America's next top model the second one

04:27 / 22.02.04

how is this series going? is it as good as the last one? I don't know, I don't watch tv anymore.

02:06 / 27.02.04

really? no one here watches this one? reality tv show, with models competing against each other and Tyra Banks is the top judge? I think its on upn on tuesdays like at nine or something.

16:00 / 27.02.04

As watches my girlfriend, so then do I watch.

It's a fun show. I was disappointed when they kicked off Catie cause she was so cute in her twiggy haircut and I loved that she spent most of each episode crying.

Tyra's music is pretty damn sucky.

I really enjoyed the first series of this (almost despite myself)...it's the only reality show that ever fully got its claws into me. I started watching the second series and found it kind of meh in comparison. No real underdogs to cheer on (well, there's one sort of underdog but she's no Adrianne Curry) and the amusement value of people talking about how much they had learned about their walk or about looking into a camera has worn pretty thin.

Crazy coked up plastic surgery disaster Janice Dickenson (Dickerson?) is still fun to watch though.

You don't think Shandi has an underdog quality?

Is she the really thin one who got done for breaking into a store for drug money and swears she'll 'never go back to Walgrens'? That's who I meant when I said there was one underdog...but she's still no Adrianne.

20:37 / 27.02.04

yeah, that's her. I really liked her until she got on her boyfriend's case for going to the movies.

Remember, ladies, just because you're crying, that doesn't make you Catie.

04:34 / 29.02.04

well what about one that talks shit about all the others? I did like Adriane and would've voted for her too but I liked Elyse too she was cool and also that like Elyse and Adriane against Robin thing was fun. is there no villain in like there was in the last?

that janice dickenson gives me the creeps.

In a perfect world, Elyse and Adrianne would host their own wacky late night talk show on one of my many cable networks, and the head writer would be Dave Mordal from NBC's LAST COMIC STANDING....

04:54 / 01.03.04

yeah, they kinda balance each other out huh? that would rock, cause they're sexified and funny even though Elyse was too thin.

hey I heard that they had adriane on in a earlier show? what did she do? and why I haven't I seen her in any ads so far?

17:21 / 01.03.04

Watching the new show definitely left me missing Elyse. She's apparently going to medical school. My girlfriend and I considered going to see her boyfriend's band when it came to town, but then suddenly realized that was kind of ridiculous.

Just in case anyone forgot what she looked like....

Elyse rocks.

Since Satan gave me a brand spiffin' new TV for christmas, I thought it was my duty to catch up on the reality TV craze. Now, there are many that just do not entertain me enough, but one fateful night during January I caught an episode of the first series and I have never ever looked back since. I loved the drama inherent in the bitchy world of modelling, I adored Elyse with her far too intelligent eyes, I hated that Bibletrash thing who shall remain nameless but we can call her Robin, if you like. And after she won, I warmed up to Adrienne during another rerun, where I followed it from the first episode and onwards.

Now, the second series is even better. The drama has been amped up to eleven. The embarrassing behaviour of the object of my hate who shall remain nameless because I have forgotten her name, but that she is Jamaican and appalling in every way are two leads you might use to track her name down. And I just did, fuck!, and I just found out unwillingly who won.

Never mind. I shall enjoy my girls for as long they are around and I will miss them when they are gone. My Monday nights will never be the same again when it stops.
