Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I don't like Melanie.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I don't like her either, she is soooo young and seems so affected.

I love Nicholas David.

Thrive to spite them

meara the whole situation with Victoria was painful. I felt so bad for her and at the same time wondering how sheltered her mother had kept her.

I keep wondering if she had that hard of a time relating to the other girls or if there was a lot of editing.

ANTM: So glad Kristen is gone. Such mean girl behavior. And I don't think she ever had a picture I liked.

I'm sure Victoria was horribly annoying, but all the faux concern was ridiculous. I was glad she called the others out on their bullying.

This season had been a train wreck, but I've liked the photo shoots more than I usually do.

I keep wondering how much she actually was crying and kept saying she missed her mom. If she was only like that occasionally and it was played up for storyline then the faux concern is really annoying. But if it was more of the time I can see why people would be pushing for to leave because of the stress.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am catching up on last night's The Voice, and I feel bad for Amanda. She definitely had an off night, but I really hope people vote for anyway, just because she's been so awesome before.

Victoria annoyed the crap out of me, but mostly I wanted her to be forced to be away from her family and de-indoctrinated from the cray-cray.

Kristen was also awful. I mean, jeez. I can only hope that someday she looks back and is like "OMG, I am so embarassed at how I acted"

Though reality shows at least address the issue I often have in fiction with villains--in scripted shows and books and things, so often there's someone being extremely mean and awful and no one looks at them and says "OMG, what the hell kind of question is that? Why are you being such a cunt?" (though I was surprised with a recent episode of Glee, where basically that was said). But in reality tv it totally goes there (and then drama ensues, but)

I know I didn't vote so I shouldn't complain, BUT: I would totally have gotten rid of Melanie and Sylvia on the Voice, in favor of the two who got cut.
