Ronnie definitely rocked that photo--he lost all that preppy look beneath the Earth motif. But, I don't think he has a chance in hell to win, and if he does, he shouldn't have. Like the judges said, he'll be making money hand over fist in the fields his face works best in. Same with Ben--that intense look of his will definitely work in certain areas.

It'll be down to either Holly or Perry, and I think, seeing the bias the voters have for the guys, it'll be Perry winning. Holly will do well if she doesn't win; like that judge said, she'll be on every agency's to-call list as soon as the show's done. As much of an ass as Perry is, he has the most talent for acting and expression, which is, from what I've seen just from watching this show and sensing from the various comments, what is really needed in the field of modeling to become a superstar.

Michael Ruhlman reviews Stephen Asprinio's restaurant.

MMaSM: I agree. Ronnie is now definitely the weakest in this lot. And Shannon was a better model. But that aside, he pulled out a great photo in the earth shot. It was gorgeous. Holly's picture was also amazing. I was too distracted by the tuck job to have any real opinion about Perry's shot.

But damn, peoples, Ben's photos were freaking hot. Can't believe the goofy-smile, head-bonking, can't-walk guy pulled out that photo. Blazing.

I think Holly & Perry will probably end up tops, and I agree that probably Perry will win. So cute how starstruck he was when Naomi Campbell turned up.

Although as far as the gender bias goes, I think we said way at the beginning that the men's field was far stronger than the women's field. I think that Shannon fell to the Ben/Ronnie shippers, rather than just a gender bias.

I think they all deserve jobs! Perry's final photo was just so much weirder than the other ones that it was hard to compare them, I felt. Ben's were indeed freakin' hot.

Yeah, that was a real step up for him.

Sad for Shannon, but her loss is not that big-- she can still easily get jobs without the stigma of being as famous.

I did like the comments by the panel about booking models. It would never have occurred to me that Perry's shoulders make him not good for a fragrance shoot.

As far as the weight issue-- yeah, Ronnie and Holly looked a little puffy, and Holly's tiny back chub (I can't think of a name for it) would have made it unlikely she would be cast in a real runway show. But why does M. Rolston care? Couture casting, I can see being strict about body types and sizes. But why do photographers have to buy into that? To me, that was troubling.

And either one of them could tighten up without too much effort, I'd think, if it were a barrier to real jobs. I had already been thinking Holly's face looked puffy earlier in the episode, so maybe it was even just a hormonal thing or something else random. Too much salt that weekend, or whatever.

That was interesting.

YES! That was infuriating me in the shower this morning where I was going over the past night's events (me watching MMaSM, that is).

Finally caught up on TC and THANK GOD BELLINI WOMAN IS GONE.

Dear Not!RachelDratch,

Are you serving the fennel marscapone rutabega atrocity atop a champagne/peach nectar cocktail? ARE YOU????

I'll take the judges word for it that it tasted bad too. Her pronounciation was getting on my last nerve.

Twitchy Guy Whose Name I Can't Remember is getting pretty annoying too, but at least his food looks good.

Ah, back amongst my people. So much reality tv talk missed. Frickin' frakkin' conference.

I don't even know where to start. Hmmm . . . AI result was pure baloney and ridiculous. I guess that the country folks have nowhere else to turn but Kristy Lee. At least she has the good grace to look embarassed about it. I am still loving Brooke, Jason, and yes, David A. (though I'm now more sure than ever that the curse of all 17 year old AI boys is going to catch up with him and he'll not win) Super excited about most of the mentors this season. Dolly! Neil! Sir Andrew "I MADE over the top" Lloyd Webber! Although I foresee an absolute trainwreck when Mariah week rolls around.

MMaSM: I really want a Holly win, but I think it highly unlikely. Since this is audience vote, I think it's well within the realm of possibility that Ronnie could win, but I don't think he should win. Among the guys left, I'd actually go with Ben (shock!) as I do think that with a little coaching and the development of another look besides Blue Steel, he could be the most versatile one there. Perry's just too stocky/square Frankenstein. (And I'm still freaked out by the Silence of the Lambs photo shoot) And best guests ever in Naomi and Christian. Oh what I would've given if they'd put those two together to do . . . well, just about anything.

ATNM: Soo much better than the Tootie season. I am loving Claire and hope she can take it all.

TC: Still love the Kiwi. Those mushrooms looked foul. I thought the blini's looked like those angel food cups you put strawberries and Cool Whip in to make the fake strawberry shortcake.

And I love America's Best Dance Crew! It's like watching Step Up 2 the Streets every week (which prominently featured Jabbawookeez, btw). I have also loved this season of Making the Band solely because it presented a weekly opportunity for Diddy to lose his damn mind. And it was hilarious. It could only have been better if Boomkat had come back.

Is that it? Am I done?

I don't know why she insisted on serving them. Yes, the judges asked about them, but they could have said that they did not turn out well, so they decided not to serve them. And to add the cheese and not taste it was just stupid.
