I am excited about the guest judge! My coworker thinks I'm a crackhead.
You know what starts next week? ANTM Cycle Freaking 10. Party at my house, bitches!
Did you notice on the clip show how they had a surprising (to me) number of clips from Cycle 1, but Adrianne's face never appeared on camera, and no one said her name, as far as I could tell?

Yeah. What is the deal with that anyway? I never saw Cycle 1.
After the fact, Adrianne has said that she never got the promised contract, prizes, whatever, so had a huge falling out with Tyra. She never appears when they show the winners.
I definitely recommend checking out Cycle 1 -- it's got some good times.
What Tim said about Christian:
Christian wins! His look was inspired by a dramatic 17th Century Spanish portrait by Bartolome Esteban Murillo. Christian brilliantly translated the militaristic costume in the portrait into womenswear. Was the outcome a little costume-y? Well, yes, in a way, but it was also dramatic and editorial. And most important from a design standpoint were the silhouette and proportions, which were sublime. His slim, dark jodhpurs offered the perfect counterpoint to the voluminous, billowing shirt in white organza. Over the shirt was a high-collared shrunken vest, and the look was topped with a fedora. Lisa looked ready for a stroll with her petit chien along the Avenue Foch. And Christian, you’re ready for an emblazoned tiara! Bryant Park, here you come!
I do tend to love Christian's looks, but there's a fine line between "doing the same thing over and over again" and "having a design point of view" and I'm not sure he's on the right side of it. Are his skinny pants & puffy sleeves really all that different than Rami's incessant drapery?

good point, I think. But, he tends to do something different with the rest of the look. I am tired of that shrunken jacket/vest thing that's so popular.
The other problem I have with Christian is that's what he keeps doing is what's popular now. Shouldn't the Next Great Designer be making what's going to be popular next year? (Not that I think any of them are necessarily doing that.)
Jessica, sing it sister.

I totally agree. I don't like Rami, but the grief they give him needs to be spread around.
SO excited about ANTM! Though I'm really hoping it's better than last cycle, which was just lame.
I definitely recommend checking out Cycle 1 -- it's got some good times.
Cycle one is SO my favorite--with Elyse, and Adrienne, and Camille?? AWESOMECAKES. Though Cycle 2 with Shandi and Yoanna was good too.
The last cycle of ANTM was the worst ever IMHO. I didn't even make it all the way to the end. But S1 really is a thing of beauty! Elyse is an expert shit talker.
Are any of y'all watching America's Best Dance Crew? Because it was really one of the best things I've ever seen.
