I did thing Ronnie was fantastic. I liked stiff little Ben, too, and was sad to see him in the bottom three. He's a married, good ole boy, prison guard in gold lame pants with a gay man crush, for heaven's sake! I think he's doing fabulous to be such a fish out of water. I would've left Jay in the bottom three instead. He's sweet as candy, but he will never be a supermodel.

Yesyesyes! Poor Ben is going to really suffer when he goes back to work at the prison, isn't he? And Jay should definitely have been left on that runway for the bottom three--I couldn't see what it was about his walk that saved his ass, but he's not cut out for the big time. I personally think it's going to be either Dominick, because of his asshole tendencies, or the girl whose name I can't remember now who'll be gone, even though she got a nice look with the new red hair.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Although I don't think her talent is at the top of the ranks, she deserves to be treated better than that.

And her RTW interpretation of the Rami Special was pretty dang competent.

I rewatched all the runway shows last night (except the Tiki episode, which seems to be missing from my Tivo). I have to say, I didn't see anything from anyone that was eliminated (except the returned Chris) that made me go "ooh, that person should still be there."

So, except for the fact that I would switch out Ricky for Kevin in a heartbeat, I'm happy with who is left.

I loved CCs dress, although I think VJs outfit matched the hairstyle better. Rami has becoming boring, and he was an ass. Loved Kit's original concept, but the result was rather disappointing. Too bad Ricky wasn't team leader.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I just caught up on Supermodel, and hee! Ronnie's crush is the cutest thing ever. And he is seriously working that new haircut. He looked awesome. That's a really versatile cut, too, he'll be able to do old Hollywood glam and modern and funky and casual with it. He just looks great.

I am so bummed they cut Holly's hair. I love a good pixie cut, but she had so much more going for her with the bob.

The measurements thing was seriously disturbing, not the least because we only got the detailed information and the scolding about the women. And the shock at the fluctuation, "Is that possible?" Um, hello, women's bodies fluctuate! Taking measurements that often is going to be completely meaningless, but the women are going to stress about it anyway.

I hope Ben stays in. I know he's uncomfortable, but he's got a great look. I wish they hadn't put him in a ballcap for the catwalk. That left some weird interpretation to the rest of the outfit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, Ronnie+Ben=adorable!!

It cracks me up that everyone always has a comment about Frankie's Farrah Fawcet hair, but post-makeover, it looks exactly the same!

Also, those women have hips the size of my waist. Yikes.

Ronnie&Ben4evah! And when Ronnie blushes? That's the cutest thing in the world, right?

And Ben's all, "That's good, right? I dunno."

I was so sure they were going to lop off Frankie's hair. I think it would have looked better if they had. But they want him to be able to swing his haid.

Yeah, I kind of love Ben, too. I don't get the impression he's spent a lot of time hanging out with the gays and wearing makeup, but he's totally game.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That's what I adore about him. You know it's not in his comfort zone, but he hasn't said word one about it. And they've asked a lot of him. But he just rolls with it, and you know he's getting ribbed about Ronnie, but he's just cute about it.
