We just got spoiled right before the end, too, Vortex. Fail.

I'm finding it really annoying that every episode has different rules and challenge structures. But the chefs are still entertaining.

I loved Jodi and Susur, too.

I can see that they're trying to change it up and keep it interesting, but it's just feeling unfair and arbitrary. Fail.

Is Marcus Samuelson on TCM this season?

ANTM, poop!

Yeah, ANTM I was less than enthused by. I couldn't tell if it was true, the photo shoot bit, or just an edit, on who did well, but if true...Well, I guess really, I want to see Raina, Angelea, and Krista duke it out with more photos and such--I'm not seeing Jessica and Alexandra get anywhere, but Alasia, much as she could annoy, did occasionally manage to have good pictures. But she also had some dreckitude, so I'm not too broken up to lose her.

AI: I wouldn't have cared if any of the B3 had gone tonight. Seeing Siobahn go home before Big Mike and Casey, however, was oddly satisfying. She disappointed me so much. That said, I can hardly believe that 1) Mamasox is the last woman standing and 2) High School Student Aaron Kelly made top 5. What the hell.

ANTM: I haven't seen it yet, but seeing as how it seems Alasia went home, I think I'm done for the season. ALT, I am ashamed of you. How could he let it go down like that? I'm not saying she should've won, even though she was totes my favorite, but to not outlast Alexandra and Jessica? Criminal! I see Tyra and Co. are still on that monkey crack, and now they've gotten ALT hooked.

Is Marcus Samuelson on TCM this season?

Yes, and he's kind of an ass.

ANTM: I was sorry to see Alasia go. But I think her problems with time may have been part of the reason. Jessica, however, is boring to look at and annoying ... although she's gotten less so after getting a slapdown.

And I'd really hoped ALT would bring a little sanity to the show but he seems to have been overwhelmed by the mass of craziness. And he seemed to really like Alasia.

See, I hoped he'd bring New! Fun! Craziness. Of a different brand than Tyra...;)

Personally I've hit that point I usually get to in the middle where I'm just irked that people who I'm not interested in aren't cut already. I'm all "We KNOW she's not going to be the Next Top Model! There's no way she'll win! CUT HER ALREADY! Cut like, four bitches at once! Screw it!" I get impatient. At the beginning you don't know who'll do well, or what's a fluke. But by the middle...

Well that is disappointing. I had heard such nice things.

Cut like, four bitches at once! Screw it!" I get impatient.

This is me with Idol right now. Like, just get down to Casey and Lee and Mamasox and let them sing off, for god's sake.
