The captain's kid, Jake, over on the Cornelia Marie was turning my stomach when he pulled his own tooth, or most of it (his dad egging him on in the background didn't help!). I did laugh at last week's ep, when the dad went off on the other son's shopping spree: "No more credit to these guys. The bank is closed!" Such a parental thing to say.

Oh, I know! I fast-forwarded through that bit. I could not even watch.

Yeah, it was funny. They were all, "But we needed this stuff! Lookit!"

I thoroughly enjoyed one of the AI bootees, and was strangely saddened by the other. But really, I think the right two went home. I can't remember the last time I've liked a Top 4 this much. In fact, this may be my favorite Top 4 ever. Weird when you think that this Top 12 was perhaps the worst ever. Well done, America.

Although, Sanjaya on the tour? Really?

Top Model: I can't believe NO ONE would have booked what's her name. And how have they gone this far in the competition and none of the judges know she can't walk??

Jesse, it looked like she was doing really badly with the walking ... but I don't remember her being that bad before. Possibly she was just having a general melt-down and couldn't get herself together.

Well, now I'm trying to remember what runway they've done at all -- they had that costume-y show way at the beginning, right? And then is that it?

Shear Genius: Not a surprising ep, really. Other than that I liked Dr. Boogie's red carpet hair. I thought he was one of the few that really did look at the cut of the dress and try to work with it. I felt like a few of them were just really generic updos. But then, I am not an updo sort of girl, so possibly I shouldn't talk.

Less impressed with the day-to-night stuff. But then again, my idea of day-to-night is something I can pat down conservatively to wear to work and then spike out for concerts. Except, ha, I can now wear punk hair all the time if I want. Except during summer, with the fundraising and the parents.

Jesse, the second show, I think was the high-school runway thing, with three styles of prom dresses ... which Brittany won. So ... maybe her balance is out of whack from being south of the equator (I think I've been watching Lost too much).

Yeah, that's the one I was remembering -- but I did NOT remember Brittany won. Huh.

I think Brittany just doesn't think beyond the moment about what she needs to do (e.g., runway walk practice). She got to rely on taking great pictures, and she wasn't ever told to stand in front a mirror and practice looking fierce, so I suspect she went back to the house and didn't think about what she might have to do next.
