The image of Gretchen, Ivy and Kevin(?) sitting on the sofa with the same defensive posture and sour grapes expression is burned into my brain. You can tell they're thinking that they're right and the judges are wrong.

I would love to see that little clique turn on itself.

Dudes, there's new Top Model this week! I don't know if I can bear it.

OMG you guys will have to try it and see if I watch. I usually cannot handle the squealing.

Also, dag, the more I look at Michael C's winning dress, the worse it looks to me. [link] TLo explain what they think the judges were going for.

From another Tom & Lorenzo: In fact, come to think of it, we've agreed with pretty much every elimination so far and disagreed with just about every win. Considering it's the former that determines finalists and not the latter, we have to say that the judges, despite their cracktasticness, are still doing their jobs effectively this season.

That actually makes me happier about the judging. I'd still like who I think should win to win, though.

Catching up on PR. Final judging still going on but...

I don't see how Michael C's is a winning look. But the way the rest of them are behaving? WTF.

Do not like Michael D's. Awful. And please please fucking stop the angsting over someone any bit out of the norm. It just makes me want to punch you in the face.

Check out the difference in the fit on the pants between Casanova and Ivy. Or IOW, STFU Ivy.

Also, Kors maybe doesn't know what a goiter is? But still funny.

ETA as judging continues:

MC's dress must have looked a lot different in person. The judges were all really effusive about it in a way they were not at all about any others, so I don't know that the general nastiness had a lot to do with it.

I'm just happy to see Ivy and Gretchen in the unmentioned middle. Hah.

I liked Mondo's well enough. But the judges are right that the hair and styling sucked the life out of it.

Is ALT still on the ANTM judges panel this season? I need more dreckitude. Also, here's hoping Tyra has gotten over the jumpsuit thing. Maybe she'll branch out to rompers this season? Or really send the Fug Girls round the bend and do a whole season of dress over pants.

I just can't get used to PR on Lifetime. I've missed it the last three weeks. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much, though.

Interesting comment from Peach on Project Rungay:

Michael Costello came onto the show, he even said this to us, because he wants his own reality show and he’s creating this character that you see. There were two sides of Michael Costello and one of them did not have the nicest language; not just curse words, subject matter too. I don’t know how to put it, but he is not the victim that they’re painting him to be.

Intriguing! I hope we get to see some of that. I don't usually care for too much personality drama, but I'm into it this season.

Peach is just too cute. I love her comments about her losing dress.
