Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

That part bothers me. They didn't do it that often last season, did they?

They did do it last season. They also made a big deal about setting them up with a personal trainer. I wonder if they'll do that this season.

And I'm sorry, I hate that they're making Salome feel like she has to lose weight. She's BEAUTIFUL and curvy and NOT FAT AT ALL.

ugh I know. But it's realistic if they want to be working models, I guess.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have nothing to add, but feel the need to affirm that I watch the models and agree with you people.

Me too!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's the problem. They are realistically portraying the fucked-up industry, so what can you say to that? Other than the industry is fucked up...

I wish they would say that. I'm really glad that at least she didn't go home over it! Man, that stinkface Gabriel has to go next!

Yeah, I adore Make Me a Supermodel, and was very glad CJ and her bad attitude went home. I do not like Amanda at all, either. And I adore Colin, he is SO CUTE. Hee.

I got in a whole loud discussion in the dyke bar at trivia over this the other week with a gayboy. :)

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

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I saw that on Countdown earlier this week--Olbermann was making a supreme effort to not cackle when they played the line from his Slap-Chop commercial, "Let me show you my nuts."

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I have to ask, did they borrow camera lenses from Elizabeth Taylor when they shot his infomercials? He looks about 20 years older in his mugshots than on TV...
