After seeing the show again last night, I still think that the whole Kim thing was planned to some extent. Kim was the last one to be evaluated. The 'shocked' look on the judges faces did not seem sincere. It was more of a "mock shocked" look. Then, the way that Tyra dismissed her was just plain strange. So, I still think it was a bit staged.

Paris model led campaign against female circumcision these are the titles of the article on model Katoucha Niane, from Guinea West Africa, her body was found in the Seine River in Paris last Thursday. She was 47. French Police confirmed she accidentally fell over the side of her houseboat and went straight to the bottom. I think I saw her a couple of times on some tv clips, quite beautiful. She was victim of the same circumcision of Fatima and wrote a book about it "In My Flesh". I just wonder if her death will be mentioned on Wednesday... oops, this is not a live show like Big Brother, it's more like Survivor, pre-taped, right? But maybe by now Fatima and Tyra will have some comments on that. For those interested I'm sure you can find info on the internet.

Meanwhile Nigel Barker, photographer and judge on the show travelled to ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on Canada's annual seal hunt. Mr. Barker said his trip to the seal nursery was awe-inspiring but he couldn't stop thinking about the coming hunt. "The hardest part for me was the realization that so many of the pups are about to be killed in such a brutal fashion," he said. The hunt usually starts in late March or early April, depending on ice conditions. I saw tv clips of the killing and I was shocked at first but I also understood some of the problems the locals face with the increasing number of seals in their coastal waters.

I didn't even know this started and prob. won't be watching this season. I'm so over Tyra and her bad acting skills. The 3 girls they put in TV Guide are not attractive at all. It sure wouldn't want to make people watch.

LOL... It was probably me being a dork. I think you're right, cause Girlicious repeats afterwards. I recorded something for nothing last night!

I still watch this show too, but I gotta say "Make Me a Supermodel" makes this one look even more like amateur hour. Holly could wipe the floor with any one of these girls.

Holly could wipe the floor with one arm tied behind her back, blindfolded, and crawling backwards on her knees!

Tyra would probably cut Holly in the first or second week because Marvita would keep making Holly cry. Totally non-sequitur, but I'm still bitter about Brita!

Catfat, Make Me a Supermodel comes on Bravo Thursdays at 10:00. They show a lot of repeats of the shows during the week, and you may be able to catch some of the episodes on their website. It's a really good show, it concentrates a lot more about modeling instead of "created" drama. (Not to say that there isn't any drama, lol.) Come to think of it, Holly would probably have a big rat's nest hairdo instead of that more classy cut that she's got now if Tyra got hold of her.

Not sure who goes home yet, but here's where we are so far. Purses delivered with apple bottom jeans. Allison is getting annoyed with the other girls. As she puts it, she has more experience than the other girls as SHE has modeled in Asia, Bangcock, Thailand... They all try on the jeans. Fatima tells Allison that she has a larger behind than her. Allison gets mad. Apparently, she used to be anorexic. Tyra Mail: 5:00 am - Walmart (boy have we come down a notch). Makeup challenge and the winner will have their picture on the Walmart Covergirl webpage. Claire wins. (I think she has an Ashley Judd sort of look) Back home -Allison is playing with a black doll and a white doll. She makes some disparaging remarks about how the black doll 'takes it'. Fatima is there and takes offense. (I guess Allison and Fatima don't like each other.)

Tyra Mail: makeovers ! screams ensue. Tyra doesn't tell them what their hair will look like. But, she tells us in the corner of the screen. Allison: Red Hair Amis: Long, blond weave Clair: Blond, very short hair (she doesn't look like Ashley Judd anymore) Dom: Short hair, darker (she looks pretty) Kat: Dark hair Marvita: Horsemane hair weave (stupid, talk about accentating her horsier facial features) Anya: Platinum Blond Whitney: Blond Weave (looks like Trisha Yearwood) Aimee: Bangs, red hair Lauren: (they destroyed her kookie look) Long blond hair with red highlights Stacie Ann: Short and spikey (she wanted long hair) Fatima: Chestnut brown weave (she didn't like it) Photo shoot: Elle MacPherson is here today. Modeling her lingerie. She talked to each one individually. They are on a boat with the NY skyline in the background. Love Christian Marc, he was getting seasick. Lauren: Awkward, not embracing new makeover Allison: Again talks about her advanced experience in modeling, but doesn't do very well in the photo shoot - posing. Thinks she nailed it, so that might be the kiss of death. Dom: Trys hard, they called it catalogue 3 times and commercial once. Marvita has never met anyone as nice as Elle. Tyra Mail: Only 11 will continue on... Allison just said that she kicked 'a$$' at her photo shoot, "I'm not going home"...

