Is Make Me a Supermodel not on tonight? It looks like Bravo has their A-List awards show instead.

Is Make Me a Supermodel not on tonight?

oh bummer! Although that does increase my chances of getting to bed early.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think that's right, Kathy. Which is okay with me because it's opening playoff day for the NHL.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto and ditto.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How is it possible, that tuning into ANTM again today, I'm picking up exactly where I left off, same cycle, next episode?

Because books.

No models tonight! (Supermodels, anyway.) I wonder if that's why the preview said it would be a double elimination next time, since they're losing a week.

oh, good to know on mmasm, since im in a hotel room, sans tivo, and would be frantically trying to find it!

Thrive to spite them

I'm not surprised by what happened tonight. I figured the bottom 3 would be either Anoop, Lil, Matt or Anoop , Lil, Kris. And I figured that the save would go down the same way.

Next week will be interesting.

t Trying not to look at AI results

In the course of discussing the current structure for television threads, it was suggested to modify the slugs (and sometimes headers) for TV bucket threads to more adequately represent what is discussed in each one. The idea behind this revision is to make it clearer when looking at the list of thread titles which shows are discussed where.

This (non-inclusive) listing would not be to restrict what can be discussed in a given thread, but rather to give an idea as to which 3-5 shows are likely to be dominant in that thread at that time. They would be updated every 4 months or so to reflect the changing network/cable seasons.

The decision as to which shows belong in the current slug will be based on bullshit consensus within each thread. When the call goes out (like now!), please discuss in-thread and then post any update or change in Bureaucracy so that the stompies can update the slug.

The proposed slug for Non-Fiction TV is: Thread for discussion of non-fiction television, including, but not limited to, ?, ?, and ?. [NAFDA]
Please revise and fill in relevant titles for the upcoming months and post the update in Bureaucracy.

I would suggest streamlining the header for Non-Fiction TV to be: This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television and documentaries.
Please post your version in Bureaucracy.

ETA: I'm thinking definitely SYTYCD should be there.

WTF? I can't believe that they wasted the save like that. Wasn't it supposed to be for the shock elimination?
