Maybe Ben's got the vote support of all the prisoners with internet connections? I hope he goes, too.

Very good point Darrell! I agree Ben needs to go. His attitude last night was awful.

I kind of wondered last week if they showed the stuff Ben said about gays to put him in a bad light so maybe he would finally get voted off. I don't think they want him there anymore but don't seem to be able to get rid of him. It sure turned me off of him. He is definitely the weakest of the 3 up this week.

Just a brief correction on Modeling on Film Challenge-Ronnie WAS used; he was in the scene with three people--it was Ronnie, Perry, and Holly. And the Blommingdale's director commented specifically on Ronnie's good eye contact with the customers. He also did really well on describing the product: "cotton blend" as opposed to polyester and cotton after being told the "p" word is a turnoff to people. And who did win the Bloomingdale challenge? Was it Casey?? And who of the 2 women, can't seem to remember. The director actually liked all of them.

I like Ben for the reason that he is just a regular guy with faults. Sure he was stubborn about the Bloomingdales stint but I actually admire him for sticking up for who he is (which is not a people person) rather then making Bloomingdales look bad for having him. He didn't sell himself out for the money. To me it doesn't mean he doesn't want to model but that he knows who he is.

Ben may be a great guy, I do find him likable, but how CAN you be a model if you are never comfortable doing the things that models have to do? I don't consider it selling yourself out for money to do the job that models are paid for: selling clothes. He seems uncomfortable and ill at ease in pretty much all the tasks. I'd say that means he is just not suited for this job. Look at how terrified Casey was of that snake, and the effort that he put into overcoming that fear to get a great picture. And at how sick Holly and Shannon were on different occaisions, but still kept going. Ben put zero effort into the Bloomingdale's task, which I think should get him sent packing.

oooh the models flew to New Orleans and are staying at the Hotel Monteleon! That is the hotel we stayed when we went down. (not in a huge suite like them of course-it was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever stayed in)

I can't believe Casey went instead of Ben tonight. I just don't think he deserves to be there over any of the others after his performances.

Holly is looking SO GREAT! Go, Holly, Go! I was sad to see Ronnie in the bottom again (bottom 2 this week, instead of bottom 3--they said this week only). Definitely want Ronnie to stay over Shannon. PS And I wish they had used the crow more, I really liked him.

I want Ronnie to stay. I voted ten times for him. Holly is looking so great. She rocked again this episode.

Gosh I can't believe how much I want Ben gone!! I wish he had been in the B2 tonight!!! I was so pumped when that judge said that America has made a mistake. I think america DID make a mistake! 1. The judges have continued to complain throughout the competition that Ben has only one look. 2. Ben has acted immature and childish in reaction to basic model work of sales. 3. He made extremely offensive gay comments to a "friend" and then played it off, saying that "he didn't mean to offend anyone"...as if that makes it all better! They still came out of his mouth so they came from somewhere inside of him! 4. The judges commented that his stiff body "worked" for him this week. I think that's kind of ridiculous. Just because it "just happened to benefit him" THIS WEEK does not make it any less of a liability in upcoming weeks. Here is my concern. Will america allow Ben to win just to show that they have the power to?? Because he has NOT shown he deserves to be here. He has been in the bottom almost EVERY judging since day one for a reason. I am feeling increasingly worried that america will continue to vote him back in...even over others who have more potential and have out-performed him week to week. I'm just shocked and angry that Ben is still on the show. Rant over. Now as for the two up for the vote.....I like Ronnie better BUT I think Shannon has more potential so I want Shannon to stay over Ronnie. I really hope it is a Perry/Holly F2. Please God!! I will take a Holly-win over a Ben-win even though Perry's my boy!!! ANYBODY but Ben!

I fell asleep before the end last night. I'm so sad to hear that Ronnie is in the bottom two! I agree, I want Ben out! Not Ronnie! Btw .. does anyone know who Perry's girlfriend is?? Just curious.

I think Perry's girlfriend is somebody named Amanda Pagel. At least that's what it said in one of the snippets I read about her and that guy who is supposedly Britney's ex. I think it said she was a waitress.

And I agree about not wanting America to let Ben win over somebody who has more potential and has put more effort into the tasks. I also like Ronnie the best of the two who are up for the vote, but I definitely think Shannon has more potential. So she screwed up on one photo shoot, look how many times Ronnie and Ben have flubbed or not come through. I have a feeling she is the one going home, though. It's funny how many times I've wanted America to have a vote on America's Next Top Model because I thought the panel was wrong, and now I'm worried because I think this panel is dead on and America will screw it up!!!

I think Ben has benefited from the situation that even though he seems to always be in the bottome three, someone else messes up more than he did THAT week, and so he slides by one more time. I have not really disagreed that much with the ones sent home over him. Does it bother you that the judges keep bringing up Holly's emotionalism, and in doing so, triggers those very emotions? I have a feeling that if they would just leave her alone about it, she can overcome it. She is so much better than earlier. And hell, some people just cry easily, that does not mean they are not tough. I am bothered by Perry's reaction to the story about his girlfriend. He should know by now that you can't believe anything that is written in one of those tabloid papers without futher proof. they fake stories all the time. He is just accepting it as fact. If I was her, if the story is not true, I would be dumping him for lack of trust. And I would sue the pants off that magazine. It is time they are held accountable for their actions. Too many people just let it slide. Of course if the story is true, that is a whole different thing. The thing that bothered me about Shannon was her arrogance. It went beyond just confidence. And the guys were right. She did not take critizism well.

Do we actually vote on the winner? I would think the panel would make the last choice. Hope Hope Hope. Ben - huh? What the heck is he doing still there? He is nice but he is so wooden I thought he would leave at the very beginning.

Vacanick, I especially loved the part where Ronnie (I think) finishes his catwalk with a slap on his rear, and Christian says "no, don't do that"...lol Can't wait!

WOW. Just wow at how arrogant and jerky the guys are being to Holly. I always thought Perry was the big jerk in the group, but Ronnie was SO sure he was coming back and the way Ben was goading Holly just pisses me off. Please let one of these guys go this week.
