"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I already don't watch the show, so let me affirm my choice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Caught up on Survivor last night - go Cirie! Way to scheme!

Ozzy's farewell speech was my second favorite ever "To the person in my alliance who switched, I pretty much hate you." BWAH!

(My favorite one, for those who are counting, is Hunter's "And when you all DIE of starvation without me" speech from whichever season that was.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think that was season 4, Jessica. That was back when I was watching Survivor.

Yeah, it was one of the early ones. Good times!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Catching up on ANTM (after a loooong absence):

I was sorry to see Claire go; I liked her!

I don't think Lauren's going to last much longer - the attitude and poor personality aren't going to make up for the terrific photos.

Dominique can leave anytime - I am SO over the eyebrow thing!

Fatima - eh. She photographs beautifully, but she was playing mind games early on, which put me off her. And the whole losing her travel documents thing - she's been trying to project herself as the classy, responsible one!

Whitney - I love that she's lasted this long. But you know, she's the "plus size" girl this season ... she wears a size 10 (boggles).

Anya - the accent is annoying, but she's doing a really good job. And she's been NICE - it's almost as though because she hasn't been a bitch, hasn't been in cat fights, the other girls aren't noticing that she's doing well. I think she may end up winning ... but they often do switches, where someone does really well right until the last few episodes and then someone comes up from behind and wins. So ... we'll see.

Thrive to spite them

I want Anya to win. I'm actually getting fond of her surfer rat speak. And I like her because she does well and is really nice. I want to like Whitney but the edit they are giving her is annoying,.

Random Pussycat Dolls sighting. I was working out with my trainer on Saturday and there was a dance class underway in the studio. What was weird was that there were at least a dozen people watching the class from outside the studio. It wasn't until the class broke that I realized why. Robin Antin was taking the class with two other women. I don't think they were Dolls but maybe other dancers of Robin's. Apparently, they take this class all the time.

That makes for my third Reality Celeb sighting at the gym. At least this one was kinda cool.

OMG, a dance class at a gym that pussycat dolls go to? I'm not sure if I"d be mad into that (in a "sweet, a gym class with good dancing!") or frightened off (in a "eek, scary botoxed Robin and people who can actually dance, kicking my ass!")

I'm in the Denver airport, testing out my new verizon broadband access card. Exxxxxxxcellent. This is going to make airports WAY more fun.

I'm wondering about Katarzyna(sp?). They're doing that typical "We don't KNOW you" storyline on her, which sometimes can be overcome to win...


Kristen - Apr 21, 2008 3:07:26 pm PDT #4539 of 23273

I am in the frightened off place. I can't handle the pressure of dancing in front of Robin Antin!

I'm wondering about Katarzyna(sp?). They're doing that typical "We don't KNOW you" storyline on her, which sometimes can be overcome to win...

I think they should start getting to know her by learning how to pronounce her name correctly. Or, if they insist on incorrectly, at least they should all mangle it the same way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least this one was kinda cool.

I want to know what reality stars you've seen who are less cool than Robin Antin!
