Paradise Island or Paradise Hotel? Because Paradise Drunk Asshole Hotel kind of rocked. Very Lord of the Flies, only with daquiris.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I was wondering if I'd missed hearing about some Amazons Gone Wild reality show...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Paradise Hotel! sorry ... I watched the first one and then gave up on it. There didn't seem to be any rules or any end point to it.
I did, however, have this vision of a few years in the future some station accountant looks at the accounts and sees entries for Paradise Hotel ... and it turns out the same people have been hanging around there (Lord of the Flies! with booze and sex!) getting more and more dissipated. Also possibly starting a new generation ....

On MMaS, while I think Perry is very entertaining and hunky, I looooove Ronnie. He is so sweet. (Although the Ronnie/Ben damage control - "No, we're just friends. Really. No, really really." - was a little bit much).
I thought this week's challenges were really interesting. The group photos were lovely and the art installation/runway show was weird but fascinating. And the real runway show finally had them in clothing. Was this the first time? Maybe, no? The first week was the thong incident; the second week was Heatherette (basically naked with glitter); then last week was the pony play.
And I don't know what the hell that professors and school girls party was really all about, but if Ronnie can be my human anatomy teacher, then I am all in.
Man, Tyra just gets worse and worse in comparison.

Yeah, MTV has Top Model on marathon again, at the moment, and seeing them after seeing the MMASM....yeah. Though partly it's the guys, who look so good, the MMASM girls are meh for the most part (though I do like Shannon). I have no idea what the professor/schoolgirl thing was about, but it looked like fun!!

I guess you have to make your own fun when you're not allowed to watch TV.

For the girls, I really like Shannon and Holly. And I think Aryn had a captivating look and she photographed like a dream (RIP). But even the boring girls (Katy/Jackie) are soo much better than almost anyone Tyra's ever managed to dig up. I just have to shake my head. Can you imagine Naima on this show? And she was a winner! I mean, as much as I lurve me some Danielle and Jaslene, they wouldn't have even made the first cut on this show. Maybe S1 Elyse. Maybe the twins. I really can't think of too many others.
But agreed that the pretty, pretty boys totally make this show.

SO much this.
Katie needs to go. So does Jay. And Frankie because he's annoying as hell, despite being pretty.
My money's on Perry as one of the top two, in the end, if not the winner.

Oh, the twins. They were showing that season on MTV, and I was like "Dude, screw Kim, who was hot but annoying...if I was going to meet someone from the show and hit on them, it'd be Michelle!" I loved the black and white Tyra took, with her tongue out...
(I'd also love to hang out with Elyse or Danielle or even Adrienne, but more just cause they seemed fun, not hot)
