It would be really interesting if they got to pick their own photos -- not something real models get to do, of course, but it would really tell you who knows what they are doing and who's just getting lucky shots.
Edit: Or, not what they are doing, but the theory/eye stuff.
Jesse has all my thoughts on Supermodel!
I gotta say, if they keep Perou or whatever around next season, I may not watch. I can't stand him, and not in the fun, "Oh, shut up, Simon" way.

Yes, I always think this on ANTM too--wasn't there one time they DID get to pick a photo, or something? Because there are many times I doubt the judges are actually picking the BEST photo, and think they're instead really picking a photo just to illustrate whatever point they want to make.
I was kinda sad (but unsurprised) to see Celia go. I don't want Allison to win, though. So does that mean Aminat has any chance? She *does* have a gorgeous body and her skin just GLOWS. Teyona (whose name I had to look up) continues to be so freaky looking that I just can't get into her winning, so...meh. I was really rooting for Fo, I think, and now that she's gone, am not a big fan of anyone.
(MMaSM hasn't aired yet on this coast, so no opinions there, yet)
Aw, I love Tom Colicchio. Times interview. [link]
ANTM - I was hoping for Celia to make it into the top three. I figured she couldn't win - she's too "old" (25 is, what - 55 in model years?). But the girl really knew fashion. I'm not really rooting for anyone at this point - they've gotten rid of the bitches and some of the more interesting people. Allison's odd, but it was interesting to see how long she kind of coasted on photographing well and then, suddenly, she "got" it (something in the air in Sao Paolo?). eh ... time will tell.
And sometimes I get impatient with the girls getting over-emotional about something, until I remember how YOUNG they are - they're all, I think, under 20. I kind of remember being that age ....
I like Tom!

Seriously -- I think the 25 year olds at work are impossibly young!
Which reminds me of Branden on MMaSM, who graduated from high school and went right on the show, and it's kind of catching up with him. Poor noodle.

I want to feed him soup and pet his head. I mean, he's gorgeous, but mostly I just want to mother him.
I am just so glad we got rid of Amanda, especially once she told America that she walks around naked so her son won't turn out gay.
excuse me--So her son won't turn out like gay.
I deleted the ep, so I can't go find it, but I swear I heard her say that.
