So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Merle thinks that Tyra is "incredibly intelligent"? I have lost all respect for her.

I think Tyra made some smart choices on the runway and that's what the judges saw.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

That's true. They're not watching the backstage drama, at least not until the show airs. And Tyra's displayed a sort of ... well, let's just call it cunning, and be kind.

Sigh. I'd have been happy with two-thirds of the possible outcomes, and I got the other third. Still, a highly entertaining finale, nonetheless.

tyra was definitely the prettiest, and she killed the lip synch at the end (and did anyone else notice Raven pick up her skirt and move it back so that Tyra wouldn't be center stage). I just think that she isn't someone that I'd want to see perform or host a show, she has no personality.

How pathetic is it that these posts made me worry I somehow missed this week's ANTM?

Vortex, you hit it. Raven would be much more of a draw than Tyra. Yes, she is pretty and she can work the runway, but she doesn't know how to (or they sure didn't show it) interact with others and be entertaining.

megan is me. And even worse, I was all set to leap to Fivehead's defense and assert how intelligently she has spun a career as a covergirl and mediocre actress into a mini-media empire. Tyra Sanchez has nothing on the real Tyra, that's for sure.

Yes! And I think Raven (and Jujube) will still do fine even though they didn't win the title. You all know you don't have to wear the crown to be the queen!

That's totally true. I would go see Jujubee in a heartbeat at a club or a pride parade. Tyra, not so much (and not just because I didn't like her personally, she's just not interesting.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Dear me. Did you hear me yell that at the tv last night?

Raven would be much more of a draw than Tyra. Yes, she is pretty and she can work the runway, but she doesn't know how to (or they sure didn't show it) interact with others and be entertaining.

A world of this. Tyra is pretty but has the personality of oatmeal. With sharp, bitchy razors pointed at her competitors.

would go see Jujubee in a heartbeat at a club or a pride parade.

Hell yes. I adore Jujubee. And really like Raven, too. I still have a very fond spot for Pandora.
