I'm so glad Chris got to show anyway! I think he should have shown the blue face, the red one-shoulder and the saftey pin dress. Every goth or would-be goth girl in the country will want a Chris March dress! I know I do!

I'm stunned that Amanda's still there. Seriously.

And I'm definitely going to hell. Alaina's shocked gasp of realization that if Kady was safe that meant she was going home? Struck me as funny.

PR: I know! I am so traumatized by losing Chris. I think his collection was gorgeous. I loved the human hair thing and was so relieved that Tim's promo gag reflex was from the weirdness and not from the garment itself.

It was bizarre about Christian. He was all, "bye!" and I was all, wait, what? Seriously, he wasn't even going to take him on a walk down his favorite sidewalk or something?

I loved Chris' friends. I would totally hang out with them. That apartment was crazy!

Anyway, I'm bummed. Now I kinda don't care who wins.

ANTM: Hated the photoshoot. Hated it. Also, I'm only just starting to watch now, though I've followed your commentary over the years. And my basic observation? Is that there is a lot more screaming than I was prepared for. Particularly compared to MMaSM.

Now you see why MMaSM practically seems like a behind-the-scenes documentary in comparison.

Totally. Why is ANTM like that? Is the age of the models? Or is it just Tyra?

Mostly Tyra, also the fact that I think all of these shows get more exaggerated as they go on, because the people trying out self-select and they get schticky and etc. Like the people on this year's Big Brother were having enormous drama within days of meeting each other, because that's what Big Brother is about. And ANTM makes the girls scream all the time, so they cast more screamers.

Also, on MMaSM, I had just been wondering if they really do kick the people off Friday morning, and they sure do -- that's when it snowed here.

They would have to do that ASAP, because any of their group footage would be unusable. I always wonder when the runway is, though, and what they do film during the interim.

Oh, and! Whoever wrote this description that appeared on my cable guide is a devil: "The models are tested on a photo shoot that involves speed and snow."

While I agree that the ANTM girls nowadays are spoiling for the fight and the Diva edit from Day 1, Tyra's lovely show was a drama-fest even in S1 (Oh, Robin. Come back and buy $200 boots, call on Jesus, and waggle your tatas in Mr. Jay's face!)

I can't even comment on the girl's eliminations on Idol. Alaina . . . whatever. Any of the three interchangeable blonds would've been fine with me. But Alexandrea leaving was bullshit. Kady almost fell down the stairs while butchering Magic Man in a bedazzled dashiki and leggings and she stays? Once again, Kristy Lee fights a losing battle with the booty dancer inside and sings the most boring version of You're No Good ever and is safe? And I do like Amanda, but WTF on the performance. She sounded horrible and the look? Why the skunk stripes? And was she wearing flame embossed chaps? Just, no. And she really looked like she didn't even want to be there. There were many, many girls last night (including Asia "Simon was right. This song is way too big for me" Epperson) who needed to go home before Alexandrea.

I have no complaints about the boys eliminations. Other than the Davids and Danny, they all can go home anytime now.
