My restaurant experience consists of eating, and I think I could run a restaurant better than these people-- they are nutcases!
Ha!
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I don't watch AI regularly, but the little bits I've seen have bothered me - it seems like a lot of the contestants take a perfectly nice song and then ... I'm not sure how to put it - they overwork it. I don't know if they're trying to put their own style on it, or if they're encouraged to do something "different" with it, or what. But the end result irks me.

Top Model finale tonight! I'm still calling it for Anya -- if only because I don't know how they get Whitney into the final fashion show.

Yeah, but Tyra REALLY wants a "plus size" model to win it.

I know, I know. But still!

But the thing is, Whitney really sucks! I mean, she's pretty, but her commercial wasn't good, and most all of her pictures they've been like "It's OK because you're pretty, but it's not GREAT"
So it would be a shame if she won just because they want a plus size girl to win.

Yeah, she's not had a real shining moment at all.
I wish we could all watch together tonight!

I'm just hoping I remember not to click on this thread after it starts on the East Coast and hasn't yet begun here on the West!

So Tyra is going to have two new reality shows next season. The untitled one with Ashton Kutcher on ABC and Stylista on the CW.
If "The Devil Wears Prada" were a reality show, it would be STYLISTA. Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine. They work as assistants to Elle's Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon. The competitors will carry out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode. Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets "promoted" to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000.
I doubt she's appearing on either but she really does want to be the next Oprah mogul, doesn't she?

I totally agree with the Fug Girls handicap: [link] Alleged spoilers in the comments. And I forgot how nice both Anya and Whitney look with the dark hair!