Panel Time! Amis: Feels sexier with her new hairdo. Likes the expression, the body needs some work. Lost Allison: Good legs, eyes far away. Just standing there. Lights on, no one home. Needs to be more natural (Nigel called her conceited) Clair: Eyebrow good, but mouth not relaxed. Really great to work with. Picture doesn't do her justice. Dom: Dimples on leg. Film looked like newspaper models. "Soccer mom" Kat: Sex Kitten. Mail order bride #1, Tacky Marvita: Horsemane hair. Stunning. Stiff at first, then nailed it. Anya: great energy, Tyra liked, potential but weird accent Whitney: Unhappy with film. Too covered up. Tyra will talk to the stylist. Not a great shot. (not her fault) Aimee: Incredible skin. Needs to extend more. Lauren: Tyra and Miss Jay gives her some tips to standing. Awkwardness works for her. Stacie Ann: Needs to extend neck. Paulina Jaw. Fatima: Looks like Iman. Models from the waist up. Judges Deliberating... Top Photo: Lauren (shocked) Bottom 2: Dominique and Allison Sent Home: Allison Sounds like Dominique will get a different hair color. Next week: Runway.. and Whitney and Fatima smackdown.

I thought over-all the make-overs were much better this season. There wasn't a lot that could be done with Claire's hair since the side of her head was shaved, and with Marvita, but I thought both of them looked pretty decent, actually. I was glad Allison went home, she seemed like she was spoiled rotten. Hated her juvenile "doll-playing". I wouldn't mind seeing Fatima go next, I don't like her atitude and that every bit of drama so far seems to involve her and her insensitivity.

Oh, yeah. I forgot to add that I never thought they could find somebody who would annoy me as much as Jaslene with the way they talk but they sure did it with Anya. If she gets a lot of talk-time this season, I may have to rip my own ears off.

I wasn't surprised to see Allison go home... as soon as they start to show clips of the girls saying "I rocked the shoot" you know that girl's gone (so predictable!). But I agree I'd like to see Fatima go. I don't think she will because of her background, at least not yet. I liked that Tyra was upset at the stylist for what she/he did with (can't remember her name, the plus size model). They totally ruined her with that outfit. I'm really liking Lauren. I think she's got an edgy look if she can just figure out what to do with limbs! ETA: I was totally cracking up at the makeovers. So there were comments about how there weren't too many blondes this season? Well guess what? We got blondes!!!!

Two girls named Alison were both evicted from two different tv shows, this one and the other one on Big Brother. Unlucky day for them. Too bad, I thought Alison was going further than that, but the judges are determined to see their contestants humble and saying "thank you" over and over again. Some makeovers great but others lousy again. Especially Alison, her former dark hair were better than the reddish color. Too many blondes this time and too many fall colors.. Katarzyna brunette is less attractive than her lighter hair before... Dominique seems older now.. mousy hair color is horrible. The other platino blond has her washout looks.. anyway, no one seems to stand out.

I think Dominque's hair color is changing... when Tyra gave her her pic she said something about having them give her the hair color SHE envisioned. And I agree... I hated that "not quite auburn" color that they gave Allison. It wasn't rich enough to be auburn.

Is Fatima trying way to hard to be a cool American female? by always saying the wrong thing, and making faces. Is she acting or is she really that over confident and assumes she has this all wrapped up is the best and will win...

I thought Allison deserved to go. She had an air of entitlement because she had "more experience" than the other girls. Even with Mr. Jay and the photographer trying to give her direction, she seemed intent that she knew best. And she should have said "thank you" when Tyra was giving her compliments. Not saying it was just rude, and then it looked like she gave some kind of smug, cutesy wink when Nigel commented on her lack of courtesy.
