Jasmine Guy was a professional dancer before she became Whitley, as I recall.

I found her death in "Dead Like Me" to be hysterical.

Oh man, Patrick Stewart is narrating an Animal Planet make-believe pseudoscience program about "what if dragons really lived?" First a passive-aggressive Chester Cheetah, now this. Why have you forsaken us, Patrick?!?

On MMaSupermodel, I can't believe that Jay is still around. He doesn't photograph well at all! It's gotta be either him or Katy gone next week, but I'm hoping that he goes.

Perry and Ronnie are the two top guys, no question. Frankie has the face and confidence, but his cockiness and pure-jerkfacedness is starting to become obvious even in his professional life. Perry totally won me over when he donned the French mustache and accent--what a natural actor, as well as fabu model! And Ronnie is just too darn cute and sweet for words.

I'm surprised by how much Jackie is getting shoved out of her top female model spot by Shannon and even Holly. Stephanie picked it up nicely this week--if she keeps it going like this, we'll have four top competitors amongst the women.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On MMaSupermodel, I can't believe that Jay is still around.

Seriously.

I think the challenges on this show have been really interesting, probably because I watch too much Top Model, and they would never do half of this stuff. The nude posing was not about "can you take off your clothes?" it was about being posed for ten minutes. I think that's cool.

How long ago was the ProjRun avant garde challenge? I mean, did Holly see it, with the "high couture" runway pose?

Also, Ronnie is such a sweetie, I was startled when he busted out his model face and was smoking hot. I forgot!

It was a few weeks ago, so if she watches PR, she would have seen it. Actually, she pulled that pose off much better than the PR model did--it was much more natural, in that model-esque way.

Perry was the only one of the guys to give good pose on the runway this week--that initial pose, with the sleeves spread out, was perfect for that outfit. I thought Ben did pretty good on the runway this week, but he should have done more Robin-Hood/Errol-Flynn-like poses, since that's what his outfit reminded me of.

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

MMaS is really really growing on me. I think a lot of shows I really enjoy the first season the best. The relationships among the models remind me a bit of Project Runway first season. As for the competition, Perry and Shannon seem the top two for me. I loved Perry with the accent and the mustache.

Did anyone see the commercial for the top Bravo moments? I had to rewind Santino's Tim Gunn robot several times. LOVE!

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

I did the same thing, bon bon.

I'm also getting to like MMaS a lot. I watched all of it this weekend, thanks to all the talk here, and thought the tasks this episode were great,

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

They've been running these promos for Paradise Island, making it sound like it was a big hit the first time around. This is the reality show with lots of purportedly good looking people lying around in the sun ... that was cancelled about four weeks in.

Paradise Island or Paradise Hotel? Because Paradise Drunk Asshole Hotel kind of rocked. Very Lord of the Flies, only with daquiris.
