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?

Also, I know Ann is tall, but so is Rhianna (she's only 1/2 inch shorter than Ann). They're not making a big deal out of Rhianna's height.

Any Top Model viewers?

Yes! It is comforting in its absurdity.

judges calling her out on being too thin and distinguishing between naturally thin (Ann) and sickly thin

I was surprised to see how thin Anamaria was during the photo shoot, during the interview last week she didn't seem quite so bag-of-bones, but during the photo shoot this week, you sure could see how sickly thin she looks, and talked about being on a calorie restricted diet at the house too. I was glad to see some of the girls asking her if she was worried about being too thin, because man, she looks really unhealthy. She may be perfectly healthy but man, she didn't look it.

Which I'm sure got back to Tyra and that's why they confronted her about it.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

As soon as Anamaria started in on the "calorie restricted diet", I knew she was going home. Tyra took so much shit over the commercial where she and the Jays lost their minds over Ann's tiny waist that she needed to use Anamaria as an object lesson about how she, Tyra, Our Lady of Fivehead, is most definitely not about unhealthy body image. Even though this, the high fashion season, is the first season ever that she has not cast at least one plus size girl (who's never more than a size 10-12 anyway). But the fashion industry is all about health, isn't that right DVF? Eh, at least Tyra has given up the jumpsuits.

I'm all about Kendal. She's stunning and funny in her countrified way. I also like Anne and the one lesbian model (forgot her name, but she's a fantastic model). I'm glad Anamaria went home, but Terra should've gone, too. Anamaria might be a bitch, but when she noted that neither of the sisters is model pretty, she wasn't wrong.

Oh I just remembered some Top Chef related gossip. So Timothy Dean, booted early this season, has a restaurant in Bmore. He's been spotted (by my friend once and once by my Bob) driving around in a car with the license plate "Top Chef." wah wah

And he was spotted going into the drivethrough at the McDonalds around the corner from our house.

I love Kendal. And, she's from Northport! Which is adjacent to Tuscaloosa. Which is the home of The Univ. of Alabama!! Roll Tide!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Judges got it right on PR.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

In both cases, too. Sad to see Micheal leave.
