until Tuesday for that shit.

HATER! and this is directed to all the people who say stank shiz about saliesha. you're all just J that she's cute and nice and WON and you never will.

I totally agree that it seems they pick some bottom of the barrel chicks every season and I cram to understand the foolishness of it all. That punk rock chick and the little blond? They couldn't walk for shyt, are you kidding me!
Will reserve judgment on the rest-but I thought Saleisha looked better-back to normal in the CG shots and folks really need to get over her winning already-shine on Saleisha, shine on!

what about laura the coke whore?
Posted by: kacie | February 21, 2008 at 03:22 PM
I couldn't tell if I was hearing things or not, but did the punk girl (with the bad walk) say she was an heiress? Twice?
Posted by: kdub | February 21, 2008 at 03:32 PM
DO DO DO DO DOOO..
I got Stacey-Ann love.
And Amy? I completely agree with everyone who says she's Lisa version 2.
Kimberly is like Kathleen (c8) but slower.
Allison = Sarah Silverman.
Fatima has a Yaya personality.. which I'm sure Tyra will break down.
Posted by: Nic | February 21, 2008 at 03:38 PM
Lauren = Martha Plimpton. Remember Goonies? That's her. No joke, she is a dead ringer.
Me, I am pulling for the Lisa knock-off. She actually sounded gracious, talking about all the beautiful girls around her.
Posted by: Alice | February 21, 2008 at 03:38 PM
oh i know most awkward moment ever
Posted by: raymi | February 21, 2008 at 04:01 PM
Martha. Effing. Plimpton. THANK you.
That's been driving me crazy.
