"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm thrilled. Stephanie got so much shit for winning and of course it is clear to all that she absolutely deserved it.

ANTM - Tyra's really pushing it trying to come up with new and exciting ways to put the girls to the test. And she's getting mean(er).

You know what I miss? Make me a supermodel, that's what.

Because books.
Me too, Perkins. It's been a long time since I could watch ANTM without cringing, and I liked having boys and girls on Make Me a Supermodel.

Aw yeah.
I failed to give up ANTM. I'm watching it right now!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I enjoyed Raja's "smize 'till you bleed" takeoff on Tyra on this week's Drag Race. And I've been very content with the eliminations so far. Also excited that Stacey's still in it - even though I'm from NC and have never heard of Back Swamp.

I'm still hoping to get to Bayless's Xoco,
I went there the last time I was in Chicago (and ran into Brenda, hilariously), and it was fabulous. I recommend the pork belly vermicelli.
Mike Isabella is a flaming ass. He should have at least offered to split the money with Richard or given him a nice gift. I almost would have liked him better if he had refused to acknowledge that it was Richard's dish, rather than say it was Richard's idea, but he executed it.

ANTM: however, NOTHING has ever been as cringe-inducing as when Tyra decided the models would be weird ethnic mixes - i.e., Native American and Indian (from India), which had a girl in a sari and warbonnet.
