Punishingly Intricate

oh, it is like my addiction. I usually like Gillian, but this season I am all about Bob.

Gillian is getting on my nerves this season with the yelling. I thought she handled (or, really, didn't handle) the situation with Felipe really poorly. And I hate what a baby she was when they had the challenge where they couldn't use the gym. Bob I like because of the yoga. but he also bugged me when he was telling Felipe & Sione that he doesn't treat the show like a game or whatever it was he said. It was just a few episodes ago where he was giving his team shit for voting off someone (I don't remember who) and what bad game play that was and how they needed to play the game.

Don't you think the 2 sisters could have convinced black team girl to vote off Kristin (sp?) ? pulling a big switcheroo - instead of just accepting the scenario that Ron dictated? Ron kinda works my last nerve.

Yeah I didn't get that at all. Why was it a foregone conclusion that it had to be one of them going home?

ok , I feel that self-lighting AND Nigel as photog is hard for shoot 2.

Because books.

I agree, msbelle. Trying to light yourself and pose well must be tough for someone with no experience!

There are a lot of divas this year, huh? Sandra is HORRIBLE, but she's gorgeous, and totally has Angelina Jolie's mouth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And don't they usually wait longer for makeovers anyway?

I would not have thought that Nole was only there for two seasons, I mean cycles.

I'm so ridiculously excited that they're doing the photoshoot where I grew up that I'm making Allyson watch.

They usually do wait another week for the makeovers, but I love the makeovers.

And I love that Fo was all "I look butch!" and I'm thinking "Sweetie, you look HOT, WORK IT!" Um, I might be a little bit biased.

I still don't get why they love CrazyEyes. And I think much as they love Celia-the-25yearold, she's too old to be a model and eventually they're going to turn on her. And she has buckteeth.

And Tyra was right, her WindTunnelFace girl's weave did look janky.

'Til we dance away...

Celia really looks like someone to me, so much so that it distracts me from what she actually looks like. I think it may be young Jennifer Jason Leigh. Is this possible?

I thought they would give CrazyEyes dark hair and some kind of choppiness or bob which would have toned down the crazy. Apparently this was not their goal, which I should have known.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

CJ can go home now. She's such a whiny baby about her hair and is taking it out on her job--not a good idea! Chris, however, seemed to be a nice guy who couldn't work on getting some range. At least we saw Colin busting his ass to get his walk right.

Sandhurst was amazing in that shoot--he's going to have a big future in modeling even if he doesn't win. Colin should be taking notes on how to move and improvise during a shoot.

And whoever said that anyone done up in that candycane makeup was going to look brilliant was actually right. It was a very striking look that would have taken a lot to screw up.

Best makeover was Jonathan, definitely! He looks scrumptious now.

Totally. Colin looked weird with so much makeup on, though -- I can't imagine he would ever actually be hired by an edgy brand.
