'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Taiwan! Stunt drivers with some really hairy stunts, too, and the reaction of the participants! Walking on sharp stones and what it said about the personality (or pain threshold) of each contestant -- I laughed and laughed at Ron forging ahead by sheer force of will, like he does EVERYTHING.

(Talk about STEPPING UP TO A CHALLENGE. Hee.)

And then an elimination SO STRONGLY DESERVED that I was cheering, too.

How strange to go into the season finale and find reasons both good and emotional to cheer for all three teams?

Project Runway: Did Victorya copy a dress that season 3 designer Michael Knight made for "My Super Sweet Sixteen"?

I was totally cackling at Jen getting eliminated on her birthday OH NOES!!!!11! Just me?

ETA: Whoa. Those dresses are way too close for comfort. Ouch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it speaks as much to the point I read on Project Rungay (?) about Victorya's dress being right on the current trend.

The other thing I really note is how much Victorya hates boobs! She's always binding them down. Yuck.

Though Jillian had some sort of weird nipple-clamping effect on her dress this time that was even worse.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jillian is hopeless about fitting tops - her bodices always look weirdly detached from her models.

I loved watching last night's TAR! Biggest laugh was seeing Nick and Don get sick of listening to Jennifer bitch and decide to sit next to TK and Rachel instead.

That was awesome!!!

man, she was irritating. But! She kind of reminded me (physically) of a rollergirl I know and now I REALLY REALLY want to see a rollergirl team in an upcoming season. I'm going to try to get a few of my faves here to apply.

bwah! I was just invited to an event where there will be an appearance by newest ANTM Saleisha. Unfortunately I'll be out of town. blast.

Speaking of Saleisha, have we talked here about the Make Me A Supermodel show? So far, I like it -- I like that they have the creepy agency guy there saying that if you have any visible flesh (and you're a woman), you need to lose weight. Not that it's right, but at least it's honest.

Anyway, it cracked me up how much shit they gave the woman with the short bob with bangs, about how limiting a look it is.
