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.
Yeah, I quit watching Idol. It gets boring when there are only a few good people.
I quit Idol too. I kind of just wanted them all to go home, except Crystal, and I don't connect with her much so I wasn't invested. Plus, it's baseball season now.
I can't quit Idol because it's been my #1 comfort TV since S1. I mean, it was just me and Nikki McKibbin and a world of hate. My first moment of "How DARE you?" was when she stayed instead of Tamyra. Good times. But if I could, I would've so quit AI this seaon. The loss of Paula combined with Simon being almost completely checked out and already counting his X Factor money plus Ellen turning out to be just as disappointing as I'd feared on the panel plus just general suck ass or competent but uninspiring "talent" plus Ryan forgetting how to be a charming and effecient male version of Cat Deeley plus Judge #4's continued existence on this planet, gah! It's just too much. But I will soldier on until the bitter end of this season at least. Seriously, I don't know if I'll be able to take next season with no Paula and no Simon AND continued uselessness from the Dawg and Judge #4 still breathing unless they get a massive infusion of breathtakingly, mindblowingly good contestants - like Kelly and Adam and Melinda Doolittle level good.
I loved Tamyra. But she married that guy from Color Me Badd, the ickiest-looking one.
