You should be able to find it on your remote under functions, setup or something similar. YOu probably just have it turned on by accident

thanks Jasper - but the setup function on my remote no longer works. When I hit the button all it allows me to do is set the sleep alarm. I can no longer scroll to other options. Oh well. It's not like i don't have other TV's - it's the one in my bedroom and I just didn't feel like moving from my comfy reading chair into the front room. My bad PS but I wonder why it just did it on that show. Other shows apparently offer descriptive service but this has never happened on my TV before (and I hope that is the last time it does it  )

It will probably end up being one of those things. Do you ever have that where something you thought didn't work does so, briefly, and snafus a whole bunch of things

What NOBODY mentioned Sisi??? Was it just me or is she a bit strange? Do you get the feeling she's just trying to get camera time with her 'dramatics'? This group seems VERY cut throat with each other. When they were at the dinner table basically they all said they were women haters. Should make for interesting TV viewing for us! lol I like the girl who doesn't know she's beautiful. I felt for her at the dinner table when she asked you get over the 'home sickness'. Also no mention of the 'topless' girl. I didn't think it was a big deal and was surprised it was pointed out. Beautiful British Columbia, I feel VERY fortunate to have been born and raised here. *grin* P.S. I liked seeing Jay from ATM.

I thought Sisi was definitely a bit strange. I told my husband that she amused me and intrigued me this episode, but that later in the season we'd probably all hate her because she'd do something evil. I did like the way she did her face, though -- the pale matte skin with bright lipstick, no eyeliner looked great on her!

Will Jay be on all the episodes, or was he simply a "hook" to link CNTM with ANTM and attract viewers to the first show?

I think he'll be making 'guest appearances'. Oh ya, that 'famous european model' who is one of the judges, she's odd looking in my opinion. lol And her voice, it's sooooo deep!! I was glad it was Sylvia who got booted. If she had showed a LITTLE that she could be flexible in her attitude they probably would have kept her.

Jay was the "hook" for the first show The quiet nonspeaking nondescript woman with the dark hair(who came back from Europe) is the real person that works with the girls. I was so disappointed in the way we were shown. It looked like the girls are way out in the BUSH in the WILD country. From what I understood they are in a house just by the Capital city of Victoria. Rich people have huge waterfront acreages...it ISNT the boonies like it was portrayed! Many rich people here own their own islands and have boats and seaplane docks. The girls are just as disappointing on the show as they were on the website. Only three have any real chance in my opinion. What was with Sisi giving her location as China while the blurb on the bottom said Richmond LOL Many people arent aware that we have over 30% Asian population in BC. I am shocked she would have been accepted on the show if she wasnt a Canadian citizen. The horribly thin "I dont think I'm beautiful" girl sure takes beautiful pictures. I hope she goes far. (( Jan, your tv may not be acting up. It could be your remote. That a the secondary audio program (SAP) when it describes everything. Every remote is different but there should be a little button))} I couldnt believe the girls werent told they were going to the EMPRESS!!! That place is major ritzy! Not a mention was made of Victoria OR the Empress (which is where royalty and celebrities go when here). Am I incorrect in remembering that on ANTM they tell the girls all about the fancy restaurants they get to go to?? All we got to see was them coming up in the carriages and Tricia coming down the stairs of the Empress. This show is failing miserably as a promotion for Canada being equal to the USA version. They also lost huge opportunities to show

Gee it is only the first episode I think we should give it a chance. I actually didn't think it would measure up to ANTM, they have had so much more experience with their show and working the bugs out. Tricia has to learn how to hand those pictures out Tyra style. She seemed to show them before she said the name. Yes Sisi was weird, I think she said she was born in Bejing but had come to Canada young. I didn't get the impression it was the boonies, I thought were they where located was beautiful. Seeing all that we saw just made me want to go to BC more. And the topless girl, I guess Tricia would know better if it was an inappropriate amount of time. I didn't really think anything of it either.

Oh good, I figured that the show was giving the false impression this was an isolated place and that the city where they had dinner was NON-important. I want to give this show a chance. I only hope that the tasks and photoshoots are up to standard. There are quite a few famous models from Canada. Even pamela Anderson worked as a model here before changing her focus in life.
For anyone who isnt aware of location. Victoria is located at the tip of Vancouver Island.... which borders the USA Juan de Fuca islands.

HOTEL HISTORY During the summer months, The Fairmont Empress in Victoria, British Columbia, serves Afternoon Tea to more guests than most hotels in London, England. More than 800 people per day come to enjoy a tradition that has been part of the hotel since she first opened her doors in 1908. Throughout its history, The Fairmont Empress has played host to kings, queens, movie stars and many famous people. The hotel has long been accustomed to entertaining Hollywood celebrities; Rita Hayworth, Jack Benny, Pat O'Brien, Douglas Fairbanks, Katherine Hepburn, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Tallulah Bankhead, Roger Moore, John Travolta, Barbra Streisand, Harrison Ford and a host of others have passed through its lobby. Shirley Temple arrived accompanied by her parents amid rumors that she had fled from California because of kidnapping threats, a story borne from the presence of two huge bodyguards who took the room opposite hers and always left their door open. There have also been reports of hauntings. http://www.fairmont.com/empress/ (in case anyone is interested, I was raised on that little beanshaped island off the coast of the city of Nanaimo.)

My prediction for Final three. Natalie, Heather and Andrea. I am surprised alanna was even picked. She is very girl next door in appearance but really isnt very photogenic (at least in the above shot AND the first episode)

Jasper--LOL Terrible but I love it!! LOL I'm liking this show already. I guess I didn't have 'high expectations' which is why I'm enjoying it. Looking forward to next weeks show.

Jean Beker was on Chum today promoting the show. Saying it was hard to judge and justifying getting rid of Sylvie because she just didn't seem to have the passion for it. The ads for tonight look good! And they were worried they would end up with a bunch of "nice" Canadian girls and no drama.

Tonite is the makeover show. The girls all look fabulous! A couple of them know that they look good and aren't ashamed to tell us how good they look. (Yes, that means you Andrea and Tenika.) I really like their new looks.

Oh. I missed the photo shoot. I had to meet my Avon lady's husband. He does the deliveries. (He used to work where I work, but he was let go last year and we were catching up on office gossip.)

At the judging, the judges asked the girls (individually) who they would choose to send packing based on what they have learned so far about modelling? Who do they want out of the house? The editing was done very quickly and I'm still learning all the names, but most chose Sisi. Four girls picked Sisi to go home because apparently she lacks the most self-confidence.

Here are some comments the judges made while looking at the photos: Tenika - great self-awareness, face not great Dawn - not great; asked her if she's comfortable? Heather - strong photo; need toning in the legs Andrea - great body language; shave those arms girl! Alanna - too athletic Sisi - All the judges said "WOW!" Ylenia - she needs to learn her light. work with her eye shape. Brandi - trouble with her mouth in the photo. She messed up and needs to work harder. Natalie - most extreme pose.

Bottom two were: Dawn and Brandi Brandi - You have a fabulous body but you only have one look. You're not high fashion. Dawn - Beauty is not enough. The camera scares you. Dawn was sent home.

Hey Jhonise, That's great spoiling! I find the photography and posing interesting to watch. As usual, the women that I like (more than others) seem to be the first eliminated, but I can't say I'm surprised.

Andrea's change was so dramatic (short red hair) - even though she was a crybaby about it. She is so young that i don't see how she could survive in the fashion world ?? but the new look certainly took her from a girl to a woman!!!
