ANTM addendum

So, I messed up, as a few have pointed out. Readers Amy Z., and Will A., both emailed me screen shots of instances of crying from the last ANTM episode that I missed -- silly of me to ever think an episode of ANTM could have aired without a single tear spilled. My DVD drive is actually down right now (a new one's coming tomorrow), so I can't take these myself right now. I'll just post the ones they sent me to update the Crying Count (sans commentary).

49. Whitney

50. Fatima

51. Dominique

I guess it's safe to say that Edna's Edibles is burning.

And seriously, did my sight just go out for a minute? I understand missing the first two, but Dom is CLEARLY crying. Here I thought that the show was changing, when really it's just that my eyes going senile.

There's a special bonus after the jump: for the first time in the history. Of. My. Recapping. Of. America's. Next. Top. Model., a contestant has contacted me!

This was posted in the general comments of my YouTube profile, which, given the source, is weird enough to make total sense:

(I redacted a portion of it because it refers to some other...uh, work I do that I don't feel like broadcasting to my family should they make one of their frequent outings to my blog. Of course, since this comment is public, you could always just check out my YouTube profile if you don't know what it's referring to. But hey: I put in some effort to ensure the innocent stay that way. I did all I could!)

(And no, I'm not talking about porn. Whenever I make my foray into that world, I'll definitely give the heads-up in this space.)

ANYWAY: it's Amis! And she says nice things! I don't point this out to brag or whatever, but just to show how strong her character is to not only go out of her way to say something nice to someone who's so routinely...adversary, but also to adopt a bitchy nickname I doled out. Guess who's my favorite ANTM contestant of all time, now! Ann Markley, you've been replaced!

But really, I could only be happy with such a note considering the good-natured source. I wouldn't assume that most of the girls on the show could laugh at themselves so easily and I would encourage any of them (including my beloved Amishole) to avoid anything I have to say. My bullshit is based only on the whittled-down sketch of a character that we see on TV, my sense of punishment for those who are so unwise as to enter the exponentially absurd world of modeling competitions and whatever complete and utter nonsense I can squeeze out of my rapidly deteriorating brain (see above...and abover). Really, STOP READING NOW. It freaks me out a lot.

Since we're sharing Sara sightings--I go to the same gym she and commenter Kevin go to. I try really, REALLY hard not to stare at her because I ALWAYS run into her in the locker room, but sometimes it's all I can do not to go batshit fangirl.

[Guy DeLuk]

I saw Lauren on the G train 2 nights ago. She is Mongo tall and super skinny. She looked cute in a busted way and had on a jean jacket with a CRASS patch. Bless her little heart.
I felt too stupid to go up to her, but my b-f made an undercover cameraphone video.

[jess]

She exists (Natasha)!... and her husband is nowhere near as cool as Boris. She was strolling the tiny trendster section at a mall here in Dallas (and her tiny trendster was definitely wild at heart!... Natasha still looked elegant, if hopeless, chasing her red-head (cute?...ish?) kid.... But the girl was rockin the 4" heels even so. Loved her.

[Sarah]

I still think Amis looks vaguely like Milla Jovovich, and that Tyra & co. were blind for not realizing how cool she was.

[skylerharvey]

good post. i'm interested in finding out what this side thing you've got going on on youtube is. :P

a little bummed that this had nothing pertaining to Katarzyna - the reason I watch ANTM cycle 10.

[skylerharvey]

haha. alright, my bad. i realized i didn't go to the right blog about Katarzyna. :P

[doughgirl]

Can you do a gif of nigel running down the stairs on the 5/7 episode? It looked hilariously feminine the first time. It will only get funnier on repeat.

[Holly]

I think Amis was the victim of a tragic makeover. I would have liked her more if I didn't hate her hair.

[amanda]

She posted this in one of her comments on her own profile too:

"and thanks rich . you totally got me exploded on the youtube circuit."

woot.

[Dustin]

That's why I love Amis. She was really good natured, and she went before she should have. It's amazing how someone that went 4th is still one of my favorite girls this season. And I love her voice too, very crisp and clear.

And did Kat cry? I don't remember exactly.

[matt]

WE WANT MORE AMIS!!! AMIS are you listening?

[Kitten]

That's an understatement, jennifer. Chantal got a cover AND a six page spread. I'll notget into my ANTM sightings. We'll be here all day.

[Krystyona]

I love your recaps! They brighten up my Mondays. Have you ever thought covering the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance"? I think you could do wonders with it! (It starts May 22 on Fox)

[KidUgly]

i feel sorry for all those that don't know about the blocked portion of the comment. the other "work" has provided me months of joy.

"I know.. because i am her". killed me.
