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.

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think Celia looks like Martha Plimpton at times, but maybe JJL also.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And this is why I love him:

Mark Bittman, I don't think he adds value to anyone's TV show. He doesn't come off well on TV. Let's put it that way. I saw him make paella once on a TV show; he's been dead to me ever since

Hah!

We tried watching Chopping Block and lasted through about one commercial break. Granted, we jumped in about 10 minutes in, and were a bit confused as to the premise, but there was nothing compelling about it, despite Marco White.

I like what he said about Good Eats being such an anomaly on Food Network, since it's smart and informative and lasted as long as it has.
