I was thinking last night about how different ANTM feels this season. For example, have there been any challenges at judging this year?
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

'Til we dance away...
I think besides the accent, Anya just kind of seems like she's from another planet. Maybe if they made her hair not quite so white? I think for me it's more than just the accent but what she's saying. Last night when she was jumping from thought to thought and having Paulina run around and throw leaves I just kept feeling like she is so odd and learned how to be an earthling from watching tv or something. Yet I still like her more than Fatima, whose bone structure is odd, her cheekbones are too big and her nose is too small and she ends up kind of looking like a skull.

Anya just seems like a young, a little flaky, girl to me. with a very odd accent.
I really wish they would dye her brows though. The albino brow thing bugs the bejeezes out of me.

Yeah, but when they gave her the dark brow for the movie star thing, she suddenly looked like 80s Madonna, which was just not right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Total Madonna. I think her own brows are starting to grow back some, which I notice looking better in the interview segments.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Top Chef: I adore that QF. That's my favorite QF evah. I love seeing the raw skill (or lack thereof) and it helps me with my cooking technique to see it discussed.
I'm glad Nikki went because she was driving me crazy. This should have been her challenge and it wasn't, and that was her own damn fault. That group was killing me, though. Although I do agree that Dale did the majority of the work. If he hadn't been too fatigued to say it when Tom visited the chefs, I think it would have played to his advantage.
Anyway, Richard! Richard totally won over both the SO & I with that. And I love that the judges honored it.

Why do we think that Dale didn't just throw Spike under the bus? Do you think that they cut it?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think he actually had restraint. I think that he hit a bending point with the fatigue but not a breaking point. That he lashed out, but there was a place he wouldn't go and he didn't.
The SO disagrees. He thinks Dale was an ass and should have been eliminated.

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