"We have trust issues." Mylar

I didn't want to watch the Bravo supermodel show, I swear, but I could not look away from the jacked-upness that is Tyson Beckford. What happened to that man? Does he have a tracheotomy scar on his neck? Did he get collagen injections in his lips? He used to be so pretty. Sigh.

Also, I was totally planning to watch that show anyway. Why are all the men so much prettier than the women? I love that cocky kid from Miami. Soooo pretty. I also like the shy guy that the public voted into the last male slot. Don't get the blonde tanorexic man at all. Don't like any of the women all that much. I guess the fierce walker was alright, and the girl with the really cute bob (love the bangs!).

On PR last night, I did love Rami's dress. I also liked Christian's. It reminded me of Michael's coffee filter dress. (And really, I just adore Christian. I can't help it. The promo for next week made me so scared. If he goes home, I will cry a little.) I give Jillian points for degree of difficulty, but I thought the skirt looked kind of unfinished (especially the waist). I actually kind of liked Elisa's dress (not the arm floaties - they were fug) and thought Victoria's was not that bad. I wanted Sweetpea to go, not because I don't like her, just because the dress was so plain. And wtf on the one silver ruffle across the stomach and the two Kiss tags hanging off the back? But really, there wasn't anything last night that I just hated. (I even liked Ricky's and I haven't liked anything else he's ever made on the show) I was so happy for Chris to get into the top three (even though I think he's not long for this world).

He still is. He looks better in person (was at a party with him recently). That up close shot is no one's friend.

I was so happy for Chris to get into the top three (even though I think he's not long for this world).

I really liked Chris' dress. I liked the way that he used the lettering to create a pattern. She could wear that dress out, and most people wouldn't notice. I think that the arm things killed Elisa. Without them, the dress would have just been boring. With them, it was boring, but was trying not to be. I did kind of love her spirit. The dress was exactly what she wanted. She loved it.

hah! I totally started watching it and then set it to tape because I couldn't look away but really needed to go to bed.

On PR, I'm glad Jillian's dress worked out but, my god, she needs points deducted for her personal style! Suspenders? really? Jean shorts and tights?

Loved Rami's dress and Kit's! And Chris' for that matter!

Oh I knew Elisa was going home when she told the hit by a car story. I can't believe they've been holding that in reserve.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Did that car accident story, you know, make sense? Not even the way she described the accident (where it was a sentence or two before it was clear that she was hit by a car). But rather that being on PR is somehow related to that? And her daughter? It was weird. But I thought Elisa would make it to F3, I really did.

Yeah, as soon as the weepy music started playing and she started talking about her 4 inch skull crack, I knew she was a goner. But I agree that without the silver floaties, she might have skated by on the dress.

I was annoyed by Zac Posen and his one thousand facial expressions that all somehow seemed to resemble a "smell the poo" face.

And I am glad to know that Tyson remains a hottie in real life, because he did not look good on the show last night.

ION, seeing Sex on the show just made me miss SYTYCD all the more. And Dance Wars looks like a painfully stupid rip-off of that show Fame from NBC a few years ago and nowhere near SYTYCD levels (and that's without even commenting on the annoying judges from DWTS - one of the main reasons why I can never watch that show).

It was! I blame her head injury!

I guess she wasn't able to do whatever she'd come to do in London (something to do with tee-shirt designs?) because of the accident? And her daughter thought going on PR would be her second chance?

I think that the point is that she had just done the tshirt line in London, so her career was getting ready to take off, and then she had this debilitating accident.
