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!"

Yes!! Loved. And soooo excited about Jenny Shimizu! :) (Made it my facebook status last night! Love her!)

Was not impressed by really any of the boys' walks though--I felt like most of them were slouchy. WTF? Stand up straight, boys! Shoulders back! And Ken, definitely--over muscled, he walked like a gunslinger, like he couldn't get his arms to his sides. WTF? And I do love Clark Kent, he's adorable, and looked like something out of an Austen novel on the runway. Also LOOOOVE Caribbean Ballet Boy. YUM. Am less thrilled by the girls.

As for ANTM...am not feeling anyone in particular yet, other than being freaked out by CrazyBugEyes and her bloody nose obsession. Get her AWAY from me. Yeesh.

Ha, I think Tatiana screwed herself out of moving on. Don't sing the same song three times, dummy!

Holy Fuck! Did that come out of left field or what??

Yeah I think it was singing the same song and talking back to the judges. I think the judges got a good look at what a competetion with her in it would be.

That was totally out of left field. They must have really liked something about him to do that.

Actually the top 3 I wasn't surprised about, but that was left field.

Because books.

I'm happy with the wild *four*, although I think Megan is really not as good as they want her to be (and as I wanted her to be, when I saw her during auditions). But man, Simon *clearly* wants her there.

And thank god Tatiana is gone. She can sing, no doubt, but it would have been the Tatiana show every week. Just tonight, she did everything possible to grab more attention, stay on stage longer. And good on Paula for calling her out on her sudden accent. Where the hell did that come from?

I like Matt so much. And Jasmine, too.

I love Matt. He's going to be my woobie for a while. I think they only went with Meghan because they wanted someone kind country, which we don't really have.

I don't get hte Megan pick, I don't think she is who they want her to be. I would have rather seen Jessi in there since I think Jessi has a better idea of what kind of singer she is.

I didn't listen to Tatina so I didn't hear the accent but I have no doubt she saw how they reacted to Jorge and decided to use that.

Didn't Kristin Beard, the little blonde country girl, make it through? I'm already lost. And I don't think Megan is country at all. She's ... sort of bluesy, sort of ... indie rock, I think. She's got a unique voice, but it's really not as strong as it could be.

You may be right, Amy. I've already lost track of who all has been chosen, so far. Yeah, I think you've got it figured. Meghan reminds me of the blonde that always played the piano last season (sooo bad about names), she wasn't really country, kind of folksy.

Kristin Beard didn't make it through, she was eliminated last night and not picked for the wild card round.
