I guess i'm confused about wild card too. they're singing tonight, right? then what? we find out who makes up the final 12(there are many copies)? the same night? or are they carrying that over until next week? why exactly don't we get to pick them? i call bullshit and i'm not happy about this year's talent. i really don't know if i'm going to make it through this season. i might trade it for Dancing with the Stars as my currently airing reality show. at least then i get to see some SYTYCD alumni.

Anyone watch Make Me a Supermodel? It's all different! But I love having Jenny Shimizu as a judge. Her comment about Ken's ass was priceless. And Cory's, "I have the body of a Teletubby!"

I like the fact that they've cut the audience out of the decision-making process. I was getting fed up with the weakest models progressing simply because they were "fan favorites."

Although I am rooting for Colin, the amateur, to get a bit further down the road. He's got such a great geek look! One of the female models nailed it when she called it his "Clark Kent look."

Ken definitely deserved to go--it was like he didn't give a damn and wasn't willing to get his body to the point it should be at that level of modeling. I was surprised to hear that Colin's chest was smaller than Chris's!

The guys are more distinct than the girls at this point. I'm waiting for a few weeks to be able to tell the women apart.

The only ones who stand out for me are Salome and Jordan, but that could be because they got the most camera time last night. Although there do seem to be a few interchangeable blondes in there.

Am I the only one who thought maybe he was protesting a wee bit too much?

Think she's headed for a redemption arc, maybe?

Thrive to spite them

I'm not sure how it was done in the past, but the judges will pick the wild cards. I like the idea behind it -- the judges can pick someone who was good and got cut for whatever reason. I think they are signing and will get picked by the judges tonight.

I'm okay with some choices like Jasmine and Anoop. Jasmine can sing and she's exactly what AI is looking for she's easy to package and sell (and if she doesn't want to be Rhianna then she's kinda out of luck if she wins, at least until contracts expire).

The inclusion of Tatiana is just -- ratings I guess. And I was surprised they picked the first guy that sang Tuesday night.

I don't get either of these. But, then again, I started watching with the 36 so they may have done something great during Hollywood Week that I'm not aware of. But I would have picked Delilah guy over Von.

I don't particularly care for Jasmine, myself. But, hey, I trust the judges to know what's good for AI. ;P
