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.

Alexandrea leaving was bullshit.

I completely agree. I am not happy.

OMGWTFPRJUDGES?

Rami's collection was fine. I mean, except for the fugly coat. The dress they were all gaga over...whatever. It was fine. It looked nice. It fit well. The big black one was better, except once they pointed out the weirdo hip thingies, I couldn't look at anything else.

Chris' collection had me going "OOH! WANT!" over Every. Single. Piece. No, it didn't have mainstream commercial appeal. But it had SO MUCH AWESOMENESS. And correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't runway collections *supposed* to be freaky and unwearable? They're supposed to show off design concepts, not someone's closet.

DH and I think that NBC/Universal should launch a goth PR next season on SciFi, and that Jilli should be their Tim.

Survivor - It's interesting to see a tribe so committed to taking out threats early in the game that they completely throw out the concept of keeping the tribe strong through the merge. They're certainly riding that fine line between clever and stupid.

I mean, except for the fugly coat.

And then I read somewhere that he didn't show the coat in Bryant Park. A possible unthought-of advantage?

What Jessica Said, times a billion, except that I wasn't clever enough to think of the Jilli PR show, which would be made of awesome nine ways from Sunday.

I'm weirdly obsessed with the whole Chris/Rami competition, and I've been hovering over Project Rungay; it's bizarre how completely polarizing their designs are. It's not just that people preferred one collection over the other, but that most of the Chris-preferrers thought Rami's work was nice but not thrilling, while people who preferred Rami hated Chris's stuff with a passion. Dark, creepy, depressing, revolting, ugly, something no sane woman would wear, and anyone who says otherwise is clearly part of the Cult of Chris and in denial about the UGLY.

And several people shrugged dismissively about goth being a bad look, period, the end. Um, which goth do they mean? Industrial/post-apocalyptic? Vampire? Victorian? Steampunk? Edwardian/Edward Gorey/cupcake? "Goth looks bad" is an idiotically sweeping generalization, to be taken about as seriously as saying "Fiction is a lousy literary form."

And don't get me started about how Christian's gorgeous but unwearable-in-the-real-world designs are edgy and creative, Rami's third gown is a fantasy, but Chris's collection is pure costume.

Grrr.

SRSLY

Also: Rami's middle dress looked like crap with the jacket over, and wasn't flattering with the jacket off!

BANANAS.
