I was severly underwhelmed by the ANTM make over episode. Nobody even cried all that much. Also, Tyra tried to re-brand the Louise Brooks bob as a Dutch Boy, but I'm not buying. Still, that was one of her best make overs ever.

The models continue to be dull and uninteresting. But ALT wore a scrub brush on his head, so there was that.

I know! I kept expecting at least one of them to lose it, but no...even that bad weave didn't get a tear, just a little anger. They all seem so blah this cycle. ALT's hat has got to go, it's distracting to see it bobbing away when he's talking. What was up with Miss Jay's hair when they got to the salon!?

Oh, we cannot speak on Miss Jay's hair. That was a travesty.

These girls are all dull as dishwater. Even the one girl that they are trying to play up as the bitch of the house is only mostly kind of annoying.

The only thing I'm looking forward to at this point is the clue stick being applied to Alexandria by Mr. Jay or Nigel. If that doesn't happen, I may find another use of my time at 8 on Wednesdays. Although Sara pulling out the LotR ref last night made the episode for me.

Well, there wasn't much that was very radical. Not that I think they should be shaving off tooth enamel, but did anyone even change hair color besides the eliminated girl?

Two of the girls didn't get anything other than a wash and set! Really, Tyra? Really?

And yes, Sara's LoTR reference was by far the high point of the night.

Yeah most of them got extensions and stayed pretty close to their own hair color. Tyra seems obsessed this cycle with long, flowy hair...boring!

I loved the Louise Brooks cut, and once the girl lived with it a little she rocked it. But the rest ... usually there are tears and drama and girls being threatened with being voted off the ... oops! wrong reference ... kicked out of the competition if they didn't appreciate Tyra's "vision" for them (I wonder what produces those visions ... I'd like some). But since they weren't shaving anyone's head, or giving them anything too extreme (although I bet some of the girls with long extensions are going to realize what a pain they are), I guess we'll have to hope for some other flavor of drama.

Yeah--most of the extensions are fine, whatever, long flowy hair, yippee...but then after a few weeks in the competition when they're growing out and looking ratty? Yeahhhh.

I agree I liked the Louise Brooks cut (I thought a Dutch Boy was shorter, almost bowl-cut. Or a guy who hangs out with dykes)

heh ... my mother used to refer to those cuts as Buster Brown styles. We have a picture of her, age five or so, with one.

And at one point I had long hair (real). It was hip length. That's a LOT of hair - it tangles, it gets caught in things, takes forever to dry. They'll learn.
