After last week I have officially given up on The Fashion Show. I just can't bring myself to care about the outcome, nor am I getting any joy out of the experience of watching.
Expedition Africa, OTOH, continues to be full of awesomecakes. I'm almost caught up now, and have Ep 3 on the DVR to watch tonight.
Sounds like on ANTM when the girls get their makeovers and there's always one who has a meltdown because they're cutting her hair.
I was texting my friend about the WNTW and saying the Texas woman was like Fo from last cycle ANTM. Except Fo was like 19 and this woman should know better. Sad.
And then disinviting men to her reveal party? She clearly has some serious issues.
Oh yeah, that was No Joke. I'm reminded of the other crazy southern big-haired lady who freaked out until her husband loved the new hair! They should show those clips to the recalcitrant ones.

I am still watching and still not caring.
My Tivo seems to be going back and forth on Fashion Show, since it's only picking up random epsisodes.

Based on the first episode, I'm not convinced. Although it was interesting to see that real "survivors" were just as pigheaded and clueless as the fake ones.
Jesse I was going to mention Southern Big Hair Lady! She didn't look a ton younger when she got her make over but she looked so much more current.
There was also this woman who I think had just turned thirty she had straight short blonde hair and wore khakis and white t shirts. She said Fuck a lot (they bleeped more in that show than the whole rest of the series I think) and she hated the clothes and her hair. They went back and fixed her hair color to what she wanted. And in her reveal she looked so uncomfortable like she picked the clothes she thought they wanted her to and not because she liked them.
I always get frustrated with those because it seems like a waste of everyone's time. I like it better when someone really gets it. Like in an early season (with Clinton) there was a lawyer who wore all black. She was so, shy, and not confident. She kept saying that everything was so nice but really not for her and really seemed like she didn't think she deserved those things. And then they finally got her new look and not only did she look great but she seemed 100% more confident in herself.
Why is Katie Holmes going to be on SYTYCD? I have seen the Eli Stone clips and I have to say I'm not impressed. Ugh. Joey Potter still finds a way to ruin everything.
I think she has a dance background, pre-Joey and
Dawson's Creek
?
But it still seems weird -- she's not judging, she's dancing?! Can that be right?
She's in Chicago, correct? So she probably is singing and dancing.
BTW, her acting skills in "Eli Stone" were dreadful. Just dreadful.
I'm just happy to see her out and about, at this point.
