Punishingly Intricate

Cheerier thought: Cycle 8 of ANTM starts tonight. Oh, what goodies Tyra will brink this season! Asperger's Syndrome? Bring it, bitches. I can't wait to see what Ms. Jay does with that one.

AM SO EXCITED!!!

Now, is the whole season set on a cruise ship or just tonight's episode?

I don't know. Maybe they will just cruise around all season docking at exotic ports o' call for the challenges and photo shoots. That would be fun. I wanna see somebody's weave get snatched off and thrown overboard!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

the ship is just for the winnowing process. Once the 13 are chosen they will move into a house, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, thank goodness there's some discussion of whether Sarah is plus size or not. Because seriously.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Anyone else catch Kid Nation?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Seriously, seriously. If she's plus size, then I'm a monkey's uncle. She could not be more than a size 8/10. There's no way she's plus size.

I'm underwhelmed by this crop. Ebony's schtick was tired three Cycles ago, and you're never gonna out-bitchcrazy rubbing your dirty drawers all over somebody's bed, so what are you left with? So many obviously cast for the drama - Heather (Asperger's girl), Lisa (I'm in love w/a stripper girl). I did enjoy the red head (short hair - not purple bangs) and I liked they Yalie, although agreed with Ms. Jay that she is a little horsey.

I saw about five mintues of it, aurelia, and turned it off. Based on that thorough analysis, it looked like alternating spells of deadly dull and deeply disturbing. Turns out it's quite a different experience when it's not someone's inner twelve-year-old on display for the world to see.

She's more like a 4/6, don't you think? I mean, she was THIN. I figure "normal" models are like 0/2, "plus" models are maybe 6-10.

I think she probably could be a 6/8, not a 4. I mean she's obviously not model thin because what 5'10" normal woman wears a size 0? I mean, I wear a size 0, but I'm 5'4". Hmmph. I remember when Tyra had real plus size model types, even last cycle Whitney was a solid size 10. Isn't plus size supposed to be 10-14?

I dunno, really...

In related Top Chef news, when Colicchio started describing how each of the final two had opposite faults, I was just waiting for him to break out, "Who goes home?" like Tyra would. But no.

Also, I'm excited for my boyfriend Eric Ripert in Aspen!!
